Girls: I was impressed with the "team" concept of this squad. Having 2 6'2 freshmen,what can you say but things are only going to get better. I think this squad is better defensively than last year's (I know some will disagree considering what we lost). I KNOW this squad is much more physical than last year's squad. I thought that RC played well-especially shooting well,which kept them in the game. I think the Lady Eagles are going to make some noise this year. I am not sold on the #3 pick in the LPD. I'll tell you another thing: NOBODY is going to outrebound the Lady Indians [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img] We have to cut down on the turnovers,but this is game 1,and that is to be expected.

As for the boys? Very surprised that the football legs became basketball legs so quickly.I fully expected to see a 45-40 game. Rare it is to see 49 scored at the half in LPDland. It seems we lost some intensity in the 3rd,but that happens with that big a margin. I honestly don't see us finishing 4th in the LPD. RC was simply overwhelmed tonight,but in their defense,the Eagles looked young (722 help me on this?). We are aware that there's a big difference between non-distric play and distric play though. If JJK plays like they did tonight,we'll be fine.

Refs? Hey PVFAN-get that sig down ...NOW. Geez-pitiful. I used to blow a gasket,but figured that I'd die of a massive heart attack,so now I just laugh and accept it as part of the game-SWVA basketball. When you see Robin barking at a ref over a 5ft push not called,you know it is bad.
