Salesian v. Durango

[kiddman32]

Crush in the valley continues…. My keyboard is back in the car, so minimal updates.

Earlier, Bishop O’Dowd smacked Sacramento 73-50.

Also, Denver Prep beat Our Savior Lutheran and its roster full of FIVE guys over 6’ 9” by about 8-ish.

13-2 Durango, 1:40 left in the 1st.


I believe the Pride’s junior star Tyler Harris is on the bench in street gear. A bit too far away to get a 100% ID on him.

 

[kiddman32]

16-2 at the quarter.

 

[kiddman32]

Yipe, 36-10 at the half, Durango in charge

Just found out that Tyler Harris sprained an ankle in Salesian’s last game.

Salesian is fighting back…. It’s 38-19 now, 3:13leftin the 3rd. Now 38-22…

Biggest problem for the Pride: Their normally devastating pressure full court seems to beno factor at all.

 

[kiddman32]

46-27 after 3.

Adamu Reed of Salesian just stole around halfcourt, zipped downcourt withit and. THREW DOWN in two guys’ faces!!

Crowd went wild….

 

[kiddman32]

But Salesian is still down 18.

 

[kiddman32]

That’s Ajamu above with the jam…. silly thing won’t let me edit that one post.

 

[kiddman32]

61-43 final.

 

[kiddman32]

Prolific and AZ Compass are battling now…. After one half of truly incredible high-flying basketball, Compass leads 24-23. LOTS of “not normal” plays!

 

[kiddman32]

Prolific built a 63-57 lead in the last minute, bu AZ was NOT done… Scored a bucket, immediately stole the inbounds and scored again! And then stole it AGAIN!! They took it in, and Prolific’s Pope stole and was fouled…. Sank both FT’s. 4-point lead with seconds to go…. and they FOULED the 3-point shooter! He made2 of 3 FT’s…. 4 seconds left…. STEAL!!! Desperation 3 forthe win…. NO!


Prolific wins a truly crazy one, 65-63.

Salesian was missing 2 starters and leading scorers in Austin Johnson and Tyler Harris.

They were apparently healthy at Gridley, but lost to Riordan & Dublin by double figures, and only came away with a win against the host team in the 7th place game. Maybe they’ll gel in the playoffs and have a deep run since they won’t be in the Open, but it’s been a tough year for them thus far. Winning doesn’t seem to be a priority.

Interesting comment on your perception of the team's priorities. My perception is the team doesn't make excuses, plays as tough a schedule (no cupcakes) as any team in NorCal, and never quits. If they don't play in the open, they will give 100% in whichever division they play. Salesian will do just fine wherever they play and in whatever division.

Let’s hope that is the case. They’ve got a wonderfully talented squad.
