UNION CITY VS. HAMPTON: CLASS A STATE QUARTERFINALS

[JDOGG80]

UC is back in the state tournament and 3 wins away fromw Gold Ball number 6. First team we have to get by is Hampton. So the question is what will we be up against.

I haven't seen Hampton play but have heard alot of good things about their program and have great fans..Of course I gotta take UC in this game but it just dedepends on the nerves and getting the jitters out..If UC plays like they should they will win by double digits. .good luck to both tesms.

I have seen Hampton play and I will say this if you think you're going to skate by your going to be taking an early bus ride home every team better come ready to play. Hampton will be in the game till the end that's a fact they don't know the word quit you might beat them but I promise you won't out heart them

Hampton just better be glad it's not at the Thunderdome with that Siren! That Siren is absolutely awesome! What a way to run out to a game! I'm sure the Hampton fans will give the UC fans some good info on their team but I don't think it will matter. The neutral floor will help Hampton but UC has way too many weapons for any 1A team except for Mitchell. Good luck to both teams but I will take UC by 15.

'intense, we dont meet teams like TCA, UC or MM in regular season nor Christmas tournaments around here. We play some high caliber teams in the summer, but we're more in line with the GCA and Meigs teams of the state.

The teams in your neck of the woods could beat some small college teams in this area LOL

 

Hey, we're just glad to get back there for the second time in a row (3rd time including 2011). We'll leave it ALL on the floor and be happy to play one of the best teams in the state.

UC just got a TOUGH draw. We'll be playing on house money,everything to gain and nothing to lose. UC compares to Johnson City with a 1a enrollment,that pretty much sums it up.

As I stated above, we'll come and give it everything we got...It is "David vs Goliath"

Most 1a schools are small rural schools,UC is a big fish in a small pond. Just glad we have the shot.

Going to be an uphill battle but if Hampton shoots the "3" ball like they did last night I think they keep the game very respectable! They are a tough group of kids and heck of a ball team!! I will be pullin for the Bulldogs from Meigs County!!

Pujo, hated you couldn't make it last night...Our crowd was LOW compared to other sub-state games at HHS...We were no where near as loud either! A lot of people had kids playing last night in the boys and girls youth club tournaments...So I'd say that's where probably 200 people were. I didn't see Cloudland people and other locals...But Elizabethton probably drew alot of them to their gym last night.

Yes it will be...Good for this team that they got to play at the boro last year...We missed a lot of 3's and FT's at the glass house last year against Mitchell.

This is usually a very good 3-pt shooting team that can also go to the hole, so we hope to play UC tough.

I want to say it again, Meigs' players were class acts...After a loss, I have never spoken to nicer, more well mannered kids.

And I have read and heard all the "refs helped Hampton win" stuff, but last night was a BALLGAME that either team could have won.

Bad calls? Without doubt! But on both sides...And both teams battled through it.

Thanks for the props TFL
