Here's a look at this weeks games......
McDevitt vs Cumberland Valley - For some reason CV hasn't been able to get it together over the years.... They have a lot of talent but it's not producing wins..... McDevitt is coming off of a two game winning streak and need this win in a big way... Expect the role players (Jordan Brooks, Milik Gantz, Jaquan Johnson, and Donte Vaughn) to really have impacts on this game as CV will focus on stopping 1000 point scorer Aaron Devan (23 ppg) . David Craig will be a load for MCD to handle inside but can the guards get him the ball where he needs it??? McDevitt by 5 in a tough one.....
Susquehanna vs Green Castle - This is a game of who can win the coaching battle as Coach Martin will use his wheel offense to exploit his size advantage over Susquehanna.... Hanna will need a big game from Shoop Shepard on offense and defense if they want to have a chance to win but with pg Gabe Mack out, who can run the show for Hanna??? Too many question marks, Too much Coach Martin, Green Castle by 7 points....
CD East vs Cedar Cliff - This is a rough week for CD East as they play some of the areas top teams... On paper, the match ups are in the favor of Cedar Cliff as they'll most likely use a solid 1-3-1 zone with Christo Majok up top to bother East with his length... Cedar Cliff's Logan Stumpf (Gardner Webb signee) has been on fire lately and I expect him to keep it up in this fast paced game. If CD East's pg Eddie Cowan can control the tempo of this game, East can have a chance... If not, it could get ugly fast because CC has too many solid horses and are coached very well... First 3 quarters will be close, 4th quarter, Cedar Cliff takes over and wins by 13 points....
CD East vs CD - This game will be jammed packed early as these two sister schools will do their tradition double header of girls play at 6pm and boys at 7:30pm.... CD will use a lot of strategy to get Devin Thomas into the game early and often.... East starts a very small team so expect CD to exploit the mis match inside until East can figure out a way to stop it.... CD East's Reggie Dudley (19ppg) will be a man on a mission but CD will be all over him so someone else will have to step up... That someone will be Tony McCraw... East thrives off of turn overs but veteran guard Nick Seefelt really takes good care of the basketball so it can be tough for East...... CD by 19 points as Thomas goes for 25 points and 15 rebs
Steelton vs Harrisburg - Too much MacIntyre as Harrisburg will pressure Steelton into turnover after turnover.... Steelton will play well in the first half but inexperience will set in after halftime and the Cougars will keep the lead going up and up... Harrisburg ends up with a 23 point win as Harrisburg plays 12 guys all game...
Harrisburg vs CD - This is the game everyone is waiting for... This game determines who's the top team in the area right now... CD has been winning games but haven't played their best yet... Harrisburg has been scoring lots of points but Haiisheen MacIntyre can't do it all by himself... Steven Stoney and Jerel Patterson has to begin to be more consistent in order for Harrisburg to win... Devin Thomas will be a difficult matchup and Ryan Beaver is a lights out shooter... If Nick Seefelt can handle the pressure, CD can walk out with a nice win... CD edges Harrisburg by 5 because of the referees in my opinion... Refs won't let the players play as this will be a free throw shooting game all game... Be ready to record your favorite shows after 9pm...
Emmanuel Baptist vs Red Lion Christian - EBCA had a really good week of work outs and should be ready for the game.... Red Lion always has a nice team and are full of juniors and seniors.... EBCA will need Nehemiah "Bud" Mack to have a huge game and also Tyrece Little has been playing well as of late coming off the bench.... If those two guys can combine for 40 or more points, expect EBCA to win by 10 points...

Stick to predicting middle school games. You are way off when it comes to predicting HS games. Maybe w/l not points.
ReplyDeleteIf you read it correctly EBCA is a high school game... Pay attention!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I don't mind being off with the points... I'm having fun and maybe some kids take it personal and play harder.... There have been some very good games.
