Sikeston over Bluff 102-66 ....
- Thread starter sikeston train
- Start date
That ugly a little earlier than I though it would. The 3rd quarter was a disaster for P.B. How the heck do you give up 89 points in 3 quarters?
Well 5 straight TO to start the 3rd QT didn't help , imo Bluff is not very well coached it like he sacrifices the team for 1 player . Bluff has some nice player on that team big athletic and it's just not happening for them and imo it's coaching
The Sikeston Bulldogs appear to be @ the top of their game with three weeks remaining before the class 4 districts starts. The Bulldogs have an overall record of 17-2. Only Two class 5 schools ( McCluer 82-73 and Chaminade 102-84 ) have defeated the powerful class 4 Sikeston Bulldogs this year.
The closest games Sikeston has this season:
1. 11-29---Blytheville-----------------68-64----Blytheville's record----13-9
2. 12-29 Zumwalt South-----------68-61----Zum's record-----------10-10
3. 01-17 Farmington----------------66-57----Farmington's record--15-5
4. 01-27 St. Louis Priory-----------72-63----Priory's record---------13-5
The Sikeston Bulldogs have 8 Clock Jobs and a 29 point win in another this season. The Bulldogs and the present coaching staff have established " Tradition " over the years and appear to be in a " Threatening Position " to make a deep run toward a class 4 final four this season. ( If the playoffs were the same as last year, I would lock in Sikeston as a final four team. ) I can not rule out a Sikeston win in the " Quarter Finals " against Vashon or St. Mary's because it's a " One game-winner take all " anything can happen and most likely will. Sikeston has a capable staff who can produce a great game plan, have the " Fred Thatch factor " and have great fan support. If we load all the positive Sikeston factors in a " Basketball Mind ", Vashon or St. Mary's maybe a slight favorite ( Maybe 5 points ) but not enough to lock in a victory. The trick here is to play one game @ a time, Stay positive and stay away from adversities from now until the last game of the season.
Train, CBC 13-8 defeated Chaminade 17-3 last night. ( 82-73 ) This is Chaminade's first Missouri defeat in two years.
Train, I see a very long " Bus Ride " for Tolton back to Columbia, Missouri latter today.
Train, I have got a true up to date reports on the Scott County Central situation. Are you sure you talked with the SCC coach concerning a doctor's note?
Train, if you review your post on the SCC situation, I though you had interest but I can understand your thoughts now. I will agree with you, what goes on @ SCC should stay @ SCC.
Metro your post has such a condescending tone? Why is that? Blame Tolton for their defeat. This game was scheduled last year while Porter was there,then he left. Not Bulldogs fault. Blame your metro area coaches for not getting their teams prepared under all the St Louis rules of moving around and not being able to get their teams prepared for a Semo team. You are hanging your hat on the 4-5 teams up there that have recruited the "educational students" that just happen to play basketball. You are putting your emphasis on Little ole Sikeston and trying to downplay their hard work, hometown kids, failing to give them any props for using what they have and preparing them to battle the obvious discrepancy going on up in your metro area. How is it possible for a team like Sikeston can compete with them? Don't say Fred because surely one player at 6'2 cannot battle Vashon's multitude of 6'4-6'8 studs. you question scheduling which is questioning the coach. Which is a complete lack of respect. I question your objectivity and your ability of realistic basketball knowledge. Your inability to look past the under-handed business that is going on up there defines your views and objectivity. If Sikeston were to get through their District and Sectional games and upset the mighty Vashon or St Mary's, Luck will surely be your fall back. No way some little under sized team that plays with heart and desire could ever beat your Metro Teams that they have built from elementary through high school. Oh wait they haven't had them that long. Simple fact is that none of your top 2-3 teams have played together as a full squad more than 2-3 years max.
