I already mentioned this on Inside High School Sports, but it's a promotion worth repeating. Anyone who sends a link for this blog to ten friends will receive free admission to the Pastor-Cooper Tournament next year.
Two teams picked up their first league wins of the season on Tuesday night with identical scores. Grand Island beat North Tonawanda and Akron beat Barker, each by a score of 39-37.
We're into the second week of January and there hasn't been a single comment from a Bulldog fan about the lack of respect his team is getting. Obviously noone from Alden is aware of this blog.
The Williamsville Schools (North, South, & East) are off to a combined start of 21-4, and one of the four losses was South's win against North.
Westfield senior Michael Bova posted a triple-double and broke a school record along the way during a win at North Collins on Monday. Bova scored 26 points, grabbed 20 rebounds, and blocked a Westfield record 19 shots.
Newfane junior guard Sean Seefeldt is also the starting quarterback for the football team. He shoots left-handed on the court and throws right-handed on the field.
When Lafayette senior Davon Ferguson missed a dunk against Riverside, he grabbed the miss and dunked it again…all while still hanging on the rim. He was assessed a technical foul and the dunk did not count.
Maryvale has experienced some major struggles in a pair of recent games. Leading Cleveland Hill by 10 points after three quarters, the Flyers were outscored 15-2 in the fourth and lost 51-48. A week later, Maryvale was up 35-23 at halftime against Cheektowaga, but were outscored 13-4 in the third and 24-4 in the fourth, to lose 60-43 to the Warriors.
Some major props go out to Williamsville North for the defensive game plan against David Hill of Clarence. Hill, who has scored 40 before and gone over 30 multiple times, was held to one point in the Spartans 60-55 overtime win against the Red Devils.
While checking the box scores last week, I saw Roy-Hart 33, Akron 27. I quickly scrolled back up to the top of the page thinking I had gone too far down into the girl's scores.
Tapestry Charter head coach Earl Schunk said of his Thunderhawks game at Grover on Thursday, "we're bringing the green back to Grover". The Presidents hope when Tapestry leaves, they're blue.
During the Prep Talk live chat last week, Patrick Moran of Buffalo Sports Daily said "NOBODY can shoot three for three with Timon, and I'll admit a bit of biased, but that's a fact, Jack. And while I haven't seen nearly as many games around WNY this year as Mr. McShea I can say with complete confidence that nobody can shoot threes with Timon".
Bold prediction time – when Timon visits Williamsville South on February 11th, the Billies will connect on as many or more 3-pointers.
In Lackawanna's 46-35 win over Tonawanda last week, only six players made it into the box score…from both teams combined. Each team got all its scoring from three players.
Maple Grove and Westfield had to switch home games. The Red Dragons played host in their win against Westfield Tuesday night rather than travel there, because one of the Wolverines JV players dunked and shattered the backboard before Westfield left to play at North Collins on Monday night.
