Man...Ellendale couldn't buy a basket from directly under the hoop to save their lives...

All very close first round games today! I expected more from the Lamoure team, but sometimes you play down to the level of the other team! The refs sure dont let the Shockman kid Play , it would be nice to see what he can actually do !!!!! But then on the other end of the Spectrum, the Sizer kid gets call, after call after call! I think, no I know last night At the Region # 3 Girls game they let Steele-Dawson play more physical than they did tonight, at the BCN, PBK game!Wow ! Sizer does get his shot off fast and has a nice touch, but to call touch fouls in the post does not make for a good Boys game to watch at all.

good players like Sizer always seem to have the calls go in their favor.

All of the games were good yesterday, i think Lamoure played down alittle bit but theyre still the obvious favorite to win the district, central praire got behind big early and gave up over 30 offensive rebounds but they still came to back to win, ellendale didn't look very good last night especially compared to when i saw them play earlier in the year, the pbk-bcn was a good one throughout, i was impressed with sizer and bcn they had some other players play well for them last night too, should be some good games today

What are everyones predictions for todays games?

by **sportsguy2** » Sat Feb 24, 2007 6:31 am

LMM over Tappen

Ellendale over PBK

LaMoure over Central Prarie

BCN over Kulm

this district has been so even with everyone beating everyone that I'll probably get all 4 wrong

amen...or you'll get every game right with the winners getting 30-point wins...who knows with this district this year? all the games are definitely toss ups and fall under the 'who comes to play' category.

Any idea how the games are going?

by **hoopsstar2391** » Sat Feb 24, 2007 7:18 pm

LMM beat Tappen by 20 something.

P-B-K upset Ellendale

LaMoure won pretty easily over Central Prarie

BCN beat Kulm.

can someone who has watched ellendale more than the two times i have (both losses at the tourney) tell me what was (or maybe what wasn't) happening with the team that had happened in the regular season?

not often you see a no. 2 seed get bounced in two straight games.

i dont see why everyone thinks sizer is god's favorite, he cant play defense, watching him dribble is a joke, all he can do is be a ball hog. He's 6'2 130, gets pushed around and the only thing hes got going for him is getting every call and shooting all the time. Yes he may put up 30 but i want to see a fairly decent team play against him who can walk and breathe at the same time let alone play ball, and see how good he is. But overall i think he is terrible.

He hasn't played any decent teams all season?

I thought he was 6'4? He must be pretty terrible to put up 25 points and 13 rebounds a game.

by **gamechanger** » Sun Feb 25, 2007 7:40 am

i agree, I've seen sizer play many times, he gets every call! It's just really ridiculous if you ask me.

by **Sports guy** » Sun Feb 25, 2007 7:46 am

Sizer must not be that bad if he lead his team to the Championship game

by **AandBfan** » Sun Feb 25, 2007 7:50 am

Sizer has played well, along with two freshemn Bartlett and Heinze who have been in double figures in both tournament games, with three good scoring threats i think BCN will give Lamoure a tough game

He does get to the line a lot, but thats because most teams try to stop him by being physical and pushing him around it seems like a good strategy since he's not built big but, when you play like that fouls are going to be called, if people feel he gets all the calls maybe teams should change their strategy about defending him

Pretty sure he isnt terrible, i'd like to see you get 30 points and around 10 rebounds night in and night out. He makes alot of good moves around the basket, and he's 6'4 by the way.

Sizer is not terrible sure he might shoot everytime but when he makes over 60 percent of his 2 point field goals and over 44 percent from 3's i wouldnt mind having him shoot and being a ball hog, he is an all around good player who gets it done night in and night out

by **TJayU** » Sun Feb 25, 2007 1:33 pm

The point is, Ellendale held Sizer to 10 points and 2 rebounds.

To hopefully change focus away from just Sizer, I'm hoping BCN defeats LaMoure. I think it can be done.
