MBB: Coast 2 Coast Athletic Conference

[Pat Coleman]

I have been following Hood College for 4 years now, and they have certainly been impressive so far this year. Despite losing Santo Provenzano (1500 points in 3 seasons) they have become very good defensively, and have abandoned the zone defense that Coach Dickman played in his first 3 years there, and are now playing hard nosed man to man which Coach Dickman favored during his High School coaching days.

Sorry, I am a visitor to this board.  Anyone know what happened to Provenzano this year (maybe hoodfan)?  As stated earlier, he was averaging a ton of points and rebounds. Just curious.

You could've read Around the Nation and learned that for yourself.

Chad McGowan is an unstoppable beastly mans man(POY hands down).  York is poised to make a run towards the home strectch of the season.  The pieces seem to be falling in place late in the season.  Look for York to make a run at the CAC championship.  York needs better interior defense....they do not protect their basket well enough.  Zerfing is due for a stunning performance and the rest of the young spartans will eagerly follow their leader.  Joe Yeck has been playing solid...like always.  Zerfing, McGowan, and Yeck are the last remaining players from the glorious run in 2004-2005.  They know what it takes to compete and win, their mettle on the court will prove to be priceless late in the season.  GO YORK!

Congrats, Matt. Now we know you'll have lots of at home time to comment on the board.

MW will respond to their OT loss last Saturday and host YCP at Goolrick. Look for that leadership from MW's big SR 3 Lee, Baker and Fitzgerald to take hold. If MW gets good inside play from Whitworth and outside fancy from Hale, MW will have its best shot.

Gotta love February in the CAC!

Final from UMW...

York 90-Mary Washington 75

Huge win for the Spartans as they pull into a second place tie with Catholic

I know that most people feel the Coach of the Year is Coach Dickman (who has a done a wonderful job at Hood) but don't discount the job that Jeff Gamber has done with the Spartans. Losing four cornerstones like Bushey, Fass, Singer, and Lee and to still be in contention is a great credit to his team and his coaching staff.
