I found it shocking that the Buffs pulled this one out. Granted is off to a bad start, but I just figured with the talent of the Devils and the unconsistent play of the Buffs that the Devils would pull one out. Good job Buffaloes. It was a great win to jump start the conference play.

UNICOI stinks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE GAME AGAINST WG WAS AN HONEST FLUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jordan Davis would probably have to be considered as one of the top players in the state this year. As a senior this year for the West Greene Buffaloes (2-24,1-13) he was a leader on and off the court averaging 12.3 points per game with 3.5 assists per game. I doubt the Buffaloes would have made it as far as they did this year without Jordan Davis.

First off the Ward kid isn't that great of a bat. Campbell and Sauceman were huge losses, but what about the other 4-5 starters that were freshmen and sophomores last year. They have a highly capable CF in Jordan Davis with some returning IF help in the Lamb kid at SS who also pitches some and is decent. The first baseman isn't a guy for average, but is a huge power threat. WG will be fine. This was a scrimmage. Just hold on 6-4-3 double play before you start doubting!

If you read my comment .I said I believe in a good butt chewing. But I don't believe in all the profanity. I had the privilege of being the head coach of the Tennessee State Champs 15 and 16 year olds this year. Went to Flordia finished third in the Southeast Regional. Every man on the team at one time or another got their butt chewed out more than once. I didn't have to use the F word not one time.You can chew a kid out without profanity. Ask any Kid that has ever played for me or any parent that has let their kid play for me they do what I say when I say it because I respect them and they respect me because I earn their respect . I use what I was taught as a player by my coaches and it wasn't how to curse it was how to play. And as you say coddling my kids ask my two sons if they we ever coddled they will laugh at you . And I will not hide behind a computer nick name my name is Gene Lamb. And I will say this Two of your coaches did say something too a couple of the coaches when they we cursing but it didn't do any good.

I was at the game last night, had the best seat in the house. I am a member of the West Greene chain gang. And I am also a parent of one of the players a senior who has suffered through 3 years of losing . I dont know who is the better team I believe that heart and will power goes a long way on a football field. Last night my beloved BUFFALOES were the better team score board said so. Now to what I can't believe is how Hampton's coaches degraded their players . A sailors mouth was cleaner than some of the coaches Hampton had last night .Nothing wrong with a good butt chewing . But using the F word so many times I could'nt count is uncalled for and unprofessional. One coach told one kid to grow some F'N balls. Do not deny it because I was standing right there. If a coach would tell my kid in those words he had better grow him some when I got in reach of him. I've coached young men in baseball most of my adult life and have never used that kind of language toward any of them. I do chew them out but I try to do it with respect. And to my beloved BUFFALOES enjoy your success YOU HAVE EARNED IT. Great job Coach Case and staff, keep up the good work. West Greene Chain Gang Member!

What was the final score of the Happy Valley and Sullivan North game?

wghs also has a kicker that can kick about the same distance

In defense of Coach Bowles, he's not the one in the infield that misses grounballs, or dropping the fly balls in the outfields, or watching strike three right down the pipe, and he's also not the one that gives up the big errors late in the game in general that always blow our lead.

How good are those teams, do we have a shot?

I agree 100%. West Greene tried to take away the inside game and Unicoi showed us they could shoot the ball. I never said they didn't deserve any credit, they are clearly the best team in the Watauga Conference. That is obvious, but it was also obvious that West Greene played their worst three quarters last night.

Well.........Unicoi County beat us guys. I can't remember an exact score I just know it was bad. I thought after the first quarter we had a shot, but I have never seen the team this year play that bad in three quarters.

All of this arguing is pointless. The bottom line is West Greene had a good season. Compared to recent years it was a great season. Did they live up to all the expectations....probably not, but I think the only reason that is is because the expectations were to high. Twenty games was not likely, but it was a good season and I will look forward to seeing the program continuing to improve over the next few years. Its great to see all of the fans back inside the gym because the atmosphere is so intense. Congratulations to the boys on a great season, and I will look forward to watching them tonight when we take on Erwin. GO BUFFS!

Jordan Ward of West Greene is only a softmore. Give him some time to develop and he will be great. His arm strength and speed is unbelievable.

The winners turned out to be : Unicoi, Johnson County, Elizabethton, and West Greene
