  1. Redbird fan thanks for a great post especially the part about kids reading these post. It seems that just about everyone on here was rooting against Central and really gave the Lady Rebels no respect. I understand if u think Larue threw the game but thats just peoples opinion and everyone has one but for some people to say that Central got what they deserved or that was karma is taking away from everything the girls has worked hard for all year long. I feel if you dont have anything nice to say especially when it comes to kids and if they are hurt or not or if they cussed the coach or not when you dont know for sure you just should say nothing. These ladies worked as hard as the other teams and had a great season when nothing to be ashamed of. To go into a gym and play as hard as they did against a great Westview team in gym that everyone was rooting against you except your home team and to keep their composure not only says alot for them but their coach. It had to be hard for them to see adults rush the court like it was a state championship game when they just lost a nail biter so as Reble fan I am very proud of our girls and the coaching staff for all they have done this year. I wish continued success to the seniors in the future cause these girls are not only great athletes but also good kids off the floor and in the classroom. Good Luck to the Lady Pioneers and Lady Chargers they both are outstanding ball clubs that I am sure will represent our district well in the next couple of games and I am pretty sure in the State tourney! Again I am proud of the Lady Rebels and proud to be a Lady Rebel and Rebel fan!
  2. ReitzFan I was at the consilation game that Obion played in and you are wrong on Fussell not having her boot on she had it on the whole game and had worn it for most of the year when not playing cause of the ankle sprain. Like I said before her ankle was swollen badly and she could of played the Haywood game but if she did and hurt her ankle worse than it was then she would have been lost for the regional game. You stated she was able to play in the game which was prolly true but not at 100% plus to my understanding from the paper it was her doctor who told her to sit not LaRue. At the regional game she did come out of the game once maybe twice and you are right did "flop" as you stated but she was fouled on that play and I assure is not the only player in ball that has tried to "hollywood" it up now and again. I hope that LaRue didnt throw the game and based on his track record I dont think he did, we can give our opinion but when it comes down to it we really dont know so no sense beating a dead horse. On the Pate issue her punishment was she had to sit out the whole district tournament to my knowledge the incident took place on a Tuesday 2days bfore the girls played their 1st game but I could be wrong on that. Her punishment was always sit the districts out and if they made it to the regions she could play then. Pate is a good kid whos a great student and never been in any trouble before and thats why I think she wasnt kicked off the team. Is it wrong what she said yes. Do I personally know exactly what was said and the circumstances revolving around it NO so its between her the coaches and her parents which I am sure they have handled it and moved on and so should we. Like Purple said shes a kid who made a mistake and said something in the heat of the momment which I am sure we all have so as long as her and the coaches have moved on that should be enough for us.
  3. I am not sure of the cussing of the coach I know that player that had to sit the districts was because of what was said to the assistant coach during a practice. Was it right what she said no but she was punished for it so no use dwelling on it. As for the Fussell injury her foot was swollen as big as a softball and tonights game still had swelling had she played the Haywood game there would have been no way she could of played tonight so the decision to sit her was a good one for her and the team. I am with the next person I dont agree with a coach throwing the game but no one knows for sure if he did and Coach LaRue is a great coach with a great track record and I dont believe he would put his team in that situation. Those girls are competitors who have fought hard all yr long just as all the other teams have so I have a hard time believing that but what do i know I am just a fan. From what I have read on here the last couple of nights I dont know why everyone is spending so much time worrying about what may or may not have been a thrown game or whether Fussell was really injured, because it seems no one thinks Central is capable of beating Westview or Gibson.
  4. man i couldn't imagine...i know this post is about Greer but wow! the woulda coulda shouldas of Obion Central. If this team was actually that they woulda been something to contend with.You add the King kid who quit and WOW! I think they would have pushed for state easy. Just proves that OC still has talent, thing is they don't always play there /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />
  5. Yes Greer's father Mike, who is now the coach at West Carrol replaced the famed Jimmy Whitby at Obion Central in the early part of the decade. He coached three or four years before non-performance pushed him out. Thomas actually is a product of the Obion County system. He played junior high ball at Hillcrest with soon-to-be Senior OC standout Nick Gilliam. Could you imagine Thomas still being in the county at Central playing alongside Gilliam. Those two would be unstoppable!
  6. I agree that the slam dunk contest might not be all its cracked up to be because none of these kids are able to be the flashy type dunkers or the 6'7 power-jam type you expect in a contest of this nature. It should be interesting nonetheless however. The three-point contest should be more interesting with kids that can flat light it up from behind the arc. There should be plenty of participants in that contest if certain players make the team. I struggle to make a team out from this list of players simply because I'm confused on if all Jackson teams are on the South team or just certain ones below the I-40 line. Also, it depends on whether or not the coaches want to equally represent thier regions and limit the number of players from one team or go with their gut. And for clarification, the teams won't be announced for a couple weeks? Because when the coaches were first announced here on CoachT I thought that that meant this week, my apologies for misinterpreting the matter.
  7. yankee, any luck on your roster inquiries for this game?
  8. yankee, was it you that said you would have the goods on the rosters? I cant exactly remember but I would love to know them if you do know.
  9. well i would love to know so i can start making plans to go and watch these kids come together one last time. the girls and boys games should both be extremely exciting, as well as the dunk and 3 contest. just wish we could get a roster or two to see just how much excitement we can expect.
  10. to get this back to the post it was orginally set up to be...aren't they announcing these teams today?
  11. again? this kid has quit the program twice if I'm not mistaken, if I was a member of that team I wouldn't have it, 6'6 or not.
  12. you would tend to believe that your almighty Dyer County logic would tell you that condicending, sarcastic remarks like this are what keep people riled up about your fanbase. When in reality, its not the fanbase, its simply fans like you and your arrogance that bring bad reputations onto other people. But far be it from me to pass any sort of judgment upon you because we all know just how holy-er (not clue on the spelling) than thou you are. Please, your worse than my pre-teen daughter!
  13. Hopefully your not implying that it was racist one, because I saw nothing of the sort in that comment.
