NK trailed by as many as 12 in the first half, and Lafayette even lead by a couple going into the 4th before NK turned it on. This was the 5th game in 8 days for NK, and you could tell they were feeling it a little tonight.
 
NK's good and I like watching them play...however, it's hard for me to completely respect them when they press the entire game with a big lead...other teams do it, as well, which is sad...comes down to poor coaching. They're having their best season in a long time, but I don't see them getting past a Lake Taylor or Hopewell...we'll see what happens.

Watched Hopewell play many times this year and they play a variety of defenses and they also press at times. They've athletes and are long 6'7,6'4,6'10. And also go inside and shoot the three well. Pressing them doesn't work because there guards are very good at breaking the press And are excellent ball handlers. Lake Taylor also have athletes and quickness so we'll see what happens anything can happen on any given night.

The only way I see NK pressing the whole game is if they can run with Hopewell or LT. Both teams like to run so I wouldn’t advise it if you don’t have enough dogs. The number 1 thing I’m curious to see is NK living and dying with the 3 ball that won’t be smart ask Varina (4-20) to Hopewell (7/18)
 
The seeding in class 3A will play a huge factor. Does anyone know what the current points is? It's not like football where the points are readily available

I agree. The x factor Hopewell will be 6'10 jordan, he stating to play like he's 6'10 and if he continues to play well they'll be tough to beat.
