I've contended here on this board that we have a pretty high level here, and I'm just curious how we stack up against this team in terms of capability and skill.

The style of play of Nequa Valley is not going to be a good comparison of overall style. Nequa Valley is not even one of the better teams if I remember. After all this is just one team.

I ended up having them three times this weekend! They are almost great. I'd say about a half-inch away. Every shot is off by about a half-inch, every block would be clean if it were another half-inch away. About a half-inch from getting the rebound, and so on.

They've got one player who really needs to knuckle under and work on the fundamentals, but she's clearly got a lot of talent. Unfortunately, she's also got an attitude, and I don't think it's gonna get her where she wants to go.

If they could play at their best consistently, they'd be right up there near the top, but they just need to get the very large and ugly wrinkles ironed out.

It was really fun to see them, and get a chance to think about y'all folks. If their coach asks if you know me, which I told him to, be sure to tell him I said hi.
