I said coming in I wanted to see how Holden played against competition like this. Well, he held his own and then some. Wow! Definitely the best player on the court and dropped 35. Let me also say that if he even played a mediocre game then Burg probably loses by 40.

Congrats to the young man on a great game. He definitely proved he is a D1 player and wouldn’t shock me at all if a few more schools offer him by the end of the week.


As for the game, Burg’s biggest mistake was trying to run with Harvest. They’ve been used to out athleting people in SE Ohio and that just wasn’t going to happen vs Harvest. Lowery and Truitt were nonfactors and looked lost at times. Salyers had a pretty good game especially early on.


Good season. Garaway was so solid and disciplined I definitely think they can keep it close with Harvest... I’d still take Harvest by 8-10 but I think Garaway makes it interesting

I love how there are people who say he's not D1 caliber in football and basketball. He sure as hell is and I agree. I'll be shocked if he don't get a few more offers before the school yr ends

Harvest Prep is well coached and insanely good, which is a pretty nice mix for HS hoops. A bunch of guys who can handle the rock, guard, and knock down 3's. Didn't see a whole lot of bad shots and almost nothing flashy. I did enjoy #2 and Salyers having an arrow shootout in the first half too.

#2 was only a sophomore and startedfor then last year as a freshman....according to my new friend from HP lol, she was crazy. Funny enough, as outlandish as she was and crazy as she acted....I agreed with almost every single she said concerning the game. She definitely knew her basketball.

Now do you see what we were talking about?
HP is on a different level.

Holden was the best player out there tonight. He was strong to the rim and more than held his own.


If HP hits threes like that the rest of the tourney they will be hard to stop. I don't think it is a cake walk for them to the title. Talked to one of there fans and they were concerned about Africentric, who they might possible play in the State Semi-finals, plus Lutheran East, who is the defending DIV state champ is still in the tourney and did anyone else notice their record? 12-13. That means they came into the tourney at probably 7 or 8 and 13. Must play an amazing schedule. Also Cincinnati Deer Park still out there at 25-0.

Thank You Cole Lowery and Mack Dyer for your play the last two years. You two have been class acts on and off the court and you both will be missed. Good luck in whatever the future holds for you.

On a side note, did not know that about HP having some players having to sit out because of the transfer rule. Heard someone say at the Convo tonight about coaches on the bench and having coached some of the kids in AAU ball. What is the rule on that or is there even a rule about AAU ball? Overheard them also saying no more than three kids can play on the same AAU and then the same HS team. Any truth to that or did they not know what they were talking about?

As far as AAU is concerned, I'm not sure about the rules regarding high school coaches in AAU.

I do know however that no more than 2 kids from a HS team can play on the same AAU team.

Nobody disagreed but burg played with a team that was crafted together by some sort. 6 players had to sit out the first 12 games because of transfers. They are very good and will win d3.

Even at that, burg played very well. Holden showed his talent. I thought they would lose around the 12-15 mark. I still would have won my bet with you. It was close though.
