Semis picks

[BriggsBeall]

I gave my pick for Smyrna on another thread. I think Sanford will have problems matching up with Smyrna's guards and the team's experience.

I saw the regular season game with St E and Caravel. Caravel put on a clinic and ran the Vikings out of their own gym. Parker had 34 very reminiscent of the Penn game in the quarters.

I don't see this repeated tonight. St E looked pretty good against Glasgow. Nate Thomas might be the most underrated player in the state.

This will be much more competitive. But I still like Caravel by 8 setting up a rematch of last years final.

Biggest difference in the Smyrna Sanford game will be outside shooting....I give Smyrna the edge.... other than that they match up well

 

[GateKeeperRefugee]

Caravel and Sanford.

[Hoopsdownstate2]

I watched Sanford play Smryna last year... Davis will be the difference ... He will do whatever he wants... Sanford by 7..

25-17 Sanford at the half. Sloppy game & Smyrna is 5-31 from the field, 1-16 from 3. Njoku has 11 pts, Davis has 10.

[Hoopsdownstate2]

Told you Sanford by 7... 3 peat coming... Sad but true..

 

[spartakos]

Hoops may know something!!

 

[84rider]

Smyrna will pull it out in the second half, too many veterans, they will come out in the second half and win this game by 8-10 pts

 

[Hoopsdownstate2]

Hoops may know something!!

If Smyrna dont come back and win this game. Sanford will win 3 years straight.. They will be like Golden State next 2 years.. Everybody playing for second the whole year.. Iam just seeing reality..

 

[bluecat4ever]

Sanford, for me, is far and away the best team in the state right now...and for the next 2 years.

 

[Hoopsdownstate2]

Smryna 35- Sanford 31.. End of 3

 

[MightyMik]

No love for the StE upset. Might be hottest team in state.

 

[MightyMik]

Smyrna vs StE championship

Good old Stan the man needs more recruits. He blows another one. Guy has all the talent in the world and still chokes.

You are right. Stan/Sanford has the best team in the state but they can’t win.

 

[crazaj]

You are right. Stan/Sanford has the best team in the state but they can’t win.

yall keep busting on Stan cause they don't win, but reality is were they are when they finish their careers, which are usually on top, Stan prepares his young boys for life, not just winning state titles and that's what makes him a great coach and is the reason he is on the national scene

@Hoopsdownstate2 What did you tell me?

Stan doesn’t prepare them. The school that cost 30K prepares them in every way. Stan just dress nice and plays the role. Stan does a below average job coaching. Just because he sat on the USA bench this past summer means nothing. The USA picks the best players from one of the most dominant basketball countries in the world. It’s the same thing he has at Sanford where he picks and chooses the talent but still lose and dopes like you try to still give him credit. Stop it!! Below average coach with well above average talent year in and year out.

 

[8yaz]

Caravel: Earl-12, Sengphachanh-6, Keister-2, Montgomery-2, Nasuti-6, Parker-13
St E's: J.Brown-15, Jones-7, Thomas-15, Money-4, Dickerson-11, N.Brown-6

Sanford: Perkins-7, S.Williams-2, Harris-2, Davis-19, Njoku-15
Smyrna: Sylvester-3, Bloodsworth-4, Garnett-12, Matthews-18, Wilson-6, VeasleyJohnson-4

 

[Uncle Bumfuzzled]

How many starters does Sanford bring back?

If he was so great, he wouldn't still be coaching HS basketball in Delaware

@Filmore00, come on man, Stan is starting 3 freshman and a sophomore, stop the hating and give credit where credit is due. The only reason I felt Smyrna would win this game is the veterans they have in that line up. Those couple of years difference means a lot. Bloodsworth and Matthews are battle tested. The couple of years difference also means a lot when you’re talking body strength and mental toughness. All of this should be obvious imo.

 

[84rider]

You also said the same thing on the girls bb forum about Noonan...game respect game.

Sanford starts a Senior, 3 sophomores, & 1 freshman. The sophomores are in there 3rd year of high school ball- playing since 8th grade.

 

[84rider]

All 5 starters should be back excluding Williams, heck there’s only 3 seniors on the team and none were key components

 

[8yaz]

@Filmore00, Bloodsworth and Matthews are battle tested.

Bloodsworth shot about 2 for 20

 

[Filmore00]

Not sure what game respect game is but these guys hand pick there talent year after year. They should win it 50% of the time at least.

Their guards were pretty bad tonight

Exactly what I said 3 sophomores and 1 freshman.
