You've got to be joking about their "coach" staying at home. I've figured out something about you Ranger "fans". You're either a hero or a zero on the creek. You lose a crucial game and bam, it's the coaches fault. Heaven forbid that perhaps the team didn't play up to their potential. Oh no, that couldn't be so. It has to be the coaches fault. Yeah, let's blame him. It's so much easier to put the blame on him than to accept the fact that maybe your little betty or susie didn't have the winning game she should have. I don't have a girl that plays nor have i ever had a girl that plays but you'll never find a more talented coach than Chambers.But I almost forgot, the lynching mob is gathering and the tar and feathers await coach chambers. Obviously, it doesn't matter that he is a winning coach. Apparently theirs someone out there who thinks they could do a better job. You people get on here and are ready to crucify him over this loss. You quickly forget what he's taught your children, on and off the court. If you don't like his "bed-side manner" so what, coaching isn't a personality contest. How many of you people have told him what a great job he's done this year as well as the previous years? I could probably count on one hand. Shame on you!!!! So if you want to send him packing, well I say have at it. I'm sure that if Coach Ken becomes available, it won't be for long. Because you see, other schools would snatch him up in a second. Now that would be poetic justice. But that's just my opinion. I'm a Coach Chambers fan now and always will be. So go ahead and blast me, that's the joy of free speech.

Whether you want to admit it or not, there was another Rusty on the previous Ranger team. You may not like him and I'm sure he doesn't lose sleep over it but if you were a TRUE Ranger fan, you have to admit he was good. But obviously your one of those that think that one person has won every game for Unaka this year. Get over your animosity toward Rusty, if people want to remember him, them let them. And from your previous post, yeah McCann did get the MVP last year and everyone on the team was proud of him, including Rusty. Russ will be the first to tell you that Tyler had a better tournament than he did. But ya know, Rusty never was a ME man, it was all done for the team. Can you say that about YOUR MAN?

Storm, I see that you've been brushing up on your vocabulary. That's really a big improvement over some of your other posts.

I didn't start the rumor. The issue has been skirted since she was dismissed, and that rumor started at the school. I'm sure that where ever Les goes she'll be well received. I only hope that the reason for her dismissal was a legitimate one and not just someone holding a grudge. You know, if every teacher or coach was fired for "mistakes" they've made then Hampton Elem. and the High School both would be short a few educators.

word through the grapevine (and this is only hear-say) that Coach Oliver may have had a hand in the dismissal of Leslie. And I'll say it again, this is only whats going through the grapevine. Something about playing time for his daughter and so forth.

i don't follow hampton basketball but I'm curious to know which coach oliver are you talking about? Tell me it isn't Kelly Oliver?????

Storm55, don't tell me you guys are getting married anytime soon?

Creeker, Can't wait to sit on the front row and laugh as the "mighty" warriors get their butt kicked. I'm for ANYONE who beats the Warriors. And please, clarify the "rusty balls" comment?????

Storm... You might want to get an agent and copyright that little jingle. Good fiction/comedy writers are hard to find..

You're right on the money 3d...Obviously, there's several people out there who think the same thing we do. You know, you're absolutely right about the chambers kid. He wasn't a superstar but he sure could play ball. No flash, no dazzle (well maybe a few behind the back passes), but just good old fashioned basketball. He did have a knack for seeing the open players on the floor and getting them the ball. He wasn't concerned with MVP or how may have I scored but what can I do to help win this game. Mr. Tyler had better wake up and smell the coffee this year. YOU ARE NOT A ONE MAN SHOW.

He's going to LMU and I agree, he is a good kid. Word has it that he really likes LMU and the coach. Basketball at that level is totally different than high school.

And if there's anyone on here that doesn't think that Tyler is any good, just as him, he'll be glad to tell you how good he is. hahahahahahahaha

Storm, you're basically an idiot. Just keep posting and CoachT will zap you into next week. This board is no place for morons like you. Sure we give each other a hard time over our own teams but don't make it personal. You should know that You don't mess with a mama bears cub!!!! Not only will she be after your hide but so will all the other mama bears.

Hey clipper, if Unakas not going, nobody really cares who IS going. I wouldn't waste my time or money watching those teams that Burns has in it this year. Same old same old every year. Boooooooring!!!

I agree with starman. They may not realize it now but they will surely miss chambers and collins down the road. McCann got a touch of the big head last year and now he thinks he's invinceable....NOT. Yeah I'll give him credit he's a good ballplayer, but he's not as good as he thinks he is. But as with other posts, Ensor is a good coach and he'll make sure his team takes care of business when it counts. The rangers don't need flash, they need substance. But more importantly, they need heart. I don't think that this team can even come close to having the heart that Chambers, Collins and Jones had. Rusty and Cody ate, slept and breathed basketball. I heard Coach Chambers, (the girls coach) telling someone something that Rusty told him in 8th grade. They had gone to the state tournament to see someone play and Rusty said the Rangers will win the state tournament my Senior year. He as well as the other Seniors had a dream and they followed through with it. I hope this years team is just as dedicated.
