Real world---LA-83 Clay Co.-43

 

Now that's a pretty good come back there. :D

 

I thought the Cats would be a little hungry tonight but in all reality I never dreamed that they would win by 40. Keep it going guys and finish strong on into the tournament.

 

How is Godwin I never did hear how bad he was hurt ? I really hope that he is ok b/c the Dawgs have a real good chance to knock the door down in the tournament and he will play a key role on how far they advance. Good Luck to Clay Co. hope you guys reach your goals this year. :lol:

All i'm going to say was this was a 4 point game when my son took a flagrant foul, a kick to the throat in the open court, now mind you he wasnt' on the ground he ball faked Cates, went around him and that is when he got kicked in the throat while he was standing up because the defender went sailing through the air and just tried to do whatever he could to stop my son. It was very very scary for all of us. There wasn't a flagrant or intentional foul called on this play as a matter of fact there was no foul called. Everyone in the gym seen it and how bad it was, people including doctors were running onto the court before the whistle even blew, except for the ref's that were calling the game. The one head ref walked over to the coach and said he never seen it happen, he was only 5 feet away and it happened at the top of the key but he "said" he never seen it. At that point the fouls were 8-1 in favor of the home team and they weren't for whatever reason going to call anything against LA. So i don't want to hear anyone from LA ever get on these boards and complain about calls or no calls like they did after the Lipscomb game. What was amazing though was after that incident they started calling everything and anything. After that happened the game went to pot, not sure what happened and really don't care. LA won at home and Clay won at home. No big deal this game means nothing. I have many friends that are ref's and there are some very good ones out there so i dont' want to imply that it was the ref's fault that Clay lost a game because tonight the better team won period. Good luck to LA the rest of the way. :angry:

How many minutes were on the clock when it was a four point game in the first quater??

 

 

B) Godwin fakes a shot Cates jumps and hits him in the cheek then he takes a couple dribbles shoots a air ball then he looks at the ref and fell to the floor holding his throat. The refs blew their whistles and then two women come onto the floor. From the refs point of view which was the way i saw it on video..it didnt even look like Cates hit him at all.

 

 

The fouls at the end of the first quater was 7 - 4 in favor of LA!

Devil, you forgot to mention that Clay's JV team also lost by 40. After losing by a total of 80 points, not including the girls 30 point loss, it's no surprise you'd be miffed.

No one from Lipscomb argued the coach's box technical with 1 minute left against LA. LA's coach even said on the radio that he WAS out of the box, but that he had been the entire game. In a two point game with 1 minute left, that call can alter the outcome of the game. Were you at the Lipscomb game?

 

I hope your son is okay. He seemed okay toward the end of the game.

 

Here's one difference in the the Clay/LA game and the LA/Lipscomb game.

CLAY vs. LA - you are upset about a call that LA fans saw as an accidental blow to the mouth and Clay fans saw as a Flagrant foul to the throat. It was late in the 1st or early in the second. You say Clay was down 4 and then got beat 40. If this is the reason then your son is better than we thought.

 

LA vs. Lipscomb - We already know the call. LA was down 2, DL gained 4 and LA lost by 3.

 

BTW, after the ladies ran onto the floor and the ref stopped the game, the "flagrant" fouler's "flagrant" dad volunteered his time to take a look at your son.

 

Hey, we agree on one thing, the better team won. And the same...good luck to Clay the rest of the way.

He definetly kicked him. When he saw Jon goin by, he kicked his foot out to try to stop him. Refs or not, Livingston was gonna win this game. Coach Edwards really underestimated Dunn and put his second best defender on Cates, which was a waste. Besides that, Clay wouldn't get out on Matthews. If that kid has the ball inside of half-court, there has to be a hand in his face. Bad game from top to bottom for the dawgs.

How nice of Coach Edward's to give his second best defender the night off and just guard Cates B) . Poor mr.devilfanatic. his son goes out of the game and from there on out, according to his post, he wasn't sure what happened and doesn't really care. Does everyone in Clay know how true a CLay County basketball fan he really is?????

Some of you people are idiots and your'e one of them, whats your real name? Lets quit hiding behind this fake name and tell me who you are, actually it won't matter whether you tell me or not i'll find out from some of my friends that are on here from Livingston and i know one that knows who you are. I wasn't implying that i didn't care and everyone knows this. Jon didn't get kicked in the cheek or the mouth, it was in the throat but according to sweety, he didn't get hit at all right? What an idiot. I never said Cates did it intentionally he's playing the game, however Dr. Cates will tell you he got kicked in the throat, as for the one who asked about him, he'll be ok. Now on the other hand if it was Cates that had been the one that got kicked in the throat and put out of the game and there was "no call" i wonder what everyone from Livingston would be saying? The bottom line is no matter what this game meant nothing in the grand scheme of things. The better team won when the game was played at Celina and the better team that night won when it was played at Livingston. There is no lieing about the score and it doesn't matter if you win by 1 or 100 or lose by 1 or 100 its still the same. B)

Ooh. real mature there devil. how adultlike to start name calling. what does it matter who someone is. you have your opinions, which you state freely. But when you don't agree with someone else's way of seeing things you get all bent out of shape. Try to chill.

    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year. 
    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
