District 7A 2002-2003

[TNBballMan]

Sorry about my preseason picks for the district I had posted. I didn't intend on Celina being 2nd, I meant Clarkrange to be 2nd and Celina to be 4th. Sorry for the confusion.

[Guest duhhuh]

red boiling should be much improved and should easily run away with second place in the area and celina gave pickett all they wanted last year so they'll be third... that leaves clarkrange to take the title. pickett will be lucky to finish elegible for region tourney action... "crouch and aaron were great players" but the key word in that phrase is "were"!!!!!!

[fan45]

Thanks handyy. At least someone is seeing it my way. aaron and crouch beat thompson and greene last year. what else is to prove? we'll see who'll be taking home the district title..yeah, RBS is a powerhouse

[Guest duhhuh]

last year was just that....LAST YEAR!!!!! beside aaron and crouch choked in the biggest game of their lives!!!! give green and thompson that chance when they are seniors and see what they do!!!!!!!!!!

[handyy]

How could you even say that they choked, that is a joke.

Yeah they got beat by halls in the STATE TOURNEY. While Westmoreland whom they beat pounced on your head. Dont talk about choking, til you make it past the first game of the region,(i am assuming that you are from clarkrange as much as you idol them).

[Guest duhhuh]

live in the now, man!! last year is just that, THE PAST!!!!!!!! Unless crouch and aaron stay back ANOTHER year then pickett must be content to eat clarkrange dust!!!

Nathan and John were very good players and they will be missed alot but there were other players on the Pickett County team. Brent Smith will have Pickett ready to go so don't count them out. Clarkrange will be tough because of their athletic ability and RBS should be in the top three with their athletes. The loss of Heady will hurt some. It will weaken the bench a little. Should be an interesting season. Celina will also be very competative.

Bulldog23 you are exactly right, the loss of Matt Heady from the team, in my opinion, hurt them badly. You were looking at a starting post man there and he was one of the biggest assets to the team. Now that he is out of the question, Mark McClure goes from strictly playing to being a wing/post player. He has only had 1 year experience in the post and that was back in 8th grade and he is now a senior. And since he is not a strength powerhouse, that side will definitely be the "weakside post". That will hurt in crunch time.

Heady will be a big loss,but also the loss of sr.Garrett Hudson who will be missed inside,the coach has been asking Matt to rejoin the team.Seems there are a lot of players besides onlyone that needsto be asked;

[TNBballMan]

Yes muffin, you are right. Garrett Hudson will be a loss to the team also. He was not a leading scorer for the team, but he was the most aggressive. He wouldn't hesitate to take a charge or fight for the ball. He could nail free throws and get many rebounds. Coach Owens made the mistake of not putting Devan Turner on the team also when he tried out. That boy can break a press better than anyone that I've ever seen around here and he is a great ball handler and would've been the best person at point guard.

RBS is in need of 2 assistant coaches also. Christy Turner gave up the 2nd assistant job to concentrate on her elementary team. And Heath Hagan moved to an elementary school in Lebanon to teach PE and coach. The loss of Hagan will hurt the Junior Varsity this year.

[muffin]

Coach Hagan was the best J.V.coach in the district last year,he should have been offered the head coaching job,because

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

R.B.S.should have gave the head coaching job to Heath Hagan.
