If this was any other player in the district besides the Dunn kid would this even be talked about. I doubt it!

It almost seemed like we were in Livingston playing.

Jackson County

That is all true. But think about it when they went to finals in State "A" against Gleason. (She did not adjust) I am sorry you have to put your Best defensive player against the best player in the state whom went to Vanderbilt or you have to change to a better defense set. And last year against Austin East she did not pull out of the press until the fourth quarter. Everyone in the stands saw that you could not press them in the First quarter of play. Maybe it will be better this time. Adjusting is not easy for her it seems. I wish all the girls the best of luck this week. Play hard the rest will follow. Go Lady Bees!

Congratulations Girls! Does anyone know what all the commotion was about last night at Upperman? Someone said they heard over the scanner for all Putnam Co cops to respond to Upperman? I hope that everything is ok and no one was hurt.

To single out LaShay is wrong. You cannot point fingers at these kids and say oh that is the problem. Maybe people should look at the real issues with the program and not point fingers at the girls. The girls are only going to do what they are told to do by their Coach. Davis is not the only player at Upperman, she is surrounded with support. She just tends to step up to the challenge more so than others do. Every team has to have a leader. There are others who contribute each and every night. Maybe they do not shine like LaShay does, but they are just as important. I have seen Maynard play extremely well. Maybe they are in a slump or maybe the FUN has been taken out of the game. Who knows? Everyone wants to single Laken out in J. Co. Why? She is good, one of the best I have seen in a long time. She moved to a program that is extremely strong year after year. She did what was best for her. And everyone talks about her. That is wrong. If she was your daughter would you not want her somewhere to better herself and maybe even her future. I would! J. Co can but 5 players on the floor and everyone of them can score. I have watched them play several times and they are just good. The bench is strong and they beat you down. Yes they lost to Livingston (but they are strong also to be young), but J. Co did not play their best. Laken and Courtney and Misti all stand out but they each contribute in different ways. Laken won Mid-South MVP and then Misti won MVP in the Florida tourney. So they stood out at different times. I watched J. Co beat Upperman twice. And both games Jim put 5 players on the floor on every play that could play and play well. The adults need to be adults and stop picking on the kids. It all boils down to which teams are prepared the best and what players decide to show up at Game Time!!!!!!

Congratulations Lady Bees. One down and two to go! /rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

I agree that LaShay and Jennifer are a Dynamic Duo for Upperman

Granted the Ferris girl did have two good games. She is the dominate player for her team scoring more than half the points and she deserves all of the wonderful comments that she receives. But the MVP should come from the winning team of the tournament. And if Upperman wins tonight then I believe that Jennifer Maynard deserves the MVP. She has had two solid games as she did in the district. She sparked the team Monday night in the win over DCA. It takes more to be an MVP than just the most points. The MVP should be all around the best player on the floor. They should be a leader, a scorer, a rebounder, and play defense and Maynard has shown all of this qualities in the Region and all year long. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
