Meigs is very solid this year and play as a team very well

... have the Marauders EVER been healthy??? saw one in a knee brace & street clothes - HE didn't look to be coming back this season ... then Brayden Stanley started, played , knocked down 4 treys/17pts - by the 4th quarter he was out of the game getting his ankle worked on /shoe off/never returned ... All 5 starters can score the ball - solid offensive team for sure - Brayden Stanley 17pts 4 treys/ Dustin Vance 15pts / Cayden Gheen 11 pts 3 treys/ Conlee Burnem 8pts / Reed Brinager 8pts ...

No not really, the one in the knee brace and street clothes was senior star 6’5” guard Braylon Harrison who tore his ACL in the first 2 minutes of the Vinton County game when he had a break away dunk and landed awkwardly and he is in fact out for the season after having surgery, Brayden Stanley is tough and will be back to starting next game I guarantee it, those young men play for each other when their teammates are down or injured

... Meigs having all of the starters capable of scoring the ball makes it tough to double down on the inside/ makes opponents HAVE TO play them straight up ... nice ball club ... as I posted in my rundown of the game last night, the Marauders struggled with the Trimble pressure in the opening quarter - made me make a note of it on my napkin stat sheet (5 turnovers in the 1st quarter) BUT they only had 5 the next 3 quarters combined & 2 of those 5 in the last 3 qtrs were "player control" foul turnovers ...

^^^yes our coach made game time adjustments. Theirs didn’t. We won.

I also believe 6’4” freshman starting guard Reed Brinager left the game late 3rd quarter due to an apparent hand injury after a bad fall on a lay up where his legs were clipped from under him

No they have NEVER been fully healthy and it's quite unfortunate.
You must have overlooked the post last week which updated you on Braylon Harrison and his ACL surgery.
Braylon would've without a doubt been one of the top players in the TVC this year.
Stanley is dealing with some foot issues but he is tough and fighting through it.
This team has been hit with a lot of bad injury luck the past few seasons and it sucks! What else can you do but fight through it!!
They are very bonded and they will continue to fight for each other!

Brinager is a key player for Meigs. Hand or elbow injury? I’m sure someone will know more about him in a day or two. He’s one of the better freshmen around.

Glad to have been able to help out with the game time adjustments. When they listen we win.

Any update on the Meigs players who may have been injured Saturday night? Brinager in particular seemed to take a hard fall.

I would say Brayden Stanley will be back come tuesday night he’s tough as nails, Haven’t Heard or seen anything about Brinager yet so will have to see what the future holds

Not looking good for Freshman starter Brinager.
Meigs will continue to fight for each other and battle through adversity as they have all year.

Looked like Brinager had an elbow or wrist injury, but I didn’t know if he’d miss any games. Sounds like maybe?

Broken bones in hand requiring surgery is what we've heard.
