When did Hampton and Unaka play?

What does uc do other then just play physical? How good are there players?

Cloudland won by 10 and Johnson co. Shot around 30 foul shots. Neither team hit many layups but cloudland missed 5 open layups on the break with no one on them. Need to be at the game to report it correctly.

Cloudland had 2 foul out and unicoi had 2 foul out.

Elizabethton,cloudland,morristown, and lenoir city looked pretty good

Not a fair statement at all. Courtney only had the girls for 5 practices before camps started. The girls are adapting to a new style of play. Nice wins in camps against Dekalb,York, Lenoir City and Elizabethton.

These are very good wins. I didn't know they beat elizabethton. That was a very good win, what camp was this?

The good, the bad and the ugly! One of my favorites! Also sounds like the game the other night too.

How would she be able to become eligible to play at Hampton? Did the family move over the weekend?

Done, if what you say is true and I have no doubt it is, you competition in the East in AA is pretty good but I'm not sure I have seen them around. In A, you might should circulate around the competition to see where you stand. Circulating around the State is humbling sometimes. Those who've tried to hide their way in to some recognition seem to be short lived. Grainger and Cloudland are known.

What do you mean? Do you mean Grainger and Cloudland do not stack up to other competition? I know you have seen other teams throughout the state, I am just wondering how teams from the east compare.

Thats funny region 1's top 3 teams would mop the floor with any team 4A put on the floor period. I will give OS credit they did have a stretch where they was phenominal when Christopher and Hall was there dont get me wrong,But I know for a fact this years North Greene and Cloudland and last years North Greene team that made it to the state semi-finals is way better than that OS team.

 

 

And yea Wartburg might be able to beat anybody on any given night in district 4A but they wont hear the gun go off against North Greene or Cloudland. Them and Oakdale both play crap teams and Oakdale got beat by a crap team on their own home floor in their Substate game so dont give me this crap about how good Chokedale Wartburg and all these other are because im not buying it. I hope Chokedale loads up that cupcake schedule and them or Wartburg Has to roll into Baylenton or Roan Mountain you will see real some real basketball is played.

We at Cloudland know that all teams in 4a are good teams. Each game we play this season will be a tough battle, especially once tournament time gets here! The teams in 4a are always battle ready and it is always a good game. Please don't associate us with this 3dgym jerk from North Greene!! Good luck to everybody and see you in the gym!! (in 2d!)

IT SEEMS LIKE THE LAST WORD IS MORE CONCERNED WITH WHO IS AT THE GAMES, WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND WHO THEY ARE WITH INSTEAD OF SUPPORTING THE TEAMS THEMSELVES. DID YOU EVEN WATCH THE GAMES? DID YOU NOTICE THAT COACH CHAMBERS WAS AT FRIDAY NIGHT'S GAME AND THE GIRLS WON? NO CONGRATULATIONS, NO WAY TO GO, NOTHING. DID YOU KNOW THERE WAS A GAME LAST NIGHT?

DID YOU HAVE A MICROPHONE ON COACH CHAMBERS AT THE CLOUDLAND GAME TO KNOW EVERYTHING THAT HE WAS SAYING? WAS HE SITTING BY HIMSELF OR WERE OTHERS WITH HIM? HAVE YOU STOPPED TO THINK THAT MAYBE HE WAS HAVING A SOCIAL CONVERSATION AND LAUGHING AT SOMETHING BESIDES THE BALLGAME?

ARE YOU A PARENT OF ONE OF THE GIRLS ON THE TEAM? IF SO, THEN YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN TALK TO HIM ABOUT ANY ISSUES THAT YOU MAY HAVE OR HAD. IF YOU HAVE SUCH ISSUES WITH THE MAN WHY DON'T YOU PUT ON YOUR BIG BOY PANTS AND GO TALK TO HIM FACE TO FACE INSTEAD OF HIDING HERE AND MAKING SUCH RIDICULOUS REMARKS. THIS THREAD IS NOT ABOUT HIM! IT IS ABOUT THE 7 TEAMS IN THE COUNTY AND HOW WELL THEY HAVE DONE. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT AND SUPPORT YOUR TEAM INSTEAD OF STIRRING UP SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER.

"It appears through your post (weed), you must have been smoking something before you typed! Your facts are completely wrong. Chambers is a good coach BUT he has ran off 12 to 18 girls over the last several years thus keeping the pressure off himself(your theory). As for his asst. coaches, one was fired for... well....(lack of loyalty from what I gather), the other has been moved twice from previous jobs for reasons I'd rather not mention(McClain ring any bells)? If the girls love coach Chambers so much, why are there only 9 girls in the program(lack of discipline, maybe)? I wonder why you are the only one who seems to think he's the answer.... you ever considered getting back into coaching? ."

This is a prev reply from someone and it is really interesting. I know this is a boys' post, but has Chambers really ran off 12-18 players? who are they? I know some may be pursuing other sports or interests, but that would be their preference. Coaching changes? Assistant coaches getting fired? they don't even get paid do they? The lack of discipline comment could go towards the girls that quit... not wanting to practice hard, not wanting to practice more, not wanting to let someone else play in front of them and pouting about it. That could be a thread in itself, for any team or sport. But really, what does he and his team success have to do with this thread and how the boys are doing?

King,

Sometimes convictions tend to cause sleepless nights! All the things that were said had NOTHING to do with basketball, so I'm not sure why you brought it to this thread. Let it be over and done with and good luck the rest of the season.

krichANTIunaka,

Once again you show your ignorance. All season long you have supported every team but your own namesake. the Lady Rangers played the best game they have played all year against one of the best teams. No one excepted this young team to make it out of 1st round of regionals (screenandroll) but they exceeded and ended up playing in a substate game. The girls did not play as well in the regional championship, thus they had to travel to Oliver Springs. Had you been at the game, you would be bragging about the level of play instead of bashing that "they played 2 quarters". Thanks for your support, maybe you can try to be better next year.

who would be the coach to brainstorm behind these dream teams?

apparently no one has any thoughts on the article, because we don't know which one you are talking about! shed some light on the story and why you didn't like it.

I'm going to pull for the Rangers on this one too. Not giving any points because it will be VERY close. I hope I have fingernails left at the end of the game!

Good luck Lady Rangers!!!!

Isn't the record for the Lady Rangers 27-1? Since Happy Valley forfeited the game for this Friday that would make a win for the Rangers.

but didn't you have a chance to reschedule the Unaka game and you chose not to? someone had a freshman game or something? why not play before next week? maybe on a Saturday? Didn't you have an idea of when the tournaments were going to be so you would have a sense of mind to not schedule games that close together? who does the scheduling anyway?

To set the record straight, I was not trying to get a game up between the two teams I was just giving my opinion why Unaka should be in the #1 spot and Elizabethton in the #2 spot. There is also no heartburn with any of the girls. They are a great group of very talented basketball players and by no means am I putting any of them down. I am sure if you ask the Lady Cyclones if they wanted to play the Lady Rangers they all would say "YES" I know most of these girls and they are all athletes and love compitition and would jump at the chance. However, someone with a little more authority says no because if we beat them it will look bad. Happy Valley on the other hand is also a AA school and they play the Lady Rangers. WOW why is this? If the challenge is there and you don't take it how can you be #1. I love horses they are so pretty and useful.

Have you heard the one about Happy Valley? They now do not want to play Unaka because it will interfere with them getting ready for their tournament!! They let Johnson County beat them, but they don't want to play Unaka because they will be 'to tired' to play at tournament time! So they are willing to forfiet a county game to possibly get put out in the 1st game in the tournament.

"I have to disagree, they both have a lot of floor time and heart that can't be taught. It must be earned. And the biggest reason to disagree is they lose one Heck of a coach, COACHH who has been with these girls since TAD. I don't mean to knock Wilson but just look at their record with Farthing on board vs without."

This is quoted by ball411.

Hasn't the Lady Rangers coach coached the same group of girls since elementary school? less 1 year, but then he had to reteach them how to play after that 8th grade year! So, again, on this one, there is no difference.

Thank God!!! We have somebody who recognizes that the Rangers belong on top!! Good job brutus.

didn't the Lady Rangers beat Cosby at Cosby last year?

way to go Lady Rangers! big win with final score 55-49. The girls played hard and never gave up. The Ensors' (Renee and Danielle) Julie, and Jessie played great on both ends of the court. the rest of the team followed suit to shut down the Landers. Keep it up!!!! Record is now 19-1.
