Southland Conference plays their Saturday games at 2:00 and 4:30(one at 4:15). Might be why they don’t play regionals at SFA any more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diehard Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Looks like Grapeland wanted to fight Svlle and Tenaha after the game outside.....I believe instead of the Corona virus them folks were suffering from the Colt 45 virus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think losing the last 3 years in the regional finals to Shelbyville will make want to fight someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigj Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Hopefully next year Grapeland will get over this hump! I could see Grapeland being in the regional finals for the next 6 years easy. 7th and 8th graders will just reload them. 7th graders have some tall ballers. Couple kids 6’2 will probably be pretty tall by high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say the great ones make those around them better and I've seen it from him. Glad hes graduating. And good luck at state. I agree but in all of Buckley's greatness I think his classmates Kolby Parker and Jordan Boykins are just as much a factor in the overall success. Jordan is literally playing with a torn ACL! He is probably 60% at best. If he were a 100% who could play within 20 points of us? I also think he is the best big game 3 point shooter to come through these parts. Also of note he just turned 17 in August so he will graduate a really young Sr. Kolby Parker who does everything well is pure heart! According to the stats on Max Preps he has drawn over 200 charges these last two seasons! This season I thought he was the difference in the first Tenaha game with some huge shots and yesterday he made some game changing hustle plays that won't show up in the stats.

Diehard Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Some are legitimate charges.... others are manipulated by a flopping action. He definitely has toughness and grit and thought he was instrumental in the win ysday. He really played well. I don’t know if it was Parker or not but with about 1:00 to play Grapeland drove to the basket and a charge was called and basket was waved off and Sville got the ball and shot free throws on the following possession. Tenaha has a kid that knows how to sell a charge as well...As I have said all year Sville just plays clutch in the closing of the game and makes the correct plays to win the game. Seems like Buckley and Boykins turned it up a notch once the playoffs started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen7Dragon Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Marcus Horton and Parker both drew a charge late. I think it was Horton (6th man) that drew the last one with 1 minute to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Schmitt emphasizes these types of plays more than most coaches and actually does drills teaching the art. His practices in general are pretty much as intense as the 4th quarter of the game yesterday. I really tip my hat to him for being able to accomplish that feat. Not many can do it.

Definitely takes guts to stand there and take it in the chest sometimes from big guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fergton Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I think everything everyone is saying about Shelbyville players is spot on. I think where Shelbyville has a big advantage on everyone else is that guy on the sidelines, Coach Schmitt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not throwing shade at Coach at all but what makes Sville great is evbody knows their role in the team. Buckley- unstoppable scorer Boykins- cold blooded shooter from deep LD- defense stopper / master rebounder Parker- timely shooter/ hustle plays Hand- floor spacer /shooter Brinson/Horton-ball pressure/defenders IMO they all compliment each other wonderfully and play good team defense. Super special group of kids to be in the mix 3 years in a row......and it helps to have a 600 win coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cole and Kurtrick were really good on the previous teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
