Mind you, neither will anybody else who was there before tip, when the 6A boys title game was preceded was preceded by a rendition of the National Anthem on an electric guitar so bonkers, i t sounded more like Spinal Tap’s jazz odyssey before a festival crowd than the works of Francis Scott Key. “Because you never know if you’re going to get that opportunity again.” Just go out there, enjoy the moment and just make the most of it,” father told son. “Don’t put any more pressure on yourself. Especially after the way a tired Cole and a concerned Chad hashed out a mental game plan Saturday morning. “I think after this performance, this (game), these (CHSAA) playoffs, things will open up for us,” Chad Scherer said. You’re really gonna let the Roadrunners swoop in and steal this one out from under your beaks? Yet while Crawford’s bound for Boulder, the best player in the 6A title game is heading into his last summer as a prep with just one offer in his pocket: MSU Denver. “I talked to her about this,” Scherer quipped. “Geez.”Ī few hours before the Valor boys notched their title, the Eagles’ girls hoops team won the 6A crown, thanks in large part to Scherer’s counterpart in the backcourt, superb guard Quinn VanSickle. “They didn’t?” Scherer replied incredulously when a reporter read off the stats. The Grizzlies didn’t make a field goal in the fourth quarter. Led by Scherer and Mandes, the Eagles put down the clamps defensively, limiting ThunderRidge to a bonkers 4-for-23 shooting clip in the second half. “Didn’t say much (to him after the game),” Scherer said, “but I told him, ‘Great game.’ He’s a heck of a player.”

If Crawford started dribbling with his back to the basket, Mandes was waiting for him, elbow attached into the small of No. Give an assist to Valor’s Ryan Mandes, who used his defense to turn in one of the better zero-point performances in 6A championship history. Crawford toughed it out the rest of the way, but the four-star guard struggled to find his shot, and was held scoreless after halftime. The future Big 12 guard staggered to the ThunderRidge bench, where he got his right knee rubbed down. It probably didn’t help that the cat-quick, 6-foot-6 Crawford had fallen hard to the floor on a cut about 50 seconds into the second half. “Great player,” longtime Grizzles coach Joe Ortiz said of the Valor junior. But Scherer was almost assuredly the best, averaging 28.5 points and 4.5 treys in decisive wins over Smoky Hill and ThunderRidge on back-to-back nights.
