New Site uses suffocating defense to get win at BIGG Classic

The New Site Royals get a lot of publicity for their offense weapons and ability to shoot the basketball.

On Saturday, it was their defense that stole the show.

The Royals held West Bolivar to just 28 points at the BIGG Classic en route to a 49-28 victory. and everyone in attendance took notice to the defensive gameplan and execution on the floor.

I haven’t been in the area long, but I can’t imagine there have been too many area coaches that teach defense better than Rick Howell.
