With the flip of a coin, Bronson boys went from the ugly fourth seed (facing Hawthorne) in the district tournament to the much more hopeful three seed (facing Oak Hall).
Bronson has lost twice to Oak Hall this season, by six points at home and by 12 away. The Eagles have feel-good wins against quality teams outside their district (and classification), like Union County and Chiefland, but have stumbled against good, but beatable teams in the district, like Oak Hall and Bell.
On paper, Bronson has more talent and chemistry than anyone but Hawthorne, with starters like all-around scorer James Rivers, wiley point C.J. King and all-out defender Rodolfo Contreras. Those three are seniors; lane-buster Kelby Barber, a junior, is a mean rebounder and shot blocker. This combination alone exceeds the arsenal of pretty much anyone else in the district except the orange Hornets. Bell has monster soph James Thomas, but Bronson really looks like the package.
That said, the maroon Eagles have put the zap on the blue this year. Now would be a good time for Bronson to snap out of it. Oak Hall doesn't even have Skyler Neale and Luke DiPerna any more. With the best point and best inside combination in the district, the Eagles should wake up and believe in themselves this coming week.
Tonight (Friday) is Senior Night for the Eagles; on Tuesday, districts start.
