State Championship: Mayflower vs. Episcopal

[Eagle20]

ECS is a outstanding team with a very smart coach and will win this game by 30. Mayflower is not a bad team but 3A seemed to be down this year plus a very easy draw in the state tourney. ECS played the second best team in 3A today.

I don't believe for a minute Charleston is the second best team.  Over rated most years.

[HeadTiger]

That's the truth

[WPWells]

Let's look back at the last seven Charleston seasons:

Won six straight conference championships
Won five out of the last six district championships
Played in seven straight regional finals
Won five out of those seven
Won at least one game in five straight state tournaments
Four out of those five made the semis
And twice made the state championship

[Longfellow]

Wow! Charleston overrated. Losing fenner, king, Ty storey, and Hayden Newhart this year still played in the semifinals. Better than most teams would do.

[BigMan15]

This year Ward carried this team and honestly i think they did great considering what they lost. Next year they will have some big issues but the last two years at Charleston were the best teams that Charleston will have for many years. Very hard to replace Ward and Smith. Looking forward to see what they look like next year.

No State Championships??

No hate grandpa wildcat. Nothing but love for the game and the joy of seeing great kids achieve great things. At the end of the day it's their personal victories that will hopefully mold them into honorable  men and women. If I say things that pee anyone off its just by coincidence and not by choice. So toughen up buttercup. Ha!! We have a great weekend of basketball ahead of us!!

Toughen up? Sounds like you are the one that needs to toughen up...private schools aren't going to play in their own league any time in the near future, so you should just get used to it "buttercup"

Haha. I was trying to be nice grand pops... You're too uptight.  Relax and enjoy today. ]

Chase Ewing could start next year..no offense but him and rowland would be ur best scorers and that might be rough...but saying that a kid can have a good summer and change that

Hey lets keep this to Mayflower and

[teachers pet]

Is this a Charleston page or a page discussing the championship game?

[BigMan15]

My bad ill take ECS 75-42

[Grover42]

Mayflower 61 ECS 56

[teachers pet]

ECS 68 Mayflower 45

[HorseFeathers]

fixed that title for you 12th Man.....

[Beast Boy]

It would be a morale victory for Mayflower to stay within 10 points of Ecs.

Mayflower coach needs to talk to Jessieville coach and get his game plan for ECS. They played them close in the conference finals.

Two different teams , Mayflower isn't capable of doing what Jessieville did. Ball handlers aren't strong enough and aren't coached the same. They will run with ECS and might do ok for a qtr or so.
Just a bad match up for Mayflower

I don't think Mayflower to try their same gameplay against ECS. They will have some tricks coming out of the gates. If they are still hot from three, it could go either way. This is the state championship, remember. Mayflower is not going to lie down and let themselves be beat.

[neds]

They may not lie down, but they will get beaten

Sometimes, you just can't stop the beating, Just ask the Earle posters, if you can find one.

Whatever happens in this game, major props to Mayflower.  This has been a weird season with teams being up and down a lot.  I didn't think Mayflower would be in this game but maybe they are the team that should be. 

[neds]

No doubt they earned their way into the final

[jr17]

They started playing their best basketball at the exact right time. I'm so proud of this team. These seniors are the winnigest group of athletes to ever come through mayflower. Hopefully they can cap off their great careers with the big one. Looking forward to a exciting game. Go EAGLES!!

[WildcatGrandpa13]

Gameday! Can't wait for this afternoon! Hope to see many FF regulars at the game

I don't expect this game to be like the other 3 this year.  Mayflower is putting it together after a weird season with JP coming back midway and then some injuries, and I know they have a talented team. Last year the first two games vs ECS were pretty competitive, and I think this one will be as well. ECS should win, but Mayflower is playing with house money really, nothing to lose, so I bet they come out loose and confident. Should be interesting.
And this is a great group of seniors at Mayflower. Even though I hope they go out with a loss, they should be proud of what they have accomplished. I have enjoyed watching them the past 3 seasons.

Can't you get the (in)famous Charleston announcer to do the play by play?

[neds]

All-Stars... I kinda like it.
Thanks for the compliment.

You're welcome, rebel.....  At least someone can appreciate sense of humor.

Gosh , I heard the news that baseball starts early for you. No World championship this year . .

You did a good job on the last one!

[WPWells]

If someone from mayflower could get me a roster with names and numbers of major players then I can give names for both teams

57 - 40 Episcopal wins no. 2 in a row
Nice job seniors!

[WPWells]

55 - 40 Episcopal wins no. 2 in a row
Nice job seniors!

Coach Marsh pulled the three senior starters in the last minute. I know I won't miss seeing the Geese and Martin defeat my Tigers anymore!

[Idoknow]

Thanks 12th, great job on the game post. Sorry wrong thread!

[jr17]

Hey. Great season everyone.

[WPWells]

My thought after watching this game is that it's a shame that Mayflower and Charleston never got to play because that would be an excellent game

[NEark tigers]

Well, the Episcopal Corporation $chool wins it all with "recruited" talent in a very down 3A season.

Let's party!!!

Now you're at least 5 titles away from traditional superpower status....

Please don't "drop a dime" on me....LOL😆

Your such a loser!

[smallybells]

Man that guy has more venom in his veins than me! Hand picked talent or not, you accomplshed what you set out to do, congrats. Now, boost your enrollment and move up a classification or two :-P

[neds]

That guy is a real piece of work.

Sorry ECS will always be a small private school, just their charter. They have been on a nice run for the last 4 years, an Elite 8 a final and then back to back state titles. They will be good next year, but I don't see a repeat. Strong at guards, but no way you replace the Geese.
Paris may be the early favorite. I also think the 3A 3 will continue to make a strong come back. Harding will also be good and Jessieville will be real tough.

[hornethigh-mhs]

Who was the mvp?

[NEark tigers]

That's laughable.....

Never a loser when u win SEVEN TITLES!!!!

Some of y'all boys need help😃😃😃😃😃.....

[smallybells]

Are you 12 or something?

[Head Lion]

Congrats ECS, a worthy champion. Also to Mayflower nice run.
