I really think Union City will be the favorite by a wide margin this next year. When you return the top player in the district plus they have a loaded sophomore class headlined by another Weddle. He has a chance to be a special player. I got a glimpse of him when he was in eight grade and I could tell he has a ton of potential. Now I really think that Lake County is going to be a team that is going to greatly improve under a new, young and hungry coach. Lake County has more talent than anyone in the District outside of Union City. I like Halls with King but coach Jerrett is past his prime and it is showing in his teams performance against Humboldt in the district simi. Humboldt is a scrap team but lacks the star power they used to put on the court. I think that the district will be like this 1. Union City 2. Lake County 3. Humboldt 4. Halls 5. Gibson County 6. South Fulton 7. Bradford 8. Greenfield

Union City won and we were lucky to even be in the game if you ask me. I was surprised to say the least. Coach had a good game plan on how to slow Union City down by playing a 1-2-2 zone. If Channing would have just hit his free throws we would have won the game. And the shot that beat us was a impossible shot to hit. He was fading away from the basket when he made that shot. Great shot, union city won, and we have a moral victory by playing Union City the closes of any team they played in their undefeated season.

You're right.It would really make a lot of teams scared.And a lot of fans also.So scared that you'd have to have emercency personel on hand in case Whitby moved.! This has to be the most classless post I've ever witnessed. All that he has gone though and u say something like this like it's funny. I wish that u were coaching so that I could be in the stands booing u for not beating union city. And if ur wife died and close friends died,and mother died, and two starter got into trouble that u couldn't help. I would be as compassionless as you and call for ur job. I bet if u walked in his shoes u wouldn't even make it. Very classless post. I don't know who u are, u might even be a good guy, but this post makes me think that ur a jerk. Whitby made lake county respectable year in and year out. And ur saying that lake county won 25 games a year on talent alone.lol talent has always been here. What do u think that talent just got here when whitby arrived. Yes james avery made it to state 4 one ballgame at mtsu. U act like we won the state 4 or 5 times before whitby. I see no gold basketball in the thophy case. what was basketball like before Whitby, I tell u, empty gyms and 500 basketball seasons. Be thankful on how he built lc basketball. And if I was a good coach, I would even walk foot in lake county gym to coach basketball. After all the hassle u fan give I rather coach gleason or bradford, at least they happy winning. That all I got to say. I wish the players luck for next season because they deserve it, not the fans.

Barger was 9 and 22 in three seasons. LOL no wonder he coming back. He probably was on the hot seat anyway. And we hired an asst. girls coach to fill the boys basketball position that was let go after posting 25 victorys a season avg. Only losing to Trenton in the original single a district 3 times in 6 seasons. The other were to Humboldt and union city. Double a powers if I'm right. And the only single a team to beat Humboldt and union city out of the single a teams that reside in the single a district of 2003. Big shoes to fill if u ask me. We might be missing these days. I don't agree with getting rid of the man that buildt the lake county basketball program. I can see us turning into obion county west in two years. I hope it isn't true but I can see this happening. U never get rid of the person that builds ur program without having his pick of a successor to carry on his work after he left. Good luck

Me and chipper will be hanging out a lot more.

Bad hire. Mark it down he wont beat the big boys like union city and Humboldt in both sports. If this was the logic for getting coach witby out then I will change my school of choice. Don't like it at all.

If Lake Co were wanting a Bradford coach..I believe it would be Larry Eddings if he would be interested..With that being said ..and with the rumours and just sources..I still havent been able to actually confirm that Coach Whitby is for sure gone..I had a 99 percent declaration..So there's still that 1 percent..lol..I called a school board member that's a buddy and was suppose to call me back but didn't..So..officially I haven't heard for sure..! They would really like to have Glisson as there head coach. Everyone I've talk to talks highly of Coach Glisson. I know that he has done a great job bring the Bradford program to respectability. I endorse Coach Glisson for future coach if that is true. But I would just like to hear the candidates. And some that been brought up, lets say I'm not totally on the bandwagon. But I really have hopes that Glisson will be a candidate.

John Glisson would be a really good hire for Lake County.

Lake County before the uc game that year lost its best post player in 6'5 Justin Clay. I mean if lake county had him the whole year things could have went different. It is what it is though. If uc would have beat lc when uc had those players suspended lc probley would have gone to state that year. Lake couny would have been the number 2 seed in the tournment and would likely met union city in the district championship that year. Ohh well what could have been.

Marquis Weddle needs to be in this conversation. The all time leader in points scored at union city. I remember that he scored over 40 points against haywood team that had vernardo and ricky taylor at haywood.

AAaaA[q uote=mrbigster]know bradford is not very good but they are definitely the most improved team in the district.. Glisson is doing a great job.. I could also see trenton surprising people in the tournament. I think uc will end up winning the district tournament because in my opinion they are a much more discipline team than lc or humboldt. If Swift and Cody Taylor are both playing..I like Lake Co...If Swift is not playing then Lake Co still has a good shot..Just that Cody will start and play more minutes..And Lake Co won't have extra fouls to give..will miss Swift around the basket on the offensive end and putting in stick backs..I'd rather this team play Union City..Union City has the kind of team that can win with their shooters but I believe Lake Co guards know who their best shooters are now and can come out and with Swift and Taylor in the lineup,Union City had to change a lot of shots the last game and couldn't come inside at all..Lake Co killed them on the boards..If Lake Co can get by Humboldt..I like Lake Co over Union City..Lake Co came froam aboutK 12 down last time and actually took a 10 point lead..And even though the game went to overtime..still won by 9..That shows what Lake Co is capable of doing in a small amout of time..if they play like they are capable.! I've heard that Swift was sent to the detention center. That is the rumor going around. I will know more info about this ru/mor as the day goes along. But for the present time let's hope that its a rumor and that it. I know that the big 3 have some distraction along the way in previous seasons. No different here were just hoping for the best for the team that we root for.

Funny how this board changes so quickly.lol Volfan ur right! Go Coach Whitby and the falcons! Lake County played well on both ends of the floor last night. Union City is a very dangerous team. They played very hard all game long. It was rebounding that killed UC in this one. Derick Swift is a major factor cleaning up the glass. He had over 20 boards last night to go along with his 20 points. Good win for the Falcons. Keep it up LC! BTW....Congrats goes out to the true Greenfield fans that are Volfan007 and Greenfield. Great win last night for yall. Good luck on the rest of yall season unless yall are playin us. lol. GL Greenfield.

There is no reason why Manassas should not be in the top ten! But Legend don't let it worry you! In a couple of it will be show time! The contenders will stay and pretenders will go home! To me rankings is just a number! yea I no but what it all boils down to is kids being treated unfairly. this just show that the voters are bias or they just dont no what they are doing!!! lol!!! Any AP Voters on this board I would like to no whats up with Manassas boys & girls AP rankings. Manassas girls are 17-3 with two of the loses coming to top ranked teams!!! whats the deal voters??? Polls don't matter Legend. I thought u already knew that.

Mrbigster looks that nobody cares about BB this year! The day of the game and just now posting a thread! Sisco will come right out of the shoot and press Humboldt! The last time they played Humboldt had trouble with press! Wouldn't surprise me to see Sisco do it again! If Humboldt wins this game it will be because of the athletes they put on the floor! We both know they will be out coached! Well maybe Boykin will get another phone call but maybe it will be earlier in the game!! Yea..It's a shame..Still two fine teams and both have a great chance to bring home the Gold ball if they play well..No dominate team this year from the looks of things..Should be a good game..!Last years and in years past..all kinds of posters from Humboldt and especially Union City..And I've been carrying the torch for both Lake Co teams thism year..Occasionally 007 chimes in and also Spellerone and finally yesterday Chis..Gusee everyone is just too busy...But somehow I believe if we were all 18-0..17-1...16-3 and ranked 1,2 and 3 in the state..would be a lot more posting..But still..Humboldt is ranked number 1..Union City 7th and Lake Co 9th..That's not too bad..I'm still excited..! 007 is still here! I know ya'll miss my post!lol But any who i'm here now. I think that Union City will win this contest and set up a date with Lake County and Humboldt in the second round of the district. And thanks to Dumbar we will be fired up after his comments that he made in the Jackson Sun. I want Humboldt 007 wants revenge on Humboldt. And I believe we will get it.

I got to see Lausanne in Carbondale i think. They have a guard that is very good.
