I'm wrong all the time but I disagree....they definitely didn't let Swingle get his. They played hard in guarding him a props to him for what he does to get to 30 points.smurray wrote:Looks like Norms plan was to let Swingle get his.

Agreed. I thought they did well to keep Swingle to 30. 1-4 in the last 1:05 killed the Bearcats. Not using the fouls to give to at least reset tre defense was another key. That's a hard thing to practice though. PV returns 4 of their main 5 players from today's game.Ironman92 wrote:I'm wrong all the time but I disagree....they definitely didn't let Swingle get his.

Missed ft and perimeter defense breakdown
Sounds like three people who need to get a life and realize this is high school sports.Ironman92 wrote:How did Swingle do when he faced Southeastern. 3 different SE fans (older men) kept dogging him.

Sooooo pretty much the same experience that I had (minus the racism) lol it's pretty easy to run down a kid from far away, especially one like Swingle.Ironman92 wrote:How did Swingle do when he faced Southeastern. 3 different SE fans (older men) kept dogging him.

Agree. I've watched Swingle from afar over the last three seasons. The progress he's made on developing a complete game and how he has filled out his body has been very impressive. Obviously a young man who works very hard at his craft.danicalifornia wrote:Sooooo pretty much the same experience that I had (minus the racism) lol it's pretty easy to run down a kid from far away, especially one like Swingle.Ironman92 wrote:How did Swingle do when he faced Southeastern. 3 different SE fans (older men) kept dogging him.

Point #1 and #2 were head scratching. That one missed ft looked like several rebounds where Swingle just tipped it to himself for the lay in.baseball16 wrote:Wow, what a game. Once again the Oaks prevail. How they do, who cares.
I thought PV did not help themselves out. 1. Why play Zone the last 2-3 possessions. Zone left too many open shots. Oaks hit over 10 3's . 2. 3 team fouls, why not have Swingle trying to rebound on the FT's?, knowing that FT's are probably going to be missed. If he gets a foul who cares, he had none and not even close to the bonus. 3. PV should have called a timeout once they got it across halfcourt (about 4-5 seconds Left). Would've given them a chance to throw one into swingle. 4. Oak Hill came out running in the 3rd qtr and built an 8 point lead, then went away from that. Anytime they beat Swingle down the court they scored. Not sure why they didn't do that more.
I 100% agree with this statement. Last two years I have been disappointed in what Swingle has done at the Convo. However this year, he was a totally different player. There was no answer to his game. All Oak Hill could do is play behind and hope he missed. I loved his patience and footwork in the post. The kid has really become a legitimate D1 College player.bman wrote:Agree.

I am shocked they are D3. It has to be close.93Bulldog wrote:New count before next season. Be interesting if Paint Valley can drop to DIV again. With Oak Hill and Fairland absolutely loaded next year, it would be cool of the Bearcats would drop.
Ohio State, Xavier and Dayton have also expressed interest from what I've been told.93Bulldog wrote:I know WVU, Akron & George Washington are all interested in Swingle. On a side note, in all the years I've been watching games at the Convo - last night was the first time an OU coach sat courtside to watch a player. Saul showed up a few minutes before tip and stood behind Lou in front of the bleachers the entire game. I don't know if he talked to Swingle after the game - but if I was Saul - I would have walked into the locker room and offered him a scholarship on the spot. lol
