Welcome to Saturday morning’s Final Four debut for the #1 seed Wildcats (34-1) against the #4 seed Laurel Christian Rams (22-6) starting at 10:am
Laurel edged Kokomo in a tightly contested contest. Kokomo led for three quarters, but wilted under the constant pressure from the Rams. The Rams apply pressure from start to finish, using a full court trap and both 3-2 and 2-3 zone defenses. The Rams and Wildcats met in November with the Wildcats running away with a 104-71 win. I don’t know what the total single game scoring record is for the ICBA Final Four, but it could be in serious jeopardy to survive this game still intact.
Here is the Max preps link for Laurel
I will also give you the Wildcats Max Preps link http://www.maxpreps.com/indiana/basketball/indianapolis-homeschool-wildcats-(indianapolis)/schedule.aspx?schoolid=471eaa05-ad84-438b-ad70-9fd0723a906a&gendersport=boys,basketball&urpath=,local,team
In the other final four contest, #2 seed Huntington takes on the # 3 seed Golden Eagles. Both teams won hotly contested games and will meet at 11:30 following our game. We have two teams who use pressure defense to create offensive mismatches in transition. Our bench will provide an obstacle that they will be hard pressed to overcome. In addition they do not have a deep bench and playing on a college size floor will take the air out of their game. We will need to knock down threes, hit the cutters and keep pressure on their guards at all times. It should be a very entertaining game.
Tip off is scheduled for 10:00 am – tune in about that time and we should be up and running
If we win, the Championship game has been scheduled for 7:45 pm following the girl’s championship game between the #1 Huntington Eagles and the #2 Indianapolis Trailblazers which is scheduled to start at 6:00pm.
Both games will be held at the Hutzell Athletic Center at St Francis University, 2701 Spring Street in Ft Wayne. Directions can be found at this link - http://www.sf.edu/tour/directions.shtml
