unley and st aloysius in the girls with cabra close behind
Unley, Sacred heart and cabra are the running team for top spot in the boys
Anonymous

Sacred heart dont have anyone anymore, harri held their team up, Cabra have lost ALOT of their good players and dont have much anymore. Unley still has good players like Daly, Bassani, Hayes and Tim Sumemrs. So ild say their in the best position to win it.
St. Micks are defiantly going to be strong this year with the majority of players from last yrs A's still around with some good and big yr 10's coming though..St. Micks, Unley will be the best two teams IMO...i dubt Tom Daly will player school ball surely not due to Australian Camps etc.
Who have cabra lost??????
they still have
Warbout
Turner
Robertson

Isaiah, Nathan... they may not be the best players on the team, but there pretty damn good, and isaiah was getting alot of court time last year in the grand final of KO, the team was playing poorly but he seemed to be the one picking up the pieces.
Immanuel usually have a good crack at it too don't forget and could be surprise packet especially in girls.
Saint Michaels will be awesome if they play as a team.

ok the random name suggested by the site was pulteney 55, so dont bag pulteney yet.
anyways, the organisers again did not do their homework. they have the 2 yr 9/10 finals teams in the same seniors ko pool which is just plain wrong.
Blacks and trinity seem unfair to both schools too, especially if both teams can be considered finals contenders. the boys is not like a stacked NBA western conference. it shouldnt be so hard to work out where teams should be seeded.
comon, does anyone on this site have a clue. I know no one knows who KBGS are but have a look what players they have and where thay finished two years ago.

cabra will be good this year along with unley and sacred heart. probally the 3 most strongest teams. cabra has its main players, turner, warbout, doyle and robertson. sacred hearts main players mainard, oconnor, lustica, and unleys main players daly, hayes, bassani and summers. gonna be tough

Whoever said that Pedare,Blackfriars,Trinity and St. Ignatius will be the frontrunners in Pool B are sadly mistaken. Gleeson have got a star-studded line up for Open KO this year. Although they dont have much depth, except 4 an emerging superstar with initials MM, who has asked me not 2 name him. A new recruits in a state player has made an excellent addition 2 the team and have taken a share of the reigns from the star players who play for North. Paralowie and Maryatville will be easilly carted in the first 2 rounds and the team will probably have enough momentum from then on 2 make it 2 at least the final 4. My tip is for Gleeson

theve got pedare in there pool, A team who two years ago won POOL A and last year came fourth... They have only lost one of there starters. So to say St. Iggies have it easy is a bit rich!

Summers is the perfect complement to Daly coming the bench ... Daly may even play some 2 while summers takes the reigns. Should be a great game vs Cabra next saturday, Unley Gym if u can make it.
first of all KO that draw you put up is missing 2 other fixtures which is Mt Gambier, Grant, Millicent, Tenison Woods and Bordertown and the other is Kings Baptist vs Brighton, Kings baptist will win we were year 10 state champs 2 years ago and we have 2 state players, 2 div 1 players and 2 div 2 players and a couple of social players lol
Cabra are the front runners along with Kings Babtist and Unley. Cabra should knock out unley this week anyway.
Cabra:
Jan W - State Centre div 1 eagles
Chris W - Div 1 under 16 for sturt
Jordan R - Div 1 for eagles
Reece T - Div 1 under 20s first year state player
Adam D - Div one PG for eagles
Alex Prior, Sheldrick, Lindsay and ruben all play district div 1 and 2.
pfft

damn you know your cabra team!
seeing as jan plays for f'ville and chris waye being an under 16...
alrite dude
Year 10 KO two years ago Kings Baptist Vs. Cabra College.
It will probably be the same teams again in the GF.
I dont know why KB havnt got a mension yet.
But i reckon Cabra will be too strong in the long run.
I think teams need to look out for the lil PG for Cabra called Adam Doyle. He will light shit up!!!
Sacret Heart will also be up there with Lusty, maynard, scottie and kareta.
Lustica is the dark horse coz he can fire being in div 1 18s as a first year. (He had a very stong state champs)

Daly going be one of the strongest guards in the open KO
The best 5 players:
PG - Daly (unley)
SG - Jordy (Kings)
SF - Robertson (cabra)
PF - Matt L (Kings)
C - Jan W (cabra)
now you know

100 bucks lustica was the one that posted the comment about sacred heart and himself
also, robertson the best SF in ko? if thats so, its gonna be an incredibly weak competition
1,000 000 bucks saids it wasn't lustica. lustica isn't up himself and wishes he was that good..

Do the top two go through or just the winner of each pool?
Concordia are underated they only went down to cabra 51 - 49 today and they scored a massive dud call with 2 secs left which would have sent hooley to the line for two and probably OT.... i tip them to beat unley
grr!
Years ago
Yeah basically Cabra got handed the game today by the umpires, looked like netball out there, the Concordia team looked liked they had it minus the twat with the whistle. Oh well at least concordia can put it a good decent KO footy team, to recent knowledge Cabra were too soft to field one??

Unfort. it is the same old problem year after year.
Play against Unley @ Unley you get screwed by refs. Play Westminster @ Westminster you get screwed by refs.
It really can come down to where you are playing your knockout games.
Can't we get all Open A games played at Distinctive Homes Dome on a weekend?
Surely knockout games at least!!!!!!!
Simple solution Cat - play well enough and you won't have the excuse of getting "screwed by the refs". And no, when I went to high school and played in Open A basketball a couple of years back, I didn't go to Unley or Westminster, but I enjoyed victories against them. I don't really remember much about Unley refs, but I do remember Westminster having one particularly annoying referee. However, if you play well enough, and score enough points, the refs can't do anything to stop you.

Cabra had the game in the bag against concordie. The refs were really good i thought and concordia were to Sh|t. Concordia were really bad and there footy team is really bad. Who cares if cabra couldnt get one they wuld of beat them anyway.
Cabra Will Win KO easy no one can stop them....
to yeryer12
get a life buddie
there will be a scrath match agaisnt these teams again
then we will see what happens,
oh with good refs btw
Cabra are obviously front runners. St micks have an alright team and put up a fair fight. The fact that unley concordia and cabra were all in the same pool is a joke. these are 3 of the better teams in the competition. And whoever said ruben was gonna make A's is a joke. Ben regester is a superstar and kills ruben in every aspect except height. should be a great competition this year.
Oh yeah and hearts are up there aswell. Isnt kings baptist in a different competition? There arent any good big men that can run with janno. So cabra have a huge advantage in the talls. Other than cabra the only team with a complete lineup that work well together has to be hearts. Unley have the players but they all play fairly small and dont work much as a team. Its pretty much the daly and hayes show
the gf will be hearts vs cabra (if kings baptist is in another pool), only way if cabra will lose if they don't work as a team and have a personal battle with hearts.

Kings will win. The Cabra team is sh*t. There only good player is Jan Warbout and possibly reece turner. There is basically the rest of their starting 5 on here taking themselves up. "Watch out for Doyley he will light shit up". Mate doyley doesnt come close to a top pg. and as for the rest weigh and robertson (no name players) they are dead set joke players.

compare what teams, kings and cabra? ok then lets look at it, we have 2 under 20 div 1 players who played state last year in matt lycett and Jordan Murphy. We also have rhys elliot who is playing state this year and also martin mchugh who plays 18 1s with rhys. then there is me and James Lenigas who play under 20 div 2. I dont kno much of the cabra players just kno em by face but i know that the only thing they have against us is there height as we are a short team, we beat them in year 10 GF by about 30 without Jan, hell make a difference but i dont know how much.
Yeah Jordan Robertson is definately a no name even though he made it to the final cut in u18 state and hits as many points as jan and defs more than reece turner. Mercedes kid, who are you to talk. We killed you missing two starters. You guys had to bring a kid off detention, and bring in two footballers to put up any competition. Hearts, Baptist and Cabra are top three teams to beat.

thats rubbish. When i watched mercedes vs cabra what i saw was jan and reece and the pg run the show and the other 2 starters did diddly squat. Who cares if this guy made the final cut of state, he obviously cant bring it onto the court.

Take it from someone who knows a good team when he see them!
Trinity are white hot, a very well disciplined outfit.
Funny enough, it look like the exact same team that plays for Lions U18's. Looking at the ladder that's probably not a glowing endorsment.
Lookin' forward to knockouts!

Hero 19 mate shut up. This is school basketball. can you bring it on the court? Do you play decent district? do you play state? did your team make the finals? NO? then shut up and stop dishing out shit when you yourself cant hold your dribble on the same courts as these guys. If you are gonna say something atleast make it constructive not just "The Cabra team is sh*t" when they beat you.
