Great quotes from my fraternity brother. ‘06.
Thank you for sharing those inspiring words,…+5
A dream can become a reality,…sports is only one vessel
Yes I did. Though it would be the start to a good lead if he played. "Blair almost missed the DLS game with a shoulder injury before he came charging out of the locker room" LOL
I thought MC made a game of it just when it seemed like they were about to lose big. Gavin played great, but St. Joseph's began playing physical defense on him that appeared to ware him down. MC got back in the game running sets and moving the ball, but once they were back they went back to iso 1 on 1 basketball allowing St. Joseph's to focus on stopping 1 player. Ball game.
I caught most of the SJ - MC game - SJ very good team - really impressed with Julius Price super solid PG and Tounde's athleticism is off the charts and they have solid role players. I can see them going far in the NorCal Open. MC had a great 16-0 run in the fourth quarter but ran out of gas late. Gavin Sykes super impressive quick explosive leaper and Miles Jones really solid. Need more help from their role players to compete at these levels IMHO.
DLS game was a snooze-fest given that Blair didn't play - DLS didn't show me much although SS is HUGE and possibly DLS should have pressed them although SS's PG was super quick so that might have ended badly.....
Salesian was Salesian although I wonder if they have the size to compete with the best teams in the state. I said that last year as well and they ended up giving H-W all they wanted in the state title game and I think they might be marginally better this year.
Lastly - I saw the Curtin brothers there scouting the games - preparing for the inevitable NorCal Open games against St Joseph / MC / Salesian and even DLS if Blair is able to almost singlehandedly will them into the Open.
