Where did their coach go? And who is the new guy? And are you saying the Versailles kids 29ppg are a little inflated due to style of play?
Not saying that at all. That Williams kid would be a 29+ ppg type kid running the flex lol. Just didn't know if they would be fast and furious and he would see as many shot attempts. Coach Walters will do a great job I'm sure, might even run the same style. Was just saying it will be interesting to see if the style will be different.
That is a shame if true. Injuries are a part of it, but you hate to see it happen to kids. Coach Ollison went to Lincoln University as the head softball coach. Coach Walters did a great job with the kids this summer from what I seen. Will not be as deep as the last couple years. Tri-County is more wide open than ever this year.
Their JV has dominated a lot the last couple of years, I think they will be fine and are the favorite to win the Tri County. They may not be quite as dominating this year.
I think the BO JV beat Versailles by 40ish and SBC by 20ish. In the best season of Versailles B-Ball in recent memory LY they got Turbo Clocked by BO.
Change leagues? so having 2 6'10" that are D! players players over a course 6 years...what do you expect? How many teams anywhere can say that. And yes they have had close games from teams in conference and have lost in the past 3-4 years. This year will be interesting. I agree BO will be the team to beat until someone dethrones them. The competition level will be well balanced in the conference this year.
They aren't leaving Tri-County. They don't have boys soccer or Tennis which many of the conferences have. Tri-County is a great fit. Travel has to be taken in consideration as well.
CMAC would make sense in several sports, but BO probably enjoys dominating the Tri to much to challenge themselves. And they would have to add soccer, tennis etc…
Higginsville and Richmond better competition? LMAO!! I can name 3 other schools in Tri-County that have better sports programs....
I agree they aren't leaving but where would they go even if they wanted to. It would have to be the CMAC since there isn't any upgrade in the region.
Obviously this is a bball thread. But in let’s say basketball and football (the sports that everyone follows) who in the Tri has been better than Richmond and Higginsville??
year in year out..Southern Boone, Boonville, Hallsville...in all sports not just basketball
If they are not at full strength on Saturday it could be a rough afternoon, that Reeds Spring team is really good. They hammered Osage
And that is not a knock on them, they obviously have had plenty of success in basketball. I think schedule wise Tri-County poses a tougher schedule of opponents and often times have been matched up in same district as BO or Helias or Father Tolton
I’ve just seen FB and Bball scores from the last couple years. You might be right over the long run.
They haven't been near full strength all year, and they probably lost two more starters on defense after the district championship game.
Not sure anything is a given, this time of year. If teams were not good, they would not still be playing...
I will say this with complete honesty. Boonville will have to play a complete game with no mistakes and win the turn over battle as well Reed Spring will have to make mistakes and cough up the ball more than they put in it in the end zone. If this happens Boonville has a chance. If not Boonville is on to Basketball and watching their Tri County partner BO compete next week.
Boonville has a lot of horseshit stuff going against them behind the scenes this week, their chances are very slim. It is a great group of seniors that will do their best for each other. That is about all that can be said.
