Flashes open with a win at Upper. Saw the box score. Not sure of anything else. c5 can you help? For first game, Flashes look promising. Sloppy at times (only a few), and really solid at times, defensive rebounding looked suspect at times, but overall wasn't terrible, US focused on not letting Paxton get clean looks, also played him very physical, Dawson played like he's capable and we'll need more of the same as the year progresses, all the Sophomores played really well and will only get better as they get more Varsity experience, overall....they played better than I expected but US played alot better than I expected.....especially shooting from the perimeter. They're not really good. AT ALL two players. is all they got

The offense we are running has no chance against good teams with multiple athletes that play aggressive defense.

Flashes would been destroyed. That allowed them to trap and get it back to single digits but Huron went attack and got it back out.

Willard was very cold early on. Over half of the first quarter they were stuck on 0. I wasn’t overly impressed with huron. A group of solid athletes but they looked small on tv. Defensively Willard gave up too many layups and didn’t get enough loose balls and rebounds. I agree buckeye, with only two seniors, 3 of the 5 players on the floor are going to be underclassmen. I think they only play one jr too. So basically they are-7 ish deep with 4 sophomores. Despite Willard being so young they can still hang with one of the best teams in the area.

Senior and sophomore in terms of offensive production. But get a lot out of another senior, in terms of dirty work.

Despite Willard being so young they can still hang with one of the best teams in the area. far as your comment on Huron not being impressive. In the 5 bay division games played 5-0 shooting 62% on two point shots as a team, 35% on 3 point shots as a team 76% from the foul line as a team. Averaging 68.8 scoring a game. Dylan Hohler (junior) averaging 17.8 , Tait Fischer 13.6, Joey Schade 10.6 .. They beat Edison by 25, Margaretta by 11, Port Clinton by 28, Oak Harbor by 30, and Willard by 18... only loss was that 1 pointer to Western Reserve. Size wise , not overly tall Dylan Hohler and Joey Shade are both 6'4 drops down to 6'1 after that..amongst those who play.. they will go 3 off the bench normally.. but Edison , PC , and OH the starters didn't play much if any in the 4th qtr.. For a team picked i believe 3rd in the Bay.. not bad... so far..

Holler is a beast. They play great team defense. They are very well coached. Sure, we didn't bring our "A" game, but Huron had alot to do with that. They are my pick to win the league as well as the their District.

Looking at stats Willard had a typical shooting night against Huron. 36% from the 3pt line and 55% from inside the arc. They also shot more free throws than normal and was 72% as a team. All of those are better than their season averages. Huron is not very big but they are a good team and well coached.

The difference makers in a close game between 2 good teams

Well I made my once or twice visit to watch the flashes this year because I hear that’s all you need to be a fan or something. It’s hard to keep track of these discussions.
I think I spent more time catching up with friends than watching the game but it’s just strange to notice the lack of numbers. Willard only runs six deep (cost them by end of 3rd and 4th q) and the demeanor of the other four kids on the bench looked like they were waiting on a frozen TV dinner or covid test results.
1980s kids would scratch and claw and sell out their own mothers just to be the 15th member of the team. Those days are long gone.

Those days are long gone. Agree I played in the eighties not for Willard but a rival of Willard. Everyone was trying to be Willard in the eighties.coach Haas was a tremendous coach and leader,showtime was alive and well then. I played against Paxton,rex Adams and nolen Robinson and when they brought their bench in because they were killing us they were damn good to.you would have to wait 3 hours ,in line at Ashland for districts to get a seat the Malabar games were awesome.sometimes I wonder what happened with these kids not wanting to play.or is it something else?

BTW. Willard had some damn good football teams in the eighties as well. Good coach who players wanted to play for.im friends with a lot of guys who I played against and they've said many times that Terry toft was a great motivator and they would run through a brick wall for him.says a lot if you ask me.
