Rickman may be the 3rd seed, but I think that they have the best chance to beat Allons, the 1 seed. We played Allons close at our own gym for most of the game.

 

May be another Allons upset in the making....

 

I think Allons has too many weapons, but after what happened last year I guess anything is possible.

Whew! Overton, you were nearly right. I wouldn't have thought it could have ever been that close. Of course, as you said about the Allons girls, the same can be said for the Rickman boys. Everything they threw up went in. When your opponent starts banking in 3-pointers, you better watch out. But unlike you Overton, since I was for Allons, I didn't enjoy it. As you said about having one of your starters out, the Hawks got less than a quarter from one of their main guns. Fortunately, they were able to persevere. As in most cases when one of a team's better players is out, somebody has to step up and they did just that. I will have to say I was seeing visions of '06. Luckily, it didn't turn out the same way. Lastly, for the continued complaining about the holdbacks, the oldest kid on the floor played for Allons. The 2nd oldest kid played for Rickman. Just a little something the complainers might want to think about. Congrats to the Hawks. Nice way to go out for Alex, Hayden, Josh, J.W., and Kailen. 4 out of 5 tourney wins. We will miss you in hawk country.

Why does it matter? Like I said in another post, we should all be bigger fans of the kids. The reason I say we should all be bigger fans of the kids that play the game is because I heard about some of the comments that were yelled after the game.

 

I wish I could have stayed to see the game, taking a team like that down to the wire is something to be proud of.

Next year Allons won't have their freshmen, so I guess the fans won't have anything to complain about if they beat us then.

I don't think Rickman had any more kids like that. Now would Allons like to let it be know how many is like that on their team. I would say not. So now you can see why kids like to go to Allons they can stay back and win a championship and be a grade school hero.

Or you can cry about what somebody else(Allons in particular) does. By the way, you said go to Allons and stay back, I wasn't aware that Allons was the only school in the county where staying back was an option. Thanks for the info. Past #1 and #15, who are the other Allons 8th graders who are holdbacks? Lastly, if you think the only reason a child gets held back is to win a championship and be a grade school hero, then you are even less intelligent than I first thought. There are different reasons kids stay back and they are not always sports related. Although, sometimes ballplayers are held back not just for playing ball. I guess Allons may be the only school where all their ballplayers are not honor roll students since they are the only school that has players that stay back.

      Way too early 1A favorites 2024

      By Summit22 · Posted

      Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2.

      It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By BDURHAM · Posted

      Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
