Run a box in 1....double team.

Switch defenders....find him on offense and run picks

ZERO ADJUSTMENTS....put him on the line...rotate players and sacrifice fouls...etc etc etc

great season by riordan... but that defense everyone talked about.. it hits different on a nba court.. those passing lanes are now much harder to cover. riordan dominated who they should have and left no doubt..
this was my first time seeing them, and honestly i thought the team make up would be different. i swear they were all africans.. but they got a few other boxes checked

My monday morning qb would be why didnt Curtin double Burries every time he touched it? And since he opted to play straight man, why not put your best 1v1 defender on him, Rencher? Im perplexed to why Emeneke kept coming out to guard the perimter and not just stand there in the key to make inside shots alot tougher. Time after time Roosevelt drew him out and left the middle open. Tell you what, if their big hits a 3, cool, you like those odds.

I've watched Riordan all season and they always played faster than their opponent. Yesterday was really incredible to see another team play way faster than them. Anyways it was probably already over before Hilman tapped out probably a contusion to his back or spinal nerve from that nasty fall he took, but it certainly didnt help without him the rest of the way.

Exactly...deer in the headlights coaching....even if Burries gets 25 you're in the game...going for 40 plus....he BURRIES beat the R

was one of your boxes checked that their bench players 9-15 were all the token white kids happy to be on the team? 😂

It showed that Riordan needed to be in contests where they were down and came back from double digits. I do know that from what has been reported they only play so many games allowed from CCS. That being the case they should play East Coast Teams and a schedule to match teams of SoCal. HS Wizard showed the team's leading up to the finals for Roosevelt, all talented at the level of Riordan. The Crusaders had a great season and lost to likely the nation's top team! At this point teams have to stay with what got you there and adjustments can be hard to synchronize. Riordan hat's off to your Northern California Open Championship! Enjoy that because it is a great achievement that only few teams have accomplished in Northern California!!
See you in 86 days!!!

Summer Basketball MC Tourney coming June 6th through the 8th.

Currently on paper they have a core of White, Hilman, Armstrong and Pihtovs coming back next year and the hope is Carter makes a leap into his sophomore year. Curtin probably already looking at other teams rosters to see who he can pilfer to stack his already good roster.

Enjoying the Northern California Championship is a win philosophy! The Game is over, and Riordan can reflect on it entirely and not appreciate the hard work it takes to make it to the Open, let alone to the Finals, let alone to win it in Northern California. Yes, they succumbed in the State Open Finals. How do you become stronger/ you learn from your mistakes and loses. Only 1 team wins.
Remember philosophy is the talk of the cereal box.

Another freshman, Jack Loevner, will on be varsity next year. He's a promising 6-4 PG. There's also Ernie Tofi who played Frosh A's. Another 2-sport basketball/football kid from the Tofi family.
