Two really well coached teams battled it out Wednesday morning. Homestead forward Grant Leeper got really physical with Munster’s Brandon Trilli early and took him out of his game. I thought Munster was in trouble, but a trio of juniors carried the Mustangs the rest of the way. Coach Hackett kept switching from man to zone throughout the game and it seemed like it gave Homestead fits. Homesteads Jr guard Will Jamison came alive in the 4th quarter and almost brought the Spartans back by himself but it wasn’t enough.

*Munster’s Junior guard David Cundiff impressed me in this one. Cundiff seemed to get wherever he wanted on the court and showed the ability to knock down threes and get to the rim. High IQ point guard that NAIA’s need to have their eye on. Cundiff ended with 12 points in this one.

* Another pair of juniors impressed for Munster, Jermaine Coney and Nolan Kinsella. Coney finished with 13 points and knocked down some big three’s for Munster and was active defensively. Nolan Kinsella killed Homestead with a couple back door cuts for layups and hit some big 3’s as well. Kinsella also ended with 13 points.

* Homesteads Jr guard Will Jamison came alive in the 4th quarter. He led the Spartans with 13 points. I love Jamison’s ability to get to his pull-up jumper. He is also tough to stop in transition getting to the rim. I want to see more consistency from 3 from Jamison, but one to keep an eye on moving forward.

*Homestead senior forward Grant Leeper was business as usual. Really good physical defender, rebounding machine, and getting buckets at the rim. Every team in the state would take a player like Grant Leeper.
