With the playoff seeding meeting coming up on Sunday, last minute jockeying for playoff positions take place this week. Thursday night's game between New Hartford and VVS has been moved to Friday night and it's the determining factor for both squads in the Class A playoff lineup.
If VVS wins and then can beat Whitesboro, they will like get the two seed over Indian River with the one seed going to Jamesville-DeWitt. If the lose they could drop as low as the five seed. A New Hartford win will get them the four seed and two home games. The "A"'s will not split this season into A-1 and A-2. If the Spartans lose, they could drop to the five seed and receive just one home game.
As for the game itself tonight, I spoke with both John Randal and Al Knapp. Coincidentally, they both told me their top two keys are tempo and rebounding. Spartans love to run, Red Devils will try to slow it down to a half court game. But the coaches differ on their third key. Randal feels his Spartans have to focus on the mental part of the game while coach Knapp feels his boys need to hit some outside shots.
I think this game should be a great one. What do you think? Post your comments and watch for highlights tonight on WKTV at 11 and check back on the web for extended highlights!

Game canceled due to weather....unknown if it will be rescheduled.
It will be...see original post.
NH needs to rebound and run using their top 8 players. That was not done in the ND game and NH got tired. A half court game makes it an advantage for VVS with their size. Al Knapp will have something up his sleave but don't count Randall and his boys out either
