With about 2:30 left in the 4th Q, Poly’s Armani Walker hit a layup to put his team up by 1, 43-42. Edmondson’s Sr G #3 then hit a 3 pointer with 54.7 seconds left and Poly called a timeout and a score of ED-W up 45-43. After another timeout, Brandon Murray hit a layup and was fouled with 17.7 seconds left. Murray made the free throw putting Poly up 46-45. After a another timeout, the Red Storm inbounded the ball. #4 got the inbound pass, dribbled the length of the court and passed to #1 on the left wing. #1 took one dribble, set his feet and hit a 3 pointer with 11.1 seconds left, Edmondson 48 Poly 46. Poly called a timeout to set up a final play. Rahim Ali received the inbound pass, dribbled the ball up the court and eventually passed to Brandon Murray who calmly hit a three from the right corner with 1.1 second left, putting Poly up 49-48. The Red Storm had trouble inbounding the ball and a Poly player intercepted it and ran out the clock. What a great game!

I’ve been out of the loop traveling. Just saw that New Town beat the brakes off of Dulaney 78-54. Dulaney Coach has no idea what he’s doing.

GA, what’s up with your Greyhounds. A 7-12 record with five straight losses to McDonogh, Mt. Carmel, Gerstell Academy, Annapolis Area Christian & MSJ. You blame the coaches. I blame the culture. Gilman will never be an A conference power in basketball. Lol!

This is strictly on the Coach and injuries. Out of the those 5 losses, Gilman should have won 4 of them, including the game against MSJ. Heard they blew that game in the 4th quarter. Feel badly for those kids, the coach is just terrible. Add on the fact that they’ve had horrible injuries all year, the season had no chance. Chase Drew is out for the year, probably only played 8 games total, Cooper is out for the year with a broken leg, and Winbourne and Foster just came back.

Day 1 of the Bob Kirk Invitational is in the books in Cumberland

 

TAKOMA ACADEMY 67 VS. LA LUMIERE 95

MERCERSBURG 44 VS. WASATCH ACADEMY 105
ROCK CREEK CHRISTIAN 54 VS. SUNRISE CHRISTIAN 62
VA ACADEMY 55 VS. BISHOP WALSH 82

 

Day 2 Tips at 6:15 with Wasatch vs. La Lumiere and then BW vs Sunrise at 8:00. LaLumiere and Wasatch both looked really good, Rock Creek battled hard against Sunrise but they had no answer for N'Faly Dante. BW pulled away in the 2nd half.

@loco09, is this the year that Walsh shocks the world and wins their own tournament? I only go to Cumberland for the AIT when CHC has a good team. This year might be an exception.

Wins? Unlikely. Competes...for sure. Most likely the field for the ACIT will be BW, MSJ, SFA, Goretti, PVI, DeMatha, Gonzaga, O'Connell. I could see Walsh competing with the Baltimore sides but beating DeMatha or PVI will be a real challenge.

MSJ loses back to back games to Loyola and Goretti, got swept by Goretti this year including the most recent 22 point loss. Picking the wrong time to start a slide. 

 

Big game on Wednesday as Goretti travels to Cumberland to take on Bishop Walsh, the two western most powers clash for the first time as actual programs. BW and Goretti have played a lot over the years but this is the first time both are loaded with talent. Goretti is the favorites but would be a really nice win if BW can pull i off.

No Philly Catholic League teams like Roman Catholic, McDevitt, Bonner & Prendie or Neumann-Goretti? Have faith. Maybe Walsh will shock the world and play DeMatha in the championship. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Philly Catholic League teams joined the PIAA about 5-7 years ago and can no longer participate in the ACIT. The only bad thing about the Alhambra being at the end of the year is that the pool of teams is dwindling due to state playoffs, thats why you don't see the New York or Philadelphia teams anymore, plus events like the GEICO Nationals draw the top teams so a team like LaLumiere who has been at the ACIT before will opt to go for a national championship rather than the ACIT. 

 

BW beat Goretti last night 48-40 for a nice win. Goretti's only other losses this year are to SFA (x2), Dematha, and Poly.

That sucks for the AIT. Great win vs Goretti, though. Seems like all those new pieces are melding at the right time!

Lake Clifton's Armon Harried...how good is he?

[TheGuru]

Saw a shootout between CHC’s Logan Curtis and MSJ’s James Bishop earlier today in Towson. MSJ won the game, 72-55 and Bishop outscored Curtis by 10, 38 to 28. It was the first time that I saw Bishop play in person. The LSU signee is good as advertised. A good thing about the game was that he and Curtis played defense on each other the entire game. They went back and forth at times to see who could outdo the other. The two players’ scoring output would have been greater but Curtis missed six free throws and Bishop missed 4 of his own.

The play of the game was made by Curtis. With 3:56 left in the 1st half, CHC got the defensive rebound and Curtis streaked up the court, received a pass in stride at the foul line and dunked emphatically on Tyler Brelsford and Wesley Chairs. Curtis received a technical foul but he got the quiet crowd into the game. CHC has four regular season games remaining in this terrible season and at least one game in the BCL playoffs.

If Bishop is so good why did he play so poorly against Gonzaga?

If Bishop is so good why did he play so poorly against Gonzaga?

Really that’s your question? That has to be one of the dumbest questions/statements I’ve heard.
