will do, Very professional comment, maybe you should be a politician. but i agree that if more parents would let their kids level of play determine playing time and less would try to earn it through the good graces of the coach then teams would be better. and it does happen everywhere. as for dawg. we have a point guard who will deliver double digits but i wouldnt' count on delivering the ball. godwin probly has more assist a game than our whole team. but that's our problem! for the comparison i'll leave you with a quote i heard from a college coach on tv. you can teach basketball, you can't teach size!!!

so i wonder if the devil is goin to have a response to this or has the cat got his tongue!

@ a clay co, hermitage springs game this year one of our post players got a rebound and was jus spinning around. and if you knew himyou would know that he'snot agressive and when he came arond his elbow were,i guess somewhat out, and they called a T on him. first of all it isat worst a offensive foul. second he wasn't tryin to hit anyone, and third he didn't hit anyone. it was a very horrible call. but all in all our team had around 15 T's this year alone so the refs have it out for them to begin with!!! Refs suck. almost all of them!!!

exactly, voted on by the coaches. so if your parent (s) have a good relationship with the coach(es) then you get a vote. it's all political in most cases so make good friends and you will go far. do you really think he's better than dustin rich?

how can anyone say there wasn't an answer for godwin. he only had 14 points and from what i have seen of him he isn't that much of a devastating player. he doesn't have enough impact to turn games around or anything like that. he's simply a pretty good role player and that's where it stops. end of story he's not a star and never will be on that team. no matter how hard devil tries to make him sound like one!

let celina have lots of transfers. but even if you don't realize it , it will cause trouble. when the guys who have been playin their hardest for the school for 4 or 5 years have to take a seat to someone who just walks in the door, believe me it won't go over well even if it does with the kids it won't with the parents. so devil if you stay away from rob edwards and your kids takes a seat to mr. tooley will you be happy? didn't think so!

I agree that they should go back to the two ref system. not only cuz there aren't enough good refs but when there are 3 they seem to rely on the others to call the game and noone ends up doing it. i was from a small school and the refs have always been horrible to us. in fact in a recent game against the clarkrange girls whom we didn't stand a chance our girls jumped out to a quick lead and actually looked like they were ready to play ball. well when the refs saw that the defending state champs were gettin beat by a no name school they started calling some of the worst calls i've seen in my life. they would have won anyway but at least keep the games honest. refs will never be completely impartial and won't always make everyone happy but they should at least call the game right. i think that the tssaa should have a ref complaint department so that if a single ref gets enough viable complaints ( possible bad calls proven on video ) that they should loose their license or at least get fined or some how be held accountable for their action!!!

hey if there are some good players loosing playing time it could happen. let em come! would you like to be more specific oneshot...

As much as i don't want to see consolidation, i would love to see smith and mclerran from hs go there next year also to definitly complete a state winning team. Cuz as dirty as some of the politics in hs basketball is they aren't goin to be sucessful there. but i have also talked to them and both say even with consolidation they wouldn't play for a celina team so i guess it will never happen and they will just have to hope for second in the district next year. (doubtful) ....... if anyone wants to join me in telling them they would be better off there go ahead i know they read this.

i'll have to take the young hs wildcats cuz they are haveing the best peewee season we have had in a while. plus i might be a little bias too! gl guys

i'm pretty sure those players aren't from 7A and i hope that some players from clay can throw it down next year. cuz with some of the blow outs they will be creating it will give the fans something to watch! and i really hope smith from hs has a chance next year he tried a couple this year with no success. but to his credit one was at the end of the game and the other off a missed layup. gl and hope to see some high flyin

On any given night @ home HS could pull off a win so i will have to take them by 6 if they can slow the ball down and take good shots. which is usually a problem! gl HS

1. Pickett, Clay, Clarkrange, RBS, Monterey-HS 2. Bailey/Meador 3. Bibb 4. Meador, Bailey, Walden, Hannahan, Smith 5. HS-RBS with a 3pt OT win 6. Walden 41 7. Clay, Pickett, HS, Jackson, Clarkrange, RBS, Monterey

i think the baller has some issues about pickett and can't open his eyes wide enough to see the whole picture. pickett is good but they play a fast paced game and when westmoreland slows the game down and plays defense, and takes only good shots then pickett will definitly lose if they aren't on a great shooting night. they just don't have the shot selection or defense that westmoreland has. i agree that bailey probly could beat anyone on the westmoreland team but he can't beat the whole team and westmoreland always plays as a team! it's a team game no matter who your players are!!!

Bailey isn't even close to d1 material. i have played with the players at tntech and they are alot bigger and stronger than him and that isnt' even a big school he just doesn't have the size or defensive skills and as for the best in mid state i would rather have rigsby from van buren on my team than bailey. if you haven't seem him play then you should. take bailey, make him not so cocky, add about 15 lbs of muscle, and slow him down a tid bit and you have a really good team player! i've only seen him play once but i was very impressed!
