CosbyEagle

Congratulations Coach Shelton. Let's hope there are many more wins to come.

Way to go Eagles...!!! I'm a long-time CoachT member and I don't post or visit the message boards as much as I used to because of all the trash talking (a lot of it was posted by me too in the past) . This thread has "renewed my faith" in the CoachT members. There has been a lot of class shown here by both teams fans. Great win for The Cosby Eagles. Congrats to the players and coaching staff. Good luck to cloudland the rest of the year.

wartburg from the free throw line: 35 of 41. Hard to win when the other team does that. The Lady Eagles were 15-22. Great Season Lady Eagles. We will miss you seniors...!!!

One of the CosbyFaithful checking in. Good Luck tonight Eagles.

Yes that's true....Happens all the time. /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Be aware, if you are ever about to shoot a free throw at The Eagle's Nest be ready to duck because the gun fire might start at any time. /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

Didn't realize that.. Thanks

Don't they still do a draw for the state tournament pairings..?? Maybe we can re-pick for the Boro teams

double post.....weird

Nope, not the 1st time. The clicky, drop-down thing is working now. I'll finish filling it out and try to save & e-mail

I had to use copy/paste. It wouldn't let me type any names in. Man, that took a while to fill out just the A girls

Just had to quote this post from the other thread. Cosby is the big game on everyone's schedule all year long. The Eagles are used to loud, rowdy crowds. (not saying it won't be a factor but not a huge one) Sometimes I think the refs get more intimdated than the players with the home court crowds.

Cosby beat Rockwood in the regular season by 13 and 8. I wasn't at the game so Rockwood might have been the better team last night but I don't think so overall. I'm kinda glad The Eagles don't have to make the trip to Wartburg though.

thanks for all the hard work this year and in years past keeping the brackets up to date... Can't wait to see bracketology also.

You would be looking in the wrong place. The cars go in the bottom of the rock quarry.

Not working for me either. I need to make my picks on the high speed connection here at work

I would rather players be posting on here confident that The Eagles are going back to The Boro than thinking that they don't have a chance. The Cosby Eagles have to be a favorite come tournament time. We've got a top seed for the district tournament. It's going to come down to the opening rounds of the region tournament to get a chance to play sub-state. The East is still going to send a couple of teams this year last time I checked.

Todd should have had 18-20 assists the other night except for a few easy missed shots and fumbled passes. Believe me if the coaching staff thinks he is shooting too much or taking bad shots, he'll get to have a seat and talk about it. He's tough to stop one-on-one when he penetrates and if help comes, he'll find the open man. Coaches who watch the Grace game are going to be scratching their heads trying to figure out how to stop The Eagles. I don't see the reason everybody gives him a hard time about playing tougher defense. He and the coaches know that it's not smart for him to take as many chances and play agressively on defense as some of the other players because obviously he's needed when The Eagles have the ball. You don't want your scorer in foul trouble BTW #15 had a sore ankle against Grace. He's had a few double-double games this year and is playing great.

I just want to echo what these two have said. We are nothing but pleased with the paper's coverage of our Cosby Eagle Teams. (And I'm not just saying that because me and my wife's picture was on the front of the sports page) Keep up the great work at the PT and on the air.

ramtough68, Welcome to CoachT. It seems like a large percentage of posts on here now is "belittling and degrading" each other and other schools. As you said nobody wants to "give credit to the young men and women that are playing in these games, working hard to improve, giving their best efforts for their school and team." I give Grace a lot of credit for the turnaround they have made this season. This program will continue to have success. They're a young team and program. That had to be a tough enviroment and a tough loss Tuesday night. The Ram players handled it with a lot of heart and class. Good luck the rest of the season (Just not against The Eagles) I'm proud of the way the Cosby TEAM is playing of late. The Lowe Brothers and the Three Big Men; David Hall, Cody Brown and Russell Valentine are playing great TEAM ball. Also the guards coming of the bench are a big factor. These players all have a lot of class and give it 100% all the time. We're proud of you The Cosby Eagles still have to prove themselves come tournament time when it counts the most. It should be some great games in a few weeks.

The Cosby Eagles are playing great and will be fired up for this game. It should be a huge & loud crowd and The Eagle's Nest will be rockin' I think this will be a great game. Right now just 11% are picking The Eagles to win on The Big Ones contest. The Eagles will respond to being the underdog at home. Good luck to both teams.

Thanks. They would have to double that before they got close to AA enrollment I meant to ask in my earlier post. I thought somebody posted here that there aren't any seniors at Grace yet. Did I imagine that...??? Does that include the ballplayers and/or transfers..??

It will be interesting to see how well they do in the district and region tournaments with the pressure on and the huge crowds. The Eagles will be ready for the game on 2/2 but they have 3 games between now and then. Coach Flatford won't let them look ahead I hope. Anybody have any idea what the enrollment is at Grace...?? It isn't listed on the TSSAA site. Wonder if they will get enough students that the 1.5 multiplier will affect them anytime in the future. From what I hear, they sure put the $$ in to building 1st class athletic facilities.

Well it looks like grace sure handled rockwood. Was that game closer than the score or was it a 20 point game all night..?? Maybe grace got the tigers good and tired for The Eagles tonight. We were able to rest the starters against Greenback. Was grace able to do the same to get ready for harriman..?? I would kinda like to see them come in to The Eagles Nest undefeated (talk about a great atmosphere) but I want to see the district tighten up too.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. I wasn't at the Unaka game so I can't answer your question. He sure had a great game against Greenback tonight.

Todd always LOOKS good and usually plays pretty well too.
