I was wondering what you guys though about Scranton. Do you think they are for real, or do you think that they just got lucky?

scrantons got potential, they outplayed killdeer , they just havent been able to play like they usually do against the good teams yet, but they are one of the bests in their district, honeyman kid just simply shut out dufault, it didnt even look hard for him, going against man the whole game on dufault is amazing, burns did decent on him as well, otherwise scrantons bench sure gave them another push. scrantons depth is dangerous, and also talk about that unbelieveable buzzer beater by shawn burns...on the opponnets free throw line , maybe even back further, one handed bank in? simply incredible

They scored fifty points WOW. The impressive point is how many points they gave up. I believe they are an average team..Along with Killdeer. They will need to continue to play strong defense to play with the big teams in their region..However they will also have to be better on offense..Solid district team, but after that they will have trouble..

I wouldn't say holding someone to 20 points is exactly shutting them out...

Straight outta Webster's...

for reĀ·al - adj. - describes a team that plays (for the most part) poorly at the beginning of the season, has one upset over an unsuspecting team of avg. players (minus you-know-who), and will soon be forgotten after they go (if they get lucky in districts) one and done in regionals.

so yeah...they is "for real"

Alright, First of all...I think scranton is definately for real..Sure they have some off nights where they have to come back in the end...but they "always" come back and make a run for it...it doesn't matter if there down 6-18 in the first quarter..they give everyone a run for their money.
Shawn Burns- Shoots the rock, highest scorer, makes plays happen
Blake Honeyman-Good post who can shoot the mid ranged jumper
Brian Hagen- good "strong" post
Travis Teske- "amazing" shot with some post moves
Casey Kromarek- surprised he isnt a starter.. hardly misses
not sure on the others capabilities but these are the people that stand out to me...

im sorry project pat, but im not "on" scrantons side at all...
I just think that if they keep playing well, like they did against killdeer, they could be a contender for regionals..dont get yourself carried away...after all this is under the "Is Scranton For Real" link

Scranton is not for real man....you beat Killdeer...congratulations...I bet that gave a little morale to the squad...but we'll see how you guys compete with teams like Watford, Hazen, and Richardton/Taylor....I love Scranton, but come on, let's get real here....

well last time I checked Hazen is in the region....and Scranton went down 34-60 to Richardton....it doesn't matter if you can make it out of the district...if you can't compete with the region...just making your season longer...

This will probably be the team they will have to beat if they plan on getting into regionals...i think they have a good chance IF they can play as well as they played against killdeer...do u know where the game is at?
