St. Edward (19-4) vs. Strongsville (19-4)

This is another game which will be a rematch of a hotly-contested regular season encounter. Early in the season the Eagles got by the Mustangs, 78-71. Since then, the Eagles have been on a tear, recording 13 consecutive victories.

St. Edward survived a moderate scare in the B-W District championship before pulling away from Brecksville-Broadview Heights in the fourth quarter. Otherwise, they have been relatively untested over the past five weeks.

Strongsville, on the other hand, needed a late surge to knock off Elyria in the Grafton District final. Their semifinal game was no cakewalk either, as Admiral King took the Mustangs into overtime.

Strongsville wants a fast-paced game and want to simply outscore their opponents. St. Edward will try to slow it down, get in their offensive sets and utilize their size. If the game remains close, Strongsville may have the advantage as their last two games have gone down to the wire.

St. Edward will look to its star, Delvon Roe, to take over the game and get production from its supporting cast. Reid Anderson and Jeff Aerni are equally capable of getting hot and taking over ballgames. The Eagles must neutralize Strongsville's dynamic scorer Kyle Brown. The Mustangs do have some solid depth however. But, if they can keep Brown in check, St. Edward will likely move on.

Prediction: St. Edward 70 Strongsville 62

Lose to Strongsville

Canton -- As the other half of Strongsville's "Kyle combo," senior guard Kyle Cobb said: "We just weren't going to give up. This is our year."
No matter how this year ends, Cobb, all-district senior forward Kyle Brown and the rest of the Mustangs will be remembered for going further than any other boys basketball team in Strongsville history.
The Mustangs, on the strength of two free throws by Brown with 3.4 seconds left, six 3-pointers by Cobb and the hustle of senior post Nick Bendzuck, stunned St. Edward, 65-63, Wednesday night in a Division I boys basketball regional semifinal at the Memorial Civic Center.
Strongsville, which trailed by 12 points early in the fourth quarter, improved to 20-4 and advanced to Saturday's 7:30 p.m. regional championship game at the University of Toledo. The Mustangs will make their first Elite Eight appearance against perennial Toledo power St. John's Jesuit (20-5).
"It's every high school kid's dream," said Brown after he calmly canned the clutch free throws and finished with a team-best 27 points, 16 in the second half.
The Mustangs started strong. On the strength of a layup by Brown off a steal, an assist by Bendzuck and a 3-pointer by Brown, they led, 12-2, with 4:24 remaining in the opening quarter.
A three-point play by sophomore forward Tim Kamczyc and a reverse layup along the baseline by Brown pushed Strongsville's lead to 15 points.
St. Edward (19-5), which had difficulty with the Mustangs' pressure in the early going, seemed to come to life offensively when all-district sophomore post Delvon Roe slammed home two points on the last play of the first quarter.
Trailing by 13 points after the first eight minutes, the Eagles went on a 14-2 run that featured a soft, driving one-hander by senior guard Reid Anderson, a steal and slam dunk by Roe, a 3-pointer by Anderson and two more slams by Roe. The 6-8 Roe led all scorers with 28 points.
With Roe continuing to hurt Strongsville down low, St. Edward led by 10 points entering the final eight minutes. Cobb's fourth 3-pointer made it a nine-point game, but Roe countered with a three-point play and the Eagles had a 12-point cushion early in the final quarter.
The Mustangs, picking up their defensive pressure again and riding three key 3-pointers, including one by junior guard Nate Korinchak and two more by Cobb, cut the deficit to 62-61 on a three-point play by Brown with 55.8 seconds remaining.
Champion of the Pioneer Conference, Strongsville then offset eight pressure free throws by St. Edward junior guard Matt Salay with a layup by senior guard Jacob Prahst off a steal and an assist by Bendzuck, who saved the ball along the baseline in the final six seconds.
Eagles coach Eric Flannery, who watched his team's 13-game winning streak get snapped, praised the Mustangs for "busting their butts and never quitting."

Boys Basketball Preseason Top 25


Thursday, November 30, 2006

2. St. Edward (19-5): Led by one of the nation's best in 6-8 junior Delvon Roe, the Eagles have aspirations of being in Ohio State's Value City Arena March 22-24, and not as spectators. Along with Roe, coach Eric Flannery can call on veterans Matt Salay (guard), Kyle Hubbard (forward), Frankie Dobbs (point guard) and Tom Pritchard. Flannery believes Pritchard, a 6-9 junior, will develop into one of the top post players in Ohio. And remember the name Pe'Shon Howard. The 6-1 freshman has game.

HIGH SCHOOL BOYS BASKETBALL#2 ST. EDWARD 83TOLEDO ST. JOHN'S 60

Eagles too deep, too tough, too fast; crush Titans

Sunday, December 10, 2006 Eddie Dwyer

Plain Dealer Reporter

Deep and athletic, with a commitment to defense and team play.
Those are just some of the facets that make St. Edward an exceptional basketball team.
The Eagles, unleashing their athleticism and defensive pressure from the get-go Saturday night, dominated a highly regarded Toledo St. John's program, 83-60, in a boys basketball nonleague headliner that at tracted a standing- room-only crowd to St. Edward.
Among the attendance of 1,580 were Michigan coach Tommy Amaker and Michigan State coach Tom Izzo. They took in a 30-point performance by the player they came to see - Eagles gifted 6-8 junior forward / post Delvon Roe.
"It's great, it's great, it shows me how hard I worked this summer," said Roe of Amaker and Izzo being on hand for St. Edward's season opener. "They want to come and see our team play. They know we have a great program here at St. Edward, and they want to see some good basketball played. And, I think that's what they saw tonight."
Roe, who has trimmed his long recruiting list to a fab five of Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Kansas and North Carolina, kept putting the emphasis on team. He couldn't have been more astute when it came to the Eagles' performance.
With Roe drawing fouls inside and he and 6-5 senior forward Kyle Hubbard passing unselfishly, 6-8 junior post Tom Pritchard controlling the defensive glass and 6-4 senior guard Matt Salay scoring from long-range, St. Edward stormed to a 46-20 halftime lead.
About the only thing the Eagles didn't do well in the early going was hit free throws. They were 13-of-27 from the line in the first half, with Roe connecting on 9-of-16 in the first 16 minutes.
"He is a tremendous all-around talent - athletic, skilled, unselfish and he plays hard, " said St. John's coach Ed Heintschel of Roe. "He's the whole package. We just did not respond well to them all night, in any phase of the game."
The Titans (2-1), Division I state semifinalists last season, never got back in the game after halftime.
Salay's fourth 3-pointer made the score 50-20 and other third-quarter highlights included a Hubbard transition layup off a Salay assist and a two-handed dunk by Roe off a steal and assist by Hubbard.
The two-handed monster was one of four dunks by Roe, who also contributed five assists and four blocks.
"Delvon's a great player, but in order to be successful you have to have a great team," said Eagles coach Eric Flannery. "And with the different combinations we can use this year, we have the potential to be a great team."

Euclid senior James Thomas stands 6-1 but today, the linebacker feels as tall as the Empire State Building.

It was Thomas who blocked an extra-point attempt with 4:18 remaining that proved the difference when the Panthers edged visiting St. Edward, 14-13, in a nonleague football upset Thursday night at Sparky DiBiasio Stadium.

"I came in from the right side," said Thomas, explaining his clinching block. "They gave me an opening and I took it."
