Ottawa Hills Game 2 preview

MV faces off against Ottawa Hills tonight on the Bears' home court.  MV won there last time out in a big upset capped by this Jon Krueger dagger...



...defeating the then State Number 7 ranked team 45 - 42.  That was a coming of age game for the current group, but the Bears learned from it and got their revenge in the second game. 

Will OH repeat the pattern this year?  If so, the hopes will rest on their height advantage comprising the front wall of Lucas Janowicz, Geoffery Beans, RJ Coil and AJ King. 

Ottawa Hills comes into the game with a 7-7 record, but have won four out of their last five contests, all four wins coming courtesy of TAAC opponents.  The Bears play a disciplined game this year, scoring an average of 48 points per game while allowing 47.  Maumee Valley won the first game of the 2011-12 season by a 51 - 39 count. 

The OH student section should be in rare form tomorrow, given the quality interaction of the previous game.  But MV will be ignoring the crowd, given the referees' strict shushing ban imposed over the last weeks. 

Make sure to get out to the Village tomorrow for the game.  JV's, as usual start at 6pm, and varsity around 7:30.
