Jim Fey- East Literature Having a great year 14-3 when only a few years ago they were not near that good.

You are also mistaken bballfan9009. I am a DCA supporter and even have younger grandkids in the school. I liked Welch as a basketball player. I think that this should only be about predictions and scouting rather than attacking some kid online. It is very childish of people to get on here and talk NEGATIVELY about a TEENager when most are grown men. I love seeing DCA playing well but it's not all on the fact that Welch is gone.

bballfan9009, you can't even recall what you are saying. Just earlier you posted, " Actually it is not only the parents sayng this it is some coaches as well." You just now said that coaches didn't have a problem with Welch but you said that they did earlier? I'm confused. Also I have been around DCA for years to watch games and last year I watched many of Welch. I watch being just a long time fan of the school. They were much younger and the league was tougher. DCA can bask in their success for right now and say that they are playing better but losing someone who not only led his team but also was second leading assist man. I'm happy with what DCA is doing they are playing well right now and it's fun to watch. Ripping Welch is the wrong thing to do on here, I don't see shooting %50 from two and %40 from three and only averaging around 17-18 is selfish. You are also wrong about kids quitting. I sat in the bleachers and watched it all unwind throughout the season. Whether it was Jones being "kicked off" the team at Davidson, Ewin leaving, and the tension between Kennedy and the coach, Welch never let it phase him. Selfish is the wrong word to describe this player. Please, watch some games and learn about basketball rather than just look at records and also make sure what you are saying matches up with what you said earlier because that weakens your entire case.

First off I'd like to say that DCA is doing well but it's not because Welch left. They are having a great year granted that the Region is weak this year. I saw many of Welch's games and loves how he plays the hardest when he is out there and actually cares. Think about it, Knox Webb lost their two best players (one a division one basketball player) and USN lost another division one Basketball player in Lyles. Last year Welch as only a sophmore led that team and won many clutch games when you could tell that others did not care to even be out there. DCA is drinking the koolaid thinking that they have come out better when truly, Welch hasn't even suited up for USN and when he does they will be a tough duo to compete with and the region is down this year. Seriously, if MJCA is in any discussion about winning games (well, riverside x2, curry ingram, pleasant view x2, Middle Tennessee Heat, which are equivalent to junior high teams) you know it's a bad year. I dont doubt for one second that the DCA coaches are talking about this because they are having a good year but if they had Welch they would be even better. He carried them through FRA, Knox Webb, USN, etc. he showed the most leadership on the team and he was only a sophmore. bballfan9009, you need to evaluate what you said and maybe go find yourself something better to do than bash high school kids on a website. You can drink the koolaid with all the DCA coaches but Welch is much better off at USN and will show that next year.
