Kickapoo vs Nixa

[Comeagle]

Predictions? I say Poo by 8-10 if Fontleroy plays. I think Poo can handle Nixa’s press and then Poo’s big girls finish.

Poo 66, Nixa 50 if Fontleroy plays. She played their last game or two so I expect that she plays

poo 62 Nixa 51 final

If the sisters wanted an upgrade in coaching, I’m not sure they got it.
The size of Kickapoo is somewhat of a factor, but I see a very disjointed, isolation-focused offense for Nixa that is not very effective. If they can’t turn you over, they’re going to struggle to score.

And not getting an upgrade from coaching after leaving Kickapoo is saying something

 

[AC100]

Kickapoo 49. Nixa 26. 3rd

 

[AC100]

Carthage played Kickapoo closer than this but I don't know who Kickapoo had available

 

[Razzy417]

Can I revise my prediction?

 

[AC100]

Kickapoo 58-32 3rd

Kickapoo had all their players playing in that game. Fontleroy had 18.

If it is possible to look bad and win by 23, Kickapoo accomplished it. In the second half their effort was not very good, gave up lots of offensive rebounds to Nixa, sloppy turnovers. A well coached team with some talent will beat them in the postseason. Poo should be a lock to make the Final 4, don’t know that they will.

Nixa was still scrapping and pressing at the end which I guess made Poo coach mad, so with 3 seconds left, poo up 23, he called a timeout and drew up a play to try and score at the end lol... no love lost between those teams

Yep, pressing someone's bench in a blowout is bush league. Take your whoopin and go home.

That's pretty much what happened. Nixa was still pressing hard to the very end (which I don't personally have a problem with since they were losing) so Poo kept most of the starters in. With 3 seconds left, Poo has the ball trying to let the clock run out and one Nixa player kept harassing the girl with the ball, trying to steal it. That's when Poo coach called the time out to draw up a play where their big would score down low on the same Nixa girl.

Nixa presses teams even when they are winning by 40-50 points and the other team has put in their end of bench subs. That kind of stuff tends to catch up with teams who do it, one way or the other.
