Same could be said for UH - 8-20 two years ago to 28-5 this year and a shot a state tonight! I know all the teams and coaching staffs work really hard, but to see some "Cinderella"s" with a shot is pretty cool.

Cosby was the better team for the first 3 quarters, but never could stretch the lead. Last I heard the games play for 4 quarters and UH had enough gas in the tank...AS A TEAM...to close it out. Meredith is a special talent, but UH plays best when they work as a unit and the 4th quarter showed that! Both of these teams could be tough outs because thier is no quit in either

No love for any team from the East???

UH vs Cosby was a really good game. Some officiating question marks, but evenly called game. UH came up with the plays down the stretch. I have to give out some kudo's to the Cosby players and supporters - the kids were hard and tough, but never lost there cool. The supporters were great to watch and listen to with there football style cheers and the way they showed up in numbers...good for them! UH vs Harriman in JC...I have no idea what to expect.

It’s funny how everyone comes out of the woodwork to either defend or attack the school / team of the moment. UH hasn’t been relevant in years, but now that they are this year, everyone attacks/defends. ALL schools have had thier not so shining moments over the years, so to point out UH alone is a bit slanted. UH players have been the punching bag of Hampton, Cland and NG for the past few years and I don’t think those teams / parents like it on the other foot. GB was out of gas at the half. It called conditioning, maybe your next coach can look it up. GB was bigger at every spot and should have had a better plan, but...that’s why they play the games. After 30 games or so, your record is your record for a reason - good or bad. As for the “near brawl” last night in the stands. UH parents changed seats after heated exchange. GB gentleman was escorted out of gym by officer after the game. GB scorekeeper left scoring table and went into stands to chastise?? All?? Not sure about the rules on that? Looked like just some overheated parents in the first half while the game was still a game. Nothing settles everyone down like an early blowout in the 2cd half.

At least you can hang your hat on that until November.

I hope you all placed your bets!!!!

Nice GB pick.

You heard/read it here first: UH by 10 (70-60) close at the half, but UH too much. Unaka by 6 (55-49) Jellico makes it closer than it really was. Hancock County by 13 (58-45) NG just can't score enough to stay in it. Cosby by 22 (80-58) Over early and Cosby coast to win.

Who's not dangerous when they hit shots and limit turnovers???

Due to a couple of upsets (on paper) Jellico over Hancock and N. Greene over Hampton - tonight is very interesting for positioning. UH and NG will host Hancock and Greenback. Cosby and Jellico will host Unaka and Hampton. If you take the chalk route - UH vs Gback, NG vs Hancock, Cosby vs Unaka and Jellico vs Hampton. This potentially sets up very interesting games for the Regional Semi-Finals - UH vs Hampton and Cosby vs Hancock - obviously the teams know each other very well. Then we would have a very solid Regional Final with both teams advancing. I know there will be "upsets", just not sure of a dark horse making a run.

I don’t agree with “hard fought win”. UH won by 20 ish and ran away in the second half. UH did play well, but with the talent UH has, no game in district should be interesting. Trick is for them to just go out and play. not sure I would want UH on any floor.

Dueling Banjo's???

Has the District Tournament been moved? Is it really a coin flip if there is a tie for 1st?

Another Friday night and another good slate of games. Hamp @ Cland is the one to watch, IMO. I don't think Cland can recover from another home conference loss. UH on the road @ Sullivan North should be a W for UH, but who knows when you go on the road and then NG at Unaka - winner keeps it interesting for the conference title. UH has all their work in front of them with away games at the big 3 - too early to tell if they are legit. Hamp has the inside track if/when UH slips up NG laying in the weeds waiting... Unaka has overachieved so far, IMO Cland needs to wake up - NOW! before it really is too late. Sull North is going to wreck someones hopes, but that's all they can do. The next two weeks will be very interesting and I hope the teams bring their "A" games. Could be fun to watch.
