well 3d ... did I strike a nerve ? Now your really making me laugh !! Are you kidding me ??? Was this the 1st or 2nd game you have seen over the years ? And for Tyler's sake , I think being chosen "MVP of the STATE Tournament" Speaks for iits self..Was this other player you are talking about playing ? I watched the games , I saw all of them play. THEY ALL PLAYED OUTSTANDING !!!! However , TYLER WAS CHOSEN MVP !! And if I am not mistaken , He was chosen from a group of "Judges" (for lack of a better word) That had nothing to go on except his floor time in three games. NO PRESS !! just plain ole playing time !! From what ive seen , and there PLAYING is also SPEAKING for them. This is the most "Coachable" TEAM of boys Donald has had in the last few years. They LISTEN ! They UNDERSTAND !! They Execute !! and another thing ,, I dont really have a "favorite player/relative" I like all of them , Thats a great group of kids !!!!!!

WAY TO GO RANGERS !!!!!!!!!!! 3rd time in the last 4 years to the BORO !! What a TEAM !! This has got to be the BEST TEAM YET !!!! These boys play the best TEAM ball of any of the Rangers Teams in the last few years. I guess that Coach Kamikawa has a few words to eat . Especially the comment about "They lost their best player in Chambers " yeah right ... what a joke !!! Did he forget about Derek , Tyler, Josh , and Rusty HOLSTCLAW Playing in the state championship game also last year ? Who was the MVP of the STATE Tournament ? Tyler McCann , not Chambers........ Sorry , But I dont agree with that statment in the Elizabethton Star , Written by ,,,,,, who else.... Chambers dad , Tim , oh well .... I would brag on my kid too if , I had one playin. ,

HSsportsnut, I will have to say that The "UnderDog" teams (as Unaka is most of the time ) and it sounds like Rockwood is being labeled that as well , they usually thrive on the noise of the crowd . I think this will be the game of the year for these two teams. GO RANGERS !!!! Oh, as for chambers , hes gone , why is he being brought up in these posts ??

I'll have to agree , The last 2 games He just got out coached. plain and simple , questionable subs & times for the subs. But I think I said the same thing last year at times. It was a REAL Heartbreaker to see those ladies cry leaving the floor those last 2 games. KEEP your Heads up Ladies !!!! You've had a GREAT SEASON and GREAT High School Career !!! How ever , Kenneth IS a great coach. He has had most of that group of Ladies since they were in the 6th grade, and They are probablly some of the most tallented players any coach could ask for. Next year will be the true test for him . 7 seniors this year , 5 of them starters , and the other 2 usually number 6 and 7 in rotation.? How far will the Lady Rangers go ? I think he still has some talent left to work with , Hopefully they will go just as far.!! Go Lady Rangers !!

Oh , PTsportswirghter , Rusty WHO !! our Rusty playes center , and I have never seen him shoot a 3 !

Me , Being a TRUE Ranger Fan , I will have to say Rangers by 4 . Close game ? Yep , hot gym ? Yep, ever Hotter and Louder Ranger Fans ? , Dang Right !! Ive never seen Rockwood play , but they have to be either pretty good or Dang Lucky to get this far , and I'll bet , pretty good. GO RANGERS !!!!!!

I'll say home court advantage ! home "REF" advantage ! have you ever seen anything so obvious ? that trio was the worst yet ! I'll bet that slick headed guy got a little something "Extra" in his pocket. talk about a little tooo chummy with the "Home" team. come on , if your going to do this , don't be so obvious . oh, and what about the ref that couldn't get from one end of the court to the other ? I think he made about 5 trips total from one end to the other. that was pretty funny too. he done his job from the half court line, well.. ok .. maybe he did go 3-4 steps either way. sorry about that. oh well so much for refs......... or the lack of competent ones.......... good luck cosby, youll need it in your away games............

I've seen them play at home a couple of times. They have a pretty good team overall. kinda shallow bench. But their 3 best players wear a striped shirt . this was my observation. 11 fouls to 1 .... in their favor , in a half .... NO GAME , NO WHERE , plays that much one sided....... I don't care what anyone says......

Blackbird ? Blacksheep ? Whats up with that ? I thought that was supposed to be a secret . oh well, i guess not. Chambers , Collins and Jones have been approched by several Recruiters, But I didn't know it was to play Basketball. They had some sort of uniforms on, I thought it was the Army or maybe the Navy. I guess I was wrong.

Coach Kenneth Chambers, Unaka Lady Rangers !

GO RANGERS Our gym will be packed !! But Cosby did get 500 tickets. and the Rangers got 500 tickets. I talked to the Unaka A.D. at Hancock , and he was only selling 1 ticket per person. He told me that was all they were allowed to sell per person. the gym will be HOT !! The Fans will Be Loud and Proud !!!!! This will not be an easy game for either team !! No blow-outs here tonight ! And Cocky..... your wrong... I know all the boys, and there pretty calm at game time. The fans will yell and raise more ruckus than the team. The doors will open for fans and parents at 5:00 . Me bein a Ranger Fan ... I will say Rangers by 3 . So, Cosby fans and Players , Drive saftely ,and have a good trip .

Joe, you still haven't read the post. Try again. this time . slow down and read.

well , luvsbball , thats what you get for doing your own thinking. i dont recall ever saying if i had a kid that played ball, or pick-up sticks or checkers or anything else for that matter. but since, you brought it up , it SEEMS that you have it figured out, so we'll leave it at that. na, lets not.... YOU are WRONG ! I AM NOT WHO YOU THINK I AM !! but again, YOU TWO are the ones POINTING fingers, read my post VERY CLOSE, I DID NOT post any NEGATIVE comment about ANY of the Rangers. !! I THINK , ( there I go, Thinking for Myself, could be bad) my comments were POSITIVE ! I wouldn't bash the boys if none of them could throw a ball in the ocean ! They are trying ! and like you said, they do seem to get along. and that means more than winning a game. and What are you talking about tdogs profession ? what did i say ? i guess i missed that one. If your talking about the "Practice what you preach " comment , well, i tend to tell alot of people that. i haven't called any names , unless it is in PRAISE !! Read the post for what it says instead of what you want it to say. hey Joe , seems that you also need to read the post very closely. and Thanks for the complement. I guess my name is appropriate, me bein a "JugHead" and all. but my whole point is : COACHTDOG AND LUVSBBALL ARE "CASTING THE STONES" NOT "I" .

hey preacher, i mean tdog , what is the ___________ for in your post ? just wondering . if you thought it , thats the same as saying it in Gods eyes. just be carefull. hey luvsbball, calm down, no ones casting stones at your son, or anyone else's son , but YOU ! your the one pointing fingers . you and tdog.. are you two related or something ? those two posts are almost the same. both of you are pointing fingers and casting the first stone. these two posts have just all but told me who you are. and a big "AMEN" to letting Donald and Johnny do the coaching, but if your who i think you are , you need to practice what you preach ! and , yes i've seen the people keeping their "lists" as you call them. and from what ive seen they are keeping up with their kids stats, points,freethrows,fouls,steals, and so on, again looks like you are the one casting stones. tdog, i wonder again, why wont the boys pass the ball down the floor ? why is that 5th guy down the floor so soon ? fast break away ? not playing both ends of the floor ? ? ? you tell me ? i dont know much about the game , but i thought both ends of the floor required all 5 players. DEFENSE AND OFFENSE !! ESPECIALLY DEFENSE !!! but, i dont know much about the game, so you explain it to me. also , i think you are totally wrong about the selfish play. lets talk about that. for instance : Cody Collins : maybe gets 6-8 ppg. why ? he's not shooting, hes passing the ball off. selfish ? NO WAY !! Derek Cline 10-14 ppg hes not shooting either, he's passing the ball off ! selfish ? NO WAY !! these two could put 16-20 in every game. their percentage is high. so , who's shooting ?? Tyler McCann ,no, another player who has good numbers but still only averages about 6-8 ppg, selfish? i dont think so. the two "post players" as you two are calling them, aka Josh Jones and Rusty Holsclaw, again , these are the two who should be scoring the points . ? but , Why are they only getting 8-10 ppg ? and thats only one of them , not both. why ? because they are NOT getting the Ball !! WHY ?? again , please explain this game to me. you are casting the stones,, now , you explain this to me and tell me whos selfish and whos passing the ball and whos shooting the ball and whos scoring the points ?? . and "Publicity" ? do their numbers look like players who are concerned about their publicity ? nope.

Has Tolley got enough vertical leap to dunk... ? or did he use a step ladder ?

is it possible for the Rangers and Landers going to state ? Your right , That would be GREAT !! two teams from Carter County !!

It will be another barn burner ... 60-47 Landers........ ha ! I dont think so... Your dreamin. Your way toooo confident...... I read in another post about Rusty and Derek... dont worry about us... Rusty would play and play just as hard sick as he would healthy .... thats just the way he is.... and Derek,s hand.. Well That was a practice injury , if that tells you anything... If it dont , I'll tell you... Derek and all the other guys PRACTICE just as hard as they play the games.... so Landers , LOOK OUT ..... And All the trash talking in the world is not going to help you ..Just like RangerBook said, It will be decided by the REFS !! Another 5 or 6 point game by the Rangers ! Go Rangers !!

Your gonna get beat, Your too confident !

Chambers , aka "Tabasco Hot "SAUCE"

My bad on the nick names, its not "Juice" its " The Sauce" as in "Tabasco HOT SAUCE"

I agree with that statement 110 % Loco. TEAM BALL IS THE NAME OF THE GAME !! I Hope My Rangers see this ! Thats the best post I've seen on here in a VERY long Time !!

OverConfidence, Lack of respect for the UnderDog, I'm saying IT COULD happen. we'll have the Home floor advantage, and our fans, It will Help us.We only have 9 players that will see floor time. Out of those, We have 3 guys that Can Drop the Three's on you all night, we got 3 more guys that can fake you right outta your shoes, go arround you and score at any given time, and if it turns into a free throw shooting contest, well ,3 of those THRIVE on the noise of the crowd, and 1 of those proved it at UH last Friday night. I think his nick name is "The Juice " . Oh , but I forgot, One of the Knox fans said "Just because they have nicknames, Don't mean their any good" . And I'll have to agree with her, it doesn't really mean anything,,,, Till you see them play the way "Juice" did Friday night at University High. and EARNED his name. How many of the Knox players will see the floor ? any REAL standouts ? I dont remember from last years game in your Gym. All I remember is getting BEAT !! BAD !! (Again , Your Overconfidence) Unaka .... Easy game .....Ya Right ... Another BAttle from Buzzer to Buzzer......... GO RANGERS!!!

so Crazy, the POOR DUMB HILLBILLY KNOWS his Math, ha ! so , Who's the STUPID one ? And Another thing, RETARDED ? Heres what I think about Underdogs and winners and losers playing ANY Game . Any Team Can Beat Another Team on Any Given Day. There's way too many variables to tell you My Rangers Will, 100% for sure beat You, Or Knox will beat My Rangers.. You just never know. I wouldn,t Bet against them if I were You.

OK, Crazyness... So you counted, alright, IT WAS CALLED 2 to 1 AGAINST Unaka. So, Who's PAYIN Who !!?? So, its not just me. THE REFS ARE REALLY THE CRAZY ONES. No two Teams play that uneven. I dont care who they are.

Looks like Cloudland is WAY TOO OVERCONFIDENT !! That will be their Downfall this time. talkin too much smack. It will be a tight game. No runaways on the 10th. Refs will play as much a part of the game as the players. Refs, bought and paid for ? Always looks like that when Unaka Goes to Cloudland. Unaka is the UnderDogs in anybodies gym, Always has been, and always will be. thats just the way it is. The Starters will have to play hard , TEAM ball, and the Subs will have to STEP UP and PLAY Harder than ever. I'll Say Unaka By 3. A fight to the end !
