Eastern Pike vs. Columbus Africentric - Regional Final

[SOCFAN1430]

Art- I don't care if you skip it, run it up the cart path or whatever. That's an incredible golf shot for anyone who's not a par golfer. I'll even count it if you go off the trees to the left side of the water

And David put his hand in the bag and took out a stone and slung it. And it struck the Philistine on the head and he fell to the ground. Amen.

I dont care win or lose these kids have done something this year that only 1 other eagle team has done . This group of boys were wrote off at the start of the season and look where they are an amazing season congrads eagles for what you have done this year

[Easterneagle]

Good luck tonight eagles! PLay hard! Were VERY PROUD of YOU!!

[Jesco White]

Best of luck Eagles!!!

I'm willing to bet that my 11yr old son (coach Fitch's nephew) could beat streetballer in a game to 10, while spotting him 5 to begin. Coach Fitch's son, an 8th Grader, could beat streetballer in a game to 10 while spotting him 9.

Streetballer, why don't you do us all a favor and hold your breath as tight as you can until next basketball season!!!!! It's a win-win, because nobody will miss your ignorance and you would definitely be rocking Manchester's school colors by opening night!!!!

SOCFAN1430: did it in a scramble a few years back. Somebody else had already laid up, so I "let the big dog eat"...some of our Valley brethren can attest to it if questioned!

As for the game, no pressure on Eastern so play loose and bring a Regional Championship back home to southeastern Ohio.*

Africentric will look to push the ball, play the transition game, play lots of bodies, pressure the ball handler for 32 minutes ... Eastern needs to stay focused, expect the Nubians to have a couple of runs out of their defense ... IF Eastern can remain "in the game" with solid fundamental defense, play strong with the ball - strong passes, anticipate the Nubians to jump the passes in the passing lanes, work the back door cuts AND be strong on the glass - did I leave anything out ??? LOL ... just remain calm, keep your heads when all others around you are losing theirs - life will be fine ... looking forward to manning my Cheap Seat local in Jim's Gym tonight ... napkins in hand! ... recap after the game tonight ...

Easy Rod.

[mglight88]

Nubians rotate 11 players..wow

[mglight88]

44-15 with 1:30 to play Nubians over Eagles

[mglight88]

It's halftime, rooting for ya Eagles but Africentric leads 44-18

[NewEra]

I take it EP just can't secure the ball? because I know they are not trying to run.

[TripleDouble]

Eagles are playing hard. Just don't have the depth and speed to keep up with them. Eagles have 2-3 players you may consider really good basketball where as Nubians 12 man could start on any team in southern Ohio. If this team doesn't win state I'll be shocked.

[mglight88]

Caught little bit of stats, Nubians use 14 players in the first half with 12 scoring, shot 50% from the floor with 5-9 three's and only turned the ball over 8. Eastern shot only 37% from the floor including 2-8 three's and had 15 turns.

theres the stat. Eagles needed single digits and to possess the ball in order to pull of this david vs. goliath once in a lifetime game.

[mglight88]

58-21 Nubians with 3:20 in the 3rd
