Thoughts? SV is higher seeded, but my guess is Fairfield will be favored is this matchup?

A team is 19-3 on the year and not coached very well? Can you elaborate on that a bit? Not bashing just curious. Are they that athletic?riverRat52 wrote: Tue Feb 22, 2022 2:12 pm Symmes Valley is very athletic and can score in bunches, but can also be very turnover-prone and doesn't seem to be coached very well. Symmes Valley will need to play their most sound and disciplined game of the year.. should be a good game.
Not really that farfetched. Athens was just like that when they had Burrows, Watson, Lerhman's etc. and Alexander was this year, though not as good as those Athens teams were. So, yeah a team can be really good with lack of coaching. But it's pretty rare. They typically get beaten in the tournament though when the face a team that has a little talent and good coaching.torroeldorado wrote: Tue Feb 22, 2022 2:17 pmA team is 19-3 on the year and not coached very well?

Gotcha, understood. I would imagine a team like that is a little hard to prepare for and a bit scary. I've not seen them, just seen some big numbers from them.Pat wrote: Tue Feb 22, 2022 2:46 pmNot really that farfetched.

I haven't seen SV at all. But keep in mind while Athens was doing that they were loaded with D1 athletes who were intelligent. An empty chair could have could have been the coach and they would have had the same record.torroeldorado wrote: Tue Feb 22, 2022 2:51 pmGotcha, understood.

Very athletic with decent size all but 1 starter over 6ft, but no one overly big. They can get out and run and put pressure on the defensive end. I've seen them struggle when a team goes zone, they never seem to know what to do and they aren't great perimeter shooters. They also have struggled to break the press if someone puts pressure on them. Also watched them completely botch leads a few times and totally mismanage the last few possessions in the loss against Western. But they have the talent and looked great against Manchester...even if it is Manchester. They will need to have it all put together Saturday, I imagine Fairfield will slow it down and make them play a disciplined game.torroeldorado wrote: Tue Feb 22, 2022 2:17 pmA team is 19-3 on the year and not coached very well?

Without a starter vs Cedarville if I recallgo48 wrote: Wed Feb 23, 2022 4:36 pm Fairfields 5 losses. Twice to Eastern Brown, Fairland, Lucasville Valley, and a state ranked Cedarville team. They will be ready to play on Saturday night!
Yes without a starter!
