England vs. Clarendon Round 3

[FoxandHound34]

Let's get it started who ya got?? For all the marbles this time

[RiverRat82]

 The way Clarendon is playing defense right now my money is with the Mighty RED LIONS!! 

Clarendon lost to England twice during the season at England.  57-50 early season  and 58-55 last regular season game. 

The basketball God is with Clarendon.  Go Red Lions!!!

[bigworm]

Well, im sure this will be a game for the ages. There are only a couple  things certain. One is that the Lions will take the title. Second is that bigbaby is gonna tell us how bad the red lions are gonna whoop the purple lions. Haha. Im as excited to see his posts as i am about the game. It's hard to beat a team 3 times in one year but its about to happen in a few short days. But we will let bigbaby come take a pic with the big trophy any time he wants.

[keohog]

Game time 1:45 Saturday.

[birddawg1986]

Didn't get the chance to see England play but man it sure is tuff to beat someone 3 times in one season.

[Ctucker]

If any of y'all like Sea Food. Cajun Boilers is good eating! And I know that has absolutely nothing to do with game! But it's on Albert Pike!

[MomaLion]

We're ready for the challenge. These kids want it and if they continue to play like they have since regionals,  they'll win it.

[RedWolf275]

I like England by 5

[bigworm]

Yea yea yea. The problem for your red lions is that they havent had to play the purple lions lately.

[RiverRat82]

Yea yea yea. The problem for your red lions is that they havent had to play the purple lions lately.

Last regular season game  England won AT ENGLAND by 3  58-55.  So I think the red Lions will be pumped and ready to take on the Purple cubs.   Earle beat Clarendon twice this year before we beat them in the championship game of the regional tournament.  I assure you Clarendon will be ready and willing to line it on the line for Maalik and themselves.  Do NOT sell Clarendon short.

[MomaLion]

Yea yea yea. The problem for your red lions is that they havent had to play the purple lions lately.

The same can be said of y'all. We're not the same team as I'm sure y'all aren't.

[bigworm]

The same can be said of y'all. We're not the same team as I'm sure y'all aren't.

Oh, we are the same team. Im just pickin tho mama. Trying to get bigbaby stirred up. Im sure its gonna be a barn burner.

[bigworm]

My son just told me Maalik hurt himself saturday. He ok?

[KINGC]

It always is 

[MomaLion]

My son just told me Maalik hurt himself saturday. He ok?

Not sure yet...it's the same knee...they were saying at the game that it's just bruised but we'll see.  He had it checked out after the first injury and was given the ok to play.

[bigworm]

No doubt about it. Hope he gets healed up. Win or lose i never like to see kids get hurt.

[birddawg1986]

I dont think Clarendon makes it this far if MC doesn't miss any games. I think many times the other 4 stood and watched him. Clarendon was one point away in the district first round for there season to be over. Clarendon had kids step up and take control with MC and did really good in district after that. There confidence and momentum carried over to regionals a d state with MC back in the lineup. I'll take the Red Lions

[Jesus Saves]

Any word on Cartwright?  Was he cleared to play?

[MomaLion]

We're preparing for him not to play but there's no official word yet.  I have no doubt that we'll be ready for battle.

[AR Ball Junkie]

DG is reporting that Malik is out......torn ACL. From coach Hudson.

[Lions84]

I believe Clarendon gets it done! Historical it very hard to beat anybody 3 times in a single season!
Go Big Red!

[MomaLion]

He may not be able to play, but he will be there peer coaching.

I hate to see a kid get hurt anytime. I really hate to see one out for a game like this.

[AR Ball Junkie]

Clarendon has been playing great defense through the regionals and state.  England has been equally as good on the defensive end.  Clarendon may have a little more talent on the offensive end.  England may be a little more physical than Clarendon.  England has a guy, Dodson, avg. more than 10+ boards a game.....can Clarendon/Williams keep him off the offensive boards.  The best matchup may be with the guards....Bonner and Davis.  Both players are showing their best at the right time.  Bonner scored 21 against LC and outplayed Dedner on both ends of the floor.  Davis put up 34 against a good Earle team.   

Last time these teams played, Cartwright only played the 1st quarter if my memory serves me correctly.  England was able to overcome a halftime deficit and defeat Clarendon by a score of 58-55. 

I'm expecting a tight game throughout....making free throws down the stretch may be the difference.  First team to 50 may win this game. 

My prediction:  I'll take the Lions by 1.  Lol. 

[MomaLion]

Yes Malik was out during the 1st on the last meeting.

[Bigditchlion]

Go purple lions!!! Congratulations to both teams making it to the championship!

[Cheek1]

Momma lion will be making excuses around 3pm tomorrow

They need to review #15 for England shot in regulation at the 1:21 mark. I've rewound and slow motioned it. I believe he actually made the shot.
