I say the Falcons didn??™t disappoint. They still have that physical play approach, but they got back just as much as they gave in this game and they should probably expect the same from any of the top teams in our conference. We know that in order to win a game at Volunteer you have to keep the score to the point that the officials cant be a factor. We ended the first half leading in fouls (against the Bruisers of Volunteer) 10 to 3 and at least one of the calls against Volunteer was an obvious makeup call at the end of the half (but that is just my opinion). The Facts are that Cradic scored 30 on us because our mulish coach has insisted on using the same feebleminded approach that has now lost us two games and allowed South to make a game out of what started out (and should have ended up as) a rout. And its not just the zone??¦its his choices on who takes the assignment that is costing us. He??™s starting to remind me of the infamous Captain Ahab (in the story of Moby Dick for those who dont know)??¦and we all know how his ???season??? ended. /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> In all fairness though, now is the time to pull out the patented Viking Zone. We cant run with DB or SHHS so its time to slow the pace. Uh oh??¦maybe I shouldnt have said that. /huh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh:" border="0" alt="huh.gif" /> I guess we will try to man up now. /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />
Volunteers point guard Bennett also had a great game. One of the best we have faced this year.
Bennett and Cradic are both very talented but I'm pretty sure that Volunteer's player of the game had to be Roby Witcher! I say this because he literally held Corey Young to 14 points. I don't know if he was just having a really good night or what, beacause he appeared to be extremely talented. Witcher continually told him to slow it down and run his offenses when Young appeared to be able to score almost at will. I feel for Young, he definitely appears to be underutilized. Poor kid...

Im saying Volunteer plays "Smashmouth" basketball. The Fal-Con faithful keep coming on here and telling us thats untrue, but we keep going to games and seeing it is true. Seeing is believing! I believe their coach teaches it, I believe they try to use it to intimadate, and at times I think it gets out of hand and they use it to try and injure the other player. In the first half of the Volunteer -DB game two Volunteer players were going after Sylvester. It looked to me like they were trying to start a fight or something. In the second half they were so tired from the full court game they couldn't cause much trouble.
Smashmouth basketball??? That is about the silliest thing i've ever heard. I'm pretty sure that all coach Whittemore asks of his players is that they play as hard as physically possible, they play smart basketball, and they don't allow other teams to push them around. Maybe if Charlie Morgan got Bronson Flack on that plan he wouldn't be the most embarrassing player in the big nine for a third consecutive year. All i've heard for the last three years is how "this" year is gonna be his year. DB would be in serious trouble if they didn't have those other three very talented post players to rotate and leave Flack on the bench. Jordan Edwards is biggest and strongest kid in the conference AGAIN this year. But anyway I would love to hear a case made for a coach who consistently gets the most out of the players he has year in and year out more than Coach Whitt. He is an excellent coach and anyone who calls him dirty is making a fool of themselves.

I think that is EXACTLY how its going to be. THS lost some people but had loads of talent on the bench from last year. What people dont understand about SH is that Omar was the whole team. I would not be surprised if they lost some shocking games this year. I might put Volunteer above Central though just because of that bully type of ball they play. Its the roughest and dirtiest play in the Big 9 and people cant stand playing them. Plus they have Craddick back. Everything else looks to be in check
Its actually spelled Cradic, and i hear everyone loves to play Volunteer because they are all really nice guys...

QUOTE(Floor_General22 @ Feb 27 2007 - 02:50 AM) 826391266[/snapback]Funny that you of all people would call someone out. You couldn't guard a snail without holding. I guess you have to do what you can to make up for the lack of skill. Holding and and cheap shots help you even the playing field. But one thing I will agree with. You probably are man enough to stick up for yourself. Just not man enough to play a clean game. You guys had a great season, congrats on that. But its hard to respect a team and a coach that does not respect its opponents enough to play them clean. I love to see the smaller schools and the county schools have success. However there is a right way to play the game and cheap shots, dirty play and intentionally trying to take players out is not the right way.
I am glad you think so highly of me. lol. I will tell you that i have never intentionally tried to "take" another player out any game. I have no problem with you not respecting the way we play, i personally could care less, but i understand everyone is entitled to an opinion.

Snow, you can't be serious! How many games did your team win in the IMAC this year? The only team in the IMAC is Greenville,everyone else is a joke. On a personal note you are the softest guy i have ever played against and I am suprised you have time to practice and play with all the crying and complaining you do here. Get a life bro, and we are plenty man enough to stick up for ourselves, you can find us in church hill anytime you want mama's boy.

QUOTE(TNtnns_07 @ Feb 26 2007 - 09:16 AM) 826389707[/snapback]I know. Tennessee has been playin some good ball lately. They have a real shot at making it to state. They can Win Region 1, they have already proved that. They will probably be playing bearden or Maryville in sectionals. I can see THS making it to state or sectionals at least. THS defeats SHHS again tomorrow night by 7. 55-48
Science Hill definitely has more talent and will blow out Tennesse High if they are allowed to run and gun, however Tennessee High plays a very, very slow methodical style of basketball and won with it in the district. Whichever team can impose their will and control the tempo of the game will win. Tennessee High is heavy on heart and Science Hill is pretty loaded, should be a good game. ...Science Hill by6 or more.

Flack played very well last night, as did DB. When he plays that well they probably aren't gonna lose many if any. I'm not trying to run the kid in the ground, I just don't believe he plays up to "the hype" or his own potential very often. The nonsecure comment mostly just confuses me because it makes no sense. And as far as pointing out individual players goes, I haven't glanced at this message board lately and seen anything but Keith Cradic is dirty posts.
BTW, where is Bronson considering playing next year?
