LOUISIANA'S BEST(boy's basketball)
- Thread starter JagBR
- Start date
That's why I said it is moot. It's just that in the playoffs you can't afford to lose. If it were a regular season loss I doubt if anyone would argue with the idea that Northside was still the best team...but if you don't come to play when it really counts, you have no room to make the claim of being the best.
You got that right pottna. The playoff's is what really counts. The regular season, anyone can win, because the pressure is not that great, unless it's a district game. In the case of Brother Martin, and Northside, it's a one time game, with no return, and no district title ramifications being involved, only mere bragging rights.
Where as in the playoffs every game counts, and the stakes are at their highest, you can't afford to slip up, or take the night off.
The game I was really looking forward to over the weekend, was the Landry/ESJ game. Because of the way Landry went out last year, and off of the mere fact that it's cool to see how far a New Orleans Public School will go in the state playoffs.
The NOPS seems to always have a huge mountain to climb in the playoffs, because outside of the first round, very few of the games are actually played in New Orleans, or at the school itself.
NICE

A couple of smaller schools have good teams, Southern Lab can probably beat or compete the majority of the schools in Louisiana, and dont forget about Reserve Christian, this is a Class B or C school but they have a kid by the name of Demond(think thats his first name) Carter, if it wasnt for Tasmin Mitchell this kid probably would be the one to win Mr. Louisiana Basketball.

I think Excelsior could beat any other team in the tourney. Not saying they are the best team in it ...but they can play with anybody. And Richwood ain't bullthiting either. I remember when their coach played Class C ball at one of them small azz schools near Grambling and then went to NLU and was a helluva scorer before playing in Europe. He left NLU as an assistant and has done a hellacious job with Richwood. GSU football signee Lavelle Wilson is the point guard.

Yeah Lavelle played big in the last game when Martin Jr. was in foul trouble. Richwood has size, and speed. They will be tough to beat. They should have been in this position last year too. Next year will be tough, they are loosing alot of talent, from the starters and the bench.
