Shanksville vs Southern Fulton
Posted: February 26th, 2006, 10:00 pm
D5 championship on Thursday.. Just wanted to know everyones opinion of how the game will go...
Indians, Vikings: Round II: This One is Worth Something!
It could not have come at a better time. The Vikings (21-6) have won five, good tests in a row. They are fresh off their second, consecutive West Pac title; and just defeated a solid team in Shade.
The Indians (20-5) have won seven straight, including the clinching games of their latest Sideling Hill League title. They won an exciting, edge-of-your-seat contest against the Mountaineers of Berlin.
If this game plays out like the District V championship in '04, then we all are in for a treat. Of course, the Indians were victorious in that one.
I think the key for the Shanksville is tempo. If Berkey and company can keep the rock safe, and the turnovers low, I like their chances. Sometimes the fast-tempo, transition buckets are what keep Southern Fulton in the game.
On the other hand, P.J. Hixon and crew have find shooters and keep the Vikings off the boards. If they can keep Berkey and other guards to a fairly low percentage and not allow second-chance points, then I like the tribe's chances.
Final Answer: It's a toss-up! Whoever wins, it won't be by more than 5 points.
Players of the Game: I'll go out on a limb here: Give me Maust from Shanksville, and give me Divel from Southern Fulton.
P.S. This one could come down to who can hit their free throws.
