MBB: Landmark Conference

[NEPAFAN]

Did Harry Dammer sound like he was talking to us when he explained how it is only a game? He was explaining the bad news about Maddie Martin Re-injuring herself.

 No, he was putting it in perspective for everyone, including himself. I'm generally in agreement with Harry's observations and analysis and enjoy them.

Fair enough. We are blessed to have a play by play guy and a color guy, no complaints. Both are assets to the program.

As a Royal fan I love seeing 5 guys in double figures.Great win guys keep it up!

Coach Danzing has some talented kids I would like to throw this out there Ryan Ems reminds me of a Sean Gallagher,Henry Condron,Derrick Elphick,Brian Odonnel that kid could bang and that will help the Royals now and years to come!Still remeber Elphick getting his tooth knocked out at the long center by Huggler and Stackhouse from lycoming man them games were bruisers!

Besides the balanced scoring, I also liked seeing 22 assists on 25 made baskets (and 51% shooting).  Even Ems (7 pts/2 blocks in 7 minutes) and Monaghan (3 assists in 6 minutes) contributed well in the time they were on the court.  This was a good team effort against a Catholic team who plays tougher than their record indicates and has been in most games this year.

Kudos to the camera operator who zoomed in on the court...made a difference on video quality. 800 and change at the game, but Harry noted not a lot of kids in the student section.

A good win for sure as Catholic is clearly playing much better as the season has progressed.

Another battle on Wednesday at Moravian.

 Any word on Ben Bosland's absence yesterday? He missed the 2nd half Wednesday with an injury.

Saw him at the end of the bench in street clothes. I've made a inquiry request to the Scranton Athletics Department for more info

Didn't see the game yesterday, but the 22 assists really stands out. Having now played Scranton twice, I can say that they are the team Catholic has struggled the most against defensively this season. I know everyone always points to the Royals' lack of consistency, but I'm still convinced that when they are locked in they have the highest ceiling of any team in the league.

Big picture, the Cards are still technically alive for a playoff spot, but it seems highly unlikely. Conference play has been about fine margins this season. 3 of the Cards' 6 conference losses have come by a total of 7 points. Still very pleased with the progress of the season. The big game of the week has to be Drew at Susquehanna on Wednesday night.

Go Riverhawks!

He walked in @ the 9:00 mark of 2nd half Sat; maybe he had a whirlpool session previously.
