Waverly vs Valley

[.RadChad.]

Thoughts?

[sportsfan_1959]

Will Martin and/or Kretzer be playing?

[.RadChad.]

I believe Martin will be out, but not sure about Jake.

[pfloyd]

... how many games has either Kretzer and/or Martin missed? injuries or illness?

[mowcat]

Any idea on the starters?

[ZacBrownBand]

It was a great game last time these two went at it, hopefully we can see the same again

[G&B from huddle]

Waverly played with Oak Hill for almost three quarters without Martin or Kretzer, so anybody who is going to give Valley the win b/c the Tigers might be missing one or two shouldn't kid themselves.
Both have missed one game (at Oak Hill) one was injured last week and one was sick. So we may have one back but I don't think both will be back at full health until season finale or maybe sectionals, but I'm not 100% sure about that.
Tigers at home not at full strength? I don't know. It will be another dog fight.

Waverly out of school but since Valley is the traveling team they wanted to play. I'm sure Waverly didn't with Martin out and Kretzer not at 100%.

I don't think the "behind the scenes" crew for Da tigers get enough credit. Overall it's a team effort. I think Martin and Kretzer would be the first to tell you that. They've got 2 of the best players around but two people don't make a team. All of those boys put in time and effort to make that team what it is. Regardless of the status of Kretzer and Martin, it will be a fight.

Waverly looked like they finally pulled it together tonight without Martin and Kretzer at 100%. It looks like they are more of a team then people think they are. It shows a lot to come through those circumstances and pull out a W.
