White County at Fifth Third Tourn Lexington Ky.

/Don't know the facts but they are not getting the ball inside so it sounds like the height might have something to do with it.

 

 

Heard this team was HUGE and had three guys that are 6'5" and all average about 16-18 points each.

2 6'5" guards and a 6'6" center but I cannot believe they have held these kids to such a low score. Something must have happeded that caused it. Just wish we knew what. Maybe Tammy will let us know soon. Sounds like no one on wc 's team scored.

"85" Like I said earlier in this thread, White County doesn't have good size and when they play a team that does, I was a little worried on how they would respond.

I got word that they couldn't get the balldown the court and lost it a lot. Puckett got an intentional foul called on him when they were just pushing each other which they said had been going on all night. Their feet were tangled together and he was trying to get his foot loose and they called a T on him and coach Mithchell took him out and never put him back in. This was in the third quarter. They have three guys who have signed with division 1 schools and the refs were leaning heavily for them. Final score was 8l to 42. Lots of people there were really upset that were not even from Sparta because of the way they did Puckett so I was told. They said they would have walked out. He was really holding his own and scoring and they did not like it. When you play againgst Div l signees you do not get the calls. It is always that way,

Well, I hate to get a loss, but sometimes it can be good for a team. Hopefully it will be good for WC.

WC cruised by Clay County barely breaking a sweat. It was a boring game. I think they walked into Lexington Catholic with a false sense of security.....and it is costing them. A loss like this will only pay off in the long run. You have to admit that KY bball is a cut above most teams in TN and White County made a good choice taking them on. Whoever they play next will pay dearly.

Anybody know who WC plays tomorrow in the tourney?

I am not mad becasue Cookeville lost to Dyer Co. Cookeville isn't a very good club this year. I def don't think Dyer Co. will win state either. And all I am saying is that i've seen alot of basketball played especially around the upper cumberlands and after watching this years WC team, i do not think they are any better than teams in the past. I understand how they could be ranked for their 12-0 start but ive just seen way better basketball. I guess the quallity of teams are down this year, or maybe for sure just in 7aaa.

[2priceless]

I am not trying to insult any of the teams in 7AAA by this statement, but I agree with you Mr. Heisman. I think the whole district as a whole is down this yr. Last yr we had tons of big name srs with experience and skill. This yr we don't really have any of the big names throughout the district like we have had in yrs past. No one making the cover of On The Ball.

I watched the CPA vs Mason Co. KY and this game ........ CPA would beat White Co by 20 + !! Clay Co. is not a good team in KY this year .... FYI .

Rough game tonight in both senses of the word. Kentucky basketball is very physical and we had a hard time adjusting. We fell behind 10-0 right off the bat and was behind 23-6 at the end of one. It ballooned to 47-18 at the half. Puckett didn't go to the bench until the third quarter. We turned the ball over a lot against their pressure which was constant. They either pressed or ran and jumped at half court. They got out on our shooters and caused a lot of problems getting open looks. We shot one of 14 on threes and were 10 of 38 from two point range. They were a very fundamentally sound team that can score and really gets after it defensively. Tyler Greene led us with 10 points. Next was Brown and Puckett with six each. They were a very good team although I don't believe they were 50 points better than us. We should bounce back against Boyle County Friday.

Thanks for the info. Shooting only 21% from the field /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> won't win us many games.
