1A Boys Basketball Playoffs

We tend to overlook teams not from this area a lot and when it comes to Crisfield... not only do they have a strong team this year... they do have 8 state titles in basketball in their history. Some people will look at the fact they hung a 100 on their first two opponents in the playoffs and that will jump out at them. Southern should be able to set the tempo. The question will be at what tempo do the Rams want to play at. They have played a slow half court one and a fast paced transition one this season already.

To answer your question... Southern is on a 19 or 20 game winning streak. The only two losses they have this year are to private schools. Crisfield knows, as does Southern, who they will be getting in the State Semi's.

I'll be very surprised if Southern can hang with Crisfield. No matter how good a local team looks when they get to the final four it's just not the same as competing in the west.

Those schools that come out of the Eastern Shore are always a little bit suspect. I think Southern gets a win without too much trouble, but the real championship game will be the Lake Clifton vs Douglass (PG). Whoever wins that semifinal will win the title.

Me thinks Douglass PG is going to give them a run at it though. I have seen neither team on that side of the bracket. But based on what I have read and score comparisons the winner of this one is likely a heavy favorite.
