Remember my post about Freeport being fun-bad?
Well, it's more than that after a really awful performance against Boylan Friday night. Granted, the Titans are better offensively and have distinct height advantages against the Pretzels, but there was no fight in the guys.
Come on! How many kids have to tell you that they didn't come out with enough intensity to know the team came out flat and almost like they knew they'd lose?
I'll up the audio later.
I know Boylan is a 4A school, but they've always been rivals with the Titans, so that's no excuse.
Freeport can't allow that attitude to ruin the team's chances of clinching a regional and even a sectional this year.

Pretz one game back to Normal
One more game.
That's what the Freeport girls basketball team has to be thinking after last night's win against Oswego, 55-47.
Here's five observations from last night's game
1. Could there have been worse officiating?
I'd like to first state for the record that I'm not the type of person to berate officiating, but goodness there were some bad calls Thursday night.
How do you call a one-and-one free throw with just five fouls committed -- in HIGH SCHOOL?
And check out this clear travel by Kelsey Hoefer (sorry) at :52 :
Seriously, that was the first really bad call.
And everyone remembers the imagined timeout near the end of the game. Just all around awful.
2. Caitlin Greene really stepped up
With a crowd of four 1,000-point scorers on the Freeport team, it's easy to step to the side. But when Katie Norman was visibly sick to her stomach (lots of vomiting throughout the day), Caitlin Greene stepped up with a few steals and 10 points to boot.
She keeps that up, and Freeport might have a legit chance of going downstate again, if not much more.
3. Hoefer continues to come through in big moments
Hoefer was the first to respond to the hellfire and brimstone speech by Freeport coach Ryan Pierce Monday night, and showed up again with 10 points last night.
But this isn't the first time she's shown that she's much better than she started after she returned from an ankle injury suffered before the start of the season.
4. Much better free-throw shooting since last week
It's no secret that the Pretzels have struggled of late from the line. But it did, as Freeport finished the game 21-of-28 (75 percent), and went 14-of-15 in the second half (93 percent).
If Freeport could do that against Johnsburg ... I think you get my drift.
5. Pretz aren't settling for anything less than a championship
You could just tell in the players' faces, sectional championships don't mean much anymore.
Last year, Freeport was estatic. This year, eh.
The goal is simple: become the best Freeport team in girls basketball history.

My 3A/4A ballot
This is the first year I've had the opportunity to vote for the 3A/4A All State players. And seeing as I've now had a year to observe and really dissect some of the best players in the state (really in 3A more than anything), I figured I'd partake.
It's been fun this year covering the Freeport girls basketball team because it's given me the opportunity to see some of the future womens players we could hear a lot about in the future.
So without further ado ... here's my 2008-09 3A/4A All State nominations (with analysis of each player):
3A First Team
Adrienne GodBold, Marshall
Best player on the best team in the state in Class 3A.
Mariah Smith, Peoria Richwoods
Similar build to GodBold and just as much as a matchup problem each night. She’ll receive plenty of media attention downstate, should they make it.
Katie Norman, Freeport
Out-of-position point guard that has scored 1,000 points and set up three other seniors to 1,000 as well this season. Great floor vision for player more suited at the 2-guard position.
Whitney Holloway, Montini
She is perhaps one of the toughest guards in the state to defend.
Chloe Barnes, QND
Multi-talented guard who can run a fast, up-tempo offense with the best of them.
Second Team
Suporia Dickens, Freeport
Very unorthodox forward who benefits from her track athleticism. Takes a beating in the post and can still make tough shots. Rebounding has digressed from a year ago.
Karlee Gengenbache, QND
She’s almost just as responsible for Quincy’s undefeated regular seasons as Barnes is. Solid shooter.
Brooke Bisping, Morton
Fifty-three straight free throws? Wish I could see her play.
Courtney Shiffer, Freeport
Freeport coach Ryan Pierce said it best: she’s the one who has the biggest performances in the biggest games.
Shiffer didn’t shut Montini’s Michala Johnson down, but she did make her night tougher last year in the state semis.
Didn’t do a bad job against 4A Boylan’s Brea Edwards either.
Without a doubt, she’s the Pretzels’ best defender, taking opponent’s best offensive threat
Monica Albano, Trinity
Haven’t seen much of her, but for Trinity to be this good, she deserves the recognition.
4A
First team
Brea Edwards, Boylan
In an otherwise pourous NIC-10, Freeport struggled against Boylan and Edwards was the reason why. She’s improved greatly since her freshman year and will be the talk of Rockford for the next two years.
Morgan Tuck, Bolingbrook
She’s always mentioned in the Sun-Times Top 25 rankings. She seems to be a very impressive freshman that averaged a double-double.
Porsha Harris, Young
Chanise Jenkins, Young
Tricia Liston, Fenwick

Chicago (Loyola U.) Super-sectional has to be the toughest
I know I'm not breaking any news here, but in Class 3A girls basketball, is there any doubt that the Chicago (Loyola University) Super-sectional is the hardest to get out of in the state?
Marshall, the defending state champs, are in the same Super-sectional as Montini! The Broncos finished third in the state. Marshall will play Crane in the sectional semifinal. Semifinal, folks.
Should Marshall advance, they'll play Trinity (River Forest) — a team ranked in the Illinois Prep Girls Poll.
Should the Commandos advance again, they'll likely play Montini to reach the state tournament. Are you kidding me?
It wouldn't be a stretch to say the winner of that Super-sectional will likely win state. It doesn't get much tougher than this.

Pretzels lack killer instinct, nearly lose sectional semifinal
The primary reason Freeport girls basketball coach Ryan Pierce let the team have it with 6:13 left in the third quarter is because the Pretzels have rarely shown something all year.
Killer instinct. Pierce has told me before that the game comes to easy for the girls sometimes, and that attitude nearly cost them everything last night.
That instinct is in all of them, but this year it's taken a lot for them to get in that mode. The Pretzels can't let that happen again in the sectional final, or they will lose. Badly.
Hoefer was the leader Monday night
Courtney Shiffer was the one who helped the Pretzels get out of their slump in the second half against Sterling last week. Kelsey Hoefer was the one who responded quickly after the hellfire and brimstone speech was delivered, scoring five points immediately.
Pierce on speech and Kelsey afterwards -
I edited a couple things on the audio, one for the questions asked that weren't important, and one edit because ... well, you'll have to ask about that.
Here's an interesting insight from Hoefer about the halftime locker room speech we didn't hear and the third quarter speech:
Hoefers interesting insight -
I can't tell you if they need speeches like that every night ... for the most part these girls do know what they're doing.
But there is no next year for these seniors. A sense of urgency was needed Monday night.

Buckwalter just made it official
The Highland womens basketball team is the No. 1 seed in the Region IV tournament. Cougars coach Dean Buckwalter just called about a half-hour ago to confirm they're No. 1.
Highland will now have the much-needed luxury of resting until March 4, when the Cougars play the winner of fourth seeded Sauk Valley against fifth seeded Malcolm X.
That means Jackie Barton can rest her shoulder and Mallory Magee can get well.
No. 2 Kennedy-King will play No. 3 Black Hawk East. That's correct ... there's a chance the Cougars can get a rematch against BHE for the Region IV championship, should both teams advance.
And here's the brackets for the RIV tourney.

Region IV sewed up
The Highland womens basketball team, in all likelihood, clinched the No. 1 spot in the Region IV tournament.
That's a huge advantage for the Cougars, especially considering the team will be on its on home court. Highland has a shot of winning the Region IV title since 2006.
It's possible that the Cougars could be good enough to reach the National Tournament if it keeps up the offense and defense. Jackie Barton appears to be in better health after her 21-point performance against Carl Sandburg. She scored 10 against Kennedy-King, while her teammates, point guard Alexi Tann and forward Mallory Magee also have been very important to the team's success.

Freeport girls will be challenged in sectional semifinal
Freeport coach Ryan Pierce said that the Hampshire is similar to the Pretzels ... as in their balanced as a team.
Hampshire was, at one point during the season, ranked in Class 3A but dropped off the list pretty quick.
Should be a tough contest, from what Pierce told me.
Then again ... a coach will be always be paranoid, no matter how good or bad the competition.

5 things I've learned about Freeport's boys b-ball team
1. The Pretzels play behind ... often
I can't remember the last time, against a good NIC-10 team, the Freeport boys basketball team has not had to crawl back into a game.
2. Freeport games always bring excitement
670 The Score's Dan Bernstein would probably call this team "fun-bad." I won't go that far, because this team is really good ... except it has too many lapses to be a top-tier NIC-10 conference team.
Keep in mind, the Pretzels are a Class 3A team, while the best teams in the conference (Hononegah, Boylan) are Class 4A. It's still not clear what happened to them against Guilford, but this team will always give a good effort and provide one heck of a challenge to every team it faces.
3. The Pretzels would be so much better if ...
... the team would just stay within the offense. Too many times, a player or two or even three will not remain patient and jack up a shot.
Granted. there's times for that ... but it seems like they have their own shot clock going on in their heads ... when it's high school ball.
Patience is a virtue. Especially in basketball.
4. Ryan Hickey has had some impressive second-half moments
He's an exciting second-half player. He had an impressive block that reminded Hononegah last night that the Pretzels still had a pulse in the second quarter. It was almost like an Austin Davis block.
5. And speaking of which ...
Davis could be a serious NIC-10 MVP nominee next year if the Pretzels are in a running for a conference crown. Post presence, perimeter jumper and a 3-point shot that is dangerous if left open.
He could be the reason Freeport could actually win a regional, if not a sectional, once the playoffs start.

QNC lost yesterday
No. 1 ranked Quincy Notre Dame (very arguable from my personal point of view), a girls basketball team that finished fourth in the state a year ago, lost Thursday night to Highland (not the community college in Freeport), 42-41.
Notre Dame went into the state semis with an undefeated record, but lost its final two games of the year in Normal. This year, QNC was undefeated up until Thursday night.
No. 10 Marshall (21-6)-- a team that plays Class 4A schools in the CPS (Chicago Public Schools) League -- No. 7 Freeport (26-3) and No. 6 Montini (25-4) still remain in regional play.
No. 2 ranked Richwoods is also alive.
The Pretzels will face Sterling for the regional championship game tonight starting at 7:30 p.m.
Should Freeport advance, the team will advance to the sectional semifinal against Hampshire next Monday at 6 p.m.

Cougs clinch
Just wanted to give a congrats to the Highland womens basketball team for the accomplishment of winning conference, 56-54, against Carl Sandburg.
They defeated the 5-time champs, which is quite the feat.
So much for Jackie Barton being hurt and all. She finished with 21 points!
Be sure to check The Journal-Standard newspaper for coach Dean Buckwalter's quotes and the J-S Web site tonight for more.
Also, there will more than likely be some type of notebook to hear more from the women on their great accomplishment.

Pretz win in thriller
More on this 51-50 win for the Freeport boys basketball team at The Journal-Standard Web site and on Joey's Above the Fold
Sterling in the house
Freeport's boys basketball team has had a bit of a rivalry with Sterling in the past few years.
Two seasons ago, Sterling took the Pretzels out of the IHSA Class 2A Rock Falls Regional semifinal. Last year, Freeport beat Sterling on the Golden Warriors' home court, 50-42.
But in the Dixon Regional final, Freeport again lost in the first game of the playoffs.
Tonight, Freeport will try to beat Sterling again in the regular season, as regional seeding is coming ever closer.
The Pretzels and host-Golden Warriors are in the same regional again this season.

Pretzels drop to sixth in Class 3A
The Freeport girls basketball team (22-3, 13-0 NIC-10) dropped to sixth place in the Associated Press Girls Prep Poll after a loss this weekend to Monroe, 52-41, in Wisconsin.
Montini (23-4) is ranked fifth, while Peoria Richwoods has risen all the way up to No. 2, sitting on top of a 26-2 record.
The Pretzels had a tough weekend, with back-to-back games with Auburn and Monroe -- two teams that have been very physical this season.
Last night the Pretzels beat Hononegah, 53-33, and are now just three games away from winning the conference title and remain undefeated in the NIC-10 for the second year in a row.
Tonight, the Pretzels face Guilford on the road.

Kelsey Hoefer scored her 1,000th point.

Gaters recipient of the Morgan Wootten Award For Lifetime Achievement in Coaching High School Basketball
Congrats to Dorothy Gaters, (Chicago) Marshall girls basketball coach for receiving such a tremendous honor.
Gaters is actually familiar with my Dad, who is a retired K-8 basketball coach from Delano. Also, my mother attended Marshall High School and remembers way back when Gaters was relatively new to the school (and I believe before she became the varsity head coach ... but I haven't verified that with Mom just yet).
Marshall is the IHSA Class 3A defending state champions from 2007 and defeated Freeport in the state championship game, 58-47. As stated in the Chicago Sun-Times' Yourseason.com, Gaters has won eight state championships and has entered into the state tournament finals 23 times in her illustrious career.
Gaters has more than 900 wins in her 30-year career.

One emotional Senior Night coming up Friday
Kelsey Hoefer is just four points away from scoring her 1,000th point, which would make her the 10th Freeport girls basketball player to do so in program history, and the fourth senior on the team this season.
Auburn is no pushover, judging from its last game in which the Pretzels won, 56-37. But considering it's Senior Night -- the same night all four players likely will become the first four-group senior class to each score 1,000 career points and the last time Hoefer, Courtney Shiffer, Suporia Dickens and Katie Norman will play at home in their high school careers -- I'd expect the team to do very well Friday.
There's so much here. Feb. 6 will be one of the more memorable games those four will experience.
