I thought the same thing. Heavens forbid that Manila is just a little better than everyone else.

baller334 · January 23, 2019, 02:36:57 pm

I didn't mean to ruffle feathers guys lol. I'm just stating the obvious that most people outside of Manila know. Osceolas team from last year is easily 15 points better than Manila. Truman's team from last year is probably 5-10 better than Manila. Rivercrests team from last year wld be a really good game that could go either way. Corning's team from last year wld also be a really good game that wld go either way. I'm not bashing them at all, they have a good squad but nowhere near as good as last years bunch. JMO

I have been watching Manila basketball for a several years now and this is the best defensive team I have seen in a long time. The unselfishness of this group is unbelievable. They do not care who scores the most points or looks the best. They just want to win. I don't even have a child that plays at this level, I am just a fan that really enjoys watching them play. I will agree that Osceola is down this year but I do not think last years team is 15 points better.

I'm outside of Manila , What does this have to do with this year?
I believe the Bay team from I believe the 90s that beat Jonesboro could beat Osceola from last years team. By 10 points
Ceder Ridge over VV in triple OT in the NEA tourney by.. Wait , that happened
Or the lakers with Magic could beat most NBA teams right now.

baller334 · January 23, 2019, 05:06:32 pm

I totally agree with everything said. I'm not talking bad about this years Manila team at all. I was just simply saying that the conference is down this year and as I said I must have ruffled feathers.

biglion1985 · January 23, 2019, 10:47:03 pm

Or maybe manila's defense is that much better than last year

baller334 · January 24, 2019, 06:00:59 am

There defense might be a little better but I'm telling you it's just a combination of that and whether people want to admit or not the conference is considerably down this year. Again I'm sorry cause I guess it's a touchy subject for whatever reason.

biglion1985 · January 24, 2019, 06:45:59 am

Baller I get it that it's down this year but I have been to quite a few games up there this year and that defense is probably the best I have seen it in a while our offense isn't nearly as good as last year

baller334 · January 24, 2019, 08:16:59 am

+1 gotcha

STORM · January 27, 2019, 11:01:03 am

Baller334. Didn't last years Manila get beat bye BIC last year? Promise you this years team would probably get em home quicker this year! And just my opinion, Osceola Rivercrest & Gosnell are probably 20-25 pts. Better than the Mustangs THIS year. All 3 had the mercy rule early in 4th. Sorry don't mean to ruffle feathers but just the way I see it.

True but Osceola is 1-1 against Manila. It's hard to beat Manila at home lol

What in the world are you talking about???

RedWolf275 · January 27, 2019, 02:54:03 pm

Now that is a very good question.

STORM · January 27, 2019, 07:17:50 pm

I don't see Manila getting beat bye the Mustangs this year like last year, their league may be a little down from last year, Truman better than last year, Osceola had 1 loss when Manila beat them, think it was first game of year to rivercrest, they beat the dog snot out of my Rebels last year and this year, but hard to question which year is a better team. Seams like every time you see them in paper, their mercy ruling each night.

biglion1985 · January 27, 2019, 08:07:39 pm

Hey look as far as the Noles the way I seen it they didn't play good because if they played as good as past times no way we could've mercy ruled them. Not cutting my Lions down and i hope they win it but give credit where it is due the Noles will bounce back i believe good luck to all teams the rest of the way

So I have no idea what this conversation is about at all. I didn't know Hoxie was worth a flip last year and I sure don't remember them beating Manila.

Pretty sure it was referring to the BIC Mustangs not Hoxie.
