Sorry Gov but 6' is not considered overwhelming height. Loads of girls are 6' or better.

I agree with you BBALL that the ONLY person who is going to get you a scholarship is yourself!! Others might help get a foot in the door but when all is said and done it comes down to one person. Sometimes it is being in the right place at the right time, being seen by the right people. But no matter what, you got to bring your game or watch from the sidelines.

Sounds like she is a great coach and I know she is getting a great bunch of girls. I wish them success!

Would that be D1 or D2 ? Big difference between the divisions.

IMO it was the lady ref that was terrible for the girls games. She didn't see anything on either side of the court and when she did it was way off the scale.

Thought Boone was going to pull the upset tonight against TH. Anyone with predictions of who will be in the championship game? SH vs DB perhaps? I'm not making any bets on this years finals as crazy as the season has been anything is possible. South had a few turnovers in the final few minutes that gave the Cougars the spark they needed last night. South will be losing some very fine young ladies to graduation who will be missed. Kim Johnson and Tyria Hutchins have had great careers for the lady rebels on the basketball court but also on the volleyball court. We wish you the best of luck in the future!

I would like to know the answers to these questions also crawdad!

I agree with you pancon. I think it was the best decision for you and with some good coaching I don't doubt she will be getting alot of playing time. Hang tough!

You all talk like South is the only team out there without a good coach. Fact is there are several in the Big 8 that could use a fresh face. The only teams that seem to have a coach that wants to win and knows how to win are TH, DB, and SH. They seem to pick a coach because he can coach and not just because thats all they got. The county schools are just that, county. They use what they got and try to make the best of it. Why do you think these kids keep leaving the county and go to the city schools. Have you ever looked around at the roster on the city schools and realized how many of those are really county kids. It is shocking! The county schools are fortunate to have coaches and sometimes you have to make due with what you have. I am sure for the most part all these coaches care about their players and perhaps they don't see the damage they are causing those athletes that want to go on to college. Parents need to look early on if they want their kids to just play ball or do they want that kid to play at the next level. If at the next level you need to pick your school wisely.

Congrats to the Lady Indians on your win over TH last night. I believe someone said they didn't see TH losing another game. Guess they wasn't expecting the tribe to roll. TH should look more to the shooting role of the Easterling girl.

All Conference 1st Team: DB- Devine SH- Reid SC- Kestner TH- Burleson SS- Campbell 2nd Team: DB- Gray TH- Mitchell SH- Hensley SC- Blizzard VH- Lindholm Coach of the year has to go to SH, he has done an outstanding job! Defense poy should go to Fletcher of South or Mitchell of TH. Tough toss between the two! Mitchell with the slight edge.

Way to go Rebels! Just goes to show you noone can let their guard down. There is no team in the Big 8 that can't be beat and the top four are pretty much even depending on which team shows up to play.

Maybe Science Hill was a little intimidated by the size of DB. After all they do look like giants compared to the rest of the conference. Most of the other teams are lucky to have one girl 6 foot but to have 3 that you can start. No way should they lose a game! Keep in mind there is a difference between freshman and say juniors as far as their level of play. Science Hill will be hard to handle next year.

Well put crawdad! These kids have little time to prove their worth on the court and for those wanting to continue playing on the next level they need the coaches to give their all right along with the players.

Wow! Big win for the Lady Rebels. They needed this win in a bad way. Not sure why DB had Julie on the bench but Gray and Devine usually do a great job inside. Julie has seemed to struggle a bit this year. I guess I was expecting alot more on the offensive side from her than we have seen so far. Glad South didn't wait till Districts to prove they are still in this thing! Go Lady Rebels.....
