Sadly our high school basketball season came to a end by Ft. Wayne Luers yet again. I’m proud of our team and sad and disappointed for them. They played hard but just couldn’t pull out a win in the end.
The team gave us a fun and exciting season. Something for all us “old” people to do on Friday and Saturday nights. We look forward to an exciting season next year as well.
Here’s one of the highlights from the game when Ethan Jacobs (#44) dunks it from a pass from Greg Dickey (#20):
So how rude do you think it is for the other team to dance on your mascot in the center of the court after the game? Very rude, I think.
With another hard fought game, our Tipton Blue Devils won the Sectional against Guerin High School. Very exciting to win Sectionals 2 years in a row! Lots of credit goes to our team who has worked hard all season!
“I thought we played tentative and [the Devils] can do that to you — they play very physical and they’re very strong,” Guerin coach Pete Smith said. “[Greg] Dickey makes their defense go with his ball pressure. Bradley [Yust] doesn’t see very much ball pressure like that. That was one of the toughest nights he’s had all season, and that’s a credit to Dickey.”
We will now face Ft. Wayne Luers yet again. This year the outcome WILL be different than last year. It is bound to be a good game and possibly the “real” state championship as it is the #1 (us) and #2 (Luers) teams in the state facing off. Last year Luers after defeating us in the Regional Championship, Luers went on to win the state.
I took a ton of videos with my flip camcorder after the game and will work on putting together a video montage.
Our Friday night was spent at the high school basketball sectional and it did not prove to be as nerve wrecking as Wednesday night in a good way. We won 74 to 14. An awesome win for our team and the boys needed an easy game after the tough physical battle on Wednesday night against [...]
Yet again, this year, the Tipton Blue Devils found themselves behind most of the game against a tough Oak Hill Eagles team. Yet again this year, the Blue Devils pulled the game out from under the Eagles in the last few minutes. Watch this video to see my little cousin Craig Greg swoosh a 3 [...]
