2014 2A State Championship(BOYS): Cedar Ridge vs. Clarendon(VOTE)

[Brian G]

More to come.

Game will be Fri or Sat and will announced on Wed around noon.

[Lions84]

Big Red got one more hurdle to bring home a State Title.  Go Lion's!

[MomaLion]

That was the most amazing game ever!!!

[Cheek]

Great win Clarendon.  Good luck in the finals.

[thabeast428]

Good luck to both from JC.

Cedar Ridge by 7

[BoxNOne]

I like Cedar Ridge by 12

[BrianfromCarlisle]

Clarendon by 6

[Batman44]

Haven't seen Clarendon play, so I'm sticking with CR!!

[baseball13]

I say CR by 13. It will be close but CR will hit free throws to end it. Free throws win championships and Clarendon would have lost both Monday and Tuesdays games if either team hit free throws. Clarendon is a good team don't get me wrong I just believe CR can play fast or slow Clarendon plays fast.

[keohog]

Clarendon in a close one.

[MomaLion]

This is the first time in the schools history that we are playing for a state title in basketball. There's a lot of pride on the line. Of course I vote for my Lions, it's their year.

[mtindian42]

im going with clarendon

[FD4]

One of two things will happen, either CR wins it at the line like the other poster said, or this game will look like a practice for CR.  The Lions must keep it close and convert or that old goose is cooked.  Good luck either way for both of these fine teams.

[Lions84]

Last State Basketball title for Clarendon was in the Mid 1950's under Coach Harding when we a class B school.

Go Big Red and win State.

[BICMUSTANG4LIFE]

I like it. The 2 teams playing for State championship we lost to both by like 8pts combined.  Sticking with our region & going with Cedar Ridge

[bdubyab60]

If Calrendon pulls it off its definitely an upset in my book. I think CR is just to good. Wouldnt mind seeing the upset just for the sake of seeing an upset though.

CR by 15. Clarendon keeps it close until the second half and CR closes it out from the line. If CR comes out like they did against EPC hitting everything they put up, well lets not talk about that.

[Donnie Jamon]

Sat 7:45 pm is the day and time for CR and Clarendon

Mr Johnny Ellis told us last night that we haven't won a state title since the gym was built...I think he said in the 50s...he didn't know before that. The whole town came out to welcome them home last night

It was Brian...they had a police escort and the whole town lined the street to honk and yell and followed them to the gym. We had the football field lit up and everything lol. It may seem like overkill to most of y'all but this is HUGE for us 

[brock]

CR by 14.

I agree

Thanks for the support 

[aroundthehorn1]

After seeing BIC play both teams tough, I'm gonna say that Cedar Ridge wins this game by 14. I think it'll be back and forth early but CR is just too consistent on both ends for the whole game. Good luck to both teams in the finals though. Just proud to say that our last 2 losses came to the 2 teams playing for the championship!

[Lions84]

Lions will Get R Done .   

[mychal6419]

Lions +1 that's all it takes.

[MomaLion]

I've never been to one of these games. Do they clear the arena between games or can you watch more than just yours?  Also, it is general admission seating, right? No seating assignments?  Of course we want to try to be together as much as possible.

[THA TRUTH]

Yes to both u can watch as many as u want and sit wherever u like they just clear the student sections at the ends of the court after each game

[Lions84]

BIG RED in a upset.

[BrianfromCarlisle]

Clarendon.  And I don't think it's an upset if a team with 1 loss wins it all

[HorseFeathers]

Depends how you look at it....Cedar Ridge be the defending champs after all...

[BrianfromCarlisle]

I just don't think a team with one loss can be considered a big underdog.  I agree that CR is favored.  Just that a win by Clarendon can't be out of the realm of possibility.   That's all that I meant.

[MomaLion]

We are proud of them for getting there and just hope they play their best. This year may be a dress rehearsal for next year 

[Lions84]

I hope they close the Deal and gives CR loss #4.

[BearFan12]

Good luck cr bring it home tonight. I wish I could be there will be great game, but cr brings home number 2 I think.

[MomaLion]

I'm not saying Clarendon will win it but Clarendon CAN win it. Those LIONS are hungry and CR is cocky. Go Lions and show them some humility...we love you win or lose!!!

[ISU7]

We are proud of them for getting there and just hope they play their best. This year may be a dress rehearsal for next year 

Hmmmm!!! with Earle loaded and dropping down to 2A and EPC maybe getting the best player in the state back, better dress warm...lol

[MomaLion]

If we spend our time worrying about everyone else instead of playing our game, we've defeated ourselves.

[Batman44]

Ol' Batman headed down to watch CR win another.

[BearFan12]

Confident not cocky.The kids from cr are good kids talked to them after games and every one I talked are yes sir no sir don't get that very often any more. Go CEDAR RIDGE!

[Lions84]

Got a report the State Title game shirts they were trying to sell tonite had Clarendon Tigers on them.

[MomaLion]

Yep 84, every one of them.
As for the yes sir no sir, most kids will say that to adults but that doesn't make them good kids...not saying they are bad mind you, just that you can't always tell.

[BrianfromCarlisle]

Wow!  Clarendon Tigers? 

[Lions84]

Since the facts could have been verified with a simple Google search some one needs to be fired.

[BrianfromCarlisle]

Or just not be a complete moron.  Lol. They should be ashamed
