leader

[bball1]

I agree, i think the buckelew girl could be a heck of a leader. but cleveland staff will never figure it out. go bradley!

[GottaHaveHeart]

Not sure she has mentality to be team leader....Still disapears sometimes in critical times of games because she doesnt get ball....Needs to improve on defense...Dont react to Coach P-M screaming during games...Great shooter when she gets the touches....

[bball1]

yes she has the mentality, but doesnt get the chance to do alot of things, PMputs to much emphasis on rogers, thats why the team will fall short, especially against bradley

Buckalew is a great player- she will step up when she is needed- You cant gripe about not getting the ball- there are other ways to get the ball besides passes- try some steals and get in there and rebound-put back up those missed shots of the ones doing all the shooting!You will only be what you want to be!

[tnwareagle]

That deserves another good mark, Peacemaker. Players will be what they want to be no matter what the others around them do. How bad do they want it?

TO: Peacemaker

We seem to use the word "great" too loosely. Don't think "great" is a adjective to attach to Buckalew yet. She has a lot of ....here we go..."potential"....and has shown flashes of being able to deliver, but "great"...Naw...NOT Yet...Take your team to another level...however you need to do it...doing those things you mentioned...THEN ...we will attached "great"...Right now...lets stay with "above average"....with potential...

[peacemaker]

Its all an opinion- I think she is great! Great in a lot of ways.....................it doesn't all have to pertain to "the game" persay! For one she is great for having had the confidence and security to go to CHS- "knowing" who else was there and how it would be, and she is still hanging in there- I really respect that! She is obviously determined to make a name for herself, despite what coaches and other players do- Thats what it is all about!

you are right peacemaker, Buckelew is a great player and such a nice human being, I think the coaches are pushing the wrong player over at CHS, and i think it will show itself again like it did last year, especially tournament time. WISHED WE HAD BUCKELEW. GO BRADLEY

[GottaHaveHeart]

Ok...Peacemaker....Buckalew is a talent..I agree....but I guess its easier to put up with different situations when you are dealing with family...I'm not sure..but I think that the "knowing who else was there" you were refering to...and Buckalew are cousins in some sort of way.....interesting !!!!

[bball1]

Yes they are cousins,but CHS has alot of problems, I think coaching is one of them, and the other ,well, lets just say, that anyone who has seen some of the games should be able to tell what the problem is. GO BRADLEY

[peacemaker]

Makes perfect sense to me- Good talent runs in families!

Can you tell me BBALL1 what you would do if you were the coach at Cleveland? I'm sure PM would LOVE to hear what you'd do. You seem to be an expert in the area. You are also an expert in the breaking down of a person you don't even know personally. Give the girl a break - she's brought the team a LONG LONG LONG way in only 3 years.
