District 13AA

[13AA]

I don't think Dist. 14AA will stand a chance. All of our (13AA) teams are hot right now. Milan has won 9 straight now?, Gibson Co. is scoring points left and right, Westview just defeated the #1 team in the state, Obion Co. is Obion Co. and stays hot year round.

 

 

Congratulations to Westview and Milan. Both do have an advantage with home court first round, but OC and GC can still pull through. It was a very entertaining night in Milan, with the first game being a classic. You cannot say enough good about the young Westview team, and Rechis is a winner. Coaching means a lot, and Westview proved it last night.

 

Milan stepped it up the second half, but still had too many turnovers. However, they had just enough energy and talent to pull it out, mainly because Hamm could knock down the threes. GC gave it their best, and the junk defenses had Milan frustrated the first half. It did appear that Milan got more breaks, especially the second half. GC did get some breaks the first half, so it may have evened out.

 

Great night of BB !!

This is to much. You know, North Side has only won 90% of their games, or put another way, they've only lost 2 games. I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss a team like that. Plus, I would try to refrain from using terms like "LIT IT UP" when discribing a game where both teams only averaged about 9.5 points a quarter. Lastly, This has got to be some of the funniest smack I've heard from a forth place district team in a LONG time. Keep it up, please. Your putting a smile on my face. /roflolk.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflolk:" border="0" alt="roflolk.gif" />

 

 

 

I think it is quite funny that all anyone wants to talk about is NS from the other district. NS lost 4 starters from last year, only has 1 senior and is starting 3 freshmen and 1 sophomore. No one from NS has ever said they were state contenders. Coach Lowery does a tremendous job and always seems to rise to the occasion with whatever talent he gets. District 13AA is loaded and "should" win, but has it has been said numerous times on this site, "That is Why you Play the Game."

Well, tell your young ladies to not fall into the trap that some teams get caught up in. Play their own game in their own district and then see where they fall in the region. Bottom line, it doesn't matter if your first or forth in region. To win the region, you'll have to play the best. Either in the first round or second round. I don't have a horse in the 13AA or 14AA. We'll all have to make it to the state before we see either of you. For us that's 5 wins away. I just get a kick out of people making boastful statements.

 

I do have a question for the 13AA folks that seemed to know the refs by name. In our district, we swap refs with other districts, which means we get refs that we don't see during the season. Why don't you guys do that? It keeps prejudices or hard feelings caused by encounters during the season from effecting the outcome of games at tournament time. Just an idea. If the refs did effect the game.

To answer your question on the offiicating...I don't know. Maybe we should have different officials especailly during tournaments. That takes the bias out. But I defy anyone that can convince me that Joyner should be allowed to officiate any girls 13AA game during regular season or tournament. Especially when he has a daughter who plays for milan??? Can anyone answer that one for me.

 

Your right come regional time if your still standing your probably a decent team and who knows what can happen. My motto say's it all.

thug, as you are clueless to this area of basketball and go by records only, it'd be best if you stayed quiet on the subject. I remember I looked at North Sides schedule and looked at their opponents of whom they had played when they stood at 15-0. With the 15 games they had played, only 2 had a winning record! I do research before I post stuff like that. You claim it's funny that we lost and how we boast about how good we are. Duke and North Carolina get upset every year. It's apart of the game. Just because a team loses doesn't mean the other team is head and shoulders better than the team they defeated especially in a 6 point loss. Westview has not played like they did last night all year long. Milan is starting to get hot and going to be hard to beat. If Milan does make it to the 'boro I don't see anyone stopping Poston. Teams from around here are familiar with her and can contain her somewhat but if Milan makes it to state watch for Poston to go all out! Poston is the best player in 13AA and probably the best in the west!

GCFAN2 not that I disagree with you, but name me one game in the tournament where Joyner has done ANYTHING that affected the outcome. Even if he does the GC/OC game tomorrow night, and you lose what difference is it going to make? You don't know who you are going to play next and you don't know who you will be bracketed with. You must win in the region, the district means no more than a home game. In the region you will trully get to enjoy the group from Memphis, more than likely.

[GCPioneer]

LOL, we thought we had bad last night, wait till the Memphis crew. They seem to do their best at making every game a close game and forgetting the rules of the game.

WV has not played like this all year my tail!!They did every thing they could do to give OC the win,3 straight turnovers in last 2 minutes.They played better against Milan overtime game at WV,DC game to lock up 4th place,and Dburg game in tournament.I know was scouting all 3 games,I told you they are gellin'!!!!They made alot more young team mistakes in the end last night.The scary thing they have nothing to lose because nobody gave 'em a chance..21,15,32,and 12 may not score much but are killin everyone on D!! If they are not to high from OC game should be a classic Championship game.Conselation game should be great also!!!!

I did not say anything about tournament play. One case in point was the Gibson County OC regular season game...not like he was calling a game that paired 2 teams from the bottom of 13AA. Ask anybody that was at that game and see what kind of response you get. I have watched basketball in this county for a long time and he has officiated several around, and certainly his fair share in 13AA. No reason he cant call games else where when 13AA plays. Thats not too much to ask. I have no problem with him calling games, but CAN YOU GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON WHY HE SHOULD BE ABLE TO CALL ANY GIRLS GAME IN 13AA WHEN HE HAS A DAUGHTER WHO PLAYS FOR ONE OF THE TOP TEAMS IN 13AA??? I only need one good reason, beside the fact he is a good official. Never questioned his ability, only his reason for being there in the first place. I'll be waiting??

I do believe the word tournament is in there. So back up what you say and , and let's hear about the game in the tournament where Joyner has devistated someone with his officiating.

[volman]

Morally, it should not be allowed. Opens to many doors (just like this board) for suspicion. He may be a good person and ref, but.......... one bad call can sometimes change the outcome of a game, and he he ever gets caught up in that position, and it looks as if it would benefit Milan, what would you expect ppl to think? What if it happened to your school?

[sls]

I attended the GC OC game @ OC. First of all OC stepped up that night without their best player and defeated OC. It is difficult to win without a good player. You of all people should realize that fact , as you guys are playing w/o MS. Griffin.

After all that has happened in 13 AA you are basically saying Joyner knew the outcome of every game that has taken place, before it ever happened, and his calls @ OC that night were all planned out to put GC in this horrible spot they are in. LOL

Tell me what difference it would make to Joyner who won the OC/GC game that night or any other night.

It is no different than when M Barron or Fred Ivey from Dyer, officiates a GC game. Barron is one of the better officials around. Just because people know who Joyner is, it does nor give you a reason to bash him, because of where he is assigned. I would say you could, by name, tell me 10 other better officials than Joyner, since you go to so many games. You also probably know all the ones that do perfect games every time out.

I would take Barron and Joyner doing any game.

And like you say this has been going on for years!!! The T$$AA filed your request in file 13. If his officiating is so bad, the coaches in 13AA can request him not to do their games. Upon that request by a coach, that official will not be assigned any more games on that teams home floor. So since this has been going on for years, it is VERY evident your coaching staff (may very well be the best I have ever seen in high school) has not issued this request. Not has OC, DB, MW or any other 13AA school, except Joyner himself opting out of all Milan games.

If you have any respect for your coaching staff, you might want to follow their lead!!!
