Indians go on the road and beats state ranked knights 58-52. Big night for cam VANLEER getting 20 and 7 boards. Beautiful new facility in Farmington - impressive.

Good game Pacific Indians. As I said, The Pacific Indians appear to be angry, Feeling hurt and down right embarrassed about their performance against Sullivan last week. I could see a big change in the Indians game against Rolla last Friday evening. The Indians were angry in the Rolla game. Sometimes it takes a poor performance like the Sullivan game to get back on track. Defeating Rolla and Farmington is a step in the right direction for the Indians.

I attended the St. Mary's @ Borgia tonight. Borgia was up 22-5 @ the end of the first quarter but St. Mary's climbed back it in the second quarter and played even in the third and the Dragons made a run in the 4th quarter to win by 8 points.

If Borgia plays like they did against St. Mary's, The Knights have a good chance to defeat Parkway West who are not playing their best basketball a few days before the class 4 districts 6 @ St. Clair next week. I'm a little confused on who has the best odds to win class 4 districts 6.

Thumb, I'm not picking Farmington to win class 4 district 2 next week. I'm going with Hillsboro to get it done. I believe they are playing well @ the right time.

Haven't seen Hillsboro but Farmington is a handful. One of very few high school teams who pound the ball inside and go to work. I know Hillsboro has a very good 6'9 kid so it will be a barn burner if they match up.

The Indians will need a monster effort to have a chance in districts. But u can't say they aren't battle tested. 17-8 w a lot of challenges on the schedule. Agree it's tough to predict this one and it should be fun. But until someone takes down Borgia in a district game they are for sure one of favorites to get hardware.
 
Two very impressive wins by Pacific this week. Rolla and Farmington were very good teams when I saw them this season. WOW ! I'm curious as to what primary defenses were used by Rolla and Farmington against Pacific this week.

Study, I'm not sure what happen in Farmington last night but Rolla failed in the defenses they tried. The Indians was using the ' Home Run " against M/M full court pressure. ( Must have got 4-5 easy one on the fly. ) Sullivan caused all of the regrouping by the Pacific Indians. The Indians are playing well and capable.

I see Borgia as a major threat in class 4 district 6. The Knights are a big-big team that can cause problems if they have their " Game Face. " Parkway West got a bad draw in district 6 and they are not playing up to their ability.
 
Both Borgia and Pacific looked pretty average in the games I saw against Sullivan. Sullivan used "gadget" defenses on both occasions. Now that both Borgia and Pacific are really playing well, this district is really interesting.
metro, any real chance of first round upsets?

I would bet against St. Clair and Union getting an upset ( Play in game ) but in the semi final both Pacific and Borgia could pull the upset. Borgia has the size to take Parkway West down, I'm not sure Sullivan and Pacific can defeat Parkway West with out having the game of their life. Sullivan had fun last week against Pacific's but the real test is " Can Sullivan do it again ? "
