May be the system? /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />

 

 

 

Yes, I guess you are right. Doesn't seem to be much interest there in the sport anymore. That's a shame too. Manchester has long been known for competitive girls teams. I for one hate to see them lose that part of their program. Oh, well, thanks shootmore for your insight. /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" />

I think there is interest..........from November to February. That's alot of the problem. In order to compete in our district, you have to have a good feeder program and we simply don't. It seems since Vinson left Westwood, we aren't developing much talent at the middle school/jr. high levels. That isn't a knock on present coaches, it just seems to be the case. Another problem is it is hard to develop young players in the off season because softball is the dominant player in womens athletics here and it is nearly impossible for many athletes to find time to do both well. Understand, I am not criticizing girls for wanting to play other sports-- It is a free country. But , go watch an AAU tournament this spring and you will see the same faces playing from other towns that you have seen visiting our gym on Friday nights.

Can't say I agree with these statements. AAU was in good shape here when the "system" arrived from Mexico. The girls played and softball didn't interfere with any of them. I seem to have been reading where our middle school teams have been doing pretty well the past few years. I also believe the middle schools play the same teams that end up being our competition in high school. So, if the girls keep the same opponents from junior high to high school, then shouldn't they also be able to not only compete but win some games at that level. Just some added perspective Pearlball. /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" />

The Westwood girls finished 12-6 this year - playing teams like woodbury, moore county, boyd christian, woodland, rockvale, s. pitt .............. hardly the same teams the h/s plays.

 

I remember living in Manchester when there girls won the State Title..Then some parents started complaining the coach was to harsh with the girls and she left the program. Well, some times you get what you ask for.

I understand your perspective completely. You want to start a forum to complain about Scroggins. I am not defending the man nor blaming him. All I am saying is there are other reasons for the downslide besides simply blaming the coach. He may well be part of the problem, but you can't blame it fully on him. As for the middle school, they beat the same teams our high school defeats year in and year out (tullahoma,n. franklin, warren county,)and Pedo has already pointed out Westwoods schedule. Oh, also, I don't ever recall a time our AAU program was in great shape. One age group of girls playing a little travel ball is NOT a program.

Ladynred starts this up about every year. CC doesn't have the horses to run the District 8-3A race & hasn't for years. Yes some very good players have come through in the past 15 years since the '93 title team, but I believe they haven't finished any higher than 2nd (95-96) since then. It can't be coaching because Donaldson, Crabtree, & Tipps, all had D-1 signees after '93 & they still had to battle & scratch to finish 3rd or 4th in the district. For CC to play tough the Shelbyvilles & Lawrence Co's etc. with the size & the numbers they have? I think Coach Scroggins is doing pretty well. If only he played in a district that was as conducive to his players talents as its is for CC football then the community would sing his praises.

Let's see pedo, CC played Marshall Co. (single A) I think and lost. Played S. Pitt, Woodbury twice, Moore Co., I do believe you said hardly the same teams Westwood played. Seems pretty familiar to me. Better check your schedule again. But they did beat the other AA teams listed here, if Moore is still AA. Does CC have any hope of dropping down to AA? If so, maybe he can dominate and be Coach of Year. /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" />

Excuse me, but I don't think I've seen any gold football trophies there either. Are you implying that CC football is dominating anyone? /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" />

Marshall CO is AA & is 21-4 & will probably go to the states. No shame there. CC has beaten Cannon, Warren, Tullahoma, Lincoln Co, Moore Co -1A. So what are you arguing there? Next, football finished 2nd this year, & has been in their regions top 4 at least 3 times under Price. CC's football region is not as strong as it's neighbors in 5A, where as girls hoops dist. 8-3A is loaded with strong teams so Coach Scroggins scheduling is pretty good to get the team non-dist. wins.

 

What is your fix Ladynred...besides getting rid of the coach? If its X's and O's I'd love to hear (read) it.

    • You haven seen much football if the Blackman vs Bowling Green game u speak of is the worst officiated game you have ever seen.  Everyone on here swears Blackman was cheated, but i just can not agree.  Rewatched it on youtube, and there are a couple Blackman fans near the camera that out to be ashamed of the crap that came out of there mouths.  I dont know much about Blackman, but i didnt get a very good impression of them having much class by there entrance to the field, and instead of running on to there sideline running to the other teams sideline to cut them off when they went to run to there sideline.  Then before much is even happened in the game fans near the camera swearing they are being cheated.  Seemed like a fairly good called game till Blackman started losing there composure.  Embarassing hearing the blacmn fans making fun of someone on the other team possibly getting hurt, and calling players on the other team a dumbass.  The reason they lost thatgame was because they gave that necarious fant kid a 5 yard cushion over, and over, and over, and everytime he would catch it and get another 7 after the catch.  3rd or 4th and 1 lets give the best player on the other team a 5 yard cusion, and let him catch it when we need a stop even though he has gotten 12 yards on that play repeatedly.  Then the last touchdown on 4th down was a completly different play, but great throw, and great route and catch by fant for the last td they did not defend it very well, and it would have been a blackman win if they make that 4th, and long stop, but they didnt cover the best player on the field very well, and he caught it with the closest player 3 yards away from him.  Just give Bowling Green credit for making the plays to win.  We look stupid constantly saying they got cheated.  They straight up got beat, but no shame,bowling Green had a heck of a team.  People just dont want to give any credit to the other team when they are beat especially when its out of state.  Ive talked alot of crap to fans of kentucky teams, but we get ridicilous too often on here.  I remember the Union City fans saying how they would run it down the other teams throat playing a kentucky team.  They claimed we will run it up the middle all night, and those early 3 yard gains will turn into 12 yard gains by the 4th quarter cause thats how we always wear other teams down, and always win.  They proceded to get there #### whooped 2 years in a row then dropped that team from there schedule, and i have to give those kentucky fans credit they called it before the first year they played.  They said we will beat Union City these 2 years, and they will not renew because Union City has done this in the past before.  Went to one of those games, and the other team ran defensive lineman in every few plays, and by the 4th quarter it was union city that was wore out, and there rushing game failed late.  Instead of giving the other team credit for stopping there run game late they cried that we was gassed after bragging that we always gas the other team out by the 4th they couldnt handle that another team smartly threw fresh bodies in most of the night, and kept there starters much fresher for late in the game.  They basically put backups in on half the plays, and settled with giving up alot of yards to keep the 1s fresh for the 4th.  Instead of giving them credit the excuses came well we where gassed if we would have played later in the season we would have won its hot, and early in the year, so thats why we lost its all just excuses.  It aint like there is a rule that says UC couldnt rotate some in on there oline, and rotate a couple running backs so there starters would b fresh for the end.  They got beat because the other team smartly used depth, plus they couldnt stop the other teams offense.  We cant give credit to the other team when we lose we must find an excuse mentality espececially if its an out of state team there is no way anyone from another state in paticular kentucky can be as good or better than us.  After just watching that Blackman game they just straight up got beat.
    • What’s sad Barney is the cards in the deck are stacked against them.  With the success the MAVS are having just down I-75, any talented players are heading that way. I always said what the Price twins did there was second to none, making the playoffs and winning a playoff game is the ceiling there. On a great year, maybe a q-final appearance but that is a big stretch.  Finding a coach there is very tough. I feel for the new coach, he’s in a very bad situation and I’m not sure he even realizes it. I understand he wants to be positive and have hope, but I don’t see them scratching a win. Maybe he will prove me wrong.  
    • I agree, 2A is the only class in thet state where the west side of the bracket is tougher, not taking anything away from Marion county at all but they should run that side for years to come
    • Should be a big week in Dayton coming up with the 100th anniversary of the Scopes Monkey Trial.
    • AE has a lot of new transfers and a very good incoming freshman class to mess with the current players.  That's why I'm saying don't sleep on AE.  Many are thinking they can't get back to their winning ways but I think this 2025 team will open a lot of eyes and let the state know, AE won't be an easy win anymore.
