I didn’t realize as of 3-12 NYS rankings
#1 Maginn
#2 Mt Vernon
#3 Lincoln
GO KNIGHTS!!
seems like it’s a game of runs for each side
thanks for updates kevin
Well, I see a theme here, first quarter star players fouled at Glens Falls, didn’t that just happen to Peekskill star Jones, who also had early fouls??? whats going on up there Kev… Are those refs ok? And where are the stats from the last game?
10 min, no update?, come back kev!
umm?
20 min, no update???
Halftime: Mount Vernon holds a 31-23 lead at the half.
C’mon Kev, I understand the Internet connection is unreliable, but you can give more insight into the game and who’s doing what.
4:26: Tied at 34.
some close regular season battles will help MT Vernon down the stretch today!
whats the foul situation?
good timeout by coach c at 34-34
great job
lol, I remember when I was younger I would have to wait until the 6am paper delivery to find out how the local teams did!
Kevin has spoiled us.
sorry kev, i’m sittin in a ski lodge in jackson hole wy trying to get score’s
i’m spoiled
Thanks for the frequent updates Kev…it’s appreciated.
damn! updates were terrific whole 2nd half thanks
So much for the Undefeated and Unstoppable. Both Peekskill and Mt. Vernon were nowhere near as good as Kevin or anyone else was making them out to be. This just proves it.
Thank you Kev!!! Your the best just please stats
wow! great updates, Kev and fast so many MV turnovers? was it a press or just bad ball handling?
Just in: Ralph Watts is transferring to Maginn.
Black Saturday for Section 1 Boys Hoops
Its a long ride down the thruway for Section 1. Maybe instead of rockstars and royalty we can now go back to realizing these are kids. I love the coverage but I hope in the future we all understand that these are high schoolers and not pros. Good luck to all of the graduating players from both Mt. V and Peekskill.
Watts
DeWitt beat Maginn ergo Watts to DeWitt(The Best Team in NYS) how about Holy Cross?
The question now is whether this will be Coach Lou’s last game?
tomaso
wrong again maybe coach C sh played the Peek after all for the better competition and preparation
If who ever was at this game answer me this that would be solid
Was this a case of MV losing the game or did Magnin win it and they were just better than their opponent?
Kev can i have the stats from the game pleese!!!!!
MV just lost this GAME! Very bad ball control. MV could have steam rolled this B.Maginn in th 4th qtr b/c they were giving up but MV just kept them in the game by throwing the ball away and not going to Kevin Jones. Maybe ther was some arguments or tension that we didnt know of before the game in the locker room. I never seen 4 straight turnovers in a row by any MV guards in history. They threw the ball away 4 straight times in a row 2 completely thrown to no one and 2 into B.Maginn defenders hands. Section 1 should really look into investigating the guards from MV for point shaving or check some bank accounts this was a awwfulll display of ball posession by MV. they didn’t pass into the post to Kevin Jones hardly at all. Buie was locked up in the 1st half but finished very strong and played well the whole Game….
It wasn’t four straight turnovers, it was six in the last 3:52, all by Ketama Brooks. I feel sorry for him, he is a much better player than what he showed today.
The five second call was a killer. You cannot have that happen. It’s just uncalled for.
My only wish is that these type of High School games have three refs. This is not basketball from 1980. These kids are too big, too fast and cover too much ground to have only two refs. One ref is watching the low post, the other is watching the ball, who’s watching the weak side? Who’s watching what’s happening on the other side of the ball once a shot goes up? This is why fans are constantly screaming about pushing in the back, over the top, weakside reach ins, walks, etc. Nothing is called because the refs can’t see it.
Big time HS basketball needs three refs, period. No excuse for not having it.
Thanks totally forgot about the 5 second call.
unbiased –
LOL! We were talking about the same thing at the game (point shaving), although it was in a joking manner. At one point it got so ridiculous with #14, we seriously thought something was wrong with the guy physically. This was the reason behind the loss, plain and simple. MV was a much better team overall, but you can’t have that many consecutive giveaways and win against even a mediocre team.
