I think They are 9-4a but could be wrong

The WC job is going to be a tough one to fill.. hard nose dive last year and it was evident the coach had no clue what she was actually doing. Some decent talent on the roster but the local politics and the fan base are unrealistic. Also hearing a couple of players have considered moving into other school systems. Might be a long long rebuild and someone will have to be in it for the long run

White Co has consistently had one of the best rosters in the state regardless of class, it’s a shame that the staff has failed to capitalize year after year. The squad they had this year was legit, and they had plenty of kids to rotate in. No way they shouldn’t have been stacking chips..

Finally got a chance to see the Warren girls play last night, and had heard about all of the drama in the program with the new coach, and boy is she out of her element. No adjustments, no strategy and let Dekalb hit 10 or 12 threes before pulling out of a 2-3 zone. After switching to man it didn’t get much better.. complete breakdown in fundamentals and it starts at the top. I’ve never seen anything quite like it, she probably played 12 kids last night for spurts, killing momentum multiple times. At one point she subbed out her big who had 7 straight points, and subbed her back in way later killing her rhythm. She did this multiple times, after kids would hit a big shot or be in a groove they would sit. There is no offensive scheme that I seen, they just recklessly drive up the court and outside of a couple players, they seem completely lost on offense and defense. They will be lucky to win 5 games this year and that’s being generous. Also heard the director of schools is intervening due to the enormous amount of complaints coming in from the players and their families. Couple that with the suspicious dismissal of the Winfree girl, I dont see how Stotts makes it out of her first year as a high school coach. Hard to believe that a 20+ win team can fall this far in a matter of months. They lost a lot of kids last year, but had decent talent this year coming back and from the feeder schools. I know the hiring of Stotts also was shrouded in drama.. Warren messed this one up like they always seem to do.

Anyone got an update? nevermind- the southern standard just announced Mendy Stotts as the new WC girls coach

I dont disagree, I’ve watched her Middle School team over the past couple of years and they are always competitive even in losses. That, and most of the players that will be left will be a lot of the kids she’s had in her tenure. I think that WC is a little gunshy due to the success of coaches transitioning from MS to HS there have been iffy.. Sullens did well, Panter did not. It goes back further than that, those are just the two that stick out. The bigger concern imo is the timing, most programs have set tryouts, camps, practice schedules etc and this is going to put this team significantly behind if they don’t get a move on. This hire should have been made 2 months ago when the writing was on the wall. Everyone that watched them play knows that Lippe had no intentions in coming back based on his lack of development of the younger group.. he rode out the talent that was there to make him look good and knew that there would be a major step back this next year and his ego most likely couldn’t support that kinda blow. Just my 2 cents

If you’re referring to me you have me confused with someone else.. I have no affiliation with WC, the program or their travel program (they don’t play AAU, they play travel there is a major difference). I got the “scoop” about Lippe from social media, particularly the local media outlets confirmed that an announcement about Lippe would be made at some point in the future and the speculation is that he is taking the AD role since the current AD is moving into another role to backfill another position. I’m simply a fan who has enjoyed watching the team grow, and has a vested interest in watching them continue to improve. I am not, and have never been a coach so I have no clue who most of the names are that have been named are, outside of a few local folks like Slatton and Stotts. So when names are dropped, I search them on here and google to find out who they are. I have, however, known Mr. Hobbs for a very long time and I am confident that he will do what is right for the program, so if that means he continues his search to find the best potential candidate for the job. At the end of the day, he is proud of his community and wants to do his part to make the community proud.

What’s this guys background? Is he the one that was at cannon a few years back and at Smyrna as well?

Where are you seeing the principal post? I have searched and haven’t seen anything.

Still not been filled from what I’ve heard. McMurtry has applied and I would imagine he’s the front runner for the job. As far as what Lippe managed to accomplish, he took over a team that had no JV team, no freshman team and went from 2 wins to 20* 2 years in a row.. I’ll say the girls he had were mostly responsible for the success, and the girls remaining have a long road ahead of them. They are returning 1 starter and 2 others with varsity experience.. he didn’t trust anyone outside of the starting 5 and it was evident in the development of the younger kids. There is some decent talent coming up but WCs county school setup is challenging and it will take those kids a season or more to jive. They will be very young this year, but they have some decent size and talent retuning so the right coach can build around them.

Hearing this AM that Anthony Lippe was promoted to the AD position in WC.. had a great run for the 4 years he was there and definitely left the job better than it was when he got it. No news of a potential replacement, not a lot of coaching talent within the county my guess is someone comes from outside. Maybe they hit a home run like they did for the boys job last year?

100% agree on why the team has improved.. they have consistently worked to get better through practice, private sessions/group sessions with Legacy.. if you follow him on socials the girls from WC are constantly working to get better. The scary part about them is they are young, only 3 or 4 seniors on the team so they will continue to improve. It’s been fun watching area basketball and see this team improve.

After watching the past few games for White, they could slip lower than 2nd. They have a lot of talent that doesn’t always play well together.

Coach G really has her girls firing on all cylinders right now. This team is athletic, talented and hungry. This team has depth and great coaching, they could easily make a deep run into state this year. I’ve watched a lot of these kids through the local AAU programs and they have continued to grow every time I have watched them play. Exciting things happening in the UC!

Warren has played very well in December and into the new year… they went 3-0 in Tampa and won their bracket with little effort. I think WC can beat Coffee in one of the matchups this year if they continue to play the way they have. WC’s biggest weakness is Coffee’s strength this year so if they can figure out that piece they can hang. I did hear from a trainer that works out a lot of the WC girls that the talented freshman post for WC is expecting to make a full return this week, she has been hampered by an ankle issue stemming from back in AAU that has kept her on the sidelines for much of the season and has only played in small spurts as she continues to rehab. Regardless I think WC finishes this season in second, and at best is 1-2 against CC.
