If Lynch starts to heat up, as he does a lot, if he hits his first two threes, you better change your defensive gameplan, because hes not going to miss very many shots from out there, but if he misses his first two, let him shoot until he makes one or two, Lynch is a streak shooter and if he misses a few he seems to get down on himself and then has a bad shooting game, if he is hitting in the first quarter that will force alexander to go man to man or box and one and if they go man to man that will really open the game up for tate penetration and dish and the post game, if they got box and one, tate, waderker, and logue have to penetrate the gaps and dish or pull up for a jump shot. Lynch has been doing a lot better of not forcing up his threes, i think Belpre will be just fine without Pfalzgraf in the middle. Lynch, Tate and Sims, KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AND PLAY BASKETBALL LIKE YOU CAN!!!! the rest of the team, kepp playing hard like you have been and you guys will be fine, wins will come. I will take Belpre by 7

Prodigy could not agree with you more. If Lynch's team mates can get
him the ball against the zone he will knock down the three and that will
open up the game for everyone else.

prodigy drilled it...Lynch hit 2 of his 1st 3 shots...and didnt slow down one bit. Not sure how many he had total, I think I heard Tolar tell him he ended up with 6 3's. Belpre played their best offensive game of the year IMO...a bit lazy at times on D though...going to have to change that if they want to have a prayer at winning at Vinton (and at Alex for that matter) to share the TVC. Loyland and Tate had solid games, and i thought Tyler Watkins played his best game of the year so far. Sims seems like his confidence is down...needs to keep his head up because that kid can flat out play!

Nice win overall for the Eagles and should help their confidence from here on out.

I said earlier that Belpre will be better with out the big kid. The shooters will get more shots and they will be able to get up and down the floor without the big kid slowing them down,

Belpre played a more even game against the Spartans then they have all year. But, there is still a lot of room to improve.

Belpre needs to learn to milk the clock in late game situations when they have the lead instead of pushing the ball up the court and taking a shot after 1 or 2 passes. Belpre was in the bonus with 4 minutes left in the game and should have been passing the ball more while looking for a cutter to take the ball to the hole and get a trip to the free throw line.

Alot of work still to do on the defensive side of the ball. But, the team is improving and that is what you want as the year continues. Tourney time is when you want to be at your peak as a team. Keep up the hard work Golden Eagles - it is paying off.

Belpre played the best, as a team, that they have all season. Full team effort in the victory, 4-1 in TVC, now in second place. GO EAGLES!!!!
