After seeing the score and the way this game progressed, a couple things are becoming apparent about this Holmes team.

1st-Holmes may be the best athletic team in the state. Having only scores and wildcat01's game analysis, Holmes can really get after other teams.

2nd-Having said that, the best way to play Holmes appears to be make them have to play basketball in a half court set. Take away their ability to run the floor and use all that athleticism and they become a very average team, especially in the 9th region.

Anyway, congrats go out to Holmes on their victory and thanks to kywildcat01 for the game details.

Great post and excellent analysis. Holmes is too athletic on the defensive end to allow teams to even make it a half-court game. They are content with that and do not clamp down with a Press that can, and I say can only if they commit to it, can keep a team from even getting the ball up court.

In no way should Holmes have allowed the Breds to get the run they had yesterday. I'm a Holmes liker, not a hater. But this team has lived on the edge for much of this season. To often teams are allowed to make a game of it with Holmes relying on their mental confidence that they can come back. Well that is going to bite them if they are not careful.
