Congrats CC, think they win by 20+

 

[ObserveAndReport]

Pretty impressive that Northwood is in the final even after this class got split up by Seaforth opening.

Hard not to see CC winning this by as much as they want to. I will say 85-60 CC - and that's being nice.

CC amazes me with the height they have. Only 1 player at 6’5 and the rest shorter. I watched them play one time and they are a well oiled machine. On the other hand Northwood has a 7’0 and couple 6’8 to go with the team. And 6’6 also. Perhaps this could be CC toughest game. But going with Central Cabarrus for the win.

 

[Naquedskwirrels]

Northwood has a 6'5 kid committed to UNC as well. Could be a good game

 

[Vik-Val 86]

Thanks

Pretty good broadcasts in my opinion…. Watched the Myers Park/North Meck game last Saturday on their website

 

[Braves31]

I understand that CC is a fast paced team utilizing a full court press that places opponents in tough situations. Watching Northwood play multiple times this season, I will say it may be difficult to press them for extended periods of time. They have the size and athleticism to pass over their pressing opponents. On the other side of the ball, their defense is the best part of their game. Teams have a hard time scoring against their size and mobility. There have been times when they’ll run a 3-2 defense and place their length around the perimeter. This can be like the Great Wall for teams that don’t match up well.

Halftime

Central Cabarrus 34
Northwood 26

 

[Vik-Val 86]

This has been good one so far. I figure height would be a challenge for Central Cabarrus but they been able to answer with a score when needed to.

 

[Vik-Val 86]

One more period to go. Let’s do it Central Cabarrus

 

[Champ_24]

Score?

 

[Vik-Val 86]

48 - 39 Central Cabarrus with 6:44 left

 

[Vik-Val 86]

Technical foul was on a Northwood player. He has 4 fouls now. That’s the 7 foot guy

 

[Shelby Lion]

Man this Central team is something else... Pressure you on both sides of the floor, i mean coming at you in waves and just run constantly. Impressive team

 

[Hon Dines]

FINAL

Central Cabarrus 65
Northwood 51

 

[Vik-Val 86]

Congratulations to Central Cabarrus. Best team in Central Cabarrus history. Amazing how they could play against this team with height. It’s been fun of keeping up with this team this season. My thoughts was. Bring these guys up to play for the Tarheels and they will win the games. Lol just kidding. But these guys are awesome!!
