Parkview vs Harrison

[Ponca]

Gotta start this thread.

Not gonna lie. Since I moved from Harrison to West Helena this is the possible matchup that they've been talking about in Harrison since Parkview dropped from 6A to 5A in the offseason. This is the dream team that Harrison has been waiting on for years and knew it was a state contender when they were in 8th grade. Then the Parkview dropdown.

This game had to happen. Some will wonder why this is in the 2nd round (and why Mills will play Maumelle in the 2nd roud) but it was going to happen.

It's time!

Let's go Goblins!

KNOW YOUR OPPONENT

According to Rivals, LR Parkview has 2 4-star recruits that have both committed to Arkansas. Garland and Henderson.

Unless Harrison goes zone and really slows the game down offensively in the half court parkview wins by double digits easily.

[mijally]

Try the Hack-a-View strategy. Make their bigs beat you from the free throw line. Bring in subs to eat up fouls and get PV in the bonus then foul their bigs inside. If their bigs shoot 50% like they usually do you got a shot. 

[Ponca]

Looks like Parkview is 9-deep. Only 2 Seniors (beware next year 5A).

#3 Khallil Garland SR - G - 6'4", 180 - Rivals 3-Star - Arkansas commit - 146 overall
#22 Javon Franklin SR- F - 6'6", 185 - Rivals 3-Star - Not committed
#33 Ethan Henderson JR - F - 6'8", 185 - Rivals 4-Star - Arkansas commit - 80 overall
#32 Caleb Stokes JR - C - 6'7, 230 - Rivals 3-Star - Not committed
#24 Curtis White JR - G - 6'4, 185 - Rivals Listed - Not committed
#2 Allen Flanigan SO
#21 Moses Moody FR
#5 Larodrius Terry JR
#4 Ahmarri Farr JR

I hope Harrison can hang on! This game will be a great, they experienced enough heartbreak last year in the first round, would love to see them take down the sure thing champions, they deserve it.

[businesstron]

I hope Harrison doesn't try to run with them like they tried to with Maumelle last week.  If they do that again they will lose for sure.   There's alot of players on this Parkview team if playoff experience.  Franklin and Garland done been there forever and I think Henderson has been playing since he was a freshman as well.  I only saw them in the Jammin for jackets final but they didn't look as good as they looked last year and they was weird because they had most of their good players back. Regardless though they should win.

Can't find a 2016-2017 team image of Harrison, so here's a photo of Local Flavor



Harrison generally plays the first 7 kids listed below but can go as far as 11-deep to compete.

#11 Trevor Atwell SR - 6'5" - Committed to Southwest Baptist
#32 Tanner Curry SR - 5'11" - Signed with Newman College
#22 Jackson Marseilles SR - 6'4" - Signed with Arkansas Tech (Golf)
#20 Braedon Boren SR - 5'10"
#35 Nathan Jenkins SR - 6'2"
#15 Jake Wynn SR - 5'10"
#5 Skyler Young JR - 6'6"
#14 Carson Journagan SO - 6'3"
#23 Noah Ditmanson JR - 6'2"
#2 Colton Youngblood JR - 6'4"
#25 Chris McCuistion JR - 6'4"

Look for Harrison to pack that zone, get it down the court quick when they have numbers and when they don't utilize a lot of ball movement which they are great at and light it up from beyond the arc which they are also really good at.

Beware of Parkview Freshman Moody...he starts for Parkview as a freshman, kid CAN PLAY!!!!!

That was what blew me away when I was doing my research and why I listed him in the Parkview 9-deep above. There are not many teams in Arkansas history if any that have 5 players on the roster listed on Rivals. And this Frosh is not only getting significant playing time but starting as well? My guess is he'll end up being listed on Rivals one day too.

By this summer I would imagine.

For Harrison to have success, they will have to make Parkview beat them from the perimeter and minimize offensive rebounds and transition baskets. Parkview is not consistent shooting the 3 but they create offense with their speed and length.

Time for the Main Event....

Good luck to both teams.

Go Gobs!!!

Harrison 12

End of 1st

[theflash10]

I've wondered this for a few years, I believe the team with Aaron Ross at Parkview is when they started, but why do they wear dominant color bottoms with home tops? I think NLR did it in the finals against Bentonville a couple years ago also and I've seen a couple D1 schools do it.

Harrison 24
Parkview 32
Half.

Comments are welcomed..

[theflash10]

Parkview can sky for the boards. I think the first two 3's stunned the Gobs a little bit. Harrison will need someone else to get hot from deep besides Atwell. Harrison has done well keeping the pace slowed down I think, but you can tell Parkview can bust out at any chance they get.

[Go Postal]

I believe #11 had 11 pts.  Gobs need to not leave him to make shots from perimeter.  Gobs need to make shots and keep controlling tempo.

[Yellowcake]

Is this game happening now? I left after the PA girls game. I can't imagine Harrison coming within 20 of Parkview. Maybe they will surprise me.

[theflash10]

Big 5 point sequence for Atwell. 3 in transition and dunk to tie. Gobs up 35-34 with 3:30 in the third.

In the obvious category, this hurts Harrison big time.

Start fouling now. Bring in subs and foul. That's the only chance.

Foul calls seem to be getting touchier

Looks like that is what they're doing with Atwell and Ditmanson.

FINAL 67-50 Parkview

[Ponca]

I've wondered this for a few years, I believe the team with Aaron Ross at Parkview is when they started, but why do they wear dominant color bottoms with home tops? I think NLR did it in the finals against Bentonville a couple years ago also and I've seen a couple D1 schools do it.

Parkview has always done that. I remember blue shorts with white tops in past.

[Ponca]

Gobs great gameplan. Box-and-oned Garland. Garland was never a factor. He fouled out with 4 min left in game.

In fact, my opinion of the two Razorback commitments from Parkview is very low. I'm not impressed.

Parkview was impressive cleaning up the defensive boards though. Way up there. Harrison had one shot every trip.

This was a ballgame. Harrison up 3 with 3 min left in 3rd after 11-0 run. Then the 4th foul on Local Flavor.

Game over after that.

The score in the newspaper tomorrow will look like a blowout, but it was 8-point game with 2 min left. Give Parkview credit. Hack-A-Parkview didn't work. They made their FT's and Harrison didn't respond when they went in panic mode in the end.

But I'm sure everyone that watched that game came away with this. Local Flavor was the best player on the court. It wasn't even close.

[Ponca]

GO GOBS!

what in the world is this? last years team in god-awful uniforms or is that paint shop? I wouldn't want this picture to exist.

[Yellowcake]

Not quite 20, but 17 is a blowout if anyone was thinking Harrison really had a chance.

[Chief_Osceola™]

Not quite 20, but 17 is a blowout if anyone was thinking Harrison really had a chance.

Eh, it was a 7-point game with 4 minutes left and Harrison had the ball. If Atwell's 3 had gone down it's a different ballgame in the final stretch. Harrison was very competitive until about the 2-minute mark when they had to try to speed up and kind of panicked. Credit to Parkview though - they made a high percentage of their free throws.

Look like practice or travel jerseys

[woopork]

Don't be an idiot. This was a good game for everyone that watched until about 2:20 left.

[Hoghead2]

It matters not how close it was at one time. A 17 point loss is a blowout. If you're tied at 30 and lose 47 to 30, you just got blowed out. Good game Harrison.  You played well.

[ZoneBuster]

The turning point was when Harrison got the lead in the 3rd and either Jenkins or Atwell (can't remember) jacked up a quick 3. Instead of slowing it down and running some clock and getting a great look, they rushed a quick 3. Parkview responded and Harrison never regained control or momentum.

[Marblehog]

Try the Hack-a-View strategy. Make their bigs beat you from the free throw line. Bring in subs to eat up fouls and get PV in the bonus then foul their bigs inside. If their bigs shoot 50% like they usually do you got a shot.

You do realize if a team shoots 50 percent from the FT line that is like shooting 50 percent from the field?

[Marblehog]

worst uniforms ive ever seen

Uh no.  Work on that grammer big boy.  Hope worst athletic program in the entire state next year?  I'm calling it right now!

[Chief_Osceola™]

It's not if a missed free throw is the front end of a one-&-one.  And anything less than 50% from the line gives the fouling team an advantage.

The other side of that strategy is that you have to make it a 2-for-1 every time.  When they get one point, you have to get 2. 

[Ponca]

Eh, it was a 7-point game with 4 minutes left and Harrison had the ball. If Atwell's 3 had gone down it's a different ballgame in the final stretch. Harrison was very competitive until about the 2-minute mark when they had to try to speed up and kind of panicked. Credit to Parkview though - they made a high percentage of their free throws.

Yup. Had that 3 gone down and it was a 4-point game with 4-min left... *sigh*

Good luck today vs Mills.
