ICC goes to MVE

[Weiser]

ICC will be at MVE on Friday January 4, 2019, JRB, SG and SB will play, games start at 5:00 PM.  Should be some great talent on the floor that night.

MVE senior girls by 10
ICC senior boys by 20+

I don't know about ICC's Jr. boys, but I know ours, ICC by 20 or more here too.

Thought about going....But that's a long drive to see ICC win big...

[riccoar]

That's two big ones.  MVE plays ICC and then picks back up with conference at Concord on the 8th.

[Weiser]

Yes, but you do not get better till you play others that are better.

[riccoar]

Yes, but you do not get better till you play others that are better.

100% agree.  I wish coaches would get into the habit of scheduling the larger classification schools close to them for non-conference.  Great way, IMHO, to push and motivate a team.

[Flobbito]

Yes, but you do not get better till you play others that are better.

A problem I see with small schools I general and MVE in particular is that they schedule teams that have either a good boys team or a good girls team in non-conference play. Because we are a small school with limited resources they almost have to go to the same place to play, I see larger classifications early in the season go different ways to play quality opponents. For our girls team they didn't play a tough opponent until they met Wonderview and Rural in the same week and lost both by single digits.  Since then they have only lost to Bauxite and Quitman I tournament play. I think that the last two years they could have really benefitted from playing tougher opponents early.

I agree 100% with you!!

[Flobbito]

ICC up 41-37 after 3.

[Oxford Cat]

63-47 ICC. MVE played well. Good atmosphere. Btw the best route to Brockwell from this side of the lake is north through Batesville.

[Flobbito]

ICC wins 63-47, game went about like I thought it would be, hung with them until the fourth quarter, then we got tired, and frustrated and missed easy shots, committed silly turnovers, and made stupid fouls. ICC had about 5 and 1's late in the game. Faulkner is the real deal and Cooper wasn't as sharp as I remember from last year.

Cougars get a good road win. They will be tough to beat at home in the state tournament. ICC was the only school to bid on 1A state tourney. The Cougars will likely get to play the regionals close by at Calico Rock too.

Glad the tournament will be in north Arkansas.
