I was surprise to not see mountain view full court press this year.. What happened to that? last year they actually competed with AF last season.. They disk loose any players? wrong move there by the coach?

Go Bruins!!
Don't let 'em get you down, put that behind & go forward..You are still the team to beat. American Fork is a good team thats all, but you can always challenged them anytime , anywhere. You beat 'em last year so whats the big deal.
Play hard and practice hard thas the only formula. Rely on your guards on defense. They can stop the other team's play. Watch for your passes and practice you shots.

You will win the State 4A if you stick to your regular game.

Mountain View doesn't have a full court press although they certainly have the athletes to have a great press. They have all their quick girls back from last years team. My understanding is the new coach doesn't like full court presses. In my view that's a big mistake with the defense talent he has.

It wouldn't matter if MV pressed with 10 people, AF is AMAZING!

I don't think mountain view will win state in 4a, Springville will beat them by at least 10 and Sky View the defending state Champs who only lost 2 players from last year will run them out of the gym by half time. Sky View Wins 4A!!!!!

Riverton will beat | 5:49 p.m. Jan. 4, 2009

American Fork in the final.

Hey B Jones you might want to check last years score. It was AF 66 MV 53.

AF WILL WIN STATE IN 2009!!! DEFENCE WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!!!

What? | 12:45 p.m. Jan. 5, 2009

Deseret News has Mountain View ranked up there pretty high and they get beat by more than 20? I heard American Fork played their JV the last 5 or 10 minutes of that game too.

DEFENCE?

American Fork has to be the favorite with Riverton and Bingham chasing right behind (and a young Syracuse team getting better and better every week).

MV is not the favorite in 4A. Skyview is clearly better and yes, you loud Springville fans have reason to be loud (though not obnoxious). Springville has talent and should beat MV by 10+.

It is great seeing MV back to competing. I agree with someone who said they should be pressing. You can't have a philosophy of not wanting to press. What will the coach do when they are down 10 with 4 to go? Play his half court zone?

Big games this week.

I'm not dogging this skyview team. Their schedule looks pretty easy to me. I would like to see them against riverton,american fork, bingham,syracuse are lone peak during the preseason. Everyone of their games are just blowouts. either their real good are the other teams in their conference aren't that good. Is their a team in that conference that would give them a problem.
