Well Heart Butte went into state undefeated including a win over a Class B school and victories over the Bobcat fan favorite Pickering in Sunburst (a highly touted one man team like you mention above). Heart Butte has a quality player in the 6'3" guard Spoonrunner kid who is a sophomore which I guess means they should have won it all this year.... but you might remember the Heart Butte kids had not been home for nearly 3 weeks due to the snow/wind in the Browning/Heart Butte area and the kids were puking on the sidelines at state (as was Malatare). Fairview started 4 sophomores and a junior and made state with its only losses to Scobey and an upset loss in Division to Park City...which they avenged at State, also had a win over a Class B school.Cat Grad wrote:Yes, MC has been a worthy opponent and the Scobey's and Melstone's but I beg you to name a fifth in the whole state? If you are a talented one or two man show at the Class C level, you can dominate. All you have to be is better than the one best player on the opposing team. If you have a second or a third legit player at that level, you feel like you've won the lottery.BobcatDel wrote:
I will ask again.... did you go see the kid play? And how much Class C ball have you watched? Who are you kidding about winning state with one or two kids? I can tell you that you ain't gonna win Class C with one or two guys. It takes 7 or 8 quality players to win state in Class C. Chinook had 4 kids in the 6'4" range this year and no guard play so could not get out of Divisional. Highwood four years ago in Billings had 5 great starters but no bench and could not even get into Saturday night at state... a great team though. CJI had 4 players that could have played on any team in the state 3 years ago and couldn't make it out of the division with no bench. But if you want to assemble a mighty duo and try to win it all...... well just go for it and prove me wrong.[/quote]
Thank you for this post. You said it much better than I could ever do and I get so damn mad at the asshat AA graduates and psuedoballplayers still living their glory days (Thanks Bruce Springsteen!) that I just quit reading their bull sheet and consider the source. Just a bunch of lazy, worthless dumbs**ts who come on these sites bragging about how "great" they were in high school and making excuses why they weren't worth a sh*t in college. Especially the sorry asses who got beat out by a kid from someplace like Drummond or Westby.[/quote]
I've seen Philip play a lot. Good player, but still, I just don't see the extreme infatuation. Maybe he'll prove me wrong.
Asshat AA graduates? That's hilarious...at least its not the "me against the world" Class C & B asshats! Get a decent athlete from a C or B school that makes a college roster and the "town folk" get all excited and then start talking statewide about the past over their Saturday morning coffee at the café. Anyway, I'd love to see a few of these smaller school athletes maintain their composure when they go up against 6-10, 6-9, 6-7 guys everynight. I'll leave it at that.
