Walsh rates every word of it. Remember thinking when they originally offered that this seemed like 1 of those quixotic offers along the lines of Koa Peat and what are they doing. And that dude just flat made it happen.

If you have NFHS, McNeeley and Queen playing tonight. Fair to assume it will be a beating.

Like watching the Globetrotters vs. Washington Generals.   LOL

Yup. And the thing is, this isn’t the worst high school team in the world. These guys just happen to be cannon fodder for the best high school team in the world. Something to tell their kids about someday.

In a nail biter, MVA eked out a 118-28 win over South Lake.  If only our Hoosiers could play as cohesively as the MVA team.  I scored Liam with 20p on 7-9 FG; 4-6 on 3s and 2-2 FT.  So smooth.

Well, it was no Moses Abraham, but we paid some attention.

The Hysterics are a bit cringey in this one, but Liam is not. He is completely all in and is clearly tuned in to what makes IUBB special. The kid is calm and mature, except for when he tries to describe just how much he is looking forward to being in Bloomington.

If you had a dollar for every time we start with some derivation of “The Hysterics were a bit cringey….” you’d have that Battle for Atlantis trip covered.

With the four part RMK memorial interview series they were zero cringey. Really did a nice job.

It seems that they have much more trouble acting like adults when interviewing da youts.

I guess they’re trying to make Montverde’s game tonight a little more interesting by spotting the opponent a couple of points.

They would’ve still won the South Lake game by 10.

Not tonight. This team has a couple of kids who are legit D-1 types. 39-22 at halftime. McNeeley with 6. Hasn’t shot great, but floor game has been impeccable. The kid can really play. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart 83,601]

Definirely a much higher caliber of opponent but Montverde defeated Huntsville (AL) 78-51.  Rough shooting night for Liam finishing with only 6p and just 1-6 on 3s.  But he added 6r; 4a; 1b.  Queen 12p; 3r; 5a; 1s.  Both played approximately 20 min.

Noticed it in the rout the other night and again tonight that when Liam isn't in the game he's a great bench cheerleader.
