The Rose girl is a stud and will be a match up problem for Eastern she is very very good at putting the ball on the deck and attacking. Loramie will play a 8-10 person rotation with full court pressure and trapping anytime they get a chance. More of a run and jump than anything else. I say this, but I am not convinced you can do this against Eastern because of Burdette she will break you down and have a double double by half time with points and assists. However Eastern isn't as deep nor as big as Fort Loramie has at least 3 maybe 4 girls at least 5'11/6 foot. I imagine the team that scores 65 plus will win this one, Loramie has scored over 70 in all their tournament games but 1. I am very excited to sit back and watch this game because I think it has the potential to be the best game of the weekend regardless of divison.
I have seen both teams play I will say this, Loramie plays the tougher schedule from top to bottom.
Eastern has more pure athletes I am not sure if Loramie can match up with their speed.
Size could be a problem for Eastern they haven't played against that type of size.
Also something that gets lost when talking about Tournament games is the Physicality of the game and Loramie will try to enforce their will on Eastern
Both teams have the DIV player of the year, however Burdette I believe is the best guard in the state
Easterns other ball handlers will be tested. As good as jenna is she wont be able to handle it for all 4 quarters Parker, Pullins, Rigsby will have to handle the ball against pressure to give jenna a break every once in a while.
I will also add this, they are playing for a State Championship. The winner of this game will cruise in the finals. Neither Holgate or BR can beat these two teams. Eastern already pounded BR earlier this year.
My final thought for this game is if Burdette can get some help (parker) Eastern will win by a bigger margin then people think. If she doesn't get help it will be a battle.
My prediction Eastern 68 Loramie 59
Burdette 35+ (wouldn't be shocked if she went for 40)
I predicted that!!!! I also had Jenna going for 35+
I dont want to TOOT my own horn.....but darn it thats impressive I dont care what you guys say TOOT TOOT
