Let's get on with it. Tough football season for the kids. Basketball should bring some enjoyment back to the fans, along with some winning. We know what Parrot and Baldridge are capable of. I'm looking forward to seeing how the underclassmen have developed....Dawson, Pinkston, Meisner, Addelman, Paxton, etc. Gonna be fun.

I think the best thing about this past FB season was that the kids stayed healthy..Correct? I know it bites to go 1-9 during FB but if it lights even a little fire in the kids guts I hope they corral that fire and use it to their advantage. Oh BTW I've always wanted to be post #2 on a thread that might reach 32 pages by March.

I have a couple of concerns.although I think we can replace the 12 points and 7 rebounds that Devon gave us we can't replace his intemidation and rim protection.im hoping Dawson and adelmen can hold down the middle.strong and smart kids that play with grit.im also liking the Weiss kid.around 6'4 and long armed. Hope to see him develope throughout the year and be a big help come tourney time.we are pretty solid at the other positions but need a guard to come off the bench to help.misner showed some promise over the summer.with that being said and some concerns I still think this will be a very very good team.another should be capable of another regional run.go flashes

Last year the 6'8 kid could guard the best shooter when you had Davon as the rim protector. But with him gone moving 6'8 to protect the rim and rebound makes sense IF you have someone else to guard shooters. If you don't have another good guard defender, he can't do both. My guess is JB has already thought of this and figured it out long before football even went to 2-a-days.

What if the "best shooter" is 6-5 forward? "If you don't have another good guard defender", you have an issue. BTW...didn't Willard play zone the vast majority of the time last year?? Not much man defending of best shooter. Sorry, YOU would not know that since you saw them play EVERY game. Keep up if you can!

"90% but I might be off a few percent" I recall many conversations on here about Willard's great 1-3-1 zone and how they lost the their tournament game due to playing zone. A bad time to go to a zone after winning all of those games playing man. . AGAIN... What if the "best shooter" is a PG does Baldridge defend him? What if the "best shooter" is a 6-5 forward, doesn't that put Baldridge in position to be a rim defender? Only a poor coach would not use his 6-8 guy as a rim protector after his stud rim protector graduates. An inexperienced 6-4 kid is going to be a better rim defender than a 6-8 3 year starter?? LOL OBVIOUSLY you have an inferiority complex and only want to discuss Willard basketball with other Willard fans who DARE NOT point our the errors of you ways.

You said you in love the facts. The fact is I never said that. Your a Hippocrate.we all see right through you

More importantly, how will norwalk survive without a harroway in the lineup? Will they become the program of yesteryear 10-10 and a handful of people who care being the norm. Clearly they are the Premier Football school in the area,for the near future with Nick Saban at the helm where talent doesn't matter only coaching does.
And, will they EVER have a facility for their athletes that doesn't play 2nd fiddle to Willards? Football Field, Basketball Gym, Track

Oh boy, this is gonna be fun. With Dude and Filess as the antagonizers, and Legend and myself swallowing the bait....60 pages at a minimum. As far as the Flashes living up to the hype....I'll have a better feel after this mornings scrimmage against South Central. Although the Flashes will be short one probable starter and 2 quality players coming off the bench, all sophmores on school field trip to DC. Looking at the schedule, there isn't one game they're not capable of winning. However, it's a long season and Upper, Norwalk, Oak Harbor, maybe TC, maybe an unknown can win on any given night. I say we do one better than last year and go 20-2. I know that's a big number but a few youngsters are gonna surprise us this year.....I hope.

What are the expectations? League Title? Yes Sectional Title? Yes District Title? Yes Regional Title? No, that's icing on top and they shouldn't worry about a 5th and 6th tournament game until they win a 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th. State Title? No, that's sprinkles on top for the rest of life
If that's all the hype, then yes I think Willard will live up to all the hype. Once you get to Regionals it's about health, matchups, and some luck because the competition gets pretty even.

One persons' opinion League Title--Yes Sectional Title--yes District Title--Yes provided nothing unexpected happens within the roster like past history in Willard. Regional Title--I really think winning a game at the Regional is my top end wish. If we do that, I think our program will have accomplished a lot. I think it's doable if things go the way we hope. Winning the Regional,,matchups and matchups determine so much.

I do not try to antagonize, but I will admit a do not see teams with rose glasses and have always believed a team/player needs to earn something before given some credit. On this site Willard fans can be tremendously entertaining in their posts and opinions. It can be quite fun to talk basketball with the parents.

The football may be turf but it is still a below average football stadium. The basketball court may have some tradition but it is a small floor that get used a lot ONLY because of location. Bragging about a track is like saying you grow a better beat, who really cares.

He was the “d” at the top and i think he will be tougher to replace because his confidence was important to this team. Davon’s points and rebounds are impressive but more impressive was his ability to take the other team’s best around the rim and shut them down, not just one player, but multiple. They inspired this team with confidence. they’ll likely win 16 games this year after looking the schedule over, as long as they stay healthy and stay out of trouble. The sophomores you speak of have a long way to go before they are really productive varsity players. Lets hope a shooter or two rise up and give this team a boost. there could be a dark horse like we saw with matt adams his jr year. i would have the tallest kid playing the 5 spot but that is why i don’t coach, i’m just a fan and have always enjoyed it when your tallest guys played down low. I don’t think the season will end the way it starts, and that is what good coaches do throughout the season, play the players that help them win and make adjustments as needed. Good luck boys and have fun!

I'll take a shot and say that Madison, Mansfield, Lexington and Ontario all hold as many as Willard and all have a full length court.
