THE GREAT ONE’S MIDTERM I-MECK 4A REPORT CARDS
Greetings HS hoops junkies from across the rarely sunny piedmont. 'The Sad One is here once again to give out his midterm report cards for the I-MECK 4A conference. 'Key injuries and a surprise season so far from Mallard Creek have the standings off at the moment but the 2nd half is still left. 'We will now separate the chaff from the wheat, the men from the boys, and those who could be Dean’s List bound from those who could end up in summer school, or worse, in the dunce corner. 'The Sadster’s grades are based upon how well a team is doing in comparison to their predicted order of finish, bad losses, upset wins, overall competitiveness of a program, and how injuries have altered a team’s course. 'Teams will be listed in their current order in league standings with their predicted final place in parentheses. 'Let’s hand out some grades………………..
(1) 'NORTH MECK C+': 'VIKINGS WON AT WEST CHARLOTTE AND LAID LUMBER TO VANCE EVEN WITH MAXWELL HAVING THE FLU. 'TOUGHEST ROAD GAME LEFT IS AT VANCE.
(4) 'HOPEWELL B': 'TITANS PLAYED THROUGH THE INJURY TO JONES, HAVE TOUGH ROAD GAMES COMING UP AT NORTH, WC, AND THE CREEK.
(T2) 'WEST CHARLOTTE C': 'HELD SERVE AT HOME VS. VANCE, BUT LOST AT HOME TO NORTH AND A SURPRISE LOSS AT HOPEWELL. 'MUST GO TO NORTH AND VANCE IN THE 2ND HALF.
