I agree. Athens is capable of doing some things that Alexander does not handle very well, but not sure they will do it. I really think this will be a five point game one way or the other. Athens seems to have found some continuity over the past three or four weeks. How much has Athens trailed in their current winning streak? Just wondering if the good vibration continues if they fall behind.VisionQuest wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2018 11:48 am Alex is a team of Scrappers. I like Mecums play and the Kearns boy can Shoot. Kam Riley a 3pt threat also. Stone Markins is coming back from an Injury-will he be the X-Factor? I don't see Athens rolling as they are coming off a week long break and haven't seen good man to man for awhile now. Should be a good one.
If they haven't been blowing teams out lately then they are neck and neck it seems. Jackson went ahead by a couple late in that game and Athens surged back. Against VC they were ahead double digits and held off a 4th quarter rally by VC to win by 2spartans_fan wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2018 3:09 pmI agree.

Go Alex.
Elaborate a little? Like a full court press?spartans_fan wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2018 3:09 pmI agree.

I am not going to give away the secret sauce... but there are teams that Alexander competes with that, record wise, are better than we are. There are other teams we should beat, but the matchup and styles are not a good fit for what Alexander does well. I think Athens can do those things, but they did not do them at the Alley in the first match up.VisionQuest wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2018 5:08 pmElaborate a little?
