Rocket, I read your profile on the Sikeston Bulldogs. I will agree the Bulldogs are very impressive, has a deep bench and one of the top player in Missouri in Fred Thatch. My take on Parker and Owen Long was off the charts. They really know how to play the game of basketball. I see major minutes for Owen and Parker Long for the next two years.
I was taken back to the mid-70's on the left handed Long kid. He reminded me of a player, Terry Kramer who moved into the St. Charles school district in December of his junior year. Terry 6'3" was an outstanding guard with a high level IQ from Ohio who latter played @ Nichols State.
I like Dylon Mills 6'4"----Trey Jenkins 6'7" and Fred Thatch 6'3" as inside players.
The guards Kevin Jones 5'11"---------Parker Long 6'1" and Owen Long 6'1". Fred is a great player and will play guard @ St. Louis University but his value for the Bulldogs is not @ guard. Fred is nightmare match up for any team in Missouri if he plays the 3,or 4 position. If I was making out a defensive game plan for Fred, I want him @ guard, he's to strong on the inside, Fred outweighs Michael Porter Jr. who weighs in @ 215 Lbs and 6'10".
Sikeston has been successful with high energy Dylon Mills coming off the bench. Not many 6th men in Missouri can change needed momentum the way " Mr Energy can. This will be a coaching decision on not starting Dylon Mills.
I may not be on my game but I see the Sikeston Bulldogs competing with any team in Missouri regardless of class and a class 4 state championship is possible. St. Mary's is team that will not go away with all the chips on the table. St. Mary's plays down against lower opponent but not against the big teams.
