I really hope that wasn't at me Von. I just said i agree that he is a great coach.

No, No, It is very hard to win D-4, especially with the tough teams. Look out for Berlin and Fort Lar. Good Luck Arlington, both teams in still.

Ottoville was 64-5 in the last 3 years, no state championship, but name any other school with such a good record. They lost, got beat by a better team that night. Do not complain, I am a BIG Green Fan. Sure, I am disappointed, but life goes on. Do not bad mouth, DK.

I think that makes it tougher (great regular season record) on the Big Green come tournament time. Knowing that you've done this regular season thing every year, but you haven't had the tourney run to the Regional Finals or State recently, it has to make it harder not to put extra pressure on yourself. Not saying that they would want to trade any regular season success, but I'm sure they wouldn't mind sneaking up on someone one of these years, instead of being the hunted.

I think the kids and coach's know that the rankings mean very little, not sure fans understand that, just something for people to talk about. Both of these teams are very good, most of these kids have played in "big" games before. Rivalry games, conference championship games, sectionals and districts. The first few minutes you just want to make sure you don't get any key players in foul trouble and not fall way behind. Some of the key players on both of these teams have played a good amout of AAU summer ball in big games against good competition, I don't think you'll see nerves play much of a part. May the best team tonight win.

Before it gets away too far, just want to note that 3 of the 4 teams in the division 4 girls state tournament were not ranked at the end of the season. The rankings are really just a publicity contest based solely on record, and coach's notariety.

Common Sense......

Before the season even got kicked off, Rocketman and Flounder displayed their rankings......bear in mind that these rankings hit the press before a game had even been played........of the 4 participants in the D4 state championship.....Rocketman had 3 in his top 10 and Flounder had all 4.........before a game had even been played, Rocketman and Flounder were on top of it........that is one reason why we continue to proclaim....Rocketman And Flounder Know Girls High School Basketball.........need I say more....incredible!!!!!
