Bmore Area Basketball

[85Knight]

I haven't seen them this year but I have seen Kurk Lee play since he was little and I think he's perfect for that team. You have scoters on the front line, all you need is a player like Lee who is a very good ball handler and great distributor. Not sure who they are playing at the 2 but those four players are more than enough to be the best team in the area.

I've seen them play a lot and the strength of the team is the front line and they play good defense. Best in the area? Probably overall but there's no doubt that they can be beat by any of the good teams especially if the front line doesn't dominate. It's now a toss up as to who's better, them or Dunbar. They're good but definitely not up there with any of the all-time great teams from around here. As for Lee, he started off strong but hasn't been much of a factor late in the season.

Oh I definitely don't put them in any all time great category. I think Dunbar has the best player in the Area in Miles and Stokes is also big time. What Dunbar has over SFA is COACHING! With knowing what they both have(and without seeing them this year), I give Dunbar the edge because of coaching.

I'm revising my stance on the MIAA vs. the city league. I'm giving the edge to the city league.

This would make for a good end of the season extravaganza before the state playoffs and the BCL tournament.

St. Frances vs. Dunbar

Mt. St. Joe vs. Edmondson

John Carroll vs. City College

Archbishop Spalding vs. Poly

BCL wins three of the 4 matchups. Only one I see being a toss up is SFA vs Dunbar.

[DJGreg1200]

The 1998 SFA team was post Mark Karcher and those teams weren't that good. This SFA team is LOADED! No way should this team lose to anybody in the area, definitely not Mt. Carmel.

Towson Catholic had the better team in 1998 but finished as the 2-seed that year. They beat St Frances once in regular season that year but I believe TC lost to Spalding. TC ended up winning the BCL tournament that year.

I would have thought so earlier in the season but I'm not too sure now after watching Poly play MSJ tough and Dunbar blowout JC. It's always about matchups but I think all those games would be pretty interesting and I definitely would give those other 3 city teams a real good shot at winning. Too bad we can't see them and we can only speculate.

Dunbar is clearly the best team in the city. They have the talent and the coaching and could easily beat any of the 4 BCL teams mentioned. Of course, its all speculation and we will never know unless they play on the court....which will rarely happens.

Mt St Joe successfully defends their BCL Tournament crown with 73-56 win over Spalding tonight at Loyola University.

All Tournament Team

MVP: Phil Booth - MSJ

Corey Groom - Mt Carmel
Kimbal Mackenzie - John Carroll
Jourdan Grant - Spalding
Earl Potts - Spalding
Kam Williamns - MSJ


Side Note: Ohio State head coach Thad Motta was in the building tonight to watch Kam Williams and possibly get another look at Phil Booth.

Isn't Mackenzie a frosh. He had a heck of a season, how does he project for the college level.

Its a good chance All of the city teams would win. Edmondson could bet anyone in the state The city teams play better defense and press better.

City beat North Harford 65-34 but it was really much worse. North Harford had 4 points at the half, 1 bucket and 2 free throws. City got bored and NH played harder in the 2nd half to keep it from looking like a girl's score.

Beat any team in the state? Play better defense? I respectfully disagree.

Harford County basketball has gone down hill ever since they instituted the no E grade policy. (which I'm 1000% in favor of) Edgewood and Aberdeen used to have really good teams a decade ago. I think the emergence of John Carroll has played apart in the decline as well.

[85Knight]

The surprise of the playoffs so far has to be Mervo's win over Springbrook last night. Springbrook might not be the team they were when they were winning state titles but they weren't horrible and they beat Magruder twice this year while Mervo is an average city D-II team. This was shocker for me.

This leaves the door wide open for Poly to get to Comcast. Even though they have to get it done on the road Poly has already beaten Westminster earlier this year and I'd take them over Dulaney. The biggest obstacle left is probably Paint Branch but that's still a winnable game for Poly.

Milford Mill, Edmondson, Dunbar and Eleanor Roosevelt could beat any team in Maryland. There are no Dominate private or public schools this season.

I agree with you on Dunbar and ER and respectfully disagree with you about Milford and Edmondson

and 65-34 is not a girls score...you slippn man...

[85Knight]

Wow! Mervo wins again. Cinderella is at the ball and turning heads. If they beat Poly I'd be shocked but that pumpkin is still looking like a carriage right now.

How does Randallstown beat Chesapeake 132-28? Chesapeake's coach should be fired immediately. In 32 minutes of basketball that's an avg. of a basket every 30 sec. unless they were lights out from 3 or hit a lot of free throws. No coach should let his team get embarrassed like that without just flat out holding the ball to slow the other team down. That score is just unreal.

Both coaches should come under the gun for such a rediculous score...the Rams coach should have gone to the four corners when he was up by 35...the Chesapeake coach should have called a end to the game when he was down by 45...
