'bout last nite's HV-SG game...Past few games, most of the Lady Warriors are pretty much playing without passion and heart.....Williams can't play alone out there, and the guards just aren't playing inspired ball right now. :rolleyes: Hope the downward spiral can be stopped, or the post-season will be mighty short. Maybe some younger girls should get a chance for more floor time...might provide the competitive spark the veterans seem to lack right now. Hopefully it would carry into the post-season! Best of luck to the Lady Warriors next week as they travel to West Greene (scary place to play now...just ask Unicoi) and to Unicoi (always a supreme challenge)....

Cyclonefan, 33viking is right. Happy Valley's guard and perimeter play is their weakness. When the pressure is on they sometimes have a hard time handling it. I really don't think the young players for Happy Valley are ready to step in at this time. Maybe for a minute or two but not ready to do any better for an extended period of time. The perimeter's focus and concentration must be an area addressed by Coach Godsey. Scoring 1 point in the first quarter just shows how ready you are to play. Even Williams missed some shots and free throws she needs to make. After the first quarter both teams played pretty evenly but of course by that time the game was over. Another area that will hurt the Warriors is the loss of Summer Ward (mono). She was a spark off the bench that really helped in the post area. Solution, not sure. Either the players want to play the way they need to play or they don't. Can't make one. Maybe let them come off the bench a few games might help or something to that effect. The Lady Warriors are pretty good when the perimeter players are focused and "in" the game. Williams will be a constant each night. That's why their record is what it is. Some nights they play, some nights they don't.

Like I said earlier, thought it might be a long night for the Warriors. South Greene has really improved throughout the year (as I'm sure you know) and Happy Valley hasn't improved as much. Pressure on the ball, nice quickness and good shooting from South Greene was the difference. And like 33 said, Happy Valley wasn't "inspired" and South Greene was.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
