Congratulations to the Cw Redhawks on District championship and District tournament championship.
Played great basketball all year.Congrats also to coach Taylor on an outstanding coaching job,and getting coach of the year.Also congrats must go out to Greenbrier Bobcats on winning 9aa championship.I must also send out congrats to Perry county for winning 12a championship.Both of these teams are very good.Oh by the way Creek Wood beat both of these teams twice each, all wins by double digits.I believe (the great) Sycamore is in Greenbriers district and they lost to Gb 2 out of 3.So thanks to these teams for winning or CW would not have beaten anyone good all year.
-
I agree about Central being the team to beat next year. They have the most experienced players returning, and the post season success they are having should make them stronger next year. Creek Wood will probably be better tha most people think because they do have some good players that dont get much playing time but like ruger said they practice every day against Dotson and Hyndman. However I dont think Clements could score 20 in a game of 36 against anyone.
Clemlawn,I agree with you most of the time but you are dead wrong about Clements.He has had some
really big scoring nights this year.He will only get better.He will most likely Lead CW in scoring
next year.Dont be a hater

Creek Wood will be strong again next year.They are losing a lot but they also have
some really good young players with size.. These guys have went against Hyndman
and Dotson all year in practice and have improved a lot.Their guard play will probably
be their biggest strength with Clements and Bybee returning.Both of these guys can
get 20 a night.District will be very competitive next year but until then keep on
rolling Redhawks.Its been a great season no matter what happens from this point on.

well while we have some down time in the district due to snow, which players will be in the first and second all district teams?
First team:
Kyle Herndon-Camden
Vincent Dotson-CW
Aaron Hyndman-CW
Justin Vogel-Waverly
Trevor Moore-MC
Second Team:
Justin Weed-Camden
Austin Clements-CW
Coty Crow - CW
Drew Smart-Cheatham
Dantario Dansby- Harpeth
Some of these players could be swapped to either team...really some evenly talented players.Left some
really good players off.My honorable mention group would be.
Crowe-Harpeth
Craig-Stewart
Smith-Waverly
Deason-CW
Centrals big post-cant think of his name
Co-Mvp- Hyndman/Dotson- Be hard to give award to a player on a team with losing record.

That doesn't surprise me at all clemlawn. Coach Taylor has always represented Creek Wood with class and the tribute they've given to a fallen teammate the last 3 years has not gone unnoticed. I want to say here too that I've enjoyed Aaron Hyndman's basketball career. He's a classy young man that I've noticed not only at Creek Wood games, but he was there to support Harpeth last year in their sectional game at David Lipscomb and is a great ambassador for our district. Thanks Aaron!
Good luck next week everybody!
Thanks KS..Things like last night at CW really puts things in
perspective.Chase will always be remembered here at CW.He
was a great kid..Also thanks for the reflection on Hyndman.This
means a lot coming from a True Harpeth supporter..We must
remember these players are just kids, it doesnt matter where they
are from..things written on here can really be hurtful to these
kids..So lets keep our passion for our teams and try not be to
derogatory towards any kid. Thanks
-
Harpeth has made a good push of late in district. Can they possibly
step up and grab the two seed. They are playing really well right now.
They will continue to get better...Could make some late noise
-
Dang! Another 20 minutes of my life I'll never get back.
For all the smack talk and 'my favorite player is better than your favorite player', I think howdoitknow hit the nail on the head. Creekwood isn't getting much competition from the rest of the district and Cheatham (so far), hasn't been very competitive. The matchups in the middle have been pretty exciting to watch, but it doesn't bode well for anyone in our district when the talent level is where it is. Thankfully, we're not going west in regions anymore and can probably compete in the southern middle Tennessee region.................and that's not going to bode very well for the region champion in substate.
We are no where near where we need to be as a district heading into the stretch run. "Merely missing shots" isn't going to cut it.
You are right KS. district is way down and this can only hurt our teams as we go forward. we
need to work harder as a whole because competition breeds excellence.Alot of really good coaching
in this district,but lower level basketball needs to improve.We just have to work harder as coaches
and players.

Well all of you CW supporters need to get a grip. If you read my post I said CW had a very good team and said that Hyndman was a very good player. But I stand by what I say with the attitude. I'm not the only one who feels that way. I heard and talked to a lot of people after the game who said the very same thing. I'm sure he is a very good kid, but on the court he needs to listen to his coach when being talked to and not walk away grinning like he knows everything about basketball. Coach Taylor is a fantastic coach and I think he would benefit greatly when he is trying to teach him things. I could care less who wins MVP but I've seen all the teams in the district and my opinion is that Vogel is by far the best player in the district. He's a very good kid too. And yes he did great at Cheatham but he has done great against most teams we play. Sorry if I ruffled feathers but just making an observation. Congratulations to Creek Wood and good luck to them in the future.
Oh by the way, when Waverly surrounded Hyndman under basket is because Waverly was having to guard him with players 5-6 inches shorter. When Smith was in, he guarded him one on one. Also, Vogel guarded him some one on one and Vogel is at least 4 inches shorter. Arguing won't settle things, I'm sure that Hyndman is a great kid, just wish he would listen to his coach.
Im not sure how tall your big man is but I believe he is actually taller than Hyndman.Not 6
inches shorter. Once again facts are wrong.Seeing a trend here.I will say this ,I guarantee you
CW coaches would love for Waverly to play Hyndman man to man all night.It wouldnt be
pretty for Waverly.Why didnt Wav. swap who was guarding Hyndman...He was killing yall all
night.Scoring and rebounding.Put your big guy on him...lets see what happens..You know
so much about Wav. basketball see if you can arrange that with coach Rawlins.Vogel is a
very good player and seems to be a good kid so lets leave the character attacks out
of this.Good luck to Vogel And Wav...They are a well coached team..They play the game
the right way as does CW.If Vogel wins MVP he will be very deserving.If Hyndman does it will be the same. CW has much higher goals than an individual awards. They really mean nothing to
this team.
18 pts. is really good, but not killing anyone. Our post is about same height but he wasn't in all night. When he was, he guarded him one on one. The other times they doubled him with kids 5-6 inches shorter. Where you at the game?
Yea I was at the game,I obviously had a better seat than you because all of your little
assumptions are way wrong.The Wav.big man never guarded Hyndman all night. The only
time Vogel guarded Him was in a transition situation.We are not a one man team so 18 points is a really good night for a CW player.Also Hyndman probably had 15 rebounds.There are other ways to dominate a game other than scoring.Its not CW fault your big man wasnt in the game. He wasnt in foul trouble so where was he.As I said in my previous post,see if you can get coach Rawlins to guard Hyndman or Dotson one on one all night.If you can arrange that Im sure CW coaches would appreciate it tremendously.So in closing, I was at the game and if CW And wav.are fortunate enough to meet
again this year i will be there.Cant wait.Hyndman plays with emotion and fire.Thats the way hes been
coached,thats not going to change.Basketball is an emotional sport,the players are not robots.Hyndman
does not disrespect his coaches and never has.Im not a Wav hater,actually like there kids.So good luck
to yall.

CW is the best team in the district and did win tonight over Waverly by 14-16 but it was a tight game all the way. In fact Waverly only down by 2 late in the third qtr. Their posts are good but not great. The difference tonight was Coach Taylor having someone following Justin Vogel everywhere he went. His defender never left him but he still managed 16 pts. Vogel hands down is the MVP of the District. If I were Coach Taylor I would do an attitude adjustment on Hyndman. Coach Taylor would give him advice and he would just grin and walk off. Hyndman is good but not great. He shoots well on the inside but has no outside game. A really good post would eat him for lunch. All this talk about him being MVP is exagerated. He is not close to being an MVP other than in his eyes it seems.
You have lost your mind papatiger. Anyone at that game tonight could see
Hyndman was best player on floor. He had 18,while being guarded by the entire
Wav. team. At least 3 Wav. players on him all night. I believe he hit two outside jumpers
on yall. I didnt see Vogel posting up.Does that mean he has no inside game. As for
getting him against a good post,he has played against many good post and more
than held his own. As for his attitude he has a great attitude. Has never given Coach Taylor
any trouble. As for Vogels attitude,He wouldnt even shake CW players hands when
he went through the line. Terrible sportsmanship. Hyndman probably gets about 12 shots
a night. Vogel takes probably 25 to 30. Padded his numbers against Cheatham
when they were up 35. Hyndman has double digit rebounds every night.Vogel
might have had two tonight.Vogel is a good player but needs to realize there
are other things besides shooting...... So the next time you are going to call
another player out for attitude,start with your own team.Espically when the
player your calling out has no attitude. Plays with alot of fire,nothing more.
-
CW has a chance to be really good. There guard play has been outstanding the last
mont or so. In fact it probably is a strength. Austin Clements(junior)has been raining
threes on everyone.He has really taken his game to next level. Coty Crow is passing the ball
like Steve Nash. Playing great. CW has three players coming off the bench that would
start for any other team in district. I havent even mentioned the two best players in
district(Hyndman,Dotson),they can dominate game from many perspectives. Both are
great rebounders.Both can get 18 to 20 at any time. And unlike a lot of great players
they play hard even when they dont get a lot of touches. They dont pout and complain,
they just continue to work.Dist. is down but not CW.Easily best team in Cw short history.
Coaches will continue to push these guys. Really fun to watch this bunch.Coaching
staff has done great job with this bunch.
Last nights game against Harpeth was awesome. The intensity the Cw bunch played
with was incredible.
-
thank you ksgovols. finally someone is making sense and being completely sensible! The Harpeth Camden game was indeed a 32 min beat down. With that kind of play Harpeth can beat anyone in the district.
Speaking of 32 min.beat downs Creek Wood put one on Harpeth tonight.Won by 30, played
mostly Jv the last quarter. Could have been 40 or 50 but CW Called off the dogs.Looks like
Harpeth better get more of "that kind of play" if they are going to beat CW.If Cw had left their
starters in Harpeth may not have gotten to 25.CW defense is amazing..

the waverly tigers defeated the montgomery central indians last night in overtime 71-67. the indians were leading by @ least 16 last night in the 3rd. the tigers came back and took a 6 point lead in the late 4th, montgomery tied it with 4.6 seconds left, and then justin vogel took over!!! he had 8 points in overtime, 33 overall. Kudos to #23 from central last night he is by far the best player in the district, that is close to vogel, I can't wait to watch him again !!! good luck to everyone!!!!
Glad yall saw a good game but I have to disagree with your last statement.. The two post (Hyndman and Dotson)from Creek Wood are the best two players in the district.There isnt a close second
to either of these players.I guess CW has dominated the district the past two years with
smoke and mirrors.Nothing against the players you mentioned but just not in same class as the two
CW players.If CW only had only Hyndman he would average 25 a night.. If they only had Dotson
he would average 25..Both are easily the best two rebounders in district. Both pass the ball
well for big men. Both block shots. If you put either of these players on any other team they
would instantly become district favorite along with CW since CW would still have the other one..
You can not do that with any other player(s)in the district..
-
CW travels to Camden tonight..whats the predictions for this one??
Who else is playing in the district tonight??
Camden wins cause of home court advan....Big win for Harpeth last night,
great second half.
-
Is Harpeth/Cheatham still on tonight. Who wins this one...I think Harpeth
in a blowout. Cheatham still not there yet.. May go winless in dist. again
-
You are right conman.. Cheatham is very young and inexperienced,there is no way
that they can beat a very experienced CW team. Cheatham is definately getting better
and should be competitive in the near future. But as of now they could play CW 100 times
and probably lose 100 times. CW is that much better. It wouldnt have mattered what the
coaches might have done, they would have still lost.CW is better at every position.
-
Last night went pretty much as expected..Big win for MC against Harpeth. The big
shocker to me was the beat down Waverly gave Stewart. Thought Stewart was
much better than that..CW was a little out of sync early because of not playing
for 2 weeks. Got going a little after first qtr.
-
Not real up to date on Harpeth Basketball but noticed they are still
winless.Does anyone know whats happened to Harpeth.I know they
lost Carruthers but still didnt expect this much of a drop-off. Sycamore
may have took their hearts with two early blowouts.They still should beat
Cheatham.Does anybody know if Horkins quit?
-
C.W should kill Cheatham by at least 30. Harpeth could get their first
win of the year. Stewart will pull out a close game with Waverly.District
is really down with the exception of CW.CW is loaded and their guard play
is greatly improved.Good luck to all....

Clownshoes does not reflect the views of anyone from this area,so please disregard anything else this idiot post.GC is a young team with a bright future.They handled themselves in a very mature way throughout the entire game.That is hard to do when your not playing your best and the other team is playing really well.That says alot about the coaching staff for GC.Keep up the good disciplined work and the rest will take care of itself.Hope you all found Cw to be a good host and hope you all found some good restaurants in the area.
