Willard all his life then freshman year at Norwalk then back to Willard. So what you’re saying is Norwalk recruited him away then he came home? How many times are we going to rehash Willard recruited? Recruited means you actively went out and asked a kid to transfer into your school +/- offered some compensation. Does anyone think that really happened or was Willard just really good and if you were a gym rat in the 80’s you wanted to play on a really good team that would make a deep run YOU chose unilaterally to move in? I bet on the later.

I look at 80s Willard like early 2010s with Whitmer; everyone wants to be part of a winner in great atmospheres. Should be looked as a compliment

They had a problem with Ross being better in late 70s into eearly 80s. Ended up dropping Ross, 2x

Congratulations to the Shelby Whippets! They came out and jumped on Lex early. And then Lex stormed back and took a 29-28 lead, I thought maybe Lex would prove to have their number again. But the Whippets stemmed the tide and took control. The senior leadership and maturity is what Shelby has going for itself right now. Good luck next week against Lima Shawnee. By the way I think the Whippets take that one. But Lutheran West has been my pick to win state. But that's why you play the game.
As for Lex I'm disappointed in the loss. But excited for the future. Looking forward to watching this team grow and develop.

A non Xs and Os take. I'm sure most here watched the game in some manner, but this is what I saw in person.
I noticed during warm-ups and pregame the difference in attitudes of the teams. Shelby was interactive. Lexington seemed more quiet. There's that one sports studies that showed NBA teams with the most "touches" amongst their team tend to win more (i.e. high fives, huddling together). Last night before tip, the Shelby guys were all in a group. Lexington had players social distancing going on. There was one timeout where Hudson was a foot or two away from the Lex team huddle. Meanwhile, Shelby had a timeout called at some point and the entire bench ran onto the court to chest bump the guys in the game.
This Shelby group has found such a great team identity and culture at the best time of year. It's very reassuring to see that chemistry in action.

Fogle has had some interest in football. I know he performed well at the Ohio State football camp last summer. But his first love I believe is basketball. Where he has excelled in high level AAU basketball. He plays in a boat load of games there including the Peach Jam in South Carolina. Thats where he he's gotten most of his notariaty. But then again Cade Stover said at one point that his favorite sport was basketball and now is on the verge of being drafted into the NFL. Also Lexington's game plan doesn't necessarily lend to a guy scoring 30 a game. When they are successful they get 3-5 guys in double figures. From a rivalry standpoint I have no love loss for Willard. I always want to beat them in basketball. I miss playing them in the regular season. Willard has a great program and a storied history. As for the game tonight. Shelby has been playing lights out the last 16 games. But it was shown that against Mansfield Senior they were not invincible. Either is Lex. But Lex I believe has got their number and wins a close one. Go BIG LEX!!! Is the Lexington coach very experienced? On that last out of bounds play it could easily have been charging when the defender (Hudson?) was running the baseline following the inbounder. That's sort of a basketball 101 play and the Lex defender didn't seem to be aware. I assume the coaches didn't warn him in the previous timeout. If charging was called, Max would have had 2 free throws to tie it and send it to another overtime. Just wondering.

Funny you ask. I spoke with the player after the game about that same thing. He said his coach did warn him in the about it and was upset when it happened but he was so active in blocking the throw he forgot. But he also said he hit guys harder on screens in that game without being called so it was consistent by the ref.
