True Story: I once saw a 1A school straight up school a 5A school...I mean run them off the court...there was at least 4 dunks that deserved to be on sportscenter...It wasn't in this state but comparing the classes they are same...now granted that team had two future NBA players on it...and the team they were playing was especially terrible..

In that North-South quarter, North sat their starters for a good 5 minutes of that quarter, and the South subs played better than the starters did. They took out their starters against us and it was 8-8, then the subs rattled off 11 unanswered points to win 19-8, but our starters were also on the bench.
It was one of those things where coaches mix things up a bit to see who plays well with who...North split up the starters and when Gant was in the game south didn't do too much. After Gant came out, it open up the paint and South moved the ball much better opening up drive and dish opportunities that lead to several open threes. Anthony McGill got hot and so did a couple other players.
On a side note...Things got chippy between some North and South players in the jamboree....could bode for some interesting games later in the season if the emotions are high like they seemed to be last night.
Gant looks really good folks! He has put on 5-10 pounds of muscle since last year and looks to be in great shape. He runs the floor better than most bigs and has a nice shooting touch. He was playing very aggresive and made several outstanding moves in the paint....one in particular caught my eye. Gant had the ball and drove left baseline a defender tried to cut off the baseline path to the rim, but Gant quickly spun over his left shoulder, maintained ball control rose and went up and under to the opposite side for a sweet looking lay-up. It was a play you usually see from a guard, not a 6'9" post player.

He also dunked on South Vermillion in the first quarter, over 6'5" Harpeneau.
North has a chance to make a deep run this year. Gant is GOOD people. Big-time get for us.
South surprised me to the good. They're better than I thought, but with that schedule, its going to be a long year.
West Vigo was unimpressive. They'll win some games against weak competition, but wont compete with Sullivan in conference.
South Vermillion is horrible.

West Vigo, IMO was the 2nd best team in the jamboree.

That's quite a statement considering they got outscored 19-8 by Terre Haute South. Don't give me that crap about WV having subs in. They had 2 starters in at all times. Now I respect Boehler and WV might beat South later, buy last night the were 3rd best. Barely above south vermillion.

Bull crap, we are 2nd in the Wabash Valley, in the South quarter, here was our 2nd five; Lindsay. Wallace, Stewart, Corenflos, and Gilbert. We didn't have any starters in at that point in the quarter, and then we brought our starters back in for the last minute, and South didn't score at all. It's sad when your subs play better than your starters.
Wrong. West, Thornton, or Hauser was in the game at all times. Even if they weren't, south starters had 8, West Vigos had 8. That's a tie. South's second team outscored yours 11-0. WV 23 in 2 quarters. South had 36 and you got to play South Vermillion. Your also wrong about not scoring in last minute. South hit a 3 at quarter buzzer. WV was the 3rd best team there last night.
Since when does the points and play from the bench not count. It ought to show you that WV has 0 depth.

Your starters were pitiful, if we played a real game, we would have killed you last night. We have depth, we just have a lot of young players. Our 6'5" forward is only a sophomore and has never played a varsity game before. Thornton hardly played at all, he's still battling concussion symptoms.
Ok. We'll see. I'm a North grad by the way and I still think South looked better than you. You do realize that South had 3 guys with previous varsity experience don't you? Nobody on their bench had played a second of varsity basketball and they put in on you.
You need to realize that WV is not very good at sports and are not real respected statewide other than in baseball.

No, just undefeated 3 times in football, probably 100-13 in baseball the last 5 years, and 30-18 in basketball the last 3 years, we are not very good in sports.

It was our first action without Wampler, how else will you come besides nervous and sloppy?
How many basketball and football sectionals, regionals
...has WV won? Its one thing to beat up on a Clay City. Its entirely different to beat a Chatard in football or apparently an Edgewood in basketball.

Edgewood is a power in basketball, they almost beat Princeton that year they went to state, and we only lost to Edgewood by 9, and anybody you talk to that went to our sectional championship game with Edgewood, will tell you that th referees cost us that game, 17 personal fouls to Edgewood's 6. Your going to tell me that West Vigo fouled 11 more times than Edgewood, that's just crazy. And that same year, we came form 17 down to North and only lost by 4. North had, O'Leary, Gant, Anderson, Gauer, and Jones.
We know and understand this. Just having a discussion.
