Continue ReadingBishop Kelley is an old school type of team.They like to slow things down and do not like to run the ball. They want to take their time in possession and run their offense. When Bishop Kelley can slow down the game and play at their pace they are hard to beat. When they get into their offense they almost always get the shot that they want. Their lineup is not build to run and gun. They play better on both sides of the ball when they are able to get their bearings. When they set their feet that are a lot better on defense. They are hard to get past when they are able to set their feet and get in front of their opponents. Bishop Kelley is well disciplined as well. They get the fundamentals right which makes them hard to beat. They will be a dangerous team in 5A this season if they can control the tempo and limit their turnovers.
Player to Watch
Jake Gendron
Jake Gendron is the best player for this Bishop Kelley team. The offense seems to run through him. He does not have to be the scorer necessarily but Gendron almost always get a touch on the ball per possession. He is the playmaker on the team and if Bishop Kelley need something to happen then they go through him. He can take it down the lane and finish through contact or he can pull up from midrange and hit a contested shot. His athleticism allows him to get away with things and make plays that others can’t make. Gendron will be the catalyst to this team. If he can play well the team has a shot to do something along the lines as the 2017 Comet’s team did led by Gendron’s brother Ryan. That team almost pulled off the biggest upset of that year with a narrow lost to Tulsa Memorial in the quarterfinals of state.
