Ottumwa — There are not many basketball teams in the College of Children who traveled more in March to the middle of Kansas in the eyes of Hills Hills.
In fact, only five other programs have been able to reach at least 20 national championships. It’s only that Hills Indone opens his 20th national championship faced by one of these programs.
Vinsenes opened its 39th NJCAA national tournament on Saturday night, scoring a record of 69-51, losing the first day of the match at the Hachinson Sports Arena. The result will only be the second national tournament meeting between the programs that have gathered for 59 games of the national championship.
It doesn’t matter who waited for the warriors on Monday night, Cole Dewey, the first year’s first-year-old coach, was happy when he finally got on the bus with his team to make his journey to Huceson. It’s a journey for several months.
"We have been predicting that we have this. We have spent a long month with the games every Saturday and difficult training between them." Dewey said. "We are anxious and happy that he is here."
Hills (27-5) spent most of the week to acquire their abilities in accurately on a detailed edge that only knows whether it will be either Vinsenis or three rivers that will compete with them. The Warriors left my bullet on Saturday morning and shot down the game on time to look at Trailbzer to win the Raiders.
In addition to Skut’s reports on both assistant coaches, Tree Rex and Solon Ellis could only spend the week for themselves. In this work, the virgins brought a lot of density into the hard trees.
"We are walking tightly at the beginning of the year." Mason Costilo, a first-year Indian student, said Hills said. "The level of density has always remained the same throughout the year. No matter how hard we go, we choose that we want to train for hours. The more intense, the less we have to practice. I think it will put that on the edge this year."
The intensity that the Warriors had shown this week was to prepare for the national championship, enough for their coach. According to Dewey, Hills right at the appointed time to be at its best and move towards this year’s national tournament.
"We were actually supposed to have an exercise before we go on (Saturday morning)." Dewey said. "Boys showed me all the things I had to see on Friday. It was a battle outside. In fact, we had to shorten the training because the boys were pursuing it hard. The level of density and mental participation is certainly there. I feel ready to leave."
The Warriors will need to be present to be sixth national polls against a Venscencie team that finished the season and became one of the eighth-time national championships by joining India with 26-3 games after the season. But Cascaskia left Venice in the quarter-finals of the 24th regional championship, hoping to have a big place to extend 12 national tournaments in the past 13 years.
Trailblazers, who had a second-armed, took 18 points from the 24th Lebron Thomas in the 24th of the year after winning the national championship in the national championship. Michael Cooper came out of the bench and added 14 points to Vinsenis, while Travel Bryson added 10 points and Vincent (27-4) to the Warriors.
Of course, the style of training, the most difficult competition in every season for Indian lines may be Indian lines themselves.
"We try to repeat what every game will be like." Amont Allen-Jonsen, a second-year student at the University of Indian Hills, said. "We know that we are facing a physical team, so we put ourselves in a physical practice. He brought us to the game. We prepared the game."
If history is any sign, the Warriors can be in another post-season game after winning 70-66 in No. 20 in the Nors Center final on March Vinsenes won nine of their nine summits in 10 games in 10 points last year last year, 10 on 10 games, including 10 points, including 75 points from 75 points last season.
Of course, the confrontation of the main programs is not new for the warriors this season. The Independent has made six appearances against five national championship team-mates, 4-2 in the competition, including 76-62 wins against Frank Phillips, which IHCC could face in the national quarter-finals on Wednesday. The game.
"Snow brought us in that game, but we feel very confidence." Ammont-Jonsson said. "I think our defense is our identity. We feel that we and the teams are locking and making other teams losing the strawberries. That game was difficult in Dousn. They were used to scoring 100 points and only 66 points against us. We set a good defensive show. I think we can do that throughout the national championship."
