LPD Championship

Any thought's on how tonight's game is going to play out? Is it going to be an intense game or are both teams satisfied with just being there, since they know they are in the regions?

It should be a pretty good game. Both coaches are very active to say the least and both want to bring home that trophy. I think since Kelly already has District Champion shirts that their fans wear it would be embarrassing to not be able to bring home the hardware. PV wants redemption for the last game and the fact that they could get it in the District title game just adds icing on the cake, so to speak. Should be a good game.

I think it should be a very good game and could go down to the buzzer.

Kelly is the better of the two teams and has a much deeper roster, but the "better" team doesn't always win the game. Between TJ and Zach, you have two very competitive coaches with big egos. I wouldn't expect either team to hold back because they've already made the regionals.

I think the edge goes to Kelly since they're 2-0 against the Vikings this year.

It is very hard to beat a good team 3x in a season. Kelly had best bring their A-game tonight

J.J. Kelly is the 2011 LPD Champions and the shirts do not say district tournament champ, so regardless of the game tonight they can wear those shirts proudly!

Any updates on the first game tonight?

That's what I was thinking.

Aaron Clark is one helluva basketball player. He deserves LPD POY, he is a monster.

But I was severly disappointed in the officiating, I thought they gave PV too many breaks before the half and absolutley NONE after it. Ive never seen a half where a teams big guys shoot ZERO free throws. ZERO.

Wise deserved to win, they played great and Clark is a great ballplayer. They are a very good team.

But they need to find other scorers quick. PV didnt have the depth or size to stop Clark, couldnt use Vernon because they didnt want him to pick up fouls. But a team like GC does have the depth and JJK will have to have other scorers to beat them

I told my buddy after seeing exactly what you did in the first half to wait and see if we didn't get the breaks in the 2nd. Inconsistent but it is what it is. As for the other scorers,the rest of the crew can put the ball in the bucket but we must remember that Powell Valley is a solid defensive club. If it does come down to JJK-GC it will be a doozy but there's some other folk who will have a say in that,so nothing is set in stone.
