Girls' Hoops Thread '24-'25

Let's get some action going over here!

Practice starts in a little over two weeks and there are some changes to note in what should be an ultra competitive year at the top.

Of course, the Banks and Brown connection was fun while it lasted, but Ursuline has a couple of transfers coming in that should provide a spark.

St. E gets Skylar Bolden from Ursuline and Padua gets Sophia Baffone from St. Mark's. Ursuline, Caravel and Sanford are the immediate top three that come to mind, but St. E can't be discounted and Padua returns a LOT of a very good team along with Baffone joining the team, so that's a pretty easy top 5.

After that, you have A.I., Howard, Cape, Smyrna, DMA and a wide-open conference race in Flight A and the Henlopen South.

Should be a fun year ahead.

DELHS CP WEEK 8

Haven't seen some of your classic big game breakdowns on here all season. As a person who doesn't get around to the games as much as I used to, I always enjoyed reading your analysis. What do you think about the big matchup between Sallies vs your beloved Cavs?
Yeah, the breakdowns were something I enjoyed doing. I tried bringing them back one year and just couldn’t keep up with it. I started them back when I was in high school and then it carried to college. Once I finished college I just didn’t have time.

As regard to tonight’s game, it’s hard to say. Sallies has been steam rolling oppositions since last season and they bring a great nucleus back from that team with some added talent. Their defense is playing so lights out it reminds me of the 2021 Cavs dlineman with Durojaye, Miller-Harris and Derek Burke. Those 3 were able to rush the passer every game and would always get home. Sallies Johnson and mcneil are a force and beat their 1 on 1s fairly easily. Linebacker LJ smith is in my mind probably the best line backer in the state of Delaware. I think the sals offense is a bit underrated because so much focus is on the defense. McBride, Lego, Gaymon are 3 top tier talents. McBride has made HUGE strides since last season after being benched in both Middletown games.

Middletown however, starting a first year starter at QB who I believe sometimes tries to do too much with his legs when he just needs to get rid of the ball. A habit that most high school quarterbacks have. The 3 headed backfield in Glover, Walker, and Miller are in my head the best backfield in the state of Delaware so it will be strength against strength with them going against the sals front 7. The wide receiver units are top 3 in the state with Garrett, Parker, and Pope so it will be interesting how they compete with sallies secondary. The cavs defense is good but it’s had it flaws. The central game showed that and exposed it.

My heart wants to pick the Cavs but the Sals are just too good. Until I see someone score on the sallies defense it’s hard to pick against them. I could see an upset, however I won’t pick one. If you asked me personally I think it comes to what coach out coaches the other in the scheme of things.
