catchpc10

You all from Celina and some of you from JC have no idea what it is like to have a winning boys program....you have no idea what it takes....and no, it won't be like this in two years....these sophomores are gonna be very good as seniors after getting a lot of playing time for two years...these freshman will maybe start getting time in games next year....and this group of 7th graders is gonna be good even when they get to high school in two years at freshman....this Hughes kid, 6'3 center, is a man child in 7th grade....wait til he gets to high school, all these 7a folks will be eating their words once again.

They aren't playing in the right order??? According to....who?? You? Like I said earlier, that is just another opinion of yours which...guess what...means nothing! Did you go to all the Summer games??? Have you been to all the games so far in the preseason and season? If not, who are you to be giving your opinion on who should be playing. My opinion is probably much different from yours but guess what I am not the coach...and neither are you (thank goodness because I can already tell that it would not work out)...

 

When you become the COACH of the team, attend all the practices, all the games (summer, preseason, season, christmas tournaments, jv, etc) then your opinion will be the one that everyone listens to, but since I do not see that happening for quite some time (hopefully never), your opinion will be just that....AN OPINION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

AND by the way bashing Coach Bibb is not really the way to get your opinion through. Funny thing about the "True" fans like you, but when the going gets tough...blame the coach right? No one complained when he was winning hundred plus games in the past several years, but now jump ship......True Fan!

I went to no summer games, no reason to....you learn nothing about your team in summer games. Coach Bibb didn't really even have his starting line up figured out until Christmas tournaments, so why would I go watch them in summer when they are playing meaningless games? I got to more games than I miss, I've probably been to 90% of the game this year and probably 90% of them since I was old enough to drive. So don't give me this crap that I'm not their watching our product every night. As for these freshman? I've watched the ones who have been in PC school system (Chase Young and Scott Jolly) ever since they where in sixth grade, so yeah, I know what they where made of, and what kinda players they will be.. I think this Brandon Rupp or Roop (however you spell it, don't have the program guide in front of me at the moment) will be pretty good as well....I just see it from what I've seen them play. Listen I was a little frustrated about this one Ferrell kid getting in, with like 3 mins in the 3rd quarter left, not mad at him, mad a Walker or whoever put him in to get him mins, but won't put these other kids in to get them some mins. What I'm frustrated about is, I want ALL of our freshman to get some experience at the end of games, thats what I'm trying to get across, so that in two years I don't have to get on here and have this same darn conversation....I've never really been bashing Coach Bibb, I've been bashing Walker, because he is the one "coaching" the freshman, and in charge of getting them in at the end, I just wish Bibb would get ahold of that situation a little bit....I like Coach Bibb and always have, but don't you think that he won a couple of hundred games because he had amazing talent sat in his lap from the first second he got here? I mean he had Joe Bailey, Josh Wright, Lance Mason...his first two years and Jake Wright, TC, Logan and Gibson the last 3 years...I want to see him do it with lesser talent like he has now, and see how he does. I'm not jumping ship on Coach Bibb and his abilities, but from what I heard, he attempted to jump ship on us last year, and wouldn't be surprised if he tried again this summer, so yeah....I've soured on someone who doesn't want to be with one of the most decorated and historically rich programs in the state. But he's still our Coach, and I love having him here.

catchpc10......are you serious????? Must just not like Coach Bibb? Sounds as close to a stupid comment as I have heard in a long time on these boards.....probably about the last time you posted if I was guessing would have been the last comment that was this stupid. Now back to the thread. PC is young, and did not shoot free throws very well against JC or they would have won, but lets remember they were picked last and was not supposed to be in the game with JC or Clarkrange, but someone as incompetent as you would not be expected to know that. As for the comment on who YOU think should play now and who should be subbed in first and on and on....well that is the reason that you are not the coach, and Coach Bibb is. There is definite talent in the freshman class, and watching as many ball games as I have in past several years I would say they are now playing in the order they should be playing in, regardless of what someone like you (who has neither the competence or knowledge of the game) thinks. You need to remember that these are high school kids, and you bashing them does not help anyone, so here is some advice! GROW UP for goodness sakes!!!!!!! Attacking a freshman, or any other high school student must make you feel so great...... I have an idea for you.....how about you go back into your two years of silence because what you said in one post was enough to seal about everyone's opinion of you (really dumb) FOREVER!!!! Please, let the Coacht public not have to read another stupid comment from someone who has to get their self confidence by attacking high school students! AGAIN GROW UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

P.S. It is good to see that you can read the program handed out at the game to see that the Ferrell kid is 5'6" though. At least you can read.....that is a plus!!!!!! Now, should I emphasize again how much you need to GROW UP...for all our sakes!

I'm not talking about the JC game, our boys played well enough to win, but they didn't for whatever reason. It was a well coached game as well. But last night as well as some other nights of blowouts, we hindered our program by not getting our freshman some playing time...they ALL deserve it, for showing up at practice and giving it their all, but I can't understand why one of the freshman would get in half way through the third quarter and the others would only get in for 1:30 left in the fourth quarter, when basically all of the freshman are close to the same. Listen I love PC basketball, probably more than most. I'm not so much a basketball fan, I'm just a PC fan by heart, and I just hate to see our program the way it is right now....I understand this happens, where some schools go through this every so often, but it doesn't happen to PC that often. I guess I just want the damage to be as little as possible, and the best way to do that is to get All your players experience whenever and wherever you can...I'm not attacking the kid, not at all. I have no reason to. So no, they aren't playing in the correct order....they arent playing in the order Walker wants because he is a favorite? I tell you, I am simply trying to get our program to wake up....stop playing favorites, if thats what they are doing, get these freshman in at the end of blow out games, so that we fans don't have to set through this again in two or three years. LA played favorites with kids for years and years, and they weren't very good. Now Coach Melton is playing his talented guys, most of who he developed, and look what they have become....Question for you here, did I attack you? No, not unless you are Walker or Coach Bibb, I don't know maybe you are the Ferrell kids family, but other than that, I don't know why you would attack me. So maybe you should grow up.

what in the world are you talking about, Bibb is playing who he thinks can help him win , now the wheelhouse is not a danger anymore to visiting teams because of a lack of talent and people like coaches Charles and Eric Mitchell and Steve Asberry are gone but Bibb ia a good coach. Now your girls have the talent but are fundamentally weak and you can blame that on whoever but a devided team has to regroup because anyone can be successful with great talent but your best coaching is winning when you have your players over acheiving and getting in the position to win games.

did you go to the game against Jackson Co. the other night? Because they gave your boys everything they could handle, and they were lucky to get out of their with a win, whenever that ref didn't call that tackle foul at half court on Ben Aaron....Everyone in the gym knew that was a foul....but the refs had their whistles in their pockets. But then again, PC could have won it with those two free throws with 20 secs or so.

deleted

So when the players can't make wide open shots, it is the coach's responsibility to design plays where his team can get a layup every possession? Why don't you help Bibb out with that. Clay County was actually playing defense. And it's obvious you weren't at the Pickett County game when Livingston beat your Bobcats by 20+ on your home court. The Wildcats, my friend, are the most athletic team Pickett has played. If you don't believe me, then just wait till you all get another dose next month.

Bibb is an excellent coach, he just needs to get his team put back together. Everyone wondered about this team before Christmas tournaments last year, and that when they really started to turn things around. Maybe these early lickin's will help them in the long run. Clay Co. had a stellar defense on the other night, they deserve a lot of credit. Wasn't Case one of the officials in that La @ PC game? I could have not even went to that game and told you PC wasn't going to walk out of the gym with a win, especially with no TC and John Sells out. I agree with 7afan, White Co. is the most athletic team they've played. Dunn is the most athletic player we've played against, but I'll take Jacob over him any night.....even on the bad ones. That may be a little bias by me.

Your'e right CatchPC Pickett Co. should be very good this year. Please forgive me for not mentioning them before. Pickett is always tough at home and they have a solid group of starters coming back including one of my favorite players Miss Lindsey Wright! From all that i've heard the new coach has the girls excited about the upcoming year. I have alot of respect for their previous coach as well, does anyone know if Allison is coaching elsewhere this year?

Yeah devil, I think PC will be pretty good this year....not that I was bashing any of the former coachs in my previous post. Allison did an excellent job while she was at PC, and after I made that post I saw that it seemed like I might have been bashing her....not at all what I was saying. She was a good coach. I was simply stating that I know Brent's coaching stategy and he fits this team really well. I think Allison is on the coaching staff at Cookeville, I know she's teaching there. I still think this district is between jackson co and clarkrange.

Well, give me someone out of 7a and i'll take my chances. Jackson Co. got the only piece they needed last year, a dominant post player, and that team went to the semi-finals. Clarkrange looks to be dominanting as well. But there may be one surprise this year in 7a.....Pickett Co. same players, but they've added a big time coach in Brent Smith. Its never been the lack of players in PC the past few years, it was getting a coach who coud handle all the attitudes and out coach the other team, Smith can do that. He took PC boys baskettball program to the state twice and won a championship himself as a player.

well I don't know anything about 8a this year, but looks like Pickett Co. should be the top team in 7a this year. They return all but one starter (albeit one of their best) but they still have jacob and t.c. This year depends mainly on how t.c. stays out of foul trouble this year. Their are no other big guys on this team. Clay Co. looks to be contending with Jackson Co. for 2nd. Clay Co. returns their main players, plus with the closing of Hermitage Springs School, they add the top scorer in 7a, Birdwell. Jackson Co. lost alot of their starters, but they were a deep team last year with alot of jrs. Don't know alot about the rest of the district, Clarkrange and Monterey look to battle for the fourth spot.

Well Pickett has a couple of arms, but I don't think any of them are as good as roddy. Travis Matthews has been established as their number 2 starter and he is good in his own right, if he keeps his head. After that you've got Jeremiah Copeland, and how good he pitches depends on what day you catch him on. One day he can have electric stuff and great control, the next he complains that his arm hurts (when it really doesn't) just so he doesn't have to throw anymore. After that its Jacob Wright and James Gibson. Haven't seen James pitch that much, and he was "ok" when I did see him pitch. Jacob is a different story, the kid throws incredibly slow, but its so slow that its hard to put anything behind it because you have to generate all the power. His ball moves alot and he pretty good at locating. One game me and one of the assitant coach's where clocking him and he was throwing some where in the 35- 45 range. Pickett I think has the horses to win the district this year, but with their attitudes changing everyday like I've been seeing lately, I'm not sure they will. Either way it is gonna be Pickett and Monterey as the 1 and 2 seeds, I'm not sure which one is gonna be which going into district. I think Pickett can split but I'm not sure they can go up to Monterey and win.

Depending on the output of the games, I think that Roddy is definately in the consideration for Pitcher of the year, I don't have his stats infront of me, but he has looked pretty impressive when I've seen him. I figure Horton will get player of the year, cause I saw somewhere that he has 10 or more homers. As for other Pickett players, I think if they get second place they get atleast 4 players... I think along with Roddy that Pickett County's other all-district players should be Travis Matthews, Jeremiah Copeland, and Jacob Wright. Maybe James Gibson if they get another player.

I think this team is loaded with tallent, its just a matter of killing the attitudes and them to start playing to their potiential. I think they have maybe been told by so many people in Pickett Co. that they are "so" good, and they have inflamed heads. They need to realize that they haven't won anything yet. 3 or 4 of these kids were on the team that I was on back in 04 that finished second in the district by beating monterey. They need to remember how hard it was to win that game and apply that to every game they play Monterey the rest of the season. One thing you can always say about Loop is that he'll never quit until the last out is recorded.

I think that both Monterey and Pickett Co. are both locked into no worse than the 2 seed, and to be honest I don't see either getting beat in the tournament except to whichever loses to the other but upsets are always possible. It should be a great tournament and I can't wait to watch it. Good luck to both teams.

Hawg-I, I've heard that monterey has three pretty good pitchers this year, one guy who used to play their said that it maybe the best staff looper has ever had, did you see that when you played them? 7A has to be up in the air from the lack of jackson, celina, monterey, and pickett co. players and fans response to this topic.

Pickett Co. beat Jackson co. again last night 10-2, sweeping jackson co. for the regular season? Can pickett hang with monterey or are they gonna have to settle for 2nd place? Is jackson co. the third best team in the district or will clay or rbs challenge them as well?

QUOTE(muffin @ Mar 20 2007 - 07:36 AM) 826418205[/snapback]I am completely out of it,I can,t even get them to enter their schedule.

I hear ya on that muffin, I can't get Pickett co. to get their schedule posted on here either.

I've only seen Pickett and Jackson co. play this year, and that was tonight at jackson co. with pc winning 7-5. so I figure monterey is picked to win it. I also heard they have some really good pitching. How is everyone else gonna match up? Is it between these three teams for the district? Swason and muffin I know you've got the red boiling sources, how are they looking this year?

Anyone got a schedule of their games? District? Region?

It'll be the winner of the Humboldt/Temple game, with Culleoka having an outside chance at it.

QUOTE(THELEGEND @ Mar 5 2007 - 10:46 PM) 826401539[/snapback]My boys from the 3rd are headed to the Murphy Center! Great win in an environment that non one has ever conquered. By the way catch, it is goaltending once the ball hits the backboard and that balll clearly hit the glass.

It might have hit glass after he slapped it. I sat there with my 20 20 vision and saw it. No goal tending.

QUOTE(taydizzle @ Mar 5 2007 - 08:46 PM) 826401217[/snapback]Hmmmm....Not saying much now I suppose. CSAS didn't fall flat on their faces. I'm sure that CSAS enjoyed the culture shock, and i know that PC has never ever seen anything like the CSAS PATRIOTS!!!

 

Congrats to the PATS, they've had some great teams in the past years, its great to see them heading back to the state.

Oh I'll say alot, don't expect me to just set down and be quiet. Listen CSAS did win tonight, congrats to them. They shot well in the first half, but they aren't a great team. This team is not good enough to win state. I didn't see a dominant CSAS team, I saw a pickett co. team that beat theirselves. I have to question what in the world that ref was thinking on the call where he called goal tending? The ball had barely left the guys hands, bad call changed pickett's game plan the last min and a half of the game. I think TSSAA needs to clean out all refs in the state, we've had all of these guys before and they haven't been good either time.

QUOTE(thomaschatt_pats @ Mar 4 2007 - 11:43 PM) 826400108[/snapback]talking about being ready... CSAS will defintly be ready for pickett co. im pretty sure you all do have a great student section... we do as well, some of the most dedicated fans in chattanooga and tell the student section we dont just show up for the game in our clothes we feed the energy to our team, we work together to be sucessful, i hope your cheerleaders play a part in putting fuel to the fire because ours sure does! its all good that that you all are almost undefeted at home... how many teams do you play that are out of single A, we play AAA teams and almost win, we lost by 5 to howard and it was an away game so we can play with the big boys! im not doubting pickett county i have heard alot of things about you all, hope you all are in shape bacause were fast!!! you havent seen anything like this presure before, CSAS wins this one by 2! good luck pickett you will be needing it too!

We've played triple A schools on the road. White Co. who is still in the sub state, Shelbyville Central who wasn't bad, now we didn't win those games, and they weren't really even close, but we have 200 students, they have over a thousand, but after those games is when pickett co. started clicking. We always here this stuff about us "never seen this" kinda stuff before. Well we had never seen anything like friendship before, beat 'em. We'd never seen anything like temple before, beat 'em. We'd never seen anything like CSAS before, well we'll see in about 2 1/2 hours. District 7a is tougher than you think, plus they've played all kinda competion this year, that has them ready for this game.

QUOTE(thomaschatt_pats @ Mar 5 2007 - 11:06 AM) 826400447[/snapback]im with this guy Coach Dragoo will have his boys ready a gym is a gym and when your very diciplined you can do many things so... good luck to everyone

A gym is a gym? Seems like I've heard that some nine times before. Everyone from chattanooga always picks the chattanooga teams, and they always fall flat on their face. But atleast your confiedent, makes it more fun to get on here after the game. Enjoy the culture shock, you've never, and I mean never seen anything like pickett co.

I don't have a problem with the losing three times, most of the time teams that end up winning state don't lose three times anyway. But it nice that some teams can because its fun to watch upsets. Humboldt beating Union City and Lake Co. getting beat by Peabody, those were nice upsets. It gives everyone a chance, even if they do have a bad night. I like region tournament the way it is. Listen they tried to change substate once and came up with the sectionals at central locations and everyone hated it and complained and they went back to the old format, just left the sectional name on it. I don't like the no classification style like Kentucky has, there is no way that a team of under 300 students could compete with AAA school with over a thousand students. Your AAA and D2 schools would win every year. Lets leave the classifications to give the small schools a chance. Pickett co., Clarkrange (girls), teams like this would go from being power house single A teams, to just another school. I know that in just across the boarder in Clinton Co. KY they're one of the better teams our boys played this year. But they have little chance to win state because they won't be able to compete with those huge schools are louisville and lexington. I think its a good format, I just think that the stretchin out of the tournaments this year and having guys and girls games on different nights is crazy.

icecold, you still gonna give us your pick today? I talked to someone who had been watching a couple of game tapes of CSAS. He said that he didn't see to many mismatches for Pickett co. Now he didn't say we would have a blow out on our hand or anything, but he said he thought we should win. I just hope for an atmosphere like the girls game I went and watched last night (Livingston Acad. and McMinn Central). If its anything like that, should be the best game. I hope alot of the upper cumberland comes out to watch, espcially since Pickett co. is the only team playing in the area.

In region 4A I didn't think the format was too bad. I happen to like the Tennessee format of being able to lose up to three times. I mean 75% of the time if a team is good enough to win state, they aren't going to lose once, if any. I think the Kentucky style is completely crazy with only having one class. I'm not sure how Indiana's format is. TSSAA is definately killing students with ticket prices, not only are prices extremely high, if your school as a great girls and boys program you get punished double. I think the TSSAA should come up with a district tournament pass and a region tournament pass, that way if your fortunate enough to have two programs that are good, or you just like watching your local district and region teams, you wouldn't have to spend close to a hundred dollars to watch all those games. I don't know like maybe knock 4 or 5 dollars off the total price for the whole tournament, that way people would see it worth buying one. It'll never happen, but its a thought.

Ah, I wouldn't say that, jacob is pretty good at breaking up the press.

We are cocky because we have never saw our team lose at home during the substate, their have been great teams come in here and walked out with a loss. The boys that are playing for us are cocky as well to an extent, but they have humility, they know if they don't play well that they will be the first team every to lose a substate game at home. It will be a good game. Listen, I promise....when/ if we get knocked off the mountain top, then we'll stop being so cocky.
