since your name is Dawg I will attribute the home cooking comment to your passion for your team. the truth is if they were NOT calling this game close it would have been out of control early. In the 4th quarter The Bulldogs had to press and foul to get as close as they did.
Respect to all the folks who came up after working all day.
I would say it’s a little disingenuous to suggest the only reason Brunswick was in the game was because of the refs calling it close. Cutting a 10 point halftime deficit to 4 after 3 quarters is not a team just trying to hang around. Check the history books Brunswick is a very proud program one of the best in 2A. Having said that I again compliment this JM team as super talented and very deserving
Brunswick hung in there against the full court press and had players who came to compete. JM looked sloppy/flat but found the rhythm late. With that said, they still scored 90+....
"If" that game would to occur, it would be a very fascinating matchup, to be honest.
I know JM is considered the overwhelming favorite to win it all, as they should - but SD plays a very different type of game that few teams come up against.
Any team that can shoot the 3 is always in a game.
If I'm with SD I wouldn't say anything to give JM motivation. So now SD is the team with the athletes and style that would beat JM?
Jayem is going to give Stuarts Draft a nice beat down I’ll say they win by 30pts
Absolutely Johnny JM is a great team not taking anything away from them. My response was to the poster that suggest Brunswick had to press and foul in the 4th quarter just to lose by “only” 25 pts. Score was 64-60 going into the last frame not a 40 point blowout as the poster suggest. If any other 2A team keeps it as “close” or actually manages to out score JM in 2 out of 4 quarters as Brunswick did I would be very impressed.
I know nothing about them:
1. How many 3 point shooters do they have?
2. Can they defend the trey too?
3. How many point guards?
4. How many turnovers they average?
I only said that it would be an interesting matchup "if' it were to occur.
Who knows...they might even knock off East Rock in the regional finals.
I'm always fascinated by teams with contrasting styles...
Plus I think it must be a lot of fun to play on a team that every player gets a chance to play, not just during mop up time.
And you have to believe in yourself and your game when you get to this point of the season....otherwise why even play the game if the other team has already beaten you on paper.
It's not like Brunswick is a lunch meat program. l would never be surprised if they play a team tough.

They shoot a ton of threes...I believe everyone on the roster has the green light from beyond the arc...defense is an afterthought but they do press full court all game...run and gun from opening tip to final buzzer...,sub 5 at a time about every dead ball. Most teams struggle with the frenetic pace of play... especially late in the game. They score a lot and give up a lot. Teams have lots of fast break opportunities...They play everybody on the roster a lot. Kinda fun to watch...unless you’re a Tony Bennett disciple!

I gave you a like because that was a good pep talk...BUT once the game starts that pep talk is down the drain against JM lol

Yea JM would(will) press the whole game and have length at every level. Deny defense is how you beat the 3 pt shooters. Make them drive into the trees.
In my opinion that’s probably not the way to beat JM. They will wear down even the most athletic of teams and it’s blowout city. I applaud Brunswick for trying to play their own game but slowing it down and zoning up JM I think would be the better strategy
That is just the way SD plays...live or die. But there is a lot of basketball to be played yet...
nobody scores 100 on JM not even Lebron Jr's team
You are probably right but if SD is on, it might be a 115-96 kinda game. Or it could be a 50 pt blowout.

Lol this is a joke Jm beat trinity down in rva they damn near beat sieara canyon and they pressed Jm the whole game and they have the length and two McDonald’s all Americans on the team they still almost won, st.draft can’t and won’t win I’m willing to bet anything on this game
I just think jayem will win but i never seem draft size and there players but I just can’t see anyone beating jayem and there going to win the championship
They are going to consistently have to hit 30 footers the length of JM is tough to deal with
I would love our chances if the game was at the Siegel center or any neutral site but we”ll show up ready to battle
not to mention you being pressed the length of the court with a 6'6'' player playing on the front line of the press and a 7footer on the back end. legs by 3rd or 4th quarter aint built for long 3's...
I just looked up St.draft schedule and they lost to Orange County and that team isn’t big or have the half the talent jayem have, man let me stop talking about this game, I’ll be at the game to watch it next week
The rest of Draft's Schedule
