Congratulations Southwind. You have a great team and played like the state champs.

 

 

Then what happened? I'm not trying be defensive, I'm just curious. They've told one side, so you tell us the other. I had no idea why LC had to forfeit games and never thought to ask...

I have no reason not to believe what Coach B told the papers. Kid said he moved to Trenton played a couple of games then moved back to Lake County. If true, he was eligible. When Lake County found wasn't true, they reported it. Never heard her blame DC to the press though

Yes, blame DC. Brilliant play. Run with that.

Actually you said the team had to forfeit for cheating. I think Big Purple thought you meant the players as the team. You know, kids. But now you're saying when you said team, you meant the athletic staff/ school administration was the cheaters . I can understand his confusion.

Well. It's a win. Survive and advance.

Strong statement...never say never....

You know they got an automatic berth due to Ridgeway forfeit. It would be hard to be upset on a substate game you don't play.

 

 

any chance those of us not in Dyer County could hear this game on the web?

DC 65

ECS 42

Thanks for the schedule. We'll bring a carload down.

Can you post a schedule?

This game will be very bad for Gleason. I coached there as an assistant and have coached all the kids on that team as freshman or in Junior High. I loved the town, the school and the kids. But they have no one even close to match up with anyone on DC.

I read the schedule wrong. DC will play the winner of the Gleason vs Fulton City, KY game.

Out of the five area Christmas Tournaments (Westview, Gibson Co., McNairy, Huntingdon and Dyersburg) this one looks to be the most competitive top to bottom. Of course I'll be at Martin cheering on my beloved Choctaws. Congratulations to Dyersburg for putting together such a talented field.

Choctaws Win!

Dyer County defeated McCreary Central in the Arbys/KFC Tournament Championship 63-55. The Raiders game plan was to use a deliberate style of offense combined with a stingy zone defense. The result was a slow very physical aggressive game whete the Raiders outrebounded the Choctaws 35-21 but the Choctaws forced a string of 4th quarter turnovers to seal the Choctaws second Arbys/KFC Championship.

Robert Hubbs led the DC scoring with 20 points, John Hudson added 16, and Cedarius Taylor had 14. Cranston Fisk drew 2 big charges as he continued to provide solid post defense off the bench. The Choctaws move to 14-0 on the year and have won an incredible 42 out of their last 46 games dating back to last season. Congratulations to Fred Yarbrough, John Hudson, Robert Hubbs, and Koty Gross on being selected to the All-Tournament Team!!!!

Choctaws will be back in action Tuesday December 28th, facing Gleason in the opening round of the Martin's Lions Club tournament at Westview. Tipoff at 2:30.

From the teams FB page:

Opened in Stearns KY today with a 111-59 win over St. Georges of the Bahamas. After a 6 hour trip the Choctaws went 17 for 28 from 3. John Hudson made 5 first-quarter 3's and ended up with a (7-11) 3 point night to lead all scorers with 27 pts. Tay Kennedy came off the bench on fire, as he drilled 6 3 pointers for 18 pts. Robert Hubbs had 15 pts with Justin Williamson and Koty Gross adding 14 and 10 pts each.

DEC 20

The Choctaws will face a contrasting style of play tomorrow as they take on Wayne County (Kentucky) who will play a very slow and deliberate style of basketball. Tipoff is set for 5:30 p.m. eastern time.

DEC 21

Dyer County holds off Wayne County 83-64. The Cardinals, started hot, but DC out scored the Cardinals 20-6 in the 2nd to head to half up 31-24. Robert Hubbs had 17 points in the 3rd as the lead increased 62-46. DC out scored the Cardinals 21-18 in the 4th to seal the 83-64 win. Hubbs led all scorers with 29 pts followed by Cedariu...s Taylor 12 and Fred Yarbrough 10. The Choctaws move to 12-0 on the season and will face the winner between Henry County, Kentucky and Miami Senior High out of Florida.

DEC 22

We are about to face one of the toughest opponents in Dyer County history. At 8:45 pm Eastern time the Choctaws will take on the undefeated tournament favorite Miami Senior in the semi finals of the Arbys/ KFC Classic in Stearns Kentucky. Miami Senior features tremendous size and quickness and the school has produced the likes of current NBA stars Steve Blake and Udonis Haslam.

DC advanced to the finals by upsetting Miami Senior 86-78 to move to 13-0. Choctaws will face host McCreary Central in the championship. Justin Williamson came out of the gate hitting Back-to-back 3's and never trailed leading 23-18 after the first and 46-39 at half. Choctaws were led by Robert Hubbs 22 pts (10-12 free throws) and John Hudson 20 pts (9-11 free throws). Willie Walker led Miami with 27 points.

Is the bracket or schedule posted anywhere? One of our SE Missouri teams (Caruthersville) is competing.

 

C-ville is having a good year so far and should be one of the teams to watch.

Can't post the link from my phone. The Jackson Sun has all the West TN Christmas schedules posted on their website.

Good Luck to your team.

Dyer County 94

Soldan Int'l 80

Soldan went up quickly to lead 12-0. Then it was all DC. DC trailed by one at the end of the first 24-25. DC hit 5 3's in the first half. Everyone played and 5 players were in double figures. Soldan was acessed 6 technical fouls.(I think, I might have missed one) 2 for slam dunks during warmups at halftime. 2 on bench. 1 for an elbow, and another for a player talking impolitely to the ref.

Lists at Henry County High School and Gamlin Gymnasium. Is the gym located on campus? If not, where? Thanks
