Frankston used to slow the pace down back in the early 2000's. Have not seen them since the 2002 Regional Finals against Hardin.

They used the big man back then and were efficient with guard play and limited turnovers. This was long ago, but up in that part of the country, that's the "in style thing"

Aside from that, I'd have to do more research on them before I gave a prediction.

I admit I know nothing about Frankston. That's why I need an honest assessment. Look forward to it.

I know a guy who knows a little something about Frankston (son plays in same district). He said they are just a solid team, and that they play hard. Give me EC in a hard fought game by 5-10. Think the full court pressure will be the difference in the game. He said they just have average guard play.

Had a chance to meet Frankston's coach at the EC game in Livingston Saturday night.  His name is Robert Loper, and he has over 800 wins as a coach.  Have never seem them play, but with that many wins, coach will have them ready.  Will prolly be a great game.

Yes, he is 73 years old! Been coaching for 40+ years, he's a legend in ETX.

A great coach.  It was a thrill to listen to him talk basketball. And he really does not show any signs of slowing down.

[Just an old Coach]

Frankston has a 6'5 kid that signed with A&M in football, but is a good basketball player as well.  They are a slow paced half court team, that doesn't really get rattled.  Very fundamental.  A good hard press will give them trouble, because their guard play is average. 

[Who That]

E.C. by 7 .... got to go with the 409

[tennisbc]

any similar games between these two teams?

[Eagleborn]

Frankton is pretty good. They want to run offense through the big man but have a few others that can score too. 

Struggled at times with Waskom's pressure but never got rattled.

Yeah - Dallardsville Big Sandy would put up 31 points on Frankston in a little over a Quarter.

Should be a very hard fought game, I feel the difference will be EC's guards vs Frankston's guards. The pressure will be a big factor, and rebounding. Still think EC pulls away, they are playing their best ball of the season right now, and don't show signs of slowing down.

You can take this to the bank........if Ktz does not get those two guys back from grades that they are missing right now and EC and Kountze meet up in the next round (Regional Final) well..........you catch my drift.

If this scenario does work out, I hope the two players are back. It would still be a win, if in fact this did happen and we beat Kountze not saying we will, but everyone would still hold the two previous games over our heads because they were at full strength for them.

I can tell you this EC is not even looking at Saturday, Friday's game is their only priority. Can't play Saturday if you don't show up on Friday!

Does anyone know if the game will be broadcasted or not?
