In the Dallas area, the 5A game appears to have been moved to an 11:00 tape delayed airing because of the Mavericks game.
congrats to Cokie and Waco Midway! Cokie led the way with 17 points and 11 rebounds. Mulkey's daughter also added 8 points and 7 rebounds. not a great showing for Timberview. they shot 17.5% from the field (11-63). ouch.
the Midway game started about 30 minutes late. but according to the Waco Tribune, Mulkey stayed for the whole game . i'm sure she's booking it back to Waco as we speak for Baylor's game against A&M. now, i give Mulkey a hard time on occasion for her crazy choice in outfits and her sideline freak-outs...but i thought it was pretty cool that she watched the entire game, even if it was cutting it close. very exciting moment for their family. now her daughter can add the HS state championship to her resume, though she's still a little behind her mom's 4 state championships and 3 national championships. The Link 5:28 p.m. — For the record, Mulkey stayed for the whole game. It looks like she wants to give Makenzie a hug before hurrying off to the Ferrell Center.
Sounds like a great game for Cokie and kudos to Mulkey for staying for such an important event for her daughter.
A friend of mine who has watched Timberview said he and others were stunned at the poor shooting and hesitation to shoot by the Wolves. They had played great defense and strong offense most of the season. They were a really strong group this year but waited until the wrong time to play poorly. He said Midway came to play and deserved it.
I saw Timberview play thurs. night, and i thought they'd give Midway a good game also. But, Midway had the better team overall, even if Timberview had played well. They had to have been a great team to even get that far!!
So sorry, Summit is ahead of Nimitz 10-9. Griner is going to be hard to shoot over and around. WHEW! not looking forward to 4 years of her!
our posts are going to have to put a body on her and allow the others to be able to take that short jumper or layup depending where Griner is.
15-14, Mansfield at the half. The Nimitz guards are killing me. Nimitz had 4 or 5 straight possessions down the court where they didn't even look to Griner. All they have to do is throw the ball way up in the air and only Griner will get it. Looks like the other players are forgetting to dance with the one that brung them.
The Nimitz guards are doing their best to try and lose this game. Jeez, how hard can it be to throw it in to Griner?
Jusme, have you tried channel 677 on DTV? I am getting the game but maybe because I am not in the Mavericks' market.
I kept checking that channel till about 9:15....with nothing, but now it just may be on. yeah, maybe i have it now!! thanks for posting that...i probably would've just given up!!
This Nimitz coach cannot be very bright. Why does she allow Griner to go 20 feet from the basket to guard her player? Make the girl prove that she can hit a shot before you send Griner out to guard her.
Summit has done a very good job of pulling Griner up in the box and slashing in behind her before she can recover. Summit just seems to be too quick for Nimitz.
Does Nimitz even run plays? They have no movement in their offense. I haven't seen them set any screens and they should have a high/low game to get the ball in the middle of the floor.
I think that's twice that Summit's Crawford hit a shot to beat the end of the period buzzer. Nimitz needs to get the ball inside to Griner if they want to win this game.
How did Nimitz beat Dulles with Griner on the bench for almost half the game? I have to say that after watching the rest of the team play that I am stunned that Dulles was not able to beat them with Griner on the bench for so much of the game.
Once again, why is the Nimitz coach allowing Griner to be so far from the basket on defense. She is asking Griner to go out and guard 20 feet from the basket? Plant her under the basket so that Summit doesn't get those drives to the basket.
