Congrats, Central, on the win! Ryan Collins certainly had himself a night to remember...37 points! But if the Rebels are going to have a chance at making it to State, they MUST rebound the basketball. IMO, Allen Central plays best when they're running and scoring easy, open baskets in transition. And the way to get those open lay-ups and uncontested jump shots is to rebound and push it up the court. Phelps' defense wasn't very solid, and AC got some open looks in the half-court game. But I'm about certain the Magoffin/Pikeville winner won't let the Rebels get away with so many open shots in the half-court set. They need to hit the boards and push the ball. That's when they play their best. But nonetheless, a win is a win, and they were clicking on all cylinders. I heard on WMDJ after the game that Alex Hammonds had a double-double...10 points, 11 assists. That's impressive in itself, as well as Collins' 37 point performance. Central is HOTT right now, fellas, and they couldn't have picked a better time to start sizzling.
