Regional 3/13 Zane Trace v New Philadelphia

[KRS]

Congrats to Zane Trace on a fine season. Should be even better next year. Best of luck to New Philly in the finals.

New Philly found a way to win with terrible 1st and 3rd qtr shooting percentages.

NP 50 - ZT 43 (Final)

That FG% in the 1st qtr for the Quakers would have been much worse had it not been for the rim and backboard gods that richly blessed two very inaccurate shots, a trey and a deuce. Only one Quaker made a trey, Noah Begue, and that first lucky one must have got him calibrated, as he ended up making four plus four key FTs late on two one and bonus situations. The Quakers missed 3 of 4 of their 1st half FTs, then shot none in the 3rd, and then made all 9 in the 4th. I wonder if the Quakers took the opportunity to try to calibrate their shooting eyes by practicing early this year in the Convo?

Their good. Should be a good one. Philly will have to rebound with the Sheridan bigs. Both well coached and very good. 2-3 point game either way.

Listened to the game last night. Is there anything better than having Mike Smith get excited on the radio?

Sounded like ZT was the better team for 3 qts but ran out of gas in the 4th.
Congrats on a great season. The SVC was well represented this year in tourney play and all the young men from ZT should be very proud.

Heard it here first, ZT will be in the Schott next year. Final 4.

Zane Trace had a great year. Next year they could be better yes but with next year will also come much higher expectations. Zane Trace will have a tag on their back every game next year. Remember Fairland had those expectations put on them and came up a little short- even though they had an outstanding season. Its different when you go from the being the hunter to being hunted. Also you never know what could happen as far as injuries, illness and things like that. So saying Zane Trace will be in the Final 4 next year is placing a larger target on next years team.

I agree, for the most part. But it looks like Zane Trace will be dropping to D3 and will have to beat one of Harvest Prep/Africentric/Wellington etc which is no easy task.

Ah touché! Those teams are no joke with the recruiting they do. Will be tough to get past them. Not sure what they have returning but David does an excellent job getting kids to come to HP

Nonetheless, Zane Trace has plenty to be excited about and is definitely one of the Regional favorites. If Zane Trace adds one more piece, they have a decent shot at perhaps even a State title.

Exciting times in Kinnikinnick!

Down 44-43 with just under a minute to go — Evans got in the lane and had a 4 or 5’ shot on the rim — it looked good — just wouldn’t fall.

Forced to foul and NP went 6-6 while ZT chose to shoot 3s for the most part and they didn’t fall.

It was right there — but those things happen in games where teams are evenly matched.

What piece do they need to add for that shot and where does it come from?

[CavalierAlum05]

Good question.
I think they need a more pure scorer. Simone who can score and take pressure off Evans. Definsively I think they are ok. With new transfer rules unless the kid is in ZT he has to sit out 2nd half right? (Idk exactly on that rule I know someone will)

[25th Street NW]

Who is Simone?

[CavalierAlum05]

Who is Simone?

lol "someone" my bad.

[CavalierAlum05]

But hey, Simone sounded good! I heard the kid is legit! lol
