Just wanted to give a HUGE cheer for the way those young men played the last game. They really deserved the minutes AND CREDIT, they produced & entertained !
Mintz - 10 points, 1 board and assist, 2 steals in 14 minutes
Ware - a bucket and 5 boards in 8 minutes
Collins - 6 pts., 8 rebounds, 1 assist and block in 12 minutes
Hopkins - 2 pts, 1 assist and steal in 12 minutes
Toppin - 6 pts, 3 rebounds, 1 block in 10 minutes
altogether - 26 points, 17 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks - I'm loving THAT stat line ! Just to compare, they outscored High Point's total for EITHER half (25 in first, 23 in second)
It's all part of another journey and a total pleasure to see them contribute in important ways! Maybe they don't get enough credit for the hard work they put in, but collectively, this 5 really stood out in this game to me. So much of this team's ceiling is how far they ALL can collectively improve. I think they really deserve a great round of applause for the performance.
Way to go Cats' ! Keep up the hard work and effort, BBN loves the intensity you are bringing.
Go Big Blue!
P.S. - Is it just me, or does Bryce Hopkins look like a *young* Chuck Hayes out there ?!?!? Shiver me timbers!
