Cloudland 24 Oneida 21 It's going to be a very cold night so I hope everyone is fired up enough to stay warm. Oneida always has very good fan support so the Lander fans better not come in all dead headed tonight. Noise makes a difference. Remember Cherokee?

I just wanted to give a big shout out to my buddy K-rich and say best of luck to the Rangers tonight. Congratulations on a great season! I hope all Carter County teams can postpone basketball for a while longer.

You're welcome. It's a red RS w/a black vinyl top. Hope you have a safe trip to the game!

I believe he means that they might be the hardest hitters in region 2.

Certified Cheerleader? Now that is just too funny. I guess you could say I earned my certificate alright. And yes, I can name them all by first and last name but then again so can pretty much everyone else in Roan Mtn from the age of 3 to 93. I guess we're just all a sweet bunch. Go Bill & Possum! I'll be rootin' for you, as always! Play hard! Oh wait, perhaps I should re-phrase that and say, Go Johnson & Pritchard! There now, does that sound a little less sweet?

I'm by no means saying we aren't supposed win. We're Cloudland fans, we always expect a win. However, we've dealt with naysayers all season about how "down" we are this year. Heck, 73% is already picking Oneida to win, so all I am saying is that we could care less what the prediction is, it just gives us more to prove since everyone is assuming that we can't pull out a win without Dakota and Mark. Last year was great and so were all those guys that played but they're gone now but our pride isn't. We know Oneida is coming and believe me we're ready. They're not being overlooked in the slightest way. I'm not ready for basketball season yet and I know a whole lot more people in Roan Mountain that aren't either. Oneida has a safe trip up here. Better listen to Maynardette, she gives good advice.

We'll be glad to take the title of the underdog. If we come out on top that will make the win that much sweeter. Best of luck Landers, I know you will play your hearts out!

Abe, we are all very proud of all of you for sticking things out and working hard to have a very respectable season. I am sure that there are plenty of people that are shocked or surprised because there was so much hype about this being a re-building year and when you had a few losses, a lot of them sort of went diving off the band wagon. There is no shame in losing, only in not trying your best. I think those that doubted you are taking a second look at you now. The playoffs look promising. Just focus on one step at a time like you have been. Best of luck at JJ Kelly!

Congratulations to the Landers! Even though things got off to a slow start, it only made you better. Coach Keith and staff have done a great job keeping things together. Everyone should remember that there may be times when the Landers are down but they should never be counted out. Keep up the good work!

I hope we have a good, safe game with no injuries for either team. Bill & Possum, I'm proud of the way you have stepped up this year! Go Landers! P.S.-If anyone asks, you haven't seen me. I still owe KRich a hotdog.

Why in the world would I want to use MapQuest and miss all the fun and adventure of using one of Keith's famous maps?

Just wondering if anyone is traveling to Rye Cove and if Mr. Keith has made a map yet.

I was at the game. They played tough but they made some mistakes and had a some turnovers that hurt bad. I don't think they laid down at all. They had some injuries throughout the game and they struggled toward the end. Possum had some awesome hits. Jonah was a workhorse and I thought BJ played the best game of his career. These losses are hard but if they stick together as a team, it will make them tough when it comes conference time. We just need to get through these first few games without any injuries. That will be a huge factor because there isn't a lot of depth. We haven't been off to an 0-2 start in a long time but don't count them out because I saw a lot of heart last night, regardless of the score. I am proud of them! Also, I just want to say that it was sad that the stands were empty. A little support would be nice. They deserve it.

I must say that I was disappointed that we lost but I also know that we can't be on top all the time. This is a new year so let's just stop comparing this year to last year and move on. The kids and Coaches deserve that. The real fans will still be there and I guess everyone else can go find another game. Play hard and don't give up!
