Thanks again OSH. I like the way Corbin shares the ball. They are also gang rebounding so Pietrowski isnt stuck battling alone. They are lacking in depth. Britain is a good defender and shot better last year than he has so far this year. He will come around. Zack Reynolds is such an important part of the toughness they need. Corbin’s elite fball program has helped basketball so much. Those kids are usually bruisers like zander curry and pietrowski. The threes haven’t fallen like i thought they would. I think that will get better. Actually Eli pietrowski has shot well from there last couple of games. If they can keep Akins dialed in (im told he is 15 years old) they will go very far. Ive watched this region for forty years and i believe that kid is elite. I think he can be part of the small handful of really big time players from the 13th. They lost a lot of toughness in curry and barton. No guard rebounds a ball like zander curry! They have more skill and better shooting overall but they lost so much toughness. Ive seen tony’s teams look bad early but it never fails that everyone seems bought in by the end. Thats why i have them so high. Until bell can show more toughness and pineville can get past the names on the chests of the other good region teams, i will take the Hounds to have a chance in the end.
