They do not have the talent to beat the elite.
It’s ok not to be an elite team.
Wood,
3 losses-don’t think the Kentucky ones hurt them.
Lol at Step being the best team in Westchester.
MV doesn’t play teams locally where a win does them no good and the non league team will act like they won the Federation. Where is Naim Thomas from?—kid can play.
STATESDAGAWD,
UNLESS THEY CHANGED THE RULES,I REMEMBER WHEN MV WAS A 6 SEED,BECAUSE THEY LOST TOUGH GAMES ON THEIR NATIONAL SCHEDULE,AND STILL WON THE GOLD BALL
HE IS FROM POUGHKEEPSIE
I submit.. After watching Step last night I am going to recognize them as one of the greatest HS teams ever to come out of Westchester County and possibly the Tri-State area. This team is as good as any team Bob Hurley has produced, better than 1971 MV team with Gus and Earl and easily on the same page as Oak Hill and Montrose..Where have I been my whole basketball life.
People, get a grip.. They are just an average team..
Space,
Are there any serious comments on here saying stepinac is some elite national team? After watching mv against loughlin and step so far this year, I think mv/step would b a very entertaining game. After mv loses to loughlin by 20, I think you have to realize some other team and it’s fans are going to think they could play with mv. In another season it could’ve been peekskill, Iona, etc. Step actually plays loughlin later this year so we all can see how Both mv and step matchup to a common opponent
HOOPS FAN,
MV STILL HAS A GAME WITH NO TEAM TO PLAY YET?
MOUNT VERNON VS CORDOZA TODAY AT 12
AT MOUNT VERNON HIGH SCHOOL
SCRIMMAGE GAME
Haywood,
I think step has a filled schedule. I’d like to see the game. Not sure why mv has an open date so late in the year – that usually means someone backed out of a game or a showcase fell through. Regardless of who wins, at this point Step/MV would be the matchup of the year in westchester – as fans, we should all want to see it.
100%,I AGREE ,WEST POINT ON SUNDAY-MOUNT VERNON VS BISHOP KEARNEY
Haywood …. There was a tournament game and the sponsor backed out, thanks for the Cordoza heads up. I will be there.
Hoops.. Your right. I just get caught up in the “Step is the best team in the area” stuff. Then we have these Wack A Mole fans who pop their heads out of ground with the comments about MV running away from local schools.. Drives me crazy. My sarcasm was a bit much.
Your a smart man and I’ll tell you this. MV played Loughlin without Martin, and that’s big. They also had Jalen in foul trouble after 4 minutes and Yanni in the dog house. That means 3 of their big men who play most of the game not on the court…That’s a big difference. The final score of that game means nothing..
Wood,
I think they changed the rule b/c of it. I remember the 6 seed shirts MV wore when they rolled to the chip, lol.
He’s from PK… Who would have knew
. Was posting off another browser earlier so Statesdagawd came out.
STATESMAN,
WHEN IS IT THAT POK PLAYS AT NEW ROC IN NEW ROCHELLE
Wood,
Saturday, the 12th versus Saunders. I’m looking forward to seeing Saunders play. Very good team and well coached. It’ll be a nice litmus test to see where the Pioneers need to improve at the mid-season point. Weir and Knight should be back by then which just adds to the depth.
STATESMAN,
SAUNDERS VS EASTCHESTER
POK VS WHITE PLAINS
MIDDLETOWN VS NEW RO
Wood,
I stand corrected. Kind of wish it was Saunders, maybe WP will be better by then.
STATESMAN,
MVP IN NFL?
ROOKIE OF YEAR NFL?
Wood,
MVP Toss-up between AP and P.Manning. Manning is mazing but what AP did on that leg is something that defies all scientific reasoning.
Rookie of the Year: Tough, for the first time ever it may have to be tri. RG3, Luck, Wilson all led their teams to the playoffs and broke records in their own right.
Sucks to be Alfred Morris this year. Any other year, he’d be in the discussion.
SUPERBOWL TEAMS?
Tough one. I’ll take a look at the pairings and will get back.
Wood,
I could go terribly wrong here. Seahawks vs Pats.
