EL lost?

last Wednesday. After the first quarter, EL was barely in the game.

Pretty intense full court press, held Brandon Johns to 7 points. Kzoo Central had 8 seniors - so pretty mature, experienced. Big, strong and quick.

They play Grand Rapids Christian tomorrow night at Eastern.

Did EL play chicken against Livers?

This dude should start a buddy cop show about him and his ballsy super gung-ho partner called Livers and Onions.

EL got into fowl trouble.

I'm outraged

He's got onions.

Tillman actually won. He is going to celebrate the award with Justin Verlander.

ONIONS!

went to the Grand Rapids Christian/Kalamazoo Central quarterfinal game last night. Don Johnson Field House was standing room only - place was packed with people standing 3-4 rows deep on the railing at the top of the gym.

My thoughts: Livers is a lot more fluid player.. nice touch from outside and seems to be more of a 3 guard. Tillman was a man among boys. Reminded me of Swanigan in terms of his body type. Big, thick and powerful - Kalamazoo Central couldn't really stop him when he got the ball on the block.

GR Christian won 66-46 - they jumped on Central early and led the entire game. Central cut it to 3 in the 3rd quarter but couldn't get over the hump. Livers had a bit of an off night - Tillman was pretty impressive but I do think it helps that he clearly seemed to have a better supporting cast of teammates.

Looks like GR Christian will be playing Romulus on Friday in the semi-finals. Go Romulus!

Good report, Bob. 

Picking up where Oscar Madison left off.

I honed my "staff writer" chops last April at the spring game.. I do what I can for the benefit of the board.

Pretty big disparity in Tilamans supporting cast and the level of coaching each school has.
