Would be hard to argue that they aren't the most athletic team in D1, and I am not sure it is close.How good are the Maywood boys? Has anyone seen them play

I think there might be a couple of schools think it's kinda close.Would be hard to argue that they aren't the most athletic team in D1, and I am not sure it is close.
Most athletic and best basketball players are two very different questions IMHO. I assume if you are asking "athletic" the boys from HD might disagree?Would be hard to argue that they aren't the most athletic team in D1, and I am not sure it is close.
Haven't watched HD but I have seen all of the starting five for MHC dunk on someone so there's that.Most athletic and best basketball players are two very different questions IMHO. I assume if you are asking "athletic" the boys from HD might disagree?
I saw HD win a state championship in football… so there’s that?Haven't watched HD but I have seen all of the starting five for MHC dunk on someone so there's that.
Really? I didn't.I saw HD win a state championship in football… so there’s that?
Should clarify. 2021. Lots of those players are still at HD. My bad for lack of information on my post.Really? I didn't.

Not here to defend HD, but shouldn't all that "way better than anybody, and it isn't close" athleticism show up in some other sports? They were bad at football, and neither Med Valley (for the transfers) or Maywood scored any points at state track, near as i can tell. I think they're a really good bb team. In fact, they're the biggest wild card in D1 imo, when looking at how different their schedule is, compared to the other top 4/5 teams. But to say no other teams athleticism is "even close" seems a bit of that DT energy in its own right, doesn't it? And, for the record, DT was right on about them!This guy is giving DT dad energy
Yeah I wish the DT guy would come back just to gloat honestly. He earned that. I'm not saying Maywood is full of the most athletic specimens of all time. I just said that I hadn't seen HD yet and that the question was about Maywood-HC, which I provided what I knew in regards to what I've seen I guess. IT had devolved from there.Not here to defend HD, but shouldn't all that "way better than anybody, and it isn't close" athleticism show up in some other sports?

And they played a primarily class C schedule. Not sure they make it to Lincoln though, they will get a tough draw in the District final reshufflingAinsworth might be on the verge of peaking at the right time of the season??? If Nelson is interested they become dangerous.
No dog in the fight, just couldn't resist being the smart@$$. Lotta respect from HD from a distance from me.Should clarify. 2021. Lots of those players are still at HD. My bad for lack of information on my post.
They played Freeman pretty close that week, that's a better team then they will see here on out.Let’s talk schedule and book of business then. I like Johnson-Brock a lot as well. Solid team and some good quality games.

Johnson-Brock will be a very tough out in D-1. I was at the Freeman game and was quite impressed by them. JB led by 11 or 12 in the first half, but Freeman was just too much for them in the end.They played Freeman pretty close that week, that's a better team then they will see here on out.
I would agree, no fault to them they just didnt face much competition this year and maybe a great team for sure but a lot of unanswered questions at this point The great thing is we will all know for sure in a few weeks, so just a little more patience before blowing that horn would be wiseMHC is hard for me to figure out. I have watched them play numerous times this year and night to night they will have the best athletes on the floor in Southwest Nebraska and it's not even close except for Dundy County. However the quality of boy's basketball here this year is not great.
Their wins against Paxton (2x) and Dundy (3x) are impressive. Those are 2 quality basketball teams.
Their loss to Bertrand and close games with Hitchcock County just can't happen as these are at best average basketball teams nowhere near state tournament quality.
If they get through their sub which is absolutely loaded then that will give a better picture of who they are. They have the athletes to match up with anyone, I think a lot will depend on their draw once they reach the state tournament as they could make a deep run or could also be first round upset. Such an unknown here but definitely a talented group of kids.
That is why it is fun to engage in some back and forth. In the end it all plays out. D1 has lots of mystery. Should be fun watching the subs/district finals as much as state!I would agree, no fault to them they just didnt face much competition this year and maybe a great team for sure but a lot of unanswered questions at this point The great thing is we will all know for sure in a few weeks, so just a little more patience before blowing that horn would be wise
a better question would be, Is maywwod even the favorite to win thier SUBs. if not, then thats your answerHow good are the Maywood boys? Has anyone seen them play?
He can gloat, but if I were him I'd wait a bit. That schedule is not full of state tourney level tests. Feel free to review the record, but I don't remember anyone telling him that DT wouldn't be good. I remember thinking he was super-cringey with his "who's your team?" in your face BS. People around here enjoy good HS basketball and no one was in his face with any "my team is better" talk. It was "they graduated everyone so they might be good so let's wait and see." He's the one that was in everyone's face. They can win state 10 years in a row and it won't change the fact that DT Dad is a tool.Yeah I wish the DT guy would come back just to gloat honestly.

Might be a tool but he was right lol. And I’m not saying I agreed with him at the time but i to hope he comes back for a victory lap if DT does damage at state. I do wonder what happened over in central city the other weekend between those 2 teams as well.He can gloat, but if I were him I'd wait a bit. That schedule is not full of state tourney level tests.

He was right to get in everyone's face with the "who's your team" nonsense? Maybe I'm not doing a good job of making my point - I don't care whether he was right about DT being good. Him saying that DT would be good is not why he was laughed off this board. It had nothing to do with basketball, it had to do with him. What happened in CC? Was there a scuffle?Might be a tool but he was right lol. And I’m not saying I agreed with him at the time but i to hope he comes back for a victory lap if DT does damage at state.

Maywood-Hayes Center hasn't played teams at the level of say, Howells-Dodge schedule. Pierce, Humphrey-LHF, Fort Calhoun, HSF, Wisner-Pilger, Mead, is a lot different than playing Hitchcock County, Garden County, Bertrand, Grant, Paxton, Wallace, etc.Can May-Hay handle this stage is a huge question. No doubt they are athletic, but if they were one of the top basketball teams in D1, they would not have struggled with anybody in southwest Nebraska. The key to beating May-Hay is to pressure the heck out of their guards and don't allow transition baskets. I'm guessing there are at least half a dozen teams in the east that have faced, on a weekly basis, the basketball talent level of May-Hay. The difference is they may not have faced the athleticism that May-Hay possesses. Because of this it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't even qualify for state and it would't surprise me, with the right draw if they played for a state title.
I think we can agree the part that is making it hard on Maywood is the fact the do not schedule much competition year in and year out, it is what cost them last year and maybe the problem this year as well.

I don't know how MHC schedules, but I can't imagine they called Cozad, Gothenburg, Elm Creek, Hershey or Imperial to get them on the schedule.I think we can agree the part that is making it hard on Maywood is the fact the do not schedule much competition year in and year out, it is what cost them last year and maybe the problem this year as well.

Now we're speaking the same language. My money on D1 is on Johnson-Brock or Howells-Dodge, those teams are tested regularly against tough, tough competition. Dark horse is B-R, they've been gradually improving all season, very well coached, and those kids grew up around big games.Maywood-Hayes Center hasn't played teams at the level of say, Howells-Dodge schedule.

Hard for me to pick against the D1 returning state champs with most of the entire team back. Please do not misunderstand me, I expect maywood to make the state tourney and I believe Johnson Brock has a great shot to make the state tourney also Because this year in my opinion you get past the top 8 to 10 teams in each class, the bottom falls out, just doesnt seem to be any middle of the road teams this year.

I'll be very interested in that HD vs BR matchup next Thursday.Now we're speaking the same language.
