big 9 basketball

...Like I said, if you read this, fan or player, and don't try to do what it takes to fix this season, then don't hate on any team again. You can never call DB or Sciene Hill overrated, and you can't gripe about whatever is you guys gripe about with THS. And after tonight, you can't say anything to South about anything! Like I said, if you guys can't realize what potential you have on your team, then it doesn't bother me, it gives South an extra spot in the conference, but just make sure you don't get on here and hate on other teams who don't have your guys' problem.

 

I was beginning to think you took a walk about, glad to see you've returned. Work keeping you busy most nights? Which game will you be attending Friday night, Sullivan East @ Dobyns Bennett or Tennessee High @ Science Hill?

Yeah, I haven't been as active on here as I would have liked, but I made sure I made I posted tonight. I'll be going to Science Hill if I'm able to. It's not for sure yet, but that would be my game of choice.

Vannoy continues to astound me. Note to coachT readers: I am astounded.

 

 

I Agree. Vannoy may be the best player in the whole conference. He's scoring like higher than everybody else on every team I think.

ha ha ha. Well, I'm guessing this has to be a joke. He's killing them. He needs to quit playing this selfish basketball. Quit shooting EVERYTIME your hands get the ball. Yea, he may be scoring some points but how many shots does he take each game. I don't know why he can't see what he's doing to this team, but more importantly, I don't know why Coach Vaughn puts up with it.

[rebelrebelman]

I knew my Rebels had it in them! We weren't afraid of the DWD and we went in a took no prisoners. Central blew another game after beating DB. We aren't very good, at all, right now; yet we still won. I'm extremely proud of our guys. I know the Cougars weren't 100% but they should have had enough pieces to have beaten lowly South. Albright definately isn't going to give you anything that Devault can't. Devault trumps Albright! So does Taylor Winchell! Brown was slowed by ankle, but who doesn't have ankle problems these days! Roberts wasn't a factor. He had been shooting lights out. From the South side (great song by Moby) its real simple. We shot the ball unbelievably well. That's probably not going to happen again, so savor this night. They did take control of the post game tonight, as well, which is something South can build on, but the win tonight came down to shooting. I'm proud of South, and this can be our signature win. I'd love if we shot like that every game but hey, I'm a realist! But friends, here's the thing. Vannoy continues to astound me. Note to coachT readers: I am astounded. He never stops shooting. He never gets his team into the offense. He walks and mopes around. He doesn't hit his assignments on defense. Yet he still plays! And apparently the coach keeps the green light on for him. I imagine at halftime he goes around the room punching his teammates in the face. He's basically punching his team in the face by playing for himself. Tons of shots, little defense. The box score will tell you he scored 20 or 21, but it's the same old thing. Keeping his teammates out of rhythm and not playing defense. The bad thing for Cougar fans is he'll probably think "I had 20!" and keep on doing the same thing. Why do I keep going off about this? Because I'm sick of watching good teams falter (with the exception of tonight against my Rebs.) I'm sick of watching DB not show up against Central, I'm sick of THS having to escape against Boone, I'm sick of Central not being able to beat teams who are worse than them. DB has got to play with more intensity and find ways to keep feeding the post, cause shooting 3s isn't their game. THS may be just not very good. And Central has Vannoy playing selfish basketball. Science Hill has been the only 'rock' this season. I've gotta question the leadership of the Cougars. If you have a player who is hurting your team this badly, (maybe they're unaware of it, which is their own fault) you have to have your leaders stand up and say something about it. You can't keep your mouth shut, especially seniors, while you keep losing games. I cheer for South and the rest of the conference I'm impartial about. I don't care about who is who unless its South, but I can't stand watching a team who isn't maximizing its chances to win. If you're doing all you can and you still are losing, fine, but if you're losing and it can be fixed, then fix it! Fix it! The Central seniors need to step up and tell this junior to play the offense, and guard somebody on defense. Or maybe Vannoy will just keeping punching them in the face and jack up more shots. I like dark horse teams, and Central, after DB, looked like it could be a dark horse. It could have be one of those fun years in the big 9 where Central steals the conference. I was looking forward to that. They ruined the very next game. And the game after that (tonight). I blame Vannoy for his selfish play, but I also blame the seniors. I've praised Devault and Roberts because they've been great in the games I've seen, but I'm depraising their leadership. I know Central fans will read this, heck, maybe Vannoy or the players if they check this thing. Let this be my decree to all things holy: Central fans wanna hate on everybody, like DB or the Rebels in football season. Here's your chance to have a top team, to mock all those teams you hate on. Let the word spread like wildfire, Get everyone on the team on the same page. Get Vannoy to play within the offense, stop firing up shots, and defer to better shooters (Roberts and Brown) and post players (Devault, Winchell). Get your seniors to show some fire and take pride in their season instead of letting some junior come in and take their season hostage. If Central people don't read this and spread the word, and take pride in your team, then you ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HATE ON ANYBODY ELSE AGAIN. Personally, aside from my penchant for a dark horse, and my distaste for bad basketball, I don't care what Central does. I'm fine watching DB and Science Hill and South. But nobody spreads hate like Central fans, and I'm giving you this opportunity to back it all up. Like I said, if you read this, fan or player, and don't try to do what it takes to fix this season, then don't hate on any team again. You can never call DB or Sciene Hill overrated, and you can't gripe about whatever is you guys gripe about with THS. And after tonight, you can't say anything to South about anything!

If you saw the TH/DB game the other night you may want to change your venue and stay here to see DB/East. Much shorter trip and I think it will be a much better game. IMO The Hill will walk all over TH. If EAST is hot, this one may be a game to see.

this is true with any team, but from the way east has been the last 2 games it could happen but the dome is a hard place to play. i agree i think this will be the better of the 2 games friday night i will forgo the sh tn high game to see if the patriots have what it takes to be a top contenter. if db isn't ready and let them get open shots it could be another upset for east since everyone has them near to bottom of the big 9 in preseason picks.

Ain't gonna happen. DB wins this game by 20+ points.

Toppers will dominate the game against TN High, but not the score. A Roby Witcher team will not let it be a high scoring game. You would be better off coming see this game. DB's guards along with my man Ashlon will dominate the weak ball handling guards from East. I believe after Christmas the pre-season picks will come true, except everyone will be chasing the Hill.

i agee that game will not be a high scoring game might make the 60's but if your man ashlon and the rest of his crew thinks it will be a cake walk and don't come to play those little weak ball handling county guards that have help score 90 pts in the last 2 games with very few turnovers might just realize that this is the big 9 and anyone can win any night!!!!! and not just because you play for db will you win. i just hope those 3 city zebras will call a fair game if possible in he dome.
