MAJOR step forward tonight. Good things happen when you trap press, with Bell, Thomas, Hampton and Atkins we should have enough speed and depth to do this entire games. Terrence played hard tonight AND for the most part was under control. Big game from Chris Donald and Hillsman. I will even give some props to Morris. Xavier Webb is a MONSTER.

I know the kids and their parents who were approached.  Four total.  We might want to leave it at that.  I also know who approached them.  Not a coach or a teacher or even a student, but others very prominent to the school(s).

 

But C, if it wasn't a coach or teacher then it isn't illegal recruitment, right? After all, if it was some parent telling some other parent how good a school is then that is certainly not something the school can be held accountable for. That is like saying that if I have a Dell computer and tell people how good it is that Dell is responsible for what I say.

 

I don't know if that was the case, just noticing that you mentioned it was not a coach or teacher or student.

This is a typical statement coming from the private school crowd. As long as a coach wasn't DIRECTLY involved it's ok? If a prominant booster does it it's ok? Everyone knows this is how it's done.

How soon we forget, hero to goat. Bell was Huntingdon's savior in football and could do no wrong. Now he needs to be sitting on the bench for showboating and he did the same thing in football. The guy has always been a showboater but Huntingdon was winning and it was ok. Now you have some of his biggest fans from Huntingdon sreaming for his hide. We live in a flaky world!

Nobody is screaming for Bell's hide, we are screaming for the coaches hide.

Being Pretty hard on the MVP of the your football state championship game..lol

 

Is he that big of a distraction?

Bell is a good kid. He's too reckless and emotional on the court. That was a plus for him on the gridiron but you got to be in control on the hardwood. He has no coaching. With his speed he should be driving to the basket and looking to dish the ball if he doesn't have the open layup. I agree with the poster who said we need to be going inside with the ball. Hillsman is a monster inside( and the only player I've noticed who really seems to care) Kenneth you need to impose your will on this team.... and Chris Donald jumps out of the gym. Chris is playing timid on offense...he needs to be fed the ball in the low post to get him over this. Donald is a weapon even without scoring because he can control the glass. John Thomas is probably the best pure shooter that has been through HTown in a long time.....He just does it whether he's open or not. All this is indicative of coaching, I don't think anybody thinks we have bad kids.

I agree Morris is a MORON. I will also say the refs last night were the worse I have seen in a long time, but good teams overcome that mess. I think I would have kept feeding the ball to Hillsman and Donald until I fouled out Bain. Camden is not a very good team without him on the floor. I told somebody last night when Huntingdon went on their run to go up that they would have to get up by at least 14 to be able to hold on for the win. A little more advice....quit the friggin dancing before the game...at this point ya'll have nothing to be cocky about. Bring Joe Dan Wooten out of retirement, he'd get those boys respect. YOWZA!!!!

Gimmee this team and I could win in any classification

Kelcey Williams is the best back I have ever seen. westview had a back 6 or 7 years ago, Nick something....I think he quit his senior season, but he was tough.

I think Lipscomb would go to 4A and Goodpasture to 3A. Not sure about Tyner.

All in all I was pretty impressed with Baker and Crocker what little bit they got to play. They both throw a good ball it looks like. If Hampton is as good a QB as he is a DB he's got my vote though.

Just name one recruited player at MBA in the past 10 years. You'll find the majority of MBA's athletes live within 10 minutes of school. Please just support your arguement with one example...you should know how to do this, music scholarship and all.

I don't keep up with your program enough to name one player, I'm sure there are some people closer to the situation that could though. Here is the quotes from your website. It doesn't take a whole lot of smarts to figure out from this statement how you get the athletes.

MBA Home - Admissions - Tuition and Financial Aid

Tuition Costs and Financial Aid

The cost of tuition for the 2003-2004 school year is $13,375. Other fees may apply.

Payment plans are available as is Tuition Refund Insurance

MBA offers financial based on demonstrated need. The school follows the financial aid guidelines established by the School and Student Service for Financial Aid (SSS) in determining need. Contact the Admission Office for application materials and additional information.

It will cost approximately $17,800 to educate each MBA student this year. Tuition and fees cover only 69% of this cost. Through the generosity of parents, alumni, and friends, the Annual Fund and Endowment subsidize the cost of each boy's education. This year, Annual Fund dollars will cover over 12% of operating costs.

This discussion really doesn't belong here and I'm done with it on this thread.

Perhaps you were offered a music scholarship by some school. It wasn't offered by MBA, though.

No, it wasn't.

take all that hogwash you just said and blow it up somebody elses hind quarters. I know better....and so do you.

 

Sorry, chief - everything Redtwin told you is true. Check out the MBA website. Call the school yourself. Saying it's "hogwash" only weakens any arguments you make.

You can call it anything you want. Hey, if it makes you feel better believe whatever you want to believe. I was "recruited" to play baseball on a music scholarship......but I can't sing a lick. You can call a potato a turnip but it's still a potato.

take all that hogwash you just said and blow it up somebody elses hind quarters. I know better....and so do you.

By the way, you might want to take the advice you are giving out in your signature. ????

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY?

I won't pretend to know anything about DII private schools, but how do they get such great atheletes without giving athletic scholarships? I'm sure that all their atheletes aren't academically talented enough to get academic scholarships. I'd also say that some of their atheletes are not financially capable of going to a private school either.

THEY ARE JUST STUPID. DAVID LIPSCOMB IS A PRIVATE SCHOOL AND THEY DON'T PLAY IN D2. D2 SCHOOLS GIVE SCHOLARSHIPS THAT IS WHY THEY ARE SEPERATED. PLEASE SHUT UP ITZME AND BIGBLAH YOU ARE EMBARRASING YOURSELF BIGTIME.

I don't think this game was an "upset", but rather an "awakening". This game exposed once again, all these so called experts who keep forgeting the game is played on the field and not in the newspaper. An "upset" is when a underdog team beats a favored team once, but probably couldn't do it again. If Huntington & Lipscomb played 10 times, Huntington would win 10 times.

 

anybody disagree ?

YOU GOT THAT RIGHT. 10 OUT OF 10 EASILY. AND SO WOULD MILAN. LEWIS COUNTY WOULD BEAT THEM ABOUT 7 OUT OF 10. MCKENZIE WOULD BEAT THEM 6 OUT OF 10. CHESTER COUNTY WOULD BEAT THEM 5 OUT OF 10. MARK HOLTON YOU NEED TO WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE.

Your ingorance is embarrassing. Stick to what you know, and you obviously know nothing about MBA. You couldn't name one player recruited to play at MBA in the past 10 years.

 

YOUR ignorance is pretty embarrasing. Why are they playing in the D2? BECAUSE THEY GIVE SCHOLARSHIPS. THEY RECRUIT.

It wasn't a shock to anybody from region 5-8. Ya'll really shouldn't buy into the "Nashville" hype so much. Anybody who really thought that Lipscomb was "one of the greatest 2A's ever" were just lying to themselves.

Rod might get it. Who else in west tn will get all state?...

Milan last year had :

George West Jr. QB

Daylan Walker So. WR

Rod Smith Jr. Free Saftey

If they nominate 2 you are right, Smith should be up there also.

Nellett will make All-State DL

Hillsman will make All-State OL or DL

Bell will make All-State running back

Matt Spellings and Nathan Wallace should make at least honorable mention on the OL ( but these kids absolutely dominated in the championship game)

Add Beasley to the list you got there, Walker? might get KO returner or DB , and that should be the ones from Milan.

David Sharp from Lewis County should be a lock for all state punter.

Drew Hayes from McKenzie should be all-state but probably won't get it (honorable mention maybe)

If Terrence Bell does not get AA Running Back ALL-STATE, then there is no justice in the world.

THANKS VETTER.

I suggested last night giving the game tape to the Court Theater and letting them show it for a few nights. I guarantee the biggest crowds they've had in a long time!!

 

 

Love them 'Stangs!!!!!

Wonderful idea. I think the "I Believe" video needs a little editing now to add on those boys holding up the gold ball at the end too!!!!

You boys did yourselves proud last night. Good Job!!!!

Bell is the man!!! The offensive line was blowing people off the line last night.

Next year in the west, Huntingdon, McKenzie, Martin Westview, and Milan should be fighting for the clinic bowl berth.
