rdjc, thanks for the update. Below is the Poughkeepsie Journal write-up. I noticed that Red Hook lost last week to Rondout. I have no stats and don't know how nuch or if Nero played. rdjc, do you know id Rondout is any good????
There might have been some Stag Fans at the Red Hook game last night, so looking forward to any report.
KINGSTON — Greg Nero scored 35 points as Red Hook defeated previously unbeaten St. Mary's of Long Island, 74-69, in the opening round of the Ron Scheffel Memorial Tournament at Kingston High School.
Jamal Coston added 16 points for Red Hook, which improved to 4-1 overall and will play Kingston at 7:30 tonight for the tourney title.
Kingston advanced to the final with a 66-54 win over Berkshire (Mass.).

Link below to a more detail story. And I just realized that Red Hook beat an undefeated St Mary's of Long Island team, who is usually very good and has one of the top players in NY in Rashad Green (6-3). Nice win.

Went to the game last night. This game vs St Mary's was entirely different then the first game( vs FDR- presidents).This game was wide open,with both teams racing up and down the court. Lots of action and plenty of turnovers on both teams part.
Nero played entirely differnt in this game then the previous game. Previously vs FDR he played on the perimeter. In this game he played underneath against a 6'6" center. His scoring, 35 pts game from 13 FG's ( including one 3 pointer) and 8-13 from the FT line. All of his field goals (except the 3 pointer) were down low and inside (below the foul line). He played with his back to the basket most of the game and had several offensive rebounds in which he finished with "put backs".
The thoughts i wrote down on paper as i watched the game were:
Not a banger, not necessarily an agressive rebounder.
Good passer, on the outlet to start a fast break and during the fast break.
Can handle the ball well for a big man both one the open court and down low. He took the inbound pass several times from his teammates and dribbled down court like a guard. One time he took a defensive rebound down and dribbled the entire lenght of the court and finished with a lay-up. He can put the ball on the floor in traffic and score.

Re: red hook -- Nashville Stag Fan, 11:24:36am 12/28/05 Wed, [1]
Tony, great report! You have really peaked my interest, as well I'm sure of other Stag fans. One thing you didn't mention however is defense. Did he play the 6'6" center straight up in man to man (did the other guy score much, were there any blocks or intimadations, etc.). Did they play some zone, or was there any pressing, and how active was he?

I was also at the Red Hook game last night. Surprised I didn't see you Tony. I agree with most of your analysis of Nero. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the opposition. St.Mary's was a quality team. They had size and speed. Nero was the best player on the floor by far. He was doubled and triple teamed all night. Despite this, he was still able to score inside. He also hit turn around jumpers and a couple of half hooks. The thing that impressed me the most was his first step on offense. He is extremely quick. He blocks shots and is very athletic. He also can dribble very well for someone 6'7". I can see him being a very capable small forward with the stags. However, he has the size and athletic ability to play power forward if need be. I must also comment on the team he is playing on. With the exception of one other player besides Nero, this Red Hook team, to put it politely, is not very good. If Nero were playing in the city, while his stats. would obviously not be as gaudy, we would be very hard pressed to recruit this kid.

Oh by the way, Red Hook played mostly zone, wouldn't you against St Mary's, so it was difficult to see his foot speed on defense. His foot speed on offense and jumping is quite impressive, as I previously stated.
