Saturday's Preview And Predictions

... saddled with foul trouble against Newton but broke back to the tune of 15 points, six rebounds and four blocked shots against Kennedy. The Trojans blocked 10 shots total against Kennedy. Probably Valley’s best player here has been 6-foot-8 senior center Charley Crowley. He had 20 points against Des Moines North and 25 against Sioux City East. Six-foot-six senior forward Quinton Curry missed the majority of the season with a knee injury but has returned to make a huge difference. He had 17 points and 13 rebounds against Des Moines North. Five Valley players average between 8.3 and 10.9 points. Johnson says: How West deals with Valley’s size will be telltale. The Trojans certainly have the advantage in the backcourt. This will be close, but the feeling is West gets its revenge. SATURDAY’S OTHER GAMES. Class 3 A consolation: No. 2 Waverly-Shell Rock ...

Xavier Was Forced To Use A Backup Point Guard, And It Made Him An X-factor

... their next 12 threes, facing a Xavier team that normally plays zone only “as a backup plan,” according to Goodin. By the time P. J. Savoy broke the missed-threes skein with 8:55 left in the game, the Musketeers led 69-50. “We knew they were very quick, very fast and very big,” Goodin said. “We knew we were going to play some zone because of that and, fortunately for us, it worked very well. We kept them away from the basket, and their shots weren’t going in.”. Florida State finished 4 for 21 from outside the three-point line. Xavier made 11 of 17 and blew the game open when J. P. Macura and Gates hit back-to-back threes to push a lead that had been stuck at 55-45 for several minutes to 61-45.
