A couple of pretty cool matchups at 4 and 5:45 Saturday. Let’s take a look at these games so you’ll be prepared.
Doniphan-Trumbull (16-3) vs. Norfolk Catholic (11-8) {4:00pm)
How about this matchup Tino Martinez lined up? A traditional C-1 power from the Northeast against a C-2 power from Central Nebraska. Both teams have speed to burn and love to run. D-T is coming off a state football title and the same superb cast runs the basketball show.
Doniphan-Trumbull has a very nice combination of inside and outside excellence. Jordan Slough handles the ball as the floor general and Lorenzo Williams, all 5-7 of him, is lightning fast on both sides of the ball and can drain the trey. The Cardinals are long and athletic with Creighton Buhr, Riley Wiltfong and Grady Koch. Buhr is an all-state type player that can hurt you inside or outside. (more…)
