Ok first of all cloudland got to state by beating the teams that had beaten them all season during the tournaments! These boys have more heart and will than any team more desire than anyone will ever know. After their start during the regular season they could have laid down and gave up, but they didn't. They had the mental toughness to pull through and beat teams that had already beat them. I was at the game wednesday and uc is one heck of a ball club I have even seen humboldt team and these two teams in west are clearly no competition for the east. Marquis is no less than amazing and I have never seen a press that quick and fluent in my life. Uc has some great talent and something to look forward to in MJ as a sophomore. But everyone needs to quit bashing the landers and let it go. Did we come out ready to play? NO but we got their! Where is Hampton, UH, and Unaka this week? AT HOME! None of those three teams could have competed with uc any better than the landers! So did the right representavive go absolutely! Those teams in our region or conference have absolutely nothing that we don't have. Are we an under .500 team, yes and that makes it just that much more satisfying bc we made it to state with that record. We are so proud of those boys and everyone here in Rn. Mtn. sure would appreciate everyone quit bashing us for what we have accomplished!!! This trip was also the first appearance back to state for basketball in 40 yrs so I guess you could say it was a little overwhelming! GO LANDERS & GOOD LUCK TO MARQUIS ON MR.BBALL AND UC!!!
