tough to say but your boys should be good

if this is who i think it is you didn't even play basketball. and furthermore do you think coach kidd didn't run those guys enough? they were out of shape? or unprepared? you have got to be kidding me. alot of talk from somebody that didn't even play.

so you think coach kirk is better than coach kidd? Are you serious? here is a guy that took a team that won 3 games before he got there. they won 6 his first year, which i know is not saying a whole lot but comparing it to hat had been going on there before. Then he wins 11 or 12 games the next year? you guys should have been trying to keep him instead of trying to get "yes" men in there for the ol' doc. I'm not going to even mention what he did for baseball over there. So he was fiery and got some technicals every now and then, he was the ony one with emotion on the team and that is why DB will never get out of the bottom of that district. I wish them all the best because they have some good kids but if it comes down to coaching in a DB vs. CB game coach kidd would would make kirk look silly. No, disrespect to Mike cause he was at hixson for a while but being an assistant and being a head coach are 2 different things. Also, no way DB beats Silverdale. SBA has too much size and talent for DB to stay with them.

Tay, I think CSAS might be the only D6 team to make past the first round of the region tourney. Everybody else so weak in that district its almost unfair.

No Doubt it comes down to Temple and Grace in the end. I see Silverdale puttin a scare into one of those two at least once this year. I think Copper Basin will be the suprise team of the bottom three.

what do you think about district 5? I think it goes something like this. 1. Temple: everybody back and the Andrews kid is healthy. Depth could be a problem. 2. Grace: I think probably better w/o Carter, but dont beat Temple. 3. Silverdale: Got good size and good rotation of players 4. Copper Basin: This is my surprise team this year. While they won't be close to the top three they have enough athletes and good coaching with David Brainerd coach moving over to beat the bottom two. 5. David Brainerd: Max Archey is the most consistant player they have. Couple that they have a new coach, their 3rd in 4 years, and they lost alot of talent when some players transferd. I think all that spells trouble. 6. 21st Century: one word, graduation. they literally have one player coming back, Jordan Stafford. While he is good he has no help.

South Pitt too undisciplined to beat CSAS. I do agree that Signal Mtn will be third. Sale Creek has a new coach that knows only that a basketball is round so I think if Whitwell hired a decent coach hey could sneak up a spot. I don't know what RH has coming back but if they lost the Zinna kid and that Big Kid in the middle they will be bad. Ivan will need the paramedics there every night. Lookout Valley has got to be better than they were last year so I would move them ahead of RH

temple returns everybody. including a kid named brandon andrews who sat out all but like 3 games last year after injurying his shoulder. they will be the team to beat in region 3a. csas lost their whole team, they might have two guys coming back. grace will be the other team to watch out of region 3a they still have the shaughnessy kid as well as a kid named fuquan harper who became eligible at the end of the year. those two along with brandon herman will be very tough in single a.

so is donald taking the job or not i have heard he is which doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me an i have heard he isn't. who do hey have in mind if he doesn't take job

Well the same coach that coaches basketball also coaches baseball. I didnt say DB doesn't want to be succesful what I was trying to say is that if the head guy at DB would have stood behind his coach instead in front of him that coach would still be there. I mean why would that guy leave with all that he has coming back in basketball and in baseball

Boys coach at David Brainerd takes job at Copper Basin. Most people might look at this as a step backwards but it really is more of a lateral move Because CB administration committed to trying to make their athletic program better which is not the case at DB

They only lose three players

Heard CSAS was going back to AA and Bledsoe County dropping down to A. Anyone know anything about that

What about Temple and SDwhat was score and who did what

Well I think it would be a safe bet to say that David Brainerd will be one of the better teams in the region next year and for years to come. While they have taken their lumps from Grace, Temple, and your Seahawks they have steadily become more and more competitive. David Brainerd is a team that you cannot take lightly because if you do they can sneak up on you. Last year they won 6 games, this year they went 15-12. Don't be surprised if David Brainerd is in the region tourney next year. So before you get on here and bad mouth DB you need to know where they are coming from.

True about the missed FT and layups. As far as the jamboree goes, we were not even supposed to play that night, CSAS was supposed to play Silverdale. So as far as that goes I think we did OK for 30 minutes notice.

I hope that you are not implying that David Brainerd is a weak team. Granted we took some lumps from the big dogs in our district but we played your crusaders tough at your place and anyone that watched that game and knows anything about basketball knows that that game was alot closer than 60-44. DB missed 10 free throws and 3 or 4 layups. Not saying we should have won but I believe we are a better team than most people give us credit for. Also, We beat everybody in District 6 except for CSAS and Sale Creek because we did not play them. Not saying we would beat CSAS at all. Sale Creek beat our JV's by like 10 in our X-mas Tourney

They run a flex man to man offense. If you play zone they like to try work the ball to the elbow then to short corner. They also will try to move the ball on perimeter until low post gets a good seal on the block. Defensively, they half court trap the first half then full court press in the second. They have 3 main players #23 their PG very quick and handles the ball well, #12 plays PF very disciplined and very fundamental, he is a lefty. Then #24 is probably their best player, good shooter and very active on both ends of the floor. Hope this finds you in time to help

If I were picking All-District team right now here is what it would be... Grace: Carter McMasters Brandon Herman Patrick Shaughnessy Temple: Jeremy Sexton James Kemp 21st Century: Dominique Harris Landon Atkins David Brainerd: Max Archey Silverdale: Chris Marbury

DB Doesn't lose but 3 players and returns most of their scoring. We ave some work to do to get where Temple and Grace are but we will be more in the mix next year.

You got the uncoachable part right. They have alot of talent but alot more attitude. After the game tonight at David Bainerd one of their kids threw a punch at one of the DB kids. Don't know what happened to the kid after the police put him in handcuffs

Well we appreciate the kind words. Richard Hardy lost everybody they had. The two 19 year olds, one of which I think was in jail the first time we played them last year. and the rest of their team was seniors too. They had nobody after that. I saw alittle of their scrimmage at DB against 21st Century and it was ugly. But you never know.... we thought we would beat St Andrews -Sewanee Friday but got absolutely hometowned to death. I guess its agood thing we play this one at home and not over there cause thats what happened to us over there last year.

Grace boys all over Sale Creek I think the score was like 49-17. David Brainerd looked sharp against South Pitt. and beat them 41-11. Didn't see LV and CB

You have to remember Temple had two players transfer to Silverdale, although they are not eligible they are not playing at Temple. I don't see Temple doing that much this year. I think they will make the region tournament but their season ends there. I watched them play over the summer, maybe they had some players missing but they didn not look anywhere close to last year's team. Sexton and Andrews are good players no doubt about that, but They will need several unproven players to step up and I just don't see it this year.

I wasnt talking about money. you say how easy this region is you make it sound like you could get five players and run right thru it undefeated.
