2010 Boys State Tournament

I was really impressed with Ogelsby, he can flat out shoot. It seemed like everytime he got a little day light he would score. It will be interesting to see how Ames will guard 6'10" Woodbury on Friday.

I just did a search on here for the same thing. My football coaches just told me he was there. I'm guessing he probably was if someone else saw it too.

Ames up 27-15 over Sioux City East at halftime.

Barnes only shot 3-11 in the 1st half for 6 pts. McDermott with 12.

Second Quarter scoring: Ames-7 Sioux City East-2

Wow.

If SC East could shoot this would be a ball game. McDermott's really playing well though.

I'm sorry, but so far Ames has not been incredibly impressive in the state tourney. This makes their conference look like cake.

Yeah it appears they haven't being playing their best. Maybe they are starting to feel the pressure of trying to be the first back to back undefeated State Champs.

Ames has only shot 5 FTs so far, Barnes shooting 2 compared to last game when they shot 21 with barnes shooting 12. So SC East has done a good job keeping them off the line.

Well the final score of this one really isnt going to indicate what type of game it is, Ames will close it out from the FT line. I really have a hard time believing that this Ames team is the best TEAM in the history of Iowa High School Basketball. Sure they may have the best win streak in the history of basketball in Iowa, but as a team...no. They have one absolute Stud in Barnes, a great player in McDermott, and a few kids who can play high school basketball. IMO, not the best TEAM.

Teams play big come tournament time. I remember last year Ames beat Johnston by like 50 at the end of the season and then only by like 10 in the tournament. Ames has played two poor games so far this tournament, and the other teams have played good games, but they still haven't even really challenged them to any degree.

If this Ames team is the best ever, they ought to be able to elevate their game come tourney time. They pulled away today because of free throws. This was a 6-9 point game. I have no problem putting this Ames team in the top 5 all time in Iowa, best ever though. Not in my mind.

Ames wins 59-46. Good game for McDermott with 23 pts and 13 rebs.

Barnes ended with 11 pts and 8 rebs. 5-14 shooting.

At the very least they're in the discussion for best ever.
