Orangefield clinches DC. 4th consecutive District Championship for Coach Erickson. 2 in 4a and 2 more in 3a.

Absolutely. One of the best staffs in the area. I would guess both assistants will be head coaches in the next few years.

Thanks for the info!  I know they have some really good kids coming up too.  And to be honest, in terms of skill and upside, after Scales, the Thomas kid appeared to me to have the highest ceiling.  He looks like he could be a really good one over the next couple of years.  Did a lot of things pretty well, especially for a sophomore.  But they are definitely losing some key pieces.  Forgot about Rawls.  Wrinkle got most of the praise out of that group (and he definitely deserved it - he played really hard and was super gritty), but all 4 of those guys were indispensable in that run.  Hopefully the young guys coming up will fill in those gaps.  But as we discussed when he was hired, love that we have Whitmire and his staff developing those kids.  

Yes, will be much deeper next year, but Wrinkle will be a huge loss

3 maybe?  Smith, Wrinkle and Rucker?

Agree with all of this. Never would have thought I’d see OF at this level of play consistently. Future is extremely bright for them. 
 
congrats to Hitchcock. Extremely well coached to go along with the talent.

They just have way too much firepower. One of their kids I know well is junior Elijah Sherwood.  Really good kid.  You could argue he’s the third best player on that team.  He would also probably be the best wing in the history of Orangefield basketball.  We would need to shoot the ball as well as we possibly could shoot it even be in the game.  Still a great season for the Bobcats, record setting season in wins and record tying season in playoff wins.  Future is very bright.  

Our one big guy that could possibly contest shots and get rebounds has been in foul trouble the entire game (that would have maybe made this a 25 point game rather than 30 lol)

OF not playing as hard this half 

Agreed, and you do not get second chances against this length and athleticism 

OF playing the slowdown game well, but it’s not bothering Hitchcock at all

Jim Ned over #7 Brock

That was one of the weakest techs I’ve ever seen. Whitmire was close to the other side of the bench not even talking directly to the official. That official was looking to T him up at that point 

This one official needs to get off his high horse
