Very good post. In total agreement.

Ouch /ohmy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":o" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" /> Never thought I'd see the day as long as Dickson was at Greeneville. I know they have injuries but in my opinion, I don't think it would have mattered. WEST IS JUST THAT GOOD. Gaylon showed how good a coach he was last year when they made their run without Goins. Then he gets Hall and Goins is as good or better than ever and all I can say is WOW!!!!!

Here are the stats from last nights game from the Greeneville newspaper. I assume the ballhogs you're referring to are Hall and Goins. Hall Takes 8 shots and Goins 6. Granted both took more shots but Goins only shoots 2 free throws so only one more shoot. Hall takes 17 free throws so you had to take several more shoots but she hits 15 out of 17 free throws also. She is their go to player so naturally she'll get more shots than anyone else most nights. Granted he has several options (what a great problem) but as the season rolls along I'm sure you'll see all the girls contribute more than just great defense, setting picks, ball handling, and all the other things that don't show up on the stat sheet. Nicole usually eats most peoples lunch but in this case with a 28 to 23 margin. I think it was more of a Happy Meal instead of a full meal. BTW I have no affiliation(spell?) with either team just a IMAC girls fan in general. Will they go undefeated? Highly unlikely. Lady Devils and a few others will have a lot to say about that. How many teams will? NOT MANY!!!! Morristown West (58): Taylor Hall 4-8 15-17 23, Goins 3-6 0-2 6, May 0-2 0-0 0, Watson 1-4 0-0 3, Smith 3-7 0-2 9, L.Hall 0-1 0-0 0, Jones 2-2 1-1 5, Megan Fanney 3-4 4-5 12. Totals 16-34 20-27 58. Greeneville (55): Nicole Dickson 11-14 5-10 28, Ramsey 0-0 0-0 0, Christopher 1-1 0-1 2, Kelley 3-8 0-2 6, Morgan Shipley 3-4 3-4 11, Hall 0-2 0-0 0, Medlin 0-0 2-2 2, Story 3-3 0-0 6. Totals 21-32 10-19 55. 3-Point Goals: MWHS (6) Smith 3, Fanney 2, Watson. GHS (3) Shipley 2, Dickson. Score by Quarter: Morristown West 13 11 19 15 -- 58 Greeneville 22 4 18 11 -- 55

I didn't go but got to listen. I was worn out just listening. Barn Burner for sure. The next 3 meetings will be something else I'm sure. I'm sure there will also be 3 more meetings.

It's final Morristown West 58 Greeneville 55.

Anyone know what the record was and what she has now? Thanks in advance.

In my opinion West didn't really seem to be giving it their all last night. Many missed layups and free throws. If I remember correctly Hall didn't hit a shoot outside of a layup. Shot seemed to be just a tad off but still managed 25 I think. East has a very big starting 5 but guard play just leaves a lot to be desired. Orrick is a very big asset against the press. Great hands and a big target and passes really well. West only gave a token press at best for the most part. Atmosphere was not like any other East West games I have seen. Very quite for the most part.

I would hate to think I just po'd a team that thrashed me by 20 some points. Now they'll really be fired up. I can see the smile on Gaylon's face now. His team will not take the Lady Red lightly now that they have a reason to be fired up even more.

Cocke County falls to Science Hill 59 to 45. 2 outta 3 aint bad. But 3 outta 4 would be a lot better. Go Chiefs!!!!!

Morristown West wins 58 to 43 over Sullivan South after being down by 14 at the half. Gaylon gets win number 200 in 10 years at West.

Just a guess, but I would say they are talking about Price from Cherokee. I sure would like to know where you can find stats on all of the young ladies from the IMAC. Can anyone help me out here?

There is no one more deserving of Coach of the year than Gaylon. Not a fan of his but he can flat out coach. Greeneville and Cocke County's coach's have had great years but they also have a lot more talent then West in my opinion. At least heathy talent. West does have one thing that most teams don't and that's heart. Got to credit his team with that but Galyon in steals it in them.

Nice post LadyRedFan. Very nice team. Jeff just couldn't match Cocke County's size down the stretch. I'll agree with you on the calls they went both ways for the most part. IMAC Refs /sleep.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="-_-" border="0" alt="sleep.gif" /> are horrible and that's being kind. You see kids thrown all of the floor with contact everywhere and they call nothing. Then call a ticky tack foul. Par for the course I guess. Someone will get hurt someday and I fear what some /mad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry:" border="0" alt="mad.gif" /> angry parent will do. Hopefully I'm wrong. /unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":unsure:" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> /wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />

Congrats to the Lady Patroits tonight as they beat Sevier Co. in Sevierville by 9. 72 to 63 I think was the final score. Dez Huff was awesome tonight.

The refs must of realized how bad they were doing this is the stats from the boys game. Copied from the tri cities paper. Free throws were the biggest differential on the evening. The Greene Devils were 20-of-27 and the Trojans just 2-for-3. Ouch!!!!!! Refs are terrible everywhere as I feel most are there for the money. No other reason. However the Green Bank Classic what they did to the first team Greeneville beat was the worst I had ever saw. That mad scramble at the end of the game and the clock ran down to 2 seconds(and Greeneville knocked the ball out of bounds IMHO) and they put 5 seconds on the clock which was BS as there was no way they were watching the clock with all of the action that was going on. Then they didn't even bother to tell the opposing coach as he came out of the timeout asking what was going on and they never bothered to tell him.

Not me. Just goes to show how dominate they have been for the past several seasons. Gotta give them credit though. It doesn't start at the high school level and the other schools have finally started to realize it or they better because if they don't. The domination will continue. Their feeder programs and AAU teams are top notch. I wouldn't be surprised to see Cocke County or Cherokee make it happen this season though.

Everyone contributes to their own loss if that's the case. Not a West fan here, but they won plan and simple. As for the AD's, green probably goes a long way. I will say this in Greeneville's defense however. First and foremost they're a great bunch of young ladies and a great team but even great teams will lose from time to time. It just seems there is always someone or something else to blame instead of just taking a bump in the road and move on. Which I'm sure they will. The rest of this league isn't chopped liver however and on a given night they'll all give Greeneville a run for their money especially now that they know they can be had. The wins won't and haven't been as easy to come by this as in past years for the Lady Devils.

It amazes me how great Greeneville is but when they lose its all the things that they had go wrong instead of all the things West did right. The stars weren't aligned, overlooked their opponent, Nicole had a off night, McIntyre and Collins shots weren't falling, and the coach made bad calls. Give it a rest. They're a good team and should win the district and regional especially since they get home court advantage so everyone else can get used to the gym. What a bunch of BS. Give West all of the credit. They're small but they play as good of defense as anyone in the conference. They just have trouble scoring most nights. The only thing that matters is West won plan and simple. Go West you earned it and outplayed the almighty Devils.

Thoughts and prayers go out to Sidney Goins. A great young Lady and the best athlete in the IMAC in my opinion. Hopefully the MRI will bring good news.

They got their money. That was all that seemed to matter. All that ever matters with them. It's the good Ole Buddy network. Take care of your friends and let them work all of the time don't dare try and let some new blood in this area. These guys are horrible and that's being kind. If I was these teams coming from far away or next door for that matter I wouldn't ever come back to the classic if that was the best they could get. Loved the Classic it was exciting just seeing all of the games but the refs put a BIG damper on it. It's not a job I would want but if you're going to do it give it your best don't just collect a check. I set with several different fans and they were all upset.

Can anyone post results for all games today and maybe some schedule for tomorrow. Thanks in advance. Going to try an make it tomorrow.

Just curious. Anyone know which player questioned his ability to make the call?

I don't know about 3 or 4 me players, but there's one for sure. When you try and drive against 3 players that were all taller than you and you lucky and get bailed out with a foul which was probably a bad call. On top of that you get the ball with over 8 seconds to go in the 3rd quarter. You look directly at the clock and you slowly dribble up court and throw up a half court shot without looking for anyone else. Not to mention several turnovers. 3 to start the game. She's a great little player but one person cannot do it. She is going to have to realize there are other players on the court and play under control. She looked great on one fast break with a beautiful assist but that's the only one I remember. It's hard to step up when they rarely touch the ball unless there's a play being run. I think a lot of the stepping up each girl has to look in herself and see what they're made of. Defense and rebounding went away the second half but Fulton did start making some shots. 5 in 5 out might work with the right combo.

In Jeff County's case. Size does matter. In that they don't have any. I think Greeneville could have scored at will (not that they didn't) if they had went inside all night. Dickson and Collins sure made it easy for the guards to get uncontested shots off. They also made those shots. The Lady Devils are going to be hard to handle inside and out and they play great defense. With no inside game to match other teams. It's going to be very hard for Jeff County to stay with teams with size. Gotta give the Lady Patriots credit however. They don't give up. They're just going to have to stay under control and take good shots and take care of the ball.

Glad you ACTUALLY payed attention. Thanks for your support. Iamking for a day.
