@KirkHerbstreit I dont see anything wrong with travel ball as long as it is competitive and local w/in a metro area. doesn’t make sense to beat up on teams week in and week out. Re:tournaments. Sometimes we would travel from cbus to cinci or Dayton to play same teams from cbus. should not happen
Indeed it was. We had wrestling training behind the bleachers while Macomber vs Rogers were warming up. One of the few times we stayed after practice to watch Jim Jackson. Forget the outcome but pretty sure Macomber won. Rogers had a very good player in Douglas “Sugar” Robinson at guard. Sad note: We lost Ray Steely this year.
I watched the game and yes Illinois did dominate. These numbers are for individual thresholds. Illinois had a well balanced attack so the numbers were spread across many players. Also, I have found that when a team dominates on offense, the team that loses will typically have better individual numbers on defense. Have a great new year!
