Clerc comes in and bangs Cherokee Parks around and knocks him out of the game. Physicality

Hate our 3 man jumble offense where 3 guys are within 5 ' of each other. Spread it out. We can win this game. C'mon boys!

EDIT: And just like that, Clerc is in the game!
So we know it wasn’t an injury or grades. Seems like he’s in the Martin doghouse.

As I watch Frank slam his hand down on a chair in frustration I realize that Frank acts like I do during games when the team makes mistakes, and that’s not a good thing for your HC.

To make it harder for working people to get there or, since so many STHs are seniors, maybe it was early cuz it’s so hard for seniors to stay up late. :lol: :lol:

Happy those who got there saw a win!

Not sure except our next game is a bit earlier, being Friday night in Buffalo on CBS Sports Network.

Glad to see Jayden and DHS have strong games and play with intensity. I'm happy that we won, but if we (I really mean the coaching staff) don't find a way to improve our interior defense it will be a long season. Their 2 guards (#2 and #3) had no problem penetrating. It's the same scenario every game.

Clerc did play 3 minutes, but he was invisible other than knocking Parks on his ass. Luka wasn't much better, but he was more active. I hope we get a great center in the portal because with Bettiol gone, the 5 spot looks freakin' awful next year.

Possibly it is not a good thing that our starting point guard is now 13 for 36 from the line. Just when you need him the most in crunch time, he can't be in the game. That was the case last night, and for the last two minutes, he sat.

Thankfully, we have two veteran guys in Banks and Parker who can break a press.
