It has been close to six months since our house fire and we have been almost non-existent since September of 2006. Where do we go from here? What do you want to hear and talk about? Let me know. It is time to roll again.
This year's Nebraska high school basketball tournament is now complete. This writer was not able to attend the tournament for the first time in many years. With that in mind, it is time to talk about this year's most memorable events of the 2007 basketball tournament.
Loomis has been to state and won two championships in 1999 and 2004 and was beaten in the championship game in 2005. Loomis made it to the semi-finals this year and was beaten by Leigh. The run could be over for a while as they lost a bunch of seniors.
The Class A Championship game was loaded with talent. Bellevue West and the Class A champion Omaha Central teams put on a show in overtime. These two teams have a bunch of talent.
Jesse Carr from Ainsworth is sensational. He is a lot of fun to watch and he has the potential to play Division I ball. Nebraska may be a great choice. The junior has one more season to show his stuff and he will be fun to watch. He has a good supporting cast.
Who are the best high school basketball players in Nebraska this year? They are:
1. Jesse Carr-Ainsworth *Only a Junior. He can rebound, pass, and score.
2. Wes Eikmeier-Fremont Bergan *He is headed to Iowa State.
3. Antoine Young-Bellevue West *Another Junior who is headed to Creighton
4. Jeff Allgood-Bellevue West *Junior When he gets hot no other player can shoot 3's like him.
5. Josh Jones-Omaha Central *Great player on the best team in the state the past two years.
Matt Kenseth will win the Nascar Nextel race in Vegas this week. Jimmie Johnson will finish second.
The NU basketball team is most likely finished for this year. They will lose Charles Richardson and Marcus Perry. Nebraska will have seven new players next year if they all qualify academically. James Barr is one of the seven who will join the team the second semester. He is a transfer from USC. He has a big body and his specialty is rebounding which NU can use. Charles Richardson will be missed and will be hard to replace. The MVP for the 2006-2007 team.
Doc Sadler makes NU basketball fun and he tells it like it is which the fans like. We hope he is around for a long time and it will be interesting how well his recruits do.
Should the men's NU basketball team go to the NIT?? Let us know. Please make comments.
