#5 Waverly vs #4 Greenfield McClain 2/22

[smurray]

I know the names of the songs ... just trying to lighten it up a little.

Survivor has the Rocky 3 thing going for it. Old School.

Katy Perry has The Left Shark and that great College Gameday Segment at Ole Miss going for her — I thought Ole Lee Corso might need a defibrillator — She’s definitely New School or Out of School.

I think of McClain and their grind it out style as Survivor and that’s how I ultimately came to my decision on the picks section.

Waverly has something going for them though. They have a swagger — you don’t beat Waverly — they don’t accept it — they always just missed too many FTs or couldn’t hit shots. There’s something to be said for that semi craziness... makes them dangerous. We listened to Waverly Radio after The Burg Loss late in the year and not one time did anyone say — not one time! Wheelersburg just flat beat us.... it was — well if we made a few more layups or converted that series early in the game... and I’m thinking — they are all crazy!

Crazy like a fox perhaps?

You talking about the first game at Wheelersburg when it was a 3 point game with 4:00 to play or the home game when Waverly was never in it? I never have a chance to listen to the radio so I cant say what they said after either one but Waverly didn’t play well round 2 but maybe give credit to Wheelersburg controlling every aspect of the game. They were a much different team round 2 as they were the first time Waverly faced them. They are 22-0 for a reason..........

smurray. This was the second game.

My wife and I looked at each other and didn’t know what to say. And there were interviews.

I’m not meaning anything negative. Truly. You guys have a different groupthink. And it makes you very dangerous.

And when you don’t play well it’s ... we just didn’t play well. The other team usually has a great deal to do with that.

It's going to be fun tonight. Tigers vs Tigers. Family vs Family (Mine). Good times to be had, we will see which member gets bragging rights...lol. Go Waverly Tigers!!

McClain Tigers started year ranked 67 out of 72 in the preseason poll. Turned in a 15-7 year. New coach who knows what he is doing. Same team as last year. These kids are thirsty. It will be a great game. Purple Tiger nation is back. McClain will win by 4. Will be a great atmosphere.

Seems like McClain isn’t getting much respect

Also helps that Mischal is playing this year too and not hurt like last year. Nonetheless good luck to them.
