    Mathews vs Colonial Beach State Semifinal

    I think we’d all agree on the turnovers and execution. Low shooting percentage outside and not taking advantage of opportunities inside = not enough production. The opportunity was there, the stage was set, we just failed to take advantage of it. Painful learning lesson.

    Mathews vs Colonial Beach State Semifinal

    Completely agree there. Stop all the unneeded 3s; Drive and dump it off, would have been a whole different story. And there was ample opportunity to do it. They just did the opposite unfortunately. But that’s basketball.

    They definitely did the dribble part. Just forget the drive piece! Otherwise, it’s just killing clock unnecessarily.

    Mathews vs Colonial Beach State Semifinal

    The bad part is that’s not a play to start running with a 1 point lead and 4 minutes left. That’s an end of game strategy. It had the opposite effect of what it’s intended to do.

    Mathews vs Colonial Beach State Semifinal

    Concur. I would definitely say the stall was way too early and it surely backfired. I’m honestly not even sure why you’d want to stall with the situation they were in. The stage was set for what had worked to their advantage all season - attack mode. Like you said, they should have went with...

    Man, o, man. It was a good game. Other than a few missed travel calls, the refs were actually pretty decent. Congrats to Mathews. With the strategy CB had towards the end, I think they definitely did exactly what Mathews hoped they would. But why would CB run more than 2 minutes off the clock...

    No one cares about a blow out. A win is a win. I don’t care if it’s by 1 or by 30. Any team ‘could’ lose genius - But they didn’t. Despite the fact that knew they would right, lol. Do you want a drifter T-shirt or something? Cause you sure are sweating their squad. Jump in another forum and get...

    Your prediction was a Sussex ‘upset’. That was far from the case. And no where near spot on. Try again next year.

    Oh, and we don’t have track, lol.

    My State Tournament Predictions

    CB was if CB isn’t state caliber, then you must be calling your own team garbage, lol. Cause CB just beat them without running the starters the whole game, with crappy refs, and without constantly pushing the pace like we normally do it’s Called fundamentally smart basketball, but you already...

    Yep. Surrys a good example. They were deep last year and graduated a bunch I believe and now not working with as much. We ran into them first round last year and came out flat and got spanked, but we partially gave up before it started. Self defeat. And they went on to win it all. Just hope the...

    My State Tournament Predictions

    I’m with ya. Without digging up current stats, I don’t know exactly what their numbers are at the moment. What I will say is that in comparison to some of the other small schools, CB sometimes lacks in ‘total numbers’ of kids who actually participate in a sport (or more than 1 sport). Of course...

    My State Tournament Predictions

    CB has won plenty, but the small school thing is definitely no excuse. It just is what it is. Low numbers can’t be faked and athletes don’t grow on trees. You have to play with what you got. And for what they got, it’s pretty impressive with what they’re doing. Go find another school in VA (or...

    My State Tournament Predictions

    So you’re not a ‘basketball guy’, never seen CB play, and probably don’t watch your own team play?! You’re just that guy who likes to come to the game (or forum in this case), sit in the stands, and talk sh** on behalf of everyone else. Showing that REAL community support, lol. That’s a true...

    My State Tournament Predictions

    CB was underdog all last year just like they are every year. They ran into the #1 Surry (which was a deep solid team) in the first round, but CB definitely played flat in that game. Not saying they should/would have won, but if the whole team came to play that day, it definitely wouldn’t have...
