Waverly has to play 4 quarters like they did the first three and a half against Fairland. Tigers have to bring the defensive pressure and run run run in hopes of wearing them down.trojandave wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2018 5:55 pm If Waverly brings the defensive intensity that they did vs. Fairland, Sheridan will have their hands full. Of all the teams I have seen play other than Portsmouth, only Ironton in the sectional vs. Wheelersburg played harder on D than did Waverly vs. Fairland. Another thing I liked about the Tigers was that they didn't play afraid of Fairland. They took it right to them for 4 quarters, came up short, but the effort was there for sure.
If Waverly can play that great defense and keep their composure late in the game they can beat Sheridan. Losing composure late in highly contested games have cost them two games that I can think of.smurray wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2018 6:30 pmWaverly has to play 4 quarters like they did the first three and a half against Fairland.

... I've seen Sheridan 3 times , nothing flashy, very deep (going 9 deep in their NORMAL rotation) ... they have size (6-8, 6-8, 6-7) but it's not on the floor at the same time (at least not in the regular season) ... only 2 of those "size" players see the floor on varsity, Heller the 6-1 PG is the key - lefty can shoot the lights out if given 1/2 an opportunity ... Grey Bennett 5-10 can nail the 3 ball as well (had 5 treys in beating FU) ... VC's comment about Sheridan handling chaos ? if anything chaos plays in Waverly's favor as SHS is a better team when they are patient and use the size of the post & forwards ... they struggle when they put up quick shots - they do that in stretches during games that I have seen ... I think the chaos factor that Waverly brings to the table, their quickness, strength, ability to get up and down the floor is to the Tigers' advantage ... I had on my Napkin Stat sheets that Sheridan does not handle pressure well - pressure turns the ball over on the perimeter by Sheridan guards ... Sheridan may be the favorite but Waverly's overall philosophy and strengths make this a tough matchup for the Generals ... I would not be surprised at a Tiger "W" ... with that said the Convo IS a big court - with the type of game Waverly plays the question is "can they run for 32 minutes?" ... Sheridan going 9 deep will be fresher in the 2nd half of action ... in the games I have seen Sheridan has pulled away in the final period of play due to being less tired than their opponent ... we'll soon enough ! going to be a good one imo ...Vito Corleone wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2018 10:24 am Depends on how well Sheridan handles chaos. That's what Waverly does, and Waverly does it well. Any common opponents between the two?
Waverly goes 9 deep as well. They can play the frantic pace all game....I’ve seen them do it twice.pfloyd wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2018 9:05 pm...

Tiger Nation will be out in full force. It’s what we do!MasterOfNone wrote: ↑Thu Mar 01, 2018 2:35 pm This is such an interesting matchup of contrasting sytles. Whichever team is able to control the tempo of the game gets the W. Waverly needs to get some serious pressure on Sheridan's guards as soon as the ball is tipped, if the Tigers are able to create some turnovers that lead to some easy buckets early on I think they have a serious shot at taking down the #1 seed.
Anyone know how well Sheridan travels? I'm curious to see what kind of crowd we will have on hand tomorrow night. I'm hoping the Tiger faithful show up in full force.
