11/27/21 Notre Dame 45 South Webster 68 FINAL

[The Ghost of Swanker]

Too early for the first game thread of the season? Can’t wait to get back in the gym.

Possible regional matchup here in February depending on how things go on our end

Whose got the input

[Space Between]

I'll go with SW since they're at home by 4

[80sballer]

My gut says SW by 6-12 at home. I think as the year goes on ND will continue to get better and learn how to win games would be a great regional tournament game in March.

Reminds me somewhat of Webster/New Boston opening game matchup a few years back (2018-19 season if I remember right). Webster won the opening game, but New Boston ended up later beating them in District Championship in another great game. ND's size advantage (Sparks, Metzler, Edgington, etc.) will cause Webster fits on the boards, but Webster will have the edge on the perimeter shooting-wise. Pace of game will decide this one...if ND can slow it down and make it a physical, half-court game, they can win. Can easily see this being a rematch at District/Regional level come March*

I know they just played East at the previews but we saw something from the Jeeps we haven’t in a long time and that was the run out game down the floor. Rebound -> turn and fire down court to someone breaking away. Jeeps getting some much needed size on the floor to compliment Collins and Carpenter with Roberts who I reckon is 6’5ish right meow. I like Webster at home by 14

Who did ND add? New Boston kid and a Valley kid?

Who did ND add? New Boston kid and a Valley kid?

ironman92: From what I've heard, ND added a kid from Valley and one from Greenup County. The other rumored transfers didn't happen, and the spring transfer from Portsmouth went back to Portsmouth. Still looks like a solid D4 team with an 8-9 man rotation mixed with size and athleticism.*

Who did ND add? New Boston kid and a Valley kid?

Metzler from Valley, sophomore big kid. 6'2"ish

A guard from Greenup County. Not sure of name or if he started at Greenup.

Bryant from Portsmouth was there this summer but then transferred back to Portsmouth.


Notre Dame has plenty of size but South Webster has the advantage in guard play. This is a big game for both teams out of the game. Both should be top 5 D4 teams in SE Ohio.

[Ironman92]

Thanks….just trying to keep up

[The Ghost of Swanker]

Metzer done goofed

[Ironman92]

Metzer done goofed

Go on…

[The Ghost of Swanker]

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say Valley is way better than ND. Maybe he didn’t like to run for 32 minutes straight lol

[Irish]

Notre Dame will give Webster all they want and then some. If it’s a close game, advantage goes to Notre Dame. Webster will get out-coached.

They absolutely will give Webster all they want.

[The Ghost of Swanker]

What if Webster wants more than what Notre Dame can give

[Irish]

Swanky, you may want to sit on the bench for this one; he will need all the help he can get.

[The Ghost of Swanker]

Please I’d bully these kids on the court so bad they’d be straight into the counselors office the next day or the confession box or whatever they have at the Dame. I’ll suit up but I’m only chucking half court shots and oops to Showtime Roberts.

Thought you just kept the scoreboard updated when you were in school?

[The Ghost of Swanker]

I worked jr high games and high school volleyball for a
Few years lol

I actually did get in shape after high school and played a lot of rec ball in the military and such. I know it doesn’t count though
