QUOTE(hoops fan2 @ Mar 1 2007 - 06:20 PM) 826395656[/snapback]la girls are licking some bad wounds
did not play well against anybody in the region
maybe that will motivate them to do well
also they have a lot of seniors, should be another motivation for them
still, i think they will not be able to hold it out for a win ----
LA made it to the District and Regional Championship so I think thats pretty good. Yeah they lost both championships, but they was play the Upperman Bee's on their homecourt. So there was big advantage there for the Bee's. I just pray that these two losses to the Bee's don't make the Lady Wildcats doubt theirselves. LA is a very good ball team full of seniors and I believe if them two tournaments had been played at nuetral courts there would have been different outcomes. Girls you just have to believe in yourselves like your fans do. Play your game Lady Wildcats.
GOOD LUCK LADY WILDCATS GO ALL THE WAY!!!

Five years ago they met at substate and LA came out of top. Four years ago they played each other at the State Championship and LA won their 4th State Championship. Last year they met again at substate and McMinn won by 2. And now they meet again this sat for substate again.
GOOD LUCK LADY WILDCATS GO ALL THE WAY!!!

This should be a great game. I hate that I am going to have to miss it. Play hard so I can watch you play again at the state tournament. Use all the anger you had from last year when MC beat you and use it in this game. Your a great ball team LA and I know you can pull off the win.
GOOD LUCK LADY WILDCATS GO ALL THE WAY!!!

Congrats Bees.
LA keep your heads up you are still a great team so don't doubt yourself. The refs just let Upperman play to phyiscal against. Play hard and win these state tournament games so we can have another chance against the Bees in the Championship. I would like to see these two teams fight it out on a nuetral floor. Hog-eye will be behind you all the way. We have faith in the Lady Wildcats.
GOOD LUCK LADY WILDCATS GO ALL THE WAY!!!

Good luck Lady Wildcats against them tough Lady Bee's of Upperman. Play strong and hard like the Hog-eye fans know you can. Lets pull of the big win and make Hog-eye proud.

QUOTE(hoops fan2 @ Feb 26 2007 - 09:49 PM) 826390971[/snapback]first off - it was not a "whipping" ---- it was really a two point loss - SCHS has several chances to put the game away, but the dice fell the other way ---
in closing seconds, after LA missed free throws, SCHS rebounded --- girl drove length of court for a last ditch effort to tie - the girl was triple teamed and her shot rolled around and missed -
Ferris was there to rebound, but fouled -- then bless her heart, she got aggravated and pushed a girl -- and got T'd up - she wanted to win so badly after coming from a 12 point deficit - that's right, schs was down by a dozen and battled back !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so there were the last four points to make it a six point win
TO ALL THE NAY SAYERS -- IT IS NEVER OVER UNTIL IT IS OVER ---
I''M SURE FOLKS TURNED OFF THE RADIO WHEN THERE WAS A 12 POINT DIFFERENCE -- BUT SCHS BATTLED BACK -- THOSE GIRLS FOUGHT VERY HARD -- THEY SHOULD BE PROUD -- ESPECIALLY AGAINST A TEAM THAT IS SO DEEP FROM THE BENCH --- AND SCHS JUST IS NOT, AT LEAST NOT THIS YEAR
LA has gotten lucky these two region games and i do mean lucky !!! but that's how it goes -- but they are not playing good ball -- don't know what is wrong, but they are not gelling at all
CONGRATS TO KAYCI FERRIS --- FRESHMAN --- WATCH OUT FOR THE LADY OWLS NEXT YEAR !!!!
good luck to 7aa --- represent us well as you go forward !!
Lets not put down the LA girls. They worked hard tonight to get there shot around the 6'8" Kayci Ferris and I am very proud of them. I knew going into the game we wouldn't whip Smith Co. definatly since we was going to be without one of our starters and it would be a hard fought win because Kayci change the game so much. I want to congratulate the Lady Wildcats for sticking with it and pulling out the win with it being so close at the end.
I also would like the congratulate the Owlettes for fighting till the end and never giving up. And congrats to Kayci for the big numbers she put up tonight. I hope you will support us through the rest of the tournament and good luck next.

The Lady Wildcats have to have the toughest schedule in the state playing Upperman the #1 team in the state 4 times in one season but I hope they meet again for the 5th time too at the State Championship in the boro.
GOOD LUCK LADY WILDCATS GO ALL THE WAY!!!

Apparently you do care about my opinion because you keep responding to it and getting more and more upset, enough to call me names.... /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> And as far as I remember, anytime a team scores the most points, they ALWAYS win.... It would have taken 5 more games for LA to score 40 more points only hitting 2 buckets per half...... /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
Do you seriously think we always only hit 2 buckets per half. When we are the #6 team in the state and when we have played the tough schedule that we have. Playing and beating teams like Cleavland and Upperman. Come on seriously!!! Ok so we had an off night, I know it and the LA girls do too. But we won thats all that matters. Lets move on to the next game.

I have heard she wont play. This will make for closer game because I feel Mallie is the best at stealing the ball and the best at the full court press. The other girls for LA will just have to step up. I hope this doesn't hurt the LA girls. It would be ashame to lose becuase one of their players was sick.
GOOD LUCK LADY WILDCATS GO ALL THE WAY!!!

QUOTE(Antwan @ Feb 25 2007 - 06:12 PM) 826388999[/snapback]I guess the truth hurts there too. She will more than likely be the #1 player in the state in a couple of years. She will have a chance
to play for UT. She is a Miss Basketball candidate as a freshman.
Maybe arrogant is not the right word...it's sounds more like jealousy.
Nah...don't hurt me. It just gives SC a little more incentive.
I have no doubt she wont be the best in the state by the time she is a senior and that she will have a chance to play at UT, but she will never be a Candace Parker.

QUOTE(Antwan @ Feb 25 2007 - 05:33 PM) 826388923[/snapback]Ferriss had 23 points on 11 of 12 from the field in that game. If that's awesome defense...we'll take it. She just didn't get the ball enough
because of the turnovers. LA cannot defend her down low.
I did like all of the comments in the Overton County News after that game. I'm sure our girls read that.
Here is what was said in the Overton County News.
"By MAC McLEOD, OCN Sports
At 6' 8", Smith County's Kayci Farris is perhaps the tallest girls high school basketball player in the state. Her height alone makes her a formable obstacle to any opponent, and somewhere along the line she's determined to play her college ball at the University of Tennessee and be a star.
Recently Farris told one of the Nashville television stations she was going to UT and be the next Candace Parker. Parker is one of the best players in the nation.
"She may go to UT, and she may be a good player, but right now she's no Candace Parker," Livingston Academy's Ashley Matthew flatly pointed out Friday night after the Lady Wildcats toppled Farris and her Smith County teammates in commanding fashion, 56-42.
Farris got her normal 20 plus points, but she didn't compare to 5"6" Matthews .
LA head coach Lesley Smith said, "That may have been Ashley's best game ever at Livingston Academy. She did everything from taking a couple rebounds from Farris to nailing more points. She played her heart out tonight, and I was so proud of her."
Farris scored 23 points, grabbed more rebounds than anyone on the floor, and had 4 blocked shots in one period; but it still wasn't enough to topple Livingston. Matthews nailed 25 points and simply controlled the tempo of the entire game.
And she got a lot of help. Inside, Brittany McCoin played perhaps her best game as a Lady Wildcat, going toe to toe with the much taller Farris and coming away with 6 points, but just as important, she never gave an inch inside.
"Well," McCoin started out, "you have to respect her height, but you have to figure a way to hold her out, and tonight we just went at her as hard as we could and it paid off.
"Kendria (Kilgore) faked her one way and scored the other way, and Britany (Smith) just never gave up inside. "
If those arrogant comments don't get our girls fired up...nothing will.
I didn't say she completly shut her down but she played about as good as defense as you can on someone that is 6'8".
I don't find any of that article arrogant. It's just telling the truth. If anything is arrogant it is what Kaci Ferris told Fox 17 News.

QUOTE(Antwan @ Feb 25 2007 - 12:41 PM) 826388462[/snapback]The regular season game at LA was led by SC most of the game. LA made a run late and won by 4. SC led by 7 at the half...and
3 and the end of the 3rd. It was not an easy win. If SC can handle the press...and get the ball to Ferriss...they have a good
chance to win. LA has no answer for her inside. It just depends on how many times they can get her the ball by not turning it over like
they did the last time they played.
I know Brittany McCoin isn't no where near as tall as Kaci Ferris but she played awesome defense on her last time at Smith Co. The LA girls had a little bit of a scare friday night against White House late in the game when they was only 2 ahead. I believe LA didnt play no where near as hard as they had been because I know they are alot better than White House and I think they are going to be fired up monday night.
GO HOG-EYE ALL THE WAY!!!

Good Luck Lady Wildcats!!!

QUOTE(BDP_FAN @ Feb 24 2007 - 02:04 PM) 826387298[/snapback]You have GOT to be kidding???!!!!!! The refs did a good job, maybe LA just isn't as good as you hoped they were..... How do you get to be the number 6 team in the state and only hit 3 buckets from inside the 3-point line? Out of the 44 you scored, 20 of them come from the foul line.... They were/are better than White House but not impressive at all.....
Apparently this was the first time you have seen the Lady Wildcats of LA play this season. They are a whole lot better than White House. The only reason White House stayed in the game was because of the refs. They was a litte off on their shots last night I have to agree but I believe they deserve that number 6. And you would too if you had seen them play more this year. LA and Upperman are the top teams in AA I believe and everyone will find out very soon.

Yes. Livingston Academy, Smith Co., York Institute, and Upperman all advanced to the second round last year at White House. LA and York played for the Championship.

GO LADY WILDCATS!!! Home court advantage, you got this one.

Does any body know how won the Consolation Game in district 8AA tonight at 6:00 between White House and Goodpasture?
AA STATE TOURNAMENT

Livingston Academy has been preparing for these tough teams all season. Playing the toughest schedule in the state in my opinion. Teams like Cleveland, Antioch, Beech, Brentwood, Loudon, David Lipscomb, and Upperman. I see them making some big noise in the tournament.
GOOD LUCK LADY WILDCATS!!!
