Is Oneida playing in that McCreary Tourney this year?

Easy old KAZZO! I forgot your gettin old and impacient Just messin with ya Kazz, Grizzl says just holler at him sometime my man! Hey what do you think about this years team and your expectations for them?

Well, I'd expect them to know which end of the floor they are shooting on! Man, that is such a loaded guestion because your expectations should always be high, imo. If you settle for less, thats usually what you get. Your coach is a gamer and you should feed off his energy. I have a clue as to some of the things he likes to do so it's safe to bet you'll be fun to watch. I need to look around the league a bit before I can tell where you are going to land, but I do think you have a chance to be in the hunt with OS and Warburg. BUT you have to play solid basketball to beat those two.

Your exactly right Kaz, set high goals and demand to achieve them. Work hard every day and you will achieve your goals. Who knows what can and will happen if you want it to.

Other expectations I didn't mention:

-more sounds of swish, than clank.....when we have the ball!

-that the and1 tour remains a show on ESPN and not at OHS!

-that the word unit becomes more important than the word individual.

-King is a winner. Heres hoping you keep him that way!

-B. Jacobs knees work for him instead of against him! You'll be surprised how much it will help if he remains healthy through the season.

-Abbott continues to develop......cause he already works hard!

-hope the guards realize they are all pretty good and they constantly encourage each other, instead of getting jealous of who gets the most PT!

-Coach King will get T'd before he plays his first District Game (odds are running 5 - 2 right now)(King, if you read this, your fire burnth HOT....and sometimes the refs get burnt!)

-I will be seen at a game munching on popcorn.......smiling and shaking my head!

-I will support, though thick and thin, these two teams.

No doubt kaz, we need jacobs to be healthy. He is a big part of this team. Abbot is by far the most improved player and he goes all out every day. He's gotten stronger and rebounds really well. All the gaurds will have to play well and all will see a lot of time. King will keep his hand on this team and will make sure this is a unit that works together because we have not standout player. He knows it will take everyone contributing to this team in their own way, and they will know their role.

This team has some good players, when they want to be. Could shock some people around Christmas time, when they get settled into the new system.

I have heard some very good things about Coach King and I know that the players are very excited to be playing for him. It appears that the players are able to express themselves a little more than they have the past couple of years, which I think is a good thing, and they all seem to be more relaxed.

 

I have also heard that the rotation has been cut way down and there will no longer be mass substitutions, which will only help becasue it will allow the kids on the floor to develope more team chemistry.

 

Benji Jacobs is a very big part of the team but a couple of other names you better get used to hearing are Zack Lambert and Logan Crowley because I am expecting a whole lot out of all 3 of these kids.

 

Good luck this year!

YDKM, I hope these seniors have a good year. They sure do work hard enough to deserve it.

[magic123]

Scott and Oneida both have very good teams this year. I would like to see them square off sometime this year.....Will this happen?

[kazam37]

I doubt it. The last time these two got together it was a respectful game from the players. It sure was a good job by the coaching staffs in handling the X's and O's and kepping the "Joes" on the task at hand. Anyway, with no incidents on the floor, that is a positive for any future encounters!
