Official OA Thread

[bcherry8]

Thank you, its nice to have a place to talk about OA hoops without people like OldSchool78 coming in and clowning. Whichdoesnt mean other people have the right to come in and do that either, so just talk about what the thread was created for please. Thanks

[Section5sportsguy]

OA has struggled the past few games, can they get back on track?

[hilly]

Yeah, what's up with barely beating Byron-Bergen?
Seems like O-A has a ton of talent even without Davis, but B-B isn't exactly on top of the league.

OA had a big lead in the 4th, became complacent, and blew the lead down to 4. plus flannery and partridge has some great games...

[sectionvcrazyfan]

Does not having Davis have an effect on OA not being able to close games?

[boobiemiles]

Does not having Davis have an effect on OA not being able to close games?
no it doesnt

[xxlvbball]

Does not having Davis have an effect on OA not being able to close games?

yea, but it's give have an effect on the other team. Without davis in there, every team is gunna think they can hang until the end becuase there is no single person to close the deal for oa. No one yet anyway.

[boobiemiles]

With oakfield's offense, there's times when they look like they could score every time down the court, which they do for four or five minutes, and then there's time where they just look aweful. i think with davis in the lineup they are a much more consistant team.

The reason why they aren't consistent is because they don't have that star player. I understand you mentioned this but you didn't emphasize the effect a star player has on a team.

Notre Dame is lucky enough to have two and this creates a defensive nightmare for their opponents. Having one star player on the court will draw the majority of the opposing coaches attention. This will make room for your other role players to have big games.
ND, having two of these kind of players, is playing so well because they have the two star players and other players that can put the ball in the basket.

OA needs Davis back to go deep into sectionals. Without him they do not carry that edge that will put them over the top of other teams.

[bcherry8]

Yeah, we had just gone on a run to go up by about fifteen, then our shots just stopped falling and B-B shot a three-ball every chance they got and they were dropping. We just got a little complacent with the big lead, and like boobiemiles said their two best players had big games, but it wasnt enough

[boobiemiles]

oakfield beat holley 66-48

[boobiemiles]

Oakfield-Alabama 66
Holley 48
OA - (5-0) John Gerber 24, (5-3pt FGs); Brad Riner 8, 8 assts; Noah Seward 15, 12 rebs; HLY - Brian Mitchell 14;

[bcherry8]

Good performance, its pretty nice to see what this team can do when the offense is clicking

When are teams going to realize that in order to beat OA they have to not let Gerber shoot. If they take away the three point line from him, anyone can definitely beat OA.

[bcherry8]

Thats not a bad strategy, but Gerber also has the size to be a legitimate threat down low, so if you take away his shooting he can either drive to the hoop or knife in and kick it out to Casey Call or Chris Bucceri, and they can put up three pointers all night

[boobiemiles]

the problem with that is that people do guard gerber, and he still shoots over him. he is not afraid to pull up from 30 feet away with a guy in his face

[Section5sportsguy]

Call is pretty good, but Bucherri wouldnt start for most teams.

You think Gerber is like Lebron James lol. Nothing phases him right? he can bang threes on anyone.

Haahahahaha.

[RepTheV]

teams can definitly defeat OA. Once they see solid D

[boobiemiles]

You think Gerber is like Lebron James lol. Nothing phases him right? he can bang threes on anyone.

Haahahahaha.
o believe me, i don't think he's LBJ23 at all. im just saying that he has been guarded and he's not afraid to pull up from anywhere(and miss from anywhere).

and he has been shut down, against alexander, and we still came out on top

[RepTheV]

as a team the overal offense hasnt been challenged

Can't argue with that.

[boobiemiles]

Can't argue with that.
was that sarcastic?

[Berask]

was that sarcastic?

Believe it or not,

[boobiemiles]

Believe it or not,
Oakfield won tonight, 58-60 over Pembroke. definately an interesting game to watch. i would have to say riner had about 20 points

How did Gerber do? How about Booch?

[boobiemiles]

How did Gerber do? How about Booch?
booch hit a couple mid rangers... prolly like 6 points. gerber hit a few three's pulled down a few boards. nothing spectacular. call passed probably like 6 open 3's. tim smith and brownell played great from the bench with a ton of rebounds, abour 10 combined points and a few blocks and steals, along with a ton of jumped passes. seward got a bunch of rebounds, didn't hit too many shots but never really got the opportunity to work down low. riner had a bunch of great drives and didn't seem to miss a shot or contested layup

Riner played an excellent game, he had some really nice layups, he was fouled on a lot of those drives, but even though no foul was called he still got it to drop just about every time

[cb75839]

actually booch had 12 points and was the second highest scorer on oa...

[boobiemiles]

actually booch had 12 points and was the second highest scorer on oa...
thanks bro. i was just suprised to see you put up that much. especially with that exceptional 3 point shooting ablility.

I think me and stache could beat booch and bugger. o wait we already almost did

[Berask]

I once challenged Booch and he ran away crying. I didn't even get the chance to play him. My 5'7'' frame is just tooooo intimidating.

[cb75839]

are you trying to diss on your own players?

[boobiemiles]

are you trying to diss on your own players?
not at all. i just think that it's a little pathetic when a 2 starters almost lose to 2 scrubs

[cb75839]

well it's a little different when your actually out there than when you're messin around in gym...but ok.

[cb75839]

anyways novs...the point is that we're winning...and we'll be fine, james will be back in around a month which will be a little relieving--anytime you want a re-match between me and bugs, just let us know

[boobiemiles]

anyways novs...the point is that we're winning...and we'll be fine, james will be back in around a month which will be a little relieving--anytime you want a re-match between me and bugs, just let us know
exactly. 6-0 is all that matters right now. we'll take that rematch whenever you two are ready to play for real. that way you can't just say you were messin aroung....


just like when we smoked you guys in pickleball.

[cb75839]

lets leave the pickleball out of this...i had your head spinning with my mind boggling serve...good luck returning that novs ;)

[boobiemiles]

we were like the little giants. we still had that ONE time where we beat you and thats enough. but when it comes to basketball, me and stache win 99 out of 100 times. you just can't beat us now that the season's started

[SectionVDude]

hey O-A like last year Cal-Mum will end your perfect season in the cal-mum xmas tourney :D rmember you heard it hear first go donia woooo

[boobiemiles]

hey O-A like last year Cal-Mum will end your perfect season in the cal-mum xmas tourney :D rmember you heard it hear first go donia woooo
hey buddy. oa didn't have a perfect season going into the cal-mum tournament last year. but thanks anyway cheif.

[boobiemiles]

Oakfield won an incredible game tonight, over division 1 competition Attica. OA led the entire game. we were up 4 at the half, extended the lead to 14 in the third, and attica chipped away to bring the game to within 2 in the last 30 seconds. yet another last minute decision. Riner got a steal with 2 seconds left and OA won 48-46(?).

[TopShelf]

At least a foul shouldn't have been called on the last play. Oh wait, it should have been, you said it yourself last night Novak.

[boobiemiles]

Attica 44
Oakfield-Alabama 46
OA - (7-0) Chris Bucceri 11 (8 in 3rd Q); John Gerber 11; Brad Riner 2, 8 assts; ATT - Derek Wolfley 20;

A very exciting game, it was.

[CAL12]

If o-a is strong this year and Attica is looked at as a strong team as well, would Canisteo-Greenwood be in consideration for an upset minded team this year? They played Attica in the Warsaw tournament and were up 21-6 early on. They led most of the game but ended up losing by 3. they upset Lyons last year at lyons in OT. Just a thought.

[SectionVDude]

where are all my oa crazie hoops fans now hahahaha all i gotta say is 61-58 yeaaa wooo go raiderssss! while oakfield slips to 8 and 1 hahha overrrratttteddddd

[bcherry8]

where are all my oa crazie hoops fans now hahahaha all i gotta say is 61-58 yeaaa wooo go raiderssss! while oakfield slips to 8 and 1 hahha overrrratttteddddd
Why are idiots like this guy allowed to post here? Wait till tomorrow, i can see it now, "Back in 1948 Cal-Mum boys basketball team defeated Webster-Thomas 67-63," or some garbage like that.

[boobiemiles]

so now i think we can classify a team as being awful if they allow a 30-0 run....


o yeah lyndonville let up a 30-0 run against oakfield with the reserves in. holley did better than that

[OA Hornet]

29-0 run there buddy

[boobiemiles]

paper said 39-0, source on the team told me 30-0

[OA Hornet]

oops... i ment 39-0. I remember being dissappointed that we couldnt get 40

[boobiemiles]

did we put the reserves in or what

[OA Hornet]

Not till 3 min left in the 4th quarter. He put in Jocquice with 0:35 sec in the 2nd but thats pretty much it.

[TurnTwo]

Classy.

[boobiemiles]

very..

[allstar54]

well when davis come back, oakfield will have his leadership along with gerber and call's with riner at the point... he knows how to take control of a game in just one possesion

[hilly]

Is there any news on Davis?
I spoke to him before the Attica game and he said that he planned on coming back after the break, which would be about now.
Davis has so much game it's insane, but I would be worried about how he's going to fit in with how the team has been playing. Davis can take a game over by himself, but it really seems like Oakfield isn't going to need him to drop 20 a game like he is used to.

Shh.... its a secret... not really though.

He seems to be getting his strength back. I guess it still hurts to jump so its still up in the air whether or not he will play on thursday.

[Monkey0713]

[Monkey0713]

[boobiemiles]

Seriously?
yeah. it depends on his strength ability to jump and sprint

[hilly]

i've known bochicchio a lot longer and he's going to be my intern-biatch when he gets done with high school. i don't think wolf or anderson are interested in media. bochicchio gets a higher spot on my friends list because i'm going to boss him around in a few months.
