With this season being so short, there are so many teams, games and players to see but so little time. So not only will CPH be live streaming games, we will also be doing the Game of the Day (GOTD) series! On the GOTD series, CPH will watch a high school game from the previous week on-demand and then give Tweet length opinions on players, prospects, score updates, etc., just as if we were watching a live game. Players mentioned in GOTD may be written about in the Weekly Rewind article series as well! We start GOTD with GOTD: Metamora-IVC.
GOTD: Metamora-IVC
First Half
End Q1. Illinois Valley Central 13 Metamora 13. Holt Geltmaker 4 Mac Parmelee 4. Ethan Kizer 3 Drew Tucker 3.
Metamora 2023 G Tyler Swanson heating up! 6-1 soph drills triple. Also had some nice takes and finishes around the rim. Just another talented young player in the Redbirds program.
Illinois Valley Central 2021 G Mac Parmelee taking over game with scoring. Scoring combo is getting clean looks at rim and connecting from deep. Very talented scorer with the ball in his hands.
Metamora 2023 G Drew Tucker helping carry Redbirds offensive load. Drilled trio of three pointers. Great spot up shooter. Also added a put back for good measure. 2023 class looking very nice at Metamora.
Illinois Valley Central 2021 PG Holt Geltmaker is so strong. Broad shouldered guard is doing work in post on offense. Really efficient area rebounder. He is an #Illini baseball commit.
Half. Metamora 34 Illinois Valley Central 25. Drew Tucker 11 Tyler Swanson 10. Mac Parmelee 13 Holt Geltmaker 7.
Second Half
Metamora 2023 F Ethan Kizer off to a hot start! Gets steal and turns it into big one hand slam on break. Follows it up with nice rebound and putback. High ceiling sophomore,
ETHAN KIZER! The athletic soph skies for a lob on the baseline out of bounds play and slams it down with authority!! That might be the dunk of the year, for the entire state!
End Q3. Metamora 52 Illinois Valley Central 41. Tyler Swanson 12 Ethan Kizer 11 Drew Tucker 11. Mac Parmelee 18 Holt Geltmaker 11.
The passing from this Metamora squad is really impressive. So much patience. They really move the ball. Disciplined.
Apparently Metamora 2022 Zack Schroeder is Mr. Second Half! Both this game and last, the scoring guard has been tremendous scoring the ball in the second half. Mr. Consistent at the FT line.
Mac Parmelee doing everything he can to keep IVC in the game. The scoring combo has been launching deep 3s, getting to the free throw line, disrupting on defense. He is an undervalued unsigned senior!
Illinois Valley Central 2021 SF Kamden Wollard is a jack of all trades type who is key for his team. Big body scores, rebounds, defends, and passes. Also a very good football player, going to UW-Whitewater for that sport.
Final. Metamora 73 Illinois Valley Central 66. Zack Schroeder 20 Ethan Kizer 15p 10r Tyler Swanson 14 Drew Tucker 13 Luke Defrance 11. Mac Parmelee 32 Holt Geltmaker 13.
