Newark Chances

[Lazertron]

Looking for some honest opinions about the 'Jackets. After win over AI last night, team is 11-2 with a rough schedule remaining. What are the chances for a strong finish and a deep run in March?

If the rumors about kineph turner being out are true then it just got a lot harder to make a big run.

Report card week, depends on who loses what, losing a solid contributor to any team this year could spell the end

I see Newark beating Glasgow and Appo.

How they do against Mt Pleasant depends on if they can limit Mounts offensive rebounds. Like most teams Newark doesn't have much inside. That's Mounts big advantage I've seen.

They should get a bye in the tournament.

Kwa'dree turner may be playing once report cards come out and from what I've seen of him he could be one of the best guards in the state

Did he play summer league ?

Major pickup if the younger Turner brother joins the team

Although I think the championship is more wide open this year than it's been in a long time, Newark's size is going to make it tough for them to win it all. Not saying it's not possible, but they would need a break in where they land in the bracket, and a little luck.

Yes

They need a big man.. Not another guard..

Is this other Turner the kid that played for Moyer Academy two years ago? If so, I saw him put up 32 against Newark that year. I think he was an 8th grader. Where has he been since then?

Kwadree was academically ineligible when the season started so I don't believe he can play

If your grades are up when report cards come out midseason making you eligible academically then I was under the impression that your are able to play.

I know it doesn't matter to coaches nor kwadree but it would not be fair at all to anybody on that bench that kept their grades straight all year to lose a spot to a kid that couldn't even tryout because of his grades

This has been the rule for at least 25 years and I believe forever. Nobody loses their spot Newark only has at the most 12 kids on varsity, I've seen teams with at least 15. Further more if a kid gets their grades right they deserve to play! Now minutes are earned in competitive sports, if a kid plays over another that's been sitting on the bench all year maybe that player needs to work harder on his game. This is pretty much common sense, if someone don't like that maybe go help the kid on the bench get better. Just my thoughts
