msaisbandkid Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Welcome to MRA bites off more than they can chew Part 2: MRA will be playing in the Junior Orange Bowl tournament on Dec 28-30. It’s first game will be against Gulliver Prep(FL), who is coached by Ray Allen. Fun fact: MRA assistant coach Erick Dampier and Gulliver Prep head coach were teammates on the 2011 Miami Heat. comment below for thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one year, he played against Patrick Ewing Jr., and also they've been consistently competing in these out-of-state tournaments. In a way, it's the ability for kids to play great competition, to prep them for the conference season, and the tournaments. In fact, didn't MRA's football team play Oakland, Pulaski Academy, and Shedeur Sanders high school? It's giving kids an opportunity to compete with other good teams, and get better, win or lose.

Basketball has always done out of state tournaments. They’ve never gone to this tournament or to Florida in general. Typically they’ll go to Louisiana or Tennessee. Also in football having one big non conference game is one thing.(2020 vs Trinity) MRA played the best team from three different states and lost handily to all of them. There is a difference between having good competition and being in way over your head. That being said basketball should be fine this weekend.

s1nglewing Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Miami has very good athletic teams and although Gulliver Prep has lost more then they've won so far they're still a pretty stout team. Should be a good game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point barring a bad game MRA should win out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
