Great atmosphere at the Laconia-Mayville boys basketball game last night. One of the best I've seen this year. With a gym that small, I bet that thing was rocking back in the day.
Laconia, to me, seems like a team that is really playing with a lot of confidence right now. In that third quarter, I was really impressed with the aggressiveness with which guys like Kieran Weed took the ball to the basket. That was a prime quarter for a letdown, and the fact that they were able to extend the lead had more to do with the victory than anything else.
Other than Waupun, I think Laconia is best suited for a deep tournament run. Granted, the Spartans will have to meet Oostburg at some point, but I think with the variety of weapons Laconia has at its disposal, it has a shot.
Mayville is probably looking at a 4 or 5 seed, and they'd be quite a dangerous 4 or 5 seed. The top team in its bracket is probably going to be Plymouth, which has gotten where it has basically by being bigger in the post than everyone else. I like the Cardinals to make a run as well, provided they can get someone other than Matt Haass or Tyson Apfelbeck to score for them.

that is mayvilles downfall this year, other then adjusting to a coach, the third best player on there team is a freshman, although a talented freshman at that
Laconia Boys Basketball to me has a huge chance at making it to the top. In order to make it there they need to make some changes. These changes will only benefit the team. One change is to learn how to seriously play as a team and not worry about ones stats. They would domnate on the court with all the talent they have. The should easly score into the 80's. The whole team has shooters. I think the system that they are in holds them back. The post needs to make faster decisions with the ball. Also it doesn't hurt to pass to open players on the court... You would be amazed how good you actually will look when you do play as a team. Take it from someone who knows trust me. Good luck and start to play as a team.
