The Brothers Barton

I got a chance to see Will and Antonio Barton face off against each other today at Pembroke Academy, in the finals of the NH Prep School Classic, where Will's Brewster Academy, of Wolfboro NH, beat Antonio's Notre Dame Prep, of Fitchburg MA, 93-89 in overtime.

Antonio scored 10 points, and played steady basketball at the point, for much of the game. Will was the slasher, and played all but one minute of the contest, which might account for the way he seemed to pace himself during the game.

In college I would expect he will learn to play with high intensity at all times, and isn't this a challenge for almost every freshman, in division one.

It's not that Will is lackadasical. I was impressed with the way he orchestrated the team. He was clearly the leader. Clearly the one who managed the on-court huddles, and directed the defense.

And when he has the ball in his hands, in the half court, there is no one who can stop him from getting to the rim, or at least within jump shot range.

He scored twenty five points, including an important bucket with less than a minute left in the overtime, and one three pointer, in the opening minutes of the second half.

Brewster has a lot of guns, and plays like your high level travelling AAU team, with speed and elbows and jams.

At one point the team on the floor was 6'10" Maurice Walker (undeclared, ESPN center #8) , 6'7" C.J. Fair (Syracuse bound, ESPN small forward #12), 6'6" Melvin Ejim (Iowa State bound, ESPN small forward #68), 6'6" Will Barton (Memphis bound, ESPN shooting guard #1), and 6'1" Ashton Kahn (undeclared, ESPN point guard #121).

Perhaps it's because Kahn is more of a combo guard, and not too likely to be the pure distributor, but Will was left to basically create his own shot, which was fine when he had the ball in his hands.

He has a sweet flutter step, and the defender never knows which way he is going to go, and whether he is going to go to the rim, or stop for a short jumper.

But as a shooting guard, Will never came off a screen to take a pass, and make the shot. In fact, I don't think anyone got an assist, feeding Will the ball, at any point in the game.

Which is another way of saying, I guess, that Will didn't seem to move well without the ball. But perhaps this is just the style that Brewster plays, where Will is being asked to take the ball and be creative.

On defense, Will was all over the court, with five steals/deflections, but at times he was gambling too much, found himself out of position, and got burned.

And on one such occasion it was brother Antonio, who blew past him to the rim.

A little off topic, Guys... I have a question. A week ago I discovered this site:
[url=http://www.rivalspot.com]Rivalspot.com - Play Ps3 tournaments for cash[/url]
They say you can play online EA sports game tournaments on any console for cash... had anyone tried that before? Looks like a cool idea...
Are there any other sites where you can play sports games for real moneys? I Googled and found only Bringit.com and Worldgaming.com but it looks these guys don't specialize in sport gamez. Any suggestions?

Reading these kind of posts reminds me of just how technology truly is ever-present in this day and age, and I am fairly confident when I say that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.


I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as the price of memory falls, the possibility of downloading our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could see in my lifetime.

Electronic memory,to me, is something that I seem to be unable to ever have enough of. It's as if megabytes and gigabytes have become a permanent part of my day to day existence. Ever since I bought a Micro SD Card for my DS flash card, I've been constantly vigilant for large memory at cheap prices. I feel like I'm going insane.

I am the kind of guy who loves to seek innovative stuff. Currently I'm building my hold solar panels. I am doing it all by myself without the help of my men. I'm utilizing the net as the only path to acheive that. I ran across a very brilliant site that explains how to contruct solar panels and wind generators. The web site explains all the steps involved in solar panel construction.

I'm not exactly sure bout how accurate the info given there is. If some people over here who had experience with these works can have a see and give your feedback in the page it will be great and I'd extremely value it, because I really would love to try [URL=http://solar-panel-construction.com]solar panel construction[/URL].

Thanks for reading this. U people rock.
