Me either. Looks like the Shrine football games hurt the class B roster more than class A, IMO

I like Class B's chances. Their front line play is going to surprise and their guards are athletic. Class A is undoubtedly deep and strong across the board. If Class B can keep it close and play aggressive, think they can at least split.

It will boil down to speed and defense...In a shoot out Class A has the advantage IMO..Class B will have to try and control the pace and their bigs will have to bring it and board it.....

Class A wins by wins by at least 20 both games... They have such good shooters. B does have some size but that will be made up for with the strength and jumping abilities of the class A team.

I think there should be tryouts held to see who should be selected for this game. Some really good players never end up playing in this game because just don't have the stats of other players, or not as good of a reputation around the state.

I've been involved in the selection process before. It is up to the regional rep to fight for the girls in his/her region. The coaches that do this voting listen very carefully to what the region rep says about the girls he/she is representing. And trust me, it is not always the girl with the huge stats that gets selected. These coaches are smart enough to figure out who the best players are regardless of stats.

Over/Under 5 dunks for class "A"

And/Or 2 ally-oops

Is this per game? If so, under on the dunks and even on the alley-oops.

Haha I forgot about that. Per game I guess.

I am saying this because the A team has so many dunkers. And kozlowski and Weisbeck each Caught an ally-oop in the state tournament alone. This team will be very dangerous in the open floor.

And Schock is the best dunker of the group. Strom won't be playing. Not sure what order they go in for alternates...

Why isn't Strom playing?

Will the games be televised? TV? Internet?

Yikes, class B down by 30 at one point? Doesn't sound like there was enough perimeter defense and they weren't able to keep up in transition. I didn't see it, just read the paper, is that about right?
