ReadyToPlay wrote:Thompson came to Grafton last night and won by 30 . Not going to mix words---Thompson total dominance---Physical, Court Awareness, Quick, Unselfish, Quality shots, Never standing still, Defensive prowness, Very balanced 1-10. Could compete very well as a team at the junior college level.

It was there home court, huge crowd, so there is a mental right there...Grafton wasn't able to establish a inside game because they really haven't got one. They weren't able to hit three pointers because someone actually guarded them. They didn't rebound because they only have one gal to rebound. The rest wait in the wings waiting for an outlet pass. . Oh, by the way, Grafton didn't show up against Park River about a week or so either then. Grafton has stayed the same over the last year while the top teams in the region have been hitting the weights and going to AAu games all summer long...It was like a pinball game--Grafton was the small little ball and Thompson was the machine.

Give them another chance. I think we'll see a different outcome. Let's wait a couple weeks when Thompson plays PRFL before we hand them the Championship Trophy.

ReadyToPlay never suggested that anyone should hand Thompson a trophy, regional or any other. He (guessing Ready is male), also refered to others lifting and doing other things to improve. I took that as including PRFL, who also handled Grafton fairly handily. As far as last season, I can't find a roster for Grafton last year. So, I'm not sure if each team returns the same players. If they do, maybe there is something to what ReadyToPlay had to say regarding the off seasons for the teams.
Maybe Grafton played poorly and Thompson played very well. It used to be very common to play nearly every team on your schedule twice during the regular season. It would be very uncommon to see a team fall by 29 and come back to win the second meeting. Anything can happen in high school athletics though.

Looks like North Star should jump 2 spots with the win over Rugby also. PRFL and Thompson went down to the wire with Thompson winning by 4. Great game.Run4Fun2009 wrote:ReadyToPlay wrote:I believe the number 3 and 4 teams will be just switched around as North Star wins over Park River 45-36. Nothing hurt, just a different order...
North Star plays Rugby this week too
