yeah ok if you say so. I don't want to even argue private and public but this comment is simply way off base. Open enrollment gets you a kid maybe a school or 2 over, private schools with recruiting can land you the best of the best from a very large area. Not even in the same conversation it of it was it'd be a non issue right??? WowYou have to realize that private schools do not have to follow the Ohio department of education guidelines academically. These kids probably take a basketball class during the day.
Mullins is due for a breakout gameBleeding Red wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2019 9:40 am Best of luck to Burg.
It seems that outside of Holden and Salyers, Burg doesnt have kids that can score. HP will put lots of pressure on Holden who will get his points. The question is can Burg's support roles score? So far in the tourney that hasnt been the case.
Unfortunately I think HP runs away with this one.
Amen brother, GO BURGyabbadabbadoo wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2019 9:02 am The one thing I noticed with Columbus City All-stars is the big man was able to dominate the glass last night against Adena. He was able to go over the Adena players all night long. I don’t think he will be able to do that with Holden in the middle. Tanner has to stay on the floor the whole game.
Burg will be a little quicker on defense than Adena was and Burg can not let them just drain wide open threes like they did last year.
This game is winnable for Burg but they can’t try and run with CCAS!!
The thing I don’t get is why does the OHSAA continue to want these private schools to make it to the Schott!! They bring NO FANS!!!! If it hadn’t of been for The CCAS bringing a student section they would not of had 50 fans there, so in two weeks when they are talking about how low the attendance was I’m going to laugh and say serves you right. These small public schools will bring there whole towns. They might stay in the hotels. They will eat at the restaurants and shop at the malls and stores. These private schools won’t bring enough people to make a difference
So what you're saying is I can go to a school in Columbus while living in Wheelersburg off of open enrollment? Sign me up!
With all due respect, Harvest Prep wouldn't get out of the Columbus district in D1 and would have an incredibly difficult time getting out of the D2 Columbus district (Columbus South is the REAL DEAL!)..... so by saying they could 'win it in all four divisions' I'm assuming you're talking about the Sectional?wobycat wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2019 10:05 am What I saw out of Harvest Prep was a team that could win it all in all four divisions but they do have some flaws if you call it that. Things I think burg could try to do to win.
- Be active in passing lanes. They threw some bad passes in the Adena game. Unfortunately for Adena they couldn't capitalize on the turnovers.
- Shoot the ball really well. HP is very athletic but I woudln't say they are the best at lock down defending. Adena had some open looks and quality shots however you really can't get to the rim on them, so burg will have to hit outside shots.
- Jump the outlet pass or smother the ball with two defenders after a HP defensive rebound. Burg has to try of gimmick ways from HP getting out and running after a burg's missed shot.
- Don't be heroes. HP is awesome at driving to the basket. Burg should try to get HP to take the mid-range jumper. I think a match up zone say a 1-2-2 or the 1-3-1 could possibly get HP to that shot area but trying to guard them one on one will be tough.
I think in a one game setting they could win in any division championship setting. They are really fast and shoot it well. Now probably no way they could win it all if they were in the D1, D2 and had to play 6 games to win it, of course, but they could win a one game setting.bbjunky81 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2019 10:14 amWith all due respect, Harvest Prep wouldn't get out of the Columbus district in D1 and would have an incredibly difficult time getting out of the D2 Columbus district (Columbus South is the REAL DEAL!)..... so by saying they could 'win it in all four divisions' I'm assuming you're talking about the Sectional?wobycat wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2019 10:05 am What I saw out of Harvest Prep was a team that could win it all in all four divisions but they do have some flaws if you call it that.

There's MULTIPLE D1 teams in Columbus that have more talent on the roster than Harvest Prep. They are good, very good, but lets keep our expectations a little more in reality
Have you ever seen Truitt and Mullins?Bleeding Red wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2019 9:40 am Best of luck to Burg.

Aside from truitt moving in district, who are the other "scioto county" boys you speak of? Two kids who play varsity to my knowledge don't live in district. One of those has went to burg his entire life. You seem to think that burg has compiled an all-star team.ItsMyOpinion wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2019 11:42 am I’ve been saying for a time that Wheelersburg is the most talented team in the Region. I will stick to that and openly admit if I’m wrong after this game. Holden is still the best player on the floor. Yes .... CJ Anthony is very talented but doesn’t have Holden’s length.
This is Wheelersburg’s last chance for a while to get to the Final Four. Because of that urgency I anticipate they will play to their capibility. If they do that then they should win. HP’s trap are very good but they leave a lot of gaps to the basket. Made baskets will slow down HP’s fastbreak.
On a side note .... Wheelersburg posters have once again turned this post into “Wheelersburg vs the World”. Example: “Private vs Public”, “Columbus City All-Star”, etc. My question is “If people think Harvest Preps has an advantage over Wheelersburg because their kids come from all over the city of Columbus does that mean Wheelersburg has an advantage over southern Ohio teams since their kids come from all over Scioto Co.?”
Wheelersburg has the 3rd highest CB number (21) of all the public schools in the Elite Eight. (Regardless of Division) Behind Northridge - 46, New Boston - 31 then Wheelersburg. Using the philosophy that HP has an advantage because they draw their area means that Wheelersburg has an unfair advantage over teams in southern Ohio because they draw their area.
I will now wait for the Wheelersburg people claim “kids want to come to Wheelersburg”. Hmmmmm .... that sounds just like the kids that attend HP!! “They want to go to Harvest Prep!”
Does Mullins and Truitt live in Burg school district? I know both moved in but unsure of residences.wobycat wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2019 11:52 amAside from truitt moving in district, who are the other "scioto county" boys you speak of?
