Defense creating offense. Their top 7 are true dogs defensively. No quit in them.
I think Mikey took 1 shot in the 1st quarter. Sharing the ball, getting it to open shooters, and defense, helps lead to good shooting performance.
One edge this years mountain team may have is that Mikey won't be intimidated by this level of talent down state. He spent the last few years playing with and against more talented players. Mike Sr. has helped coach against those teams as well. Another thing FH has going in its favor is that these kids have experience playing with the pressure that comes from playing for a state championship. Albeit a different sport, it gives them something to draw experience from. One other thing, Mikey has proven to be the most unselfish star player that I have seen in many years. Down state it may be in Fort Hills best interest for him to be a little more selfish at certain times in the game. Hopefully some of his past experience against leveled up talent will rub off and give his teammates a feeling of confidence and calmness. We shall see. Good luck to Big Red.
Booth was on the 93 Dunbar team. True story. My nephew plays JV basketball for Fallston. About a month ago a teammates father was telling my brother and I the story of Booth. Polley, and that Dunbar team beating his Fallston team 122-58 in the state semi-finals. 64 point loss. Correction. Wasn't Polley. It was Rodney Elliott, Booth, and Nolan.
Yes they did 90-62. That was Elliott, Nolan senior year. Polley was a soph.
Junior year. I'm pretty sure Polleys senior year was 95-96. Redshirt his first year FSU 1996.
FH has their hands full. This was a good team
FH had a great year. They won the games they needed to win. They bounced back very nicely after the Alco loss
