I just think that in order for the Collier thing to work, you have to see better defense and a higher point total than what they had before he joined the team. The 20 games before he was there they was averaging a little over 63 ,and 50 since he joined. (Bell game hurts those averages of course.) More of a apples to apples is both North-South games. South scored 3 less points in the first meeting (68), while winning by 14 in a game that was back and forth until late 3rd or early 4th. Second game, South scores 71 while winning by 11 and pretty much dominated from the tip and it didn't ever seem like a 11 point game. North scored 54 in the first meeting and 59 in the 2nd. It just looks like right now, that you are giving North 60 points and letting Collier and Peyton figure out how to split them up. If they could figure out how to keep Peyton going and get a extra 15 from Collier, then they would probably win the region. They may figure it out, but they better do it quick.

They would have to play better team ball than they have all season. And I don't see that happening with,or without Collier. Also think north's defense is fine,it is on offense where they run into trouble. No offensive,or defensive rebounding. No teamwork. No offensive cohesion with,or without Collier. But,you have to admit Collier proved last night that he can flat shoot the 3 ball! All Broughton's points usually come from free throws (which he was missing some of last night) and the jumper in the paint (that he started shooting & hitting in the latter part of the game). He also had some crucial turnovers. I really thought Grubb schooled him last night. I don't think there is any danger of north winning any region either. Don't see it happening. Big boys are way too weak ,and soft. All others are too streaky ,and inconsistent. Also think Taylor & Allen combo totally schooled north's bigs both meetings. I believe that south won last night by 12 pts if memory serves.
