No problems Saturday night at our Hoopla! event here at Canterbury. We had a full house on hand to witness an 85-25 thumping of Lakewood Park. On its face, one might conclude that we were merciless. However, all 12 rostered players played at least nine minutes each and no one more than 17 minutes - just over half the game. 10 of our 12 scored and we had four in double figures. Thankfully, this is our last game against a 1A opponent until the tournament begins.
Central Noble comes to town tonight. They always seem to give us a tough time. Last year, they held a small lead at halftime, but we came out with some full-court pressure and blitzed them in the second half. They are having another good year, with 10 wins already and an overtime loss last week to Fremont, who went on to win the NECC Tournament. It will be a battle of styles; they like to keep the score in the 40s and we want to be in the 40s by halftime. We'll see who can exert their will on the other.
Unrelated, but the biggest game in the world will be played tonight. #1 Vincennes Rivet vs. #2 Barr-Reeve. Some have written that this game will be for the supremacy of Class 1A. I'm sure it will be an excellent game with ramifications for the tournament beginning next month. If we weren't playing tonight, I would be tempted to make the drive to see the amazing level of basketball on display tonight.
Instead, I'll be stuck here with my crummy team ;)
