OT- Iowa Boys State
- Thread starter HaydenHawk8
- Start date
Looks like IC West was just upset by Dubuque Senior. 39-36. I believe I heard McCaffery was held under his 20 pt average.
39-36? Sounds like a fun game to play in and watch.
West scored 7pts in the 3rd and 6 in the 4th for 13....They were outdone by Senior who had 15 second half points....Fun........
Did the 'cheating MF'ers' hurt West? Was Fran at the game?

Haha that’s funny.
I didn’t see the game, was it sloppy or just slow paced? 39-36 I mean the girls were scoring that at halftime.
I half listened to the stream. West was previous low pts scored was 42 I believe. Brauns was in foul trouble most of the game and they seemed to miss him when he was out. The West guard Pepin(?) missed 2 layups and was 0-5 from three......Also, West didn't get to the line much - which surprises me as I suspect they had a height advantage....
Huh. Poor shooting, but I’d figure Patrick would take over. I think the other team has a kid that’s like 6-5 headed to UNI.
I was hoping to watch Tyreke & DJ at state! Bummer.... Xavier and PMac will have to do!
UNI has the kid from Dubuque, who else do they have playing at state? Also who else did they recruit. Hopefully some post players.
The boys streams are all on pay sites. One thing the IGHSAU has done a magnificent job of doing is keeping streams and TV coverage for their finals free. I used to look forward to watching/streaming both boys and girls events but haven't seen a boys finals for several years now that they're on pay sites.....it's really a disservice to Iowans as I'm not going to pay the fee to watch the boys events......I imagine it's true for almost everyone w/out a child/grandchild playing...….
The last state tourney (guys) game I watched was when West was in the state championship game and got beat in another low scoring affair. I actually shut that one off in the third quarter.
Iowa Boys HS definitely needs to institute a shot clock. 39-36 = paint drying.
Since they have a ridiculously redundant leadership situation in the state would the girls and boys have different shot clocks? You know after each organization did their ‘research’ which probably include some travel paid for by the schools. Oh and raise the game fee higher to pay for it.
Nah. One game out of hundreds shouldn't incite panic. Sorry not sorry.
I've seen a lot of high-scoring games this year.
If stall ball is a problem at the 4A level, tell the coaches to stop being scared. If that upsets them, tell them and their giant egos to go f*** themselves, and then see where they sit with their giant egos. Most will then actually have something to be incited by..........
See how that works?
I have been told repeatedly that it ain’t happening anytime soon.
After watching a lot of games earlier in the week, it's such a disservice to these kids not having a shot clock. I hope they change that soon.
Nah, shot clock is not needed.
Deal with it.
I'm sure many of you will not deal with it, and argue for why it's needed.......but it's not.
Again, deal with it.
The state has had several companies come and give presentations on using shot clocks and a couple have even offered to give them to every school for free (advertising logos) places in the gyms and obviously on the clocks. The state said no, too many issues can come up and schools already can’t find people to run the clocks and what not.
You will not see it anytime soon I’m afraid. I wonder how the new timing will affect football!

It’s located in Eldridge, which is in northern Scott county.
Riveting stuff! That was very Lute-esque of you.
Bottom line. North Scott plays Cedar Falls tonight.
Osky up three over Winterset w/ 39 seconds.
Osky playing keep away up one with 1:00 left. Foster shoots a corner three and bricked it. Hustled back and got an easy block to take possession.
Winterset shares Illinois fight song. Turrible
Oskaloosa shares Northwesterns?

Yes Carton will likely do well at OSU. They have a good class coming in as well. College game will showcase his ability more, 30 second clock forces constant action.
So never root for either school is what you're telling me?
IDK, North Scott’s is Notre Dame’s. That’s gotta be up there with ILL and NW.
And that's the issue at the HS level.
Especially at the lower levels, constant action is not a thing you should just force upon teams. A shot clock is not going to make bad teams any better. It's only going to perpetuate their deficiencies. And the only negative thing it could do to good teams is make them shoot more, which on cold shooting nights could help keep lesser teams in the game.......even though the shot clock was originally suppose to be this equalizer for teams that wanted to keep the ball to themselves, and make their opponent play defense for longer periods of time.
This is a case where the few examples do not, and should not, outweigh the many.
