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.

Purple,

How crazy would it be to see two Sisco's and a Whitby on the same bench? I think you are absolutely right to say that not many teams would want to face that scenario

 

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

Dawn Barger was announced as the new Lake Co High School boys basketball coach and her husband will once again be the football coach..Congrats to both Bargers.!

Me and chipper will be hanging out a lot more.

It was announced this afternoon at LCHS. Coach Barger to return as FB coach, other Coach Barger is Head boys BB. Way to go LC Officials. You got this one right.

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.

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

 

 

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 wasn't playing without 4 starters in any of those games...That's why I always put that nugget in there....There should always be an asterisk beside the score of that game....

 

Like it or not, that was the reason you guys won that game that year....Even at that, it took a run in the 4th quarter to put UC away...Remember, UC beat LC in Tiptonville that year 70-47...

 

07-08 you guys were 0-3 vs Humboldt...Even if you had beaten UC you had to get past Humboldt..As it was you were 0-6 against UC and Humboldt plus a loss to Marion, Ill....Humboldt fans would beg to differ on that opinion....You are going to have a hard time convincing anybody Lake County was the best team in the state that season...

 

In 06-07 UC only lost to Humboldt (after beating them by double-digits both games in the regular season), Brentwood Acd by 2 points in Nashville, St. Louis Vashon and Warren Central, Ky....5-1 vs Humboldt and 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.

Coach Whitby is looking a lot better now.

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.

Just got word in from Jackson LtDan

 

Northside totally dismantaled Bolivar led by 25 before starters were pulled. Tisdale did go out midway first half with eye injury in their defense but dont think would have made a huge difference

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.

I'm going with Humboldt by 8 tonight !I believe Union City will play man to man but I'd like to see a zone..!Am curious to how Humboldt shoots from outside other than Brooks..Take Brooks or play and him tight and see if the other players can knock down shots..And they may can..I want to see though..!

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.

Lausanne is not a regional or state threat. But they can beat you if you overlook them.

Dyer County tends to get cocky. All the fans will get upset about this but it is the truth. Ask anyone not from the Choctow tribe.

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

Humbolt took Lake Co to the woodshed tonight 97-56. You were close bigster

 

You're right..I thoughtLake Co would play ball..I knew Lake Co was beat when Whitby started the 5 players he did..He didn't start Leron Garret and Ricck Boyd didn't play at all until middle of the 3rd quarter..He started the Swift kid,about 5 foot in place of Leron and I assume Ricky Boyd wasnt playing because he isn't a very good outside shooter and decided not to play him..But the thing is..the boys that Whitby started cant shhot either and Ricky is a better athlete..I read Copenoc's thread below..He's right..Lake Co has talent..Too much talent to lose like they did..I left in the at the end of the 3rd quarter..something I've never done..but couldnt sit through that mess any longer..like Copenoc said..no plays whatsoever..just come down and if I'm open a little shoot..and a lot of dribbling and taking it to the basket and a 5'5 player trying to shoot over guys 6'4..Humboldt played a zone and Lake Co came out in a zone press that wasnt working and Humboldt was just getting layups at will..Coach..wake up..Humboldt has some fine athletes but doesnt shoot much betetr than we do ,other than Antonio Brooks..I left the score was about 21 points..Humboldt must have outscored us about 30 points or close in the last quarter alone so I figured Whitby must have done the same thing he did at Brighton..Emptied his bench and played the guys that never get to play..The thing is..they cant get the ball past half court..So..I'm believeing thats where the 97 points are coming in..He was probably upset with his players..But the thing is..he's most of the problem..I like the man..but to not play a zone..in a press that wasnt doing anything..starting a couple players that hardly ever play..and against Humboldt..got what he deserved..I saw a lot of people walking out the same time as me..Surely he saw the fans leaving..Maybe everyone needs to stsrt walking out after the girls game the rest of the year and the school officials will take notice..But then again..they have everyone's money..But Congrats to Humboldt..This is in no way saying they dont have a good team..that there was bad officiating..Humboldt was and looks to be the better team..and a whole lot better coach..Maybe time to admit that Lake Co just isnt any good..too much individual play..

After this beatin, I might have to change my screen name. Gosh This was about as heartless bunch of players that i've ever seen. They might need to start practicing for football but then again there is that Union City score where they were down by 40 at halftime. Maybe Lake County can go follow the yellow brick road and ask the wizard for a little heart just like the tinman. I have to encourage myself just to watch them again. It was very disappointing to say the very least. What happen to the team that played in Carbondale. That team would beat this team worse than Humboldt did last night. I don't care if it's coaching or what everybody else is sayin. But i don't care if i didn't even have a coach on the side lines, I would have enough heart not to get blasted by 40 points.

I just called the high school to tell them my son wouldn't be in school any this week because he had shoulder surgery yesterday..Probably miss a month of baseball season..Anyway..I ask if they had heard anything about Cody and was told that she heard them talking about Cody this morning and still believed they were wating on a teacher to post the grades..I told her I was thinking about going to Dyer Co-Dyersburg but if Cody was going to play..may go to Hickman..She said even if he was eligible..siad she wasnt sure he would play tonight anyway..I don't think he'd start for a few games but would eventually make his way..Probably not just going to start him right away

They play in Fulton,KY Bigster. LOL

LOL Bigster he is right Fulton City is where u wanna go.

how many jabs did purple & gold take at the small schools in the one post? how many greats did he refer to in one post about union city. no, i dont know purple but hes got to be shane the great sisco.

beavo no comment on you. you must be the assistant coach to be defending sisco.

I like P&G and I don't wanna get in the middle of this but i have no clue why Beavo is even in this. Is there not a Dyer County Thread that u can post on. And where is Adsmom?????????????????????????????????????????????????????? He two cents havent been throw around here in a long while.

 

Keep in mind that Lake Co has won about 11of their last 14 games and the losses were all out if state in Kentucky and Illinois tournaments since the football players are back..Also keep in mind that in the tournament in Carbondale,one of the teams in the tournament was Memphis East..a team that has beaten your beloved Manassas team..have beaten B.T.W. ..only lost to 3 points to Joe Jackson and White Station and lost to Melrose by 19 points..But not many teams have come closer than that to Melrose..The same Memphis team I'm talking about that beat Manassas played Missouri Ins and lost by 1 point..Lake Co beat that same Missouri Ins team by 5 points..So I wouldn't overlook Lake Co.!

But wasn't 1 loss to Union City in that Illinois tournament if I'm not mistaken?

 

Yes..they lost to Union City on a neutral court but also a game that Lake Co had a 1 point lead with just seconds to play and a 1 point lead and Union City had to foul intentionally and Lake Co just missed their free throws..But again ..on a neutral court..The same Union City team that came to Dyer Co..on Dyer Co's home floor and went to overtime..missed a 3 ball that just rimmed out at the buzzer or it wouldn't have been an overtime..Also ..Lake Co may have 2 players on the team tonight..In other words..a Dyer Co fan could ask a Dyer Co .player Cody Gross about Taylor..I'm pretty sure he's played against him..Ask Cody Gross if big Ced is better than Cody Taylor..Not saying he'll be eligible..Will know tonight..But if he is..Lake Co just got a lot better..And another kid,Swift,about 6'3 and can jump out of the gym will be eligible for sure..So..could be 2 starters that we havent been having..For sure Cody Taylor will start..and Swift will be maybe the first off the bench.!

I don't know if Cody will be eligible but they played some good team at siu. I will let u see the carbindale book when i see u bigster. But all the teams up the out sized us and some by a whole lot. I bet we were the smallest team up there. But i would say that if we had a better second half against that chi university team we would have played for the carbindale title against Bartlet. I think that we are about to play some good Bball in the second half of the season.

Clarksville Academy and they win it all

Grace Baptist

A team from District 12a 9either Summertown or Perry County)

 

as for the rest a little more study on my part

I think that Either Lake County, Union City, Humboldt, or Middleton will win it all. West Tn has to be the favorite for the gold ball.

007.....I think you were doing pretty good until that last comment..Adsmom hasnt posted yet but I think she's on reading and I expect a reply..You've been wanting to hear from her..I believe you will..Adsmom and me go back a long way..May just see if she wants to visit the old Lake Co gym one night and tend to 007 in person..lol..

 

 

007 ant scared.lol... I will lay the Hammer Down on adsmom if she tryies any monkey business in the House that 007 built.lol

 

She'll make you rethink that QUICKLY!!!!

Adsmom????? Where are you?

I think i will post a picture of Adsmom on the side of a milk carton. No where to be found. She is scared of 007.lol I have that kind of affect on people.

007 told everyone that lc just need a little motivation and they would get the press going. They look better last night on the press than they have since Tony Tyler romed the hardwood. We are back to take the single a world by storm! You can quote the 007 on that one. By the way lc has a hard tournment slate ahead. Goin first to Graves co. tournment and then off to the siu tournment. I know Memphis East will be up there and might win the thing. They played White Station to 3 last night. So lc will be better after These tournments. Win or Lose.

Beavo Why in the world didn't McCord go to a different tournment than play in the Gibson county tournment and the Martin tournment. They should have play in a tournment that would prepare them to play teams like White Station and Melrose. I mean the best team you will play in Gibson is Bolivar and they lost to Ridgeway by 30. I don't think that Ridgeway is in the top three in memphis. I think Melrose then White Station and then Southwind are the top three aaa team in memphis. We will know a little more how good Ridgeway is when they play White Station tonight. DC sould be playin in the siu tournment with us.

007.....I think you were doing pretty good until that last comment..Adsmom hasnt posted yet but I think she's on reading and I expect a reply..You've been wanting to hear from her..I believe you will..Adsmom and me go back a long way..May just see if she wants to visit the old Lake Co gym one night and tend to 007 in person..lol..

007 ant scared.lol... I will lay the Hammer Down on adsmom if she tryies any monkey business in the House that 007 built.lol

is everyone happy now that we won by 44 points. We layed the hammer down.

So I guess Lake County isn't gonna make the coaching change to 007

 

 

I still want 007

007 is in demand! I know, I know, everyone want 007 as a coach. I want to coach against the best like Legend and Adsmom. I will get my all-star staff together with Bigster and Chipper.lol Chipper might not want the job here in lc but he will have the first shot at the job. Maybe if he don't want it i will go for Yankee but Yankee don't know where Lc is located.lol J/k Yankee I know Give me Red16, He has made me laugh alot on these boards. Red16 ur on 007's staff. This all-star staff will put to shame the staff that was put together in Knoxville by far. Book it Lc wins State from now on in single a with 007 in charge. So Sisco and the Temples of the Single a world get ready, 007 is layin down the Hammer on everyone in his way. I will take the State by storm!

007 for President in 2012 my Vice President will be Bigster. And the dog catcher will be Adsmom.lol

is everyone happy now that we won by 44 points. We layed the hammer down.

I was wrong about this game..I thought Union City had enough speed and the shooters to beat Humboldt..I was expecting Humboldt to play a zone but was expecting Union City to maybe shoot better ..Lake Co won tonight over South Fulton 95-51..My son said Lake Co played pretty good tonight.Started the new kid,Devon that moved from Ill..Patrick Robertson.Caleb Bledsoe,Rafael Tyler and Leron Garret..Brought Ricky Boyd off the bench..Ricky has been playing pretty well and one of the players that at least hustle every play..Leron has played good lately and and Rafael has looked good about every game..If Patrick and Caleb gives Lake Co anything,then Lake Co seems to play pretty good.Heard Lake Co played everyone and just about everyone played..That's what I like to see...get a big lead before you empty the bench.!

 

Mr. Big ...Has Lake Co. started recruiting in Ill. now...lol...Transfers are not suppose to start till after Christmas Break. Coach Whitby knows better than that.

Don't go there DCfan74. His a Freshman by the way and he can ball.
