Pine Valley & I-Prep earn sectional titles

Class D Championship – Pine Valley 57, Clymer 53

 

The Panthers got 21 points from Jason Howard, including five 3-pointers and a traditional three-point play, en route to a seventh sectional title since 2000.  Pine Valley never trailed Clymer for the first three quarters and led by as many as 13 points.  In the final stanza, the Pirates twice took a one-point lead, the second time with under three minutes to play.  But Howards three-point play put the Panthers back in front for good as they were able to connect on eight of nine from the charity stripe in the last two minutes to advance to the Far West Regionals in Rochester on Saturday.

 

Brendan Bentham and Ed Barnes each scored 10 points for Pine Valley.  Junior Adam Walker led Clymer with 20 points, while sophomore Dan Lictus added 11 points.

    Good one.
    I’ve got my eye on a Sam Adam’s Noble Pils, but not until after I’m back at home. MIG doesn’t need any assistance…he’s naturally goofed up.

    Let me be the first to congratulate the Crusaders on their 2012 Federation Title and to Coach Husband on his Coach of the Year Award and to Stan for being the NYS POY.
    So, MiG, is the world going to end on 12/21/12 or not? I need to know whether I should spend all of my savings on basketball games by then or save some for afterwards. Wouldn’t want it to go to waste.
    This is #154. MiG, you had the first comment on the second 100 of this post,also. If you care to, you can thank TML for that!
    Kidding aside, Have a safe trip. Are you headed to Florida or Arizona?

    “Mr.Basketball” — I couldn’t think of what it was called this morning.

    The Stan to Canisius for the sole purpose of playing basketball comments are getting old. Just curious MIG, do you care even the slightest bit about a kid’s education? Free agency does not exist in high school sports. The Canisius parents will block that from happening.
    A more likely scenario has Stan taking his formidable athletic skills to St. Joe’s, making the transition to the football field where he will play wide receiver. Can you imagine that kid catching passes from high Division 1 bound Chad Kelly? I can see about 3 to 4 Kelly to Weir touchdown passes a game.
    This is actually a good idea. Someone get a hold of coach Gilbert.
    R-U-M-O-R. Just like the rest of the nonsense. He will be back at Nichols or at home at East Aurora or finish where he is. Canisius does’t need him, they have large poll top 3 pre-season rating written all over them. Very strong at both the JV and Freshman level.

    Lucky 13 u seem 2 b a cool guy! Yes in Tampa. Saw CC and Roy this afternoon both pitched great. I get some people could care less about these games that don’t count. But u have 2 do it 2 get it. Nothing like watching Major league guys in minor league parks. Just me and my 7 year old for 5 days I love it!
    And no, I don’t really care about Stan’s education. His Dad is very smart and I am sure Stan is doing fine in school. This is a BASKETBALL blog…not a ‘how r this kids grades’…I hope his Dad does decide on Canisius. Or Joe’s. A super school is great to watch. Honestly if Syracuse wins the National Title this year and none of the guys have good grades…why should I care?
    4got who even asked me the question. I have had 9 hours of sleep in 3 days.

    Awesome, an honest answer from MIG: “And no, I don’t really care about Stan’s education”, “This is a BASKETBALL blog…not a ‘how r this kids grades’…”
    Mesmorizing breakdown of living vicariously through someone else’s kid’s.

    MIG,
    I think we all understand that this is not a “how r this kids grades” blog. But these are “student athletes” we’re talking about. I know a lot of times that gets forgotten (i.e. Newburgh Academy), but these are student athletes and I’m sure Stan Wier is very smart and getting good grades, but the whole idea of high school free agency is just ridiculous in my opinion. I love to see teams field homegrown talent, and develop it into a championship team, all the while making sure that the kids are getting a good education. But that’s just my opinion. Enjoy spring training!

    “Mesmorizing (sic) breakdown of living vicariously through someone else’s kid’s.
    Totally irrelevant, haughty comments that can only spark the kind of response it prompted.
