December 2, 200322 yr We lost to our archrival Independence 47-32. I didn't score, but I didn't take any shots either. Score by Quarter Team 1 2 3 4 Final Independence 18 19 6 4 47 Oelwein 0 8 6 18 32 That first half really really hurt us. The big change was instead of the 1-3-1 we played in the first half, we played a 2-3 and really shut them down in the second half. We also took 7 charges.
December 2, 200322 yr Author Ah ouch....the season's long though...what position do you play? I'm 5' 7" so I play guard. I really need to work on my passing and offense, but my defense was better than I thought it'd be. We get these guys again Jan. 15 in JV play. We know we can beat them. I'll see if I can't get a pic of me in my uni up.
December 2, 200322 yr How'd ya do? Ya get in? Don't worry 'bout it, I won't see a second of mat time this season for MSU in an official match anyways.
December 2, 200322 yr Author How'd ya do? Ya get in? Don't worry 'bout it, I won't see a second of mat time this season for MSU in an official match anyways. I played probably what amounted to 8-12 minutes in a 32 minute game. I'm the seventh guy on a seven man team. I committed some stupid turnovers but thats how the first half went. I probably had like 4 in the first half but none in the second.
December 2, 200322 yr Bench. Niiiiice.....Hey, but you'll get your PT this year. You made the team, you're obviously decent.
December 2, 200322 yr Author Niiiiice.....Hey, but you'll get your PT this year. You made the team, you're obviously decent. There's only like 15 people out for Varsity/JV basketball. Here in NE Iowa, you don't try out for a sport. If you're there for pracice, you're on the team.
December 2, 200322 yr Just worry about getting better, and have confidence in yourself, you'll do fine.
December 2, 200322 yr Just worry about getting better, and have confidence in yourself, you'll do fine. Exactly....Confidence is a big thing...It definitely doesn't help if you're expecting to miss the shot etc..
December 2, 200322 yr Author Hoosiers you guys aint Go gettem Heads! No, we're the Huskies. Get it right.
December 2, 200322 yr Hoosiers is an awesome movie, I can't get enough of it Best. Movie. Ever. BTW just a footnote, the fight song of "Hickory HS" is the reallife fight song for Manchester HS in North Manchester IN, home of the Manchester Squires, where yours truely spent 3 years broadcast HS basketball including IN HS state finals in 1995. Remember Bryce Drew?

December 2, 200322 yr Indeed it is.....I'm in Indiana, where basketball is a religion and 'Hoosiers' is our bible. Where at?
December 2, 200322 yr No, we're the Huskies. Get it right. Definately. Gene Hackman would never let you clowns give up an 18-0 run in the first quarter.
December 2, 200322 yr Author Definately. Gene Hackman would never let you clowns give up an 18-0 run in the first quarter. Our coach really kicks ass though. He handles players great. He set out goal to win the second half...we did 24-10. He also let us change our defense from a 1-3-1 to a 2-3 in the second half.
December 2, 200322 yr The name Bryce Drew sounds super firmiliar. It should. That was the guy that hit the huge 3pointer to push Valpo U to the upset win in the NCAA tourney 4 years ago, to one of the best finishes in the history of the NCAA tourney. He played for your very own Chicago Bulls. His dad Homer Drew is the long time coach of Valpo U, and his brother went down to take over as his brother Scott Drew went down to rebuild the Baylor U program after the tragic happenings there
