Class 2 Champ is... .. .
- Thread starter DOGFATHER1
- Start date
Not trying to diminish what the other teams have done, but have they played near the competition that Skyline has?
Skyline played Strafford to one of their closest games this season... don't remember the exact score but it was less than 20. Their only other loss came to Class 5 Lebanon who recently won their district... that was a single digit loss. And their win against Branson is looking more impressive after Branson knocked off defending Class 5 state champs Kickapoo in their district final.
For a Class 2 team, they've played a pretty good schedule and still have a fantastic record.

Adrian's only loss is to Skyline... by half a hundo... that said... Adrian was missing a starter that game... but yeah... this is Skyline's title to lose.
The only thing more surprising than Skyline not winning the class 2 title would be Strafford not winning the class 3 title. Class 4 and 5 seem to have a lot of parity, so no telling there. I can't really speak to class 1, haven't seen hardly any of those teams play or talk to anyone that has seen them. The easy thing to say is Walnut Grove though.
who was out for Adrian? They have some great talent offensively. If they can get hot from outside, keep their turnovers to a minimum against Skylines press they could find themselves in it at the end! I will be rooting for them to make it a game for sure.
A lot of people get caught up in Skyline's pressure defense, which is super impressive. But you better be ready to rebound against those girls. They hit the offensive glass like crazy. I'd be interested to see how many of their points come from second chances.
I believe in the first meeting they were missing their low post player. Adrian still has to get past Oran before they can even think about Skyline.
.......AND Skyline has to get by Scotland County before they can think about Adrian OR Oran.........C =|~Scotland county didn't fair to well against that pressure...27 turnovers. That said good season for em
skyline line was as good as advertised.
Scotland had a heckuva a squad as well....
Here's a quote from opposing player after game
“I’ve never seen or played against anything like that (press),” Feeney said. “I have huge respect for that team and the way their defense works. I’ve never played against anything like that. It’s the hardest thing, I’d have to say, I’ve ever done in my career – trying to bring the ball up the court against that press.” from an ozone Interview......I look forward to another day if great ball tomorrow
