North Adams vs. Piketon

[TAR HEEL FAN44]

Congrats on a GREAT season North Adams....and good luck next season.

It's a GREAT day to be a Streak!

Congratulations to North Adams. Coming back from a big deficit shows the collective heart of a champion. Nothing to hang your head about.

Streaks, Business is not yet finished. Much work left to do to prepare for Grandview. Don't let up.

eagles73, Where can we get tickets, and how much are they? Do 2nd graders need a ticket?

[Flashing Cursor]

The Streaks pull of the upset. Plenty of adversity with players playing sick. You could tell they were awful weak down the stretch. But, they pulled it out. Great run by NA tonight...

Smith had his mojo tonight, Brabson & Southworth tough as nails, Brush played great, Legg is an absoulute beast. Great minutes by Vulgamore and Helton. You played with the heart of a warrior tonight boys...

Coach Lisath, Legg and clan you did an excellent job tonight.

This is from ONE PROUD REDSTREAK!!!!!!

SHL coaches better think twice before you blackball a kid who should be 1st team all district...

Were you at the game? Smith played a nice game but 2/3rds of his points were off of layups where Legg broke the weak press and hit him on the block for a layup. He didnt make tough shots all night - his poinst came from layups and foul shots. It would take a lot more than just the few coaches from the SHL to keep Smith off of the 1st team!

So what are you saying layups should only count as 1 pt... He took the ball to the hole all night long scored 34 points... When you do that in the regional semi vs. the #1 team talk to me...

Very good game. Congratulations to the Redstreaks and best of luck as you move forward.
Very proud of the North Adams team and the way they fought back in this game. Kraig Unger showed why he is the district player of the year and showed a tremendous amount of heart. You young men represented your school and community well and should be very proud of the season you had. Your fans certainly are. Best of luck to the seniors, you will certainly be missed.

if that doesn't get unger a full ride somewhere somebody is really missing the boat.

Sorry spark, he can shoot on the D1 level, but somebody better teach him to play defense. The ole dribble by me and try to flick it from behind doesn't work against better players. Legg went right by him all night and penetrated the paint and dished for easy lay ups. I personally cannot believe that Coach Young didn't get in his face and challenge him to keep him in front of him. Instead they put #10 on him. Theirs more to this game than offense. But he sure does have the stroke! As good as anyone in high school!

[eagles73Taylor]

Mikepike, tickets are on sale at the high school and middle school. $6 presale, and school aged children are the same. 5 and under are free. Lets Go Streaks!

I was really impressed with both teams and coaches. Legg is beginning to remind me (not yet, but coming) of another Redstreak (via Beaver) that could break the defense down off the dribble and find open teammates...Eric Caudill. Legg, even when you think he's a bit out of control, that head is up and he's going to find somebody or hurt you himself...what a sophomore! Somebody mentioned that "all Cody Smith did was make layups..." That's like saying all Cris Carter did was catch touchdowns. That kid took it to the hole with authority (they all did). Here's one Waverly Tiger that was very proud to be a Pike Countian last night...go Streaks!!!

Zane Trace (55-44) and Huntington (55-45) both beat Piketon by keeping the score down and playing half court.
Grandview seems to play the same way, but I will be surprised if Piketon doesn't win. I think that they are going to Columbus.

Totally Agree. Why on Earth do you keep coming out 30-40 feet from the basket and trying to trap and than Piketon makes one pass, penetrates, and has a 3 on 2 advantage? I just didnt get it. After a while I just sat down and quit yelling. If you pack in your zone defense and stop gambling 30 feet from the basket they dont get easy layups and have to make tough shots from the perimeter.

He played a great game. All Im saying is that he scored most of his points by catching a pass at the block and making the layup. Watch the tape and count the layups. Now, lets drop the subject. Piketon will handle Grandview if they play a normal game.

[bookem13]

Whatever you say Jimmy...the last time I checked, a layup counts the same as any other two-pointer. NOW, I'll drop the subject!

[ligit ownage]

that was a great game props to unger and a lay up is 2 pts last i checked and what was up with 55 and 10 last night you two kids need to watch unger play and how he acts on the court have some class and keep your heads on during the game...... both 55 and 10 should have been ejected last night IMO

[sparky]

jimmy,
doesn't north adams usually play a lot of zone after they press?

[Out of Bounds]

Unger does carry himself very well. Does any of the locals know of any coaches that have been recruiting made him any offers? He is a great OFFENSIVE talent.

[jimmy chipwood]

jimmy,
doesn't north adams usually play a lot of zone after they press?

yes, I believe they do almost always play zone but I wouldnt call what they were playing a quarter court zone - it was more like a very weak, unorganized, half court trap with constant gambling and reaching. They literally came out 30 feet from the basket and double teamed the ball. I still dont know what kind of zone it was? Only thing for sure is that Unger was playing the point on it most of the time - chasing the ball from one side of the court to the other.

Why dont you eastern boys go back to your little eagles nest and wine a little more...does it matter where these boys went to grade school...Why cant you get on here a cheer on your county friends instead of be bitter because you guys cant make it to the convo.

Can't make it to the Convo? Are u serious? Come over to our "little Eagles Nest"and look at the banners.Then we will compare Piketon's with Eastern's.People like you are the reason people don't cheer on there "county friends".

Beaverlover,
Is that all you do is dwell on the past, i don't care what eastern has done in the past. Im focused on what Piketon can do this season. Does it matter where the players went to school in 5th grade, no it doesn't. It does matter where they graduate and make there friends. And why do you trash what ever Piketon accomplishes, this is why know one likes Eastern(and move away!!)
and every time you get on a Piketon thread you have to instigate...just stay to your Eastern threads!!!And the comment about your banners, let Piketon play in your weak league and little div.IV, and you Jump into the SVC, See how well you do then.

You might want to go back and read the posts again...I have never instigated anything! Some fans just can't handle someone picking against there team.

Congrats to the Streaks on a very impressive win and the best season in the history of there school.

[shljunkie]

Unger showed why he was D3 player of the year and the devils certainly had a great run.

[jottings]

Any update?
