Ruff year. MOWest on top at 30- 1 and loses to a loser. Good job Mac. Good job Knox. Love you girls, your got farther than us. Your long time ET friend.

I don't say I absolutely know something very often, but I do know that Lauren Avant was very sick during the entire Ladies Classic. If you've ever watched her play, she is a skilled competitor and will be a great add to UT's program. Lauren is really one of those naturally great players. I only wish that some of you could watch her play AAU ball because she is the real thing!

Am I missing it or is the girls post-season tournament schedule posted somewhere for Region1-AAA?

statman3 and raiderray - (don't know you statman3, but raiderray and i were in the trotter group for several years) I know the season will end positive for your girls at Cherokee, maybe not with the score, as my daughter is a lady trojan, but because they participated in a game that has taught them much, under a coach that has class. The round ball has brought them together with folks they would not have met without it, ( like me and riderray). I like Coach Price, even though she tells me every time about the game Coach Galyon ran the score up on her. She has the instincts of a mom with those girls and cares. She will have a better year in 2010-2011. Coach Galyon might have to watch for her to run the score up, but she will have to work hard! RaiderRay, hope to see you at the post season games, bring that Kelsey back tovisit. I still have Trotter shots on the website of her as a 12 and 13. Life is a 4 lane road, as our daughter travel one lane, let us not forget that we travel another... so stay in your lane!

Well said LadyRedFan. You have reminded us what it's really all about, the time and lessons of building quality character in our daughters to carry forward into this world. I rejoice to see that there remains a few good Dad's around. One of the greatest titles I have ever earned.

Any details or date for Regional tournament yet?

I have not posted this year, but ran into Rayraider up in Morristown at a restaurant a few weeks ago and he might disagree. West still has three games in the district. Coach Galyon knew at the sports banquet last year that he was going to have a special year. Hope it keeps going!

Spoken in third person? Doen't sound like an Angel to me.

I like being able to identify these girls by where we have seen them play for the past few springs. No doubt that Graves with the Lady Shox 14's of Clarksville is one of the top in the class. Most have never realized that she was playing up since a 10 year old. Danielle Ballard is the same with the Memphis Elite 14's, Eric and his assistants have done a good job preparing her. There is a Daniel's girl from that bunch that can play well too. Another tough player is Marjorie Butler that has played with the Tennesse Flight Freshmen from Shelbyville that finished 5th at Nationals the past two years. Look for her at Webb in Knoxville to add to that program. The LadyTrotter fan listed only Blount County but they also had Christina Slay who was slotted for Seymour last spring (sister to Tennessee standout Ron Slay) and Allison Jones at Morristown West. I will have to go with my unknown friend MOWEST21 and say watch Graves and Ballard, but would add Butler to that list.

Ok lets get it started. Who is looking strong this year? Any new players coming in? Who's coming up?

Since both Greeneville and Hamblen County are closed, has anyone heard about the Regional playoff in Greeneville. Only "official" replies please.

Interesting to look back and see where the obvious choice to be the only home loser stands today.

Please find a time to share with me - Do you think I should wash it?

It means a lot to West because it is Greeneville. Period. If Smith can out score Dickson 21 to 13 again, if Watson can hit four 3's and stop Greeville drives, If George and Hall can get 4 points each, and May can create 8 to 10 turnovers and score on five of them, and if Fanney can drive the lane and get 8 to 10 from shots and free throws, - AND IF THE WHOLE TEAM PLAY THE DEFENSE THEY KNOW HOW TO PLAY. Your ten point stread is correct. The team you have given it to is incorrect.

I think they will host the game in Greeneville, I have the shirt, wore it tonight, will wear it Wednesday. It worked two year age when West beat won. The regions. West has played more games on that court than any other execpt their own. And if they win the regional, it will be on that court. I understand the A/D were scheduling practice times for Thursday for West on the court, subject to their win. But the big secret is the shirt and I have it. It has a high success rate, and has been passed down for the next generation of Lady Trojans. If they win, it will become the regional shirt and will be worn for the next four years to regional championship games. After which it should be retired and place in a special place for display, like in drug store or bank.
