Good defense is one thing, but to allow so much contact that the offenses could never get going is not exciting basketball. Call a few more fouls early on to force the defense to back off a bit and maybe we wouldn't see scores that look like they belong in the scorebooks of the 1930s or 40s.

Guy you have to find something else to talk about. Every topic doesn’t have to turn into this.

1) pacing myself
2) relevant to the reply I quoted
3) didn't know someone died and made you editor
4) assuming 3 didn't happen, ignore my post
5) if athletes can kneel for the anthem, you can tolerate this.

Funny because Kindred way Bigger than the EKM COOP.... Looked up the male enrollment for both schools and it looks like Kindred has about 20 more male students in their High school.... So I can see that EKM is a True Class B school and Kindred is a Class A school.

Ok I'll bite. The Class A guards have other players on their team that need to be guarded. Outside of Jase Dickens, nobody on White Shield's team was a scoring threat most of the time. Jesse was always being doubled or triple guarded, and teams in the Region tourney were putting their best defense players on him constantly. As someone who has watched a lot of White Shield basketball over the last 3-4 years, I can say that the Region Championship Game against Powers Lake (excluding the last 2-3 minutes when the game was over) was the most mature game I've ever seen from him. He took smart shots, drove to the basket, and included his teammates who were open because he would draw in the ENTIRE defense. I will admit that he was having a tough time making some of his shots in the Region Tournament, but giving Mr. Basketball to someone other than Jesse White would be a grave injustice and evidence that no one from a true Class B school ever has a chance to win this award these days.
No Jesse White- I bet White Shield has a losing or 50-50 record this season and barely makes it to the region tournament, out in the first round.
With Jesse White- White Shield plays Powers Lake close through 3 quarters in the Region Championship. There is no player in the state who made more of a difference to their team this year. This is indisputable.

I expected Jesse White to win. Personally, I would have voted for Carter Birrenkott and I do not think it would have been a travesty if he or Deonte Martinez won the award. Legitimate cases could have been made for all of the candidates honestly. I played with Jesse White recently and he is definitely very talented. Will be fun to follow his career wherever he lands in college.
Will be a fun race next year with Trey Brandt, Treysen Eaglestaff, Carson Hegerle, Joe Hurlburt, and maybe others who step up.

There’s a reason why the big time colleges aren’t recruiting most of these kids, not taking away what they are don’t but not higher than D 3 skills. Put into thought mason Walters Doing very well D 3
Upper Midwest and his teammate. The one thing these kids do get to do is compete in several sports. That’s to their advantage. Like it said, very entertaining but ND athletics. Just enjoy the moment.

I believe that dunking in warmups is a technical foul if the refs see it.
