Some thoughts so far

Just gonna post some random thoughts on what ive gotten to see so far in camps;

 

DC may give people some fits this year. They're as small as they've ever been but have some good shooters and a few who can get to the basket. Also have a pretty good freshman coming back from Lancaster Christian in the starting lineup this year.

 

Elizabethton and Blackman are almost unfairly talented. Expecting big things out of them this year. Are they shoe ins for gold balls? No, but they have to be considered favorites.

 

What's the deal at Central Magnet? I wasn't expecting to see Claudia Smith playing any summer ball, but where is Obi? I was picking them to win 8-AA before I realized how depleted their lineup is.

 

Cannon is good, but replacing Sissoms scoring is going to be tough. If DC can handle the ball, they can play with them IMO.

 

Smith is probably my pick to win the district unless the situation at Central improves. They're average at best without Hackett, but still have the personnel to make it to the glass house this year.

 

Haven't seen LA but I know that whole second unit is coming back and Winningham. Probably missing someone here but they have the chops to take 8-AA too.

 

Warren County is MUCH IMPROVED. Getting the post player back from Cookeville was a big help. I really think they got a great coach too, in getting this one from the middle school.

 

Clarkrange is great, as expected. Jackson County will have a tough time beating them this year.

 

I would like to see Riverdale, but Oakland looks to have a really tough team as well.

 

So...that's my take on what few camps games I've gotten to see this year. Anyone else's thoughts?

I have watched 8 aa teams play quiet a bit this summer and Livingston is the team to beat . They have a post that does a good job around the rim and very good guards. Coach Riddle does a great job with her bench especially in the summer. 

 

Cannon has   no choice but to be a little down.

 

DeKalb is very quick but very small. They have the shooters to have a few upsets

 

Smith has three seniors and 2 soph and very little, if any bench. They can score in bunches

 

York. I have a great deal of respect for those kids and coaches. They would be the team to beat in the district if they were playing with the kids that went to their jr. high and then left.

 

Macon could be good . They have some good athletes and they get a very good shooter back coming off an injury. Will be very good in 2 years

 

Central?

Saw DeKalb Co. Play at Trenton Peabody's camp last week. Looked pretty good, small but a couple girls can play. They shoot the 3 very well. They will have a good season and surprise some teams. The only loss they had in 2 days was vs. Peabody.

Glad to read DC is making steady progress. Not saying this is the year, because I have no idea, but it's been along time since DC has been a top district team. We aren't that many years removed from being the worst district 8aa team yearly.

They will only have one senior this season. 1000 point scorer Cripps. Otherwise three juniors and a freshman round out the lineup.

Solid player. Can shoot from outside and get to the basket. She's relatively tall but could buff up a little bit. Still makes freshman mistakes but you can definitely tell she's been playing varsity basketball at the high school level since she was in the sixth grade. Also heard she plays on one of the better AAU teams in the Boro.

 

I don't want to talk her up like she's some end all be all D1 talent, because she's not at this point. But I'm really glad to see her on the team and she has a bright future ahead of her. She could shape up into a player unlike any that DC has had in quite a while.

 

Not sure what kind of freshmen the other 8-AA schools have coming in, but she could be in the discussion for freshman of the year.

How or why did she end up at DC this year?

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
