Kt0r Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 No disrespect to Bushland, but I'm not sure there is a single kid that would start for Ponder. Tomorrow's game should be a classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KHSAlum400 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Here is my view. If you took the "second string" of Tatum and taught them how to handle the ball and play basketball like Ponder, Brock or Peaster that "second string" would beat Tatum eveytime. No doubt Tatum is athletic and just wear people down, but is that basketball? lol That makes zero sense! The same scenario can be used in reverse in try to get Ponder, Brock, and Peaster to full court press the whole game. Different styles for different programs. If you don't have the athletes you can't do what teams like Tatum and Kountze do, which is run the whole game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHSAlum400 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Good job today by Tatum! Didn't let an off shooting performance effect their defense!! Bring it home tomorrow Nope! My old coach always said no matter how bad of an offensive performance you have, if you play tough defense you'll give yourself a chance to win most of those games you're off...

So you don't think an athletic team, that is just as fast as Tatum, and knew how to handle and pass the ball couldn't beat the press? Heck Ponder will beat it tomorrow, just imagine what they could do if they were as athletic as Tatum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we are imagining dumb and pointless stuff let us imagine what Ponder would be like in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTownFiddler Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Oh and shout out to the cool dude wearing a Tatum shirt that said. Tatum: recruiting from Longview to Maine. Funny. Saw that guy, dont think many Tatum folks found much humor in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck Ponder will beat it tomorrow, just imagine what they could do if they were as athletic as Tatum. Kountze is about as familiar with Tatum's pressure as anyone. In their game last weekend I think there were 60 turnovers... 36 for Tatum and 24 for Kountze. I think Kountze did fairly well except for the lapse they had in the 3rd quarter when they had about 4 turnovers in a row. All you need is a PG who can penetrate and create his own shot.

iball2 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 The Rockwell kids dad took a job transfer with his company to right outside of Tatum, so he is not a recruit. But as for kids from Longview and Marshall.............well who knows, I do. Tatum vs Ponder, wow. On paper Ponder should win, but Tatum is very athletic and coach Carr will make adjustments, so you never know. I think it will go down to the wire with .....winning. Recruit from Marshall and Longview?I think not better yet I know not!!! and that's a Fact!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
