Cleveland 92 Tarkington 52/Final

Cleveland had it's starters the first time they played Tarkington, they lost them after that game when Tarkington was actually playing basketball and won, I wouldn't read too much into Cleveland winning by 40 as Tarkington lost to Huffman by 50+ Tuesday, every other team in the district has gotten better and they've gone downhill fast. We'll see how Cleveland fares against Huffman that will be a better gauge but with Coldspring losing to Shepherd last night Huffman doesn't have any pressure to secure the district title. As you say a moot point playoff wise but unlikely even at their best they would have been a threat this year, 23 is down but 1 and 2 should do well against 24's 3 and 4.

Huffman is playing very good basketball.  They put a lot of pressure on the ball in the half court set, but that isn't as effective against a team like Cleveland.  Both can shoot it well from outside, but Huffman is more consistent.  They should be able to win comfortably, but nothing has been a sure thing in this district all year.

As much as I would love to be a homer here, I can't. Your assessment of Cleveland and there ability to shoot from the outside is not very accurate. They have no legitimate perimeter threat at all to be honest. It's there major weakness. If you keep them out of the lane, out of transition, and off the offensive glass they have nothing to go to and be successful.
