I wish Joe would play the entire game. I have seen him twice at the State and every time he doesn't play hard until the last few minutes if the game is tight. I even had a WS fan tell me he plays like that all the time. Maybe that is why he didn't want to go to UT since he would have had to play defense all the time.
I noticed there is no mid day break anymore. Used to be a good time to run out for a quick steak or something. I guess now I will have to eat hotdogs and pizza.
As an old timer, I can remember my senior year when Riverside and Howard played 5 times that year with Riverside winning them all. The last time they met was in the State Finals after they beat everyone else. Seasons like that is why they take two from the region.
AE's biggest problem will be the coaching. Mitchell has great atheletes every year but lately have been lucky just to get to the State. I would love to see Fulton's coach with AEs talent!!
My biggest question is why are alll 3 refs looking at the same thing instead of watching certain areas? Why does the ref at mid court call a foul under the basket on a blocked shot? How can a ref under the basket call goal tending? Many times I wish they would go back to two refs.
It depends on what you mean by "not trying to hurt anyone". If you don't count using the "N" word all night as not trying to hurt anyone and showing class, sure OS has class. But then what else is new, the teams in basketball the last few years has always done that to the blacks at Loudon.
