... wasn't sure what to expect driving down Rte 33 to Meigs High School as Fairfield Union was coming off of a 60-47 loss to London High School @ FU on Monday night and Meigs? I wanted to see where the Marauders stood as a TEAM heading into the seeding stretch couple of weeks ... I spoke with FU's Coach Helber before the JV game tipped off, asked about the London loss - FU was without starting shooting guard Trevor Utzinger (injury) in that one, Coach Helber said he was cleared to play tonight vs Meigs but would not start ...

... Meigs started fast behind the shooting of 6-8 Carson Davis, the sr. put up 11 pts in the period hitting at all levels - taking the lid off with midrange 15 footer 2 pts/ the big man put the ball on the floor for a drive & finish at the rim 2pts/ Davis drained a triple from behind the arc 3pts & 1 as he was fouled on the shot 4pts/ his second 3 ball of the quarter was a good 2-3 steps behind the 3 point line 3pts ... Colben Beucler added 1/2 from the FT line and 6-0 jr PG Owen Tracy scored on a transition bucket & 1 to end the quarter for Meigs ... Coach Helber's Falcons spread the scoring around as FU was led by 6-1 jr Dean Clark's 15 footer 2pts/ an offensive board & stick back 2pts/ the jr. drained FU's only triple of the quarter 3pts/ 7pts in the qtr ... 6-6 soph Asa Kline hit a 12 footer along the baseline 2pts ... Mason Ailes followed suit as he hit a 12 ft jumper for 2pts and Utzinger chipped in off the FU bench with a drive & finish for 2pts ... Meigs 15 Fairfield Union 14 after one ... in the next 8 minute period Meigs played solid defense turning the Falcons over 3 times in the period picking up 2 buckets on FU miscues - one each by Gunner Cleland and Griffin Hudson 4pts ... Beucler hit a three pointer 3pts ... Davis took the ball to the rim for 2 baskets at the rim 4pts to help Meigs open up a 7pt lead 24-17 with 2:59 on the clock ... the Falcons only found the bottom of the net for 2 fgs in the frame on a Mason Ailes drive & finish 2pts / Kline & Keaton Webb adding 1/2 from the free throw line to go with a Dean Clark midrange jumper to top off the FU scoring ... Meigs 26 Fairfield Union 20 at the half ... any opponent of the Marauders has to decide on how and who will be assigned to guard 6-8 Carson Davis - do you double team him? which then opens up Beucler & Tracy ... do you put one guy out on an island chasing Davis all over the court as the big man plays at all 3 levels - Coach Helber & his staff went with 6-4 Keaton Webb guarding Davis all over the court ... Webb did an outstanding job ... played D with physicality, denied entry passes into the post, forced Davis outside ... Davis got his points, ended with 25 BUT they were all hard earned points that he had to work to get - great job Keaton Webb ... the 3rd quarter had the Falcons coming out of the locker room with their eyes set on closing the gap , not letting Davis & Co. continue to open the lead further ... FU started by getting the ball into the paint & finishing ... 6-6 soph Asa Kline scored 7pts in the paint/Keaton Webb scored on the block 2pts/ Drake DeFazio hit FU's 2nd trey of the game 3pts/a make miss at the FT line for 1pt/ and a putback bucket for 2pts ...FU outscored Meigs 15-10 in the period to close to within 1 pt ... Meigs was led by Davis who scored the opening 6 pts of the 3rd for MHS on a pair of midrange fall away jumpers and 2/4 from the line ... the only other points were from Owen Tracy as the point guard hit a midrange floater for 2 pts and a drive & finish in front of the rim 2pts ... FU reeled Meigs in - quarter goal met ... Meigs 36 Fairfield Union 35 after 3 ... Trevor Utzinger the lanky, 6-2 jr. was shuttled in out the first 3 quarters BUT in crunch time, first team to 50 wins time, the normal starting shooting guard IS in the game ... Utzinger made his presence felt as he opened the FU scoring with a three pointer 3pts, took the ball into the paint, fouled in the act of shooting - make make ... DeFazio with a transition bucket 2pts/ Webb on a steal & score in transition 2pts ... on the Meigs side Colben Beucler with a drive & finish at the rim 2pts/Tracy with a floater in the paint 2pts/ Beucler drained a trey 3pts/ Davis into the paint for 2 pts before taking the lone FU turnover to the house for 2 pts ... at 2:41 to play Meigs led 47-44 ... the FU defense kept the Marauders from scoring a fg the rest of the way ... both defenses put the clamps down as a Meigs timeout with 1:28 to play showed the score at 47-44 the home standing Marauders ... Utzinger with a drive & finish 2pts to make it 47-46 Meigs with :46 on the clock ... FU fouled to put Meigs on the line ... turned out to be great strategy as MHS went to the line on 3 straight trips ... only able to knock down 2 of 6 FTs ... 49-46 ... Utzinger with a bucket from 4 feet in front of the rim ... 49-48 Meigs ... FU worked the ball around with the ball ending up with 6-6 Asa Kline in the lane ... as time ran down the big man powered up with spin move from 5-6 feet ... fouled hard ... the ball went in with 3.2 to play 50-49 FU ... Kline missed on the FT attempt ... Meigs advanced the ball to 3/4 court timeout ... 1.3 to play ... inbounds pass to the paint ... Davis was denied the ball by Webb ... with a Meigs player only having an off balance fall away attempt for the win ... Fairfield Union 50 Meigs 49 a final ...

Excellent recap Pfloyd. FU dominated the boards. I'd be curious to see the team rebound and overall shooting numbers. FU seemed to have gotten 10-15 more shots. The Marauders do not rebound well at all. That will (and has) cost them in every game outside of the TVC.

@Bigtimefan ... I was thinking the same thing - that FU dominated the boards - it wasn't even close ... there were trips on the offensive end that FU had 3 & 4 "shots on goal" ! BUT when I looked at the putbacks for points - FU only had 2 for the entire game ...

[Bigtimefan]

Thanks for the info. I should have looked at that in your notes.

It was a good game. I thought both teams played some pretty good defense. The late foul shooting for Meigs sealed their fate. The FU strategy to put them on the line worked to perfection.

[itsme]

Don't understand why Meigs did not foul late in game to take time off clock, they had 3 to give. Not saying they would have won but it does take time to reset plays.

[Smeltzy]

Pfloyd........thanks for the review. Just to clarify something minor that you reported. FU did not lose to London at Home. They played at Ohio Dominican college in a Holiday showcase.

... Thanks @Smeltzy ... I knew that! I was talking to Coach Helber last night before the varsity game and we discussed some issues (ie. the tourney director changing the game time without notifying FU etc.) for some reason - it just didn't sink into my 70 year old head ...

Yeah, Howie got Meigs’ best player and Meigs got to keep a bunch of daddy ball. He11 of a deal.

[SEOsportchamp23]

These Meigs players are getting a raw deal out of this one. That coach is a problem and his kid isn’t helping. I feel for the kids who are good ball players & aren’t getting the opportunity. Meigs has good players. Tracy, Cleland. Both good athletes and good players. But when the coach’s son can do whatever he wants/ just makes for bad everything.
Hopefully someone will see the writing on the wall. I’m sure he’s done when his kid graduates. Especially if he is going on to the next level.
Brinegar was smart and got out. He had a place to land since he was open enrollment at Meigs. Doesn’t lose any time and gets to play basketball. Smart move on his part.

I've watched Meigs last year and caught their live stream this year vs Westfall, I'm in SVC country. Heard a lot about this year's Meigs team playing " daddy ball". From Meigs or TVC posters, what exactly is going on? Anyone care to elaborate? From the outside looking in they seem to have a pretty good team.

I'm not sure much more detail needs to be shared. Some of us know. If this was the NBA or even college, I think a more direct discussion might be fair. But this is high school. Just my opinion.

Cleland is a good kid but on most teams, he would be the 6 or 7 man

Yeah but since daddy ball ran Reed off all that changed.
