Couple coach sightings and notes from Hutchinson kansas juco tournament

[AdaSooner]

Marquise Carter and Three Rivers are into the semifinals. Carter had 26. Also saw a highlight where he hit a three, so he does shoot more than just layups and free throws.

The Three Rivers game is being replayed on the NJCAA web site (see link below). I'm watching it now. I have been a lot more impressed with Carter so far. He's playing with more energy and really getting after it on defense, something I did not see in last night's game.

What kind of hands does washington have? Can he catch a bounce pass? We need someone that loves defense and can play inside...

Navarro and Three Rivers is going to be a great semifinal game. Players to watch are Marquise Carter (Three Rivers), Matt Pressey (Navarro) and Darian Thibodeaux (Navarro). Navarro can really play with good perimeter defenders so it will be interesting to see how Carter does against them.

The 3 constants of life:

1. Death
2. Taxes
3. Gene Bess coaching Three Rivers, & doing it darn well. The article doesn't mention it, but of those 1,402 games that it does mention, he's won 1,113 of them.
