Monroe Central 24-25

Don't overlook Malvern. That coach Tucci is one of the best in the state.
Those Hiland boys will be hard to beat.

Noles lose to Wheeling Central tonight. If they can’t beat WC there’s 0% chance of even hanging within 20 points of Hiland. Personally I doubt they beat Crooksville

Monroe Central would be +28 over Crooksville in Vegas.

I agree, Malvern and Monroe Central should be a great game, but I don't see either of them being able to beat Hiland.

Would the hypothetical Malvern and Monroe Central game be played at a neutral site?

It'll be a neutral site, but they haven't announced where at yet.

Despite my negative post I still do believe in the Noles. Good luck tomorrow night against Crooksville

Noles cover Vegas' +28 spread and take it 73-33. Slow start but turned it on after being down 16-15 I believe and dominated the rest of the way. Crooksville hit several shots early and #12 had a great game. They had a couple boys get in foul trouble, most notably their big man who seemed to do a little of everything. Tucker Howell had a very nice game, lots of uncharacteristic missed layups by a few different players though. Shot well from 3 and had well rounded production. Not the caliber game that is going to take down Hiland, but not their best either. Malvern won 60-41 over Ft Frye I believe, so we will get to see the MC Malvern match up as expected. Cambridge/Meadowbrook seem to be logical locations as each are near an hour from each school and easy drives.

You described the game perfectly. I didn’t think MC played particularly well. Crooksville just didn’t have good ball handlers and gave up a lot of turnovers that allowed MC to pull away. Crooksville played decent in the first quarter and a half.

MC started hitting 3’s in the second half. Their free throwing percentage had to be horrendous or they would have won by over 50.
