VOLUNTEER GIRLS AND SULLIVAN NORTH

[outkast3000]

As a parent of one of the girls you have listed, I really don't think this is your job to tell these girls what they need to work on. THAT IS COACH MYERS JOB. Why do you want to cause problems within our team? It seems to me the girls get along great and HOPEFULLY they do not read coacht. My advice to you is work at home with your own child to improve her skills and we will work with our girls at home on their skills that THAT COACH MYERS has told them to work on.

I didn't realize that post would be consider so negative! Not to offend but I thought this was a message board that worked off free speech, maybe I should go back and read the fine print. I shouldn't have mentioned the girls by name,sorry. But then how do you refer to each player at point #109, at guard #901 and posting down low #999. Not trying to cause problems with that team hint(GOOD LUCK AND GO LADY FALCONS). Also I will take your advice,but I don't have kids.

Not a problem with this post, but just don't hide behind it and act like your from the outside looking in when you are within, own up to it, be honest all the way, but I will never debate issues with our own team, maybe opponents, but for this group of girls every girl on VHS varsity and JV are all class acts, these Junior and Seniors have been through more than any high school team should ever have to go through.

 

Not hideing behind anything, the post is out there for everyone to read. Sorry that you"Surge" and Falconfan84 were offended. Surge you don't know me and I don't know you. All I know is "Surge" honestly all the way.

 

My apology in advance for next post.

Both Sullivan North and Volunteer have been down for years. Volunteer has been a little more competitive, especially when they were in the AA league, but still never won any titles and rarely advanced out of the district. Now that they are in the AAA ranks, they must compete with Dobyns-Bennett, Science Hill, Tennessee High, Daniel Boone, and Sullivan Central. I would say sixth is the highest place that they could achieve this year. North will be fighting with Johnson County and West Greene to stay off of the bottom of the AA league. I would love to see both programs enjoy some success, but program building takes time, talent, coaching, community support, money, and committment. It does not happen overnight, but it will be interesting to see if progress is being made.

 

I couldn't agree more with your asessment of both teams. The thing about this game is its going to give one of these teams a little confidence to start the season. I have to go with Volunteer at this point and being at home this could be a 20-25 point game if not more. North just doesn't have any weapons: poor in the post and point positions. Volunteer will be stronger in these positions and in shooting in addition to having more experience...

Who is in the Volunteer Christmas tournament? I just saw the Lady Cyclones schedule and saw we were in it.

Since we already play Volunteer and Boone at the Happy Valley tournament, and play Crockett and North twice in-season, I hope Elizabethton can draw a different opening round foe.

May be a little closer, just heard 2 guards for Volunteer may not be availble. One has hurt ankle and other is sick, Still Volunteer should prevail. Go Falcons!!!

Saw where North lost to University High last night by 15. Maybe having one game under their belt could make it a little closer as you think...I still think Volunteer will win this one "comfortably".

Congradulations to Coach Myers and the Lady Falcons on their win last night. Tonight will probably give more of a "see where you stand" game against Unicoi....

Where we stand is not looking good. We might have won one scrimmge, score aginst North did not reflect true game and we should not have lost to Unicoi. We were beat tonight by two girls. One of Unicoi's and one of ours. This is a team sport.

Early returns indicate Volunteer will be mediocre at best and pretty bad at worst. Unicoi Co. beat them by 15 and it was pretty much the Ali Gardner show (22 points and 19 rebounds). A good team does not let one player beat them. Gardner is good and Unicoi Co. has a rich tradition, but they have to fight to stay in the top three of the AA league this year. Volunteer may have to fight to stay off the bottom of the AAA league.

That's what I meant by one of theirs, she should not had those numbers against the combination of 3 post / forwards we had in the game at any one time. By one of ours, until we have someone on floor that will execute plays instead of dribbling till they get in trouble then forcing bad passes I am afraid your assesment will hold true.

Well here we go, I guess? Coach Meyers has had a chance to be with his new team of LADY VOLUNTEERS. What does he think after leaveing Va.? Does he have them ready to play on Friday night? Offense (check), Defense (check), starters (????). My pick:

 

1: McFarland (point-guard)- Moves the ball quickly, not selfish, and has varsity level experience. from what i hear.

2: Porter (shooting-guard)- Very fast, can shoot the long ball, against a zone defense, and has varsity level exp.

3: Price (guard)- Handles pressure good, can shoot the long ball as well, could have a great game, it's all up to her.

4: Lindholm (guard)-Quick and never say die attitude. Good learner and makes things happen. Watch the turnovers.

5: Walker (Center) I think that's her last name. Clean up the boards! You will know when it's your time to shoot.

 

Try running there legs off with the fast -break in the open court. If you have to run off screens to breakdown the middle and get inside of the paint for a quick jumpshot, because of the zone defense ( You probably will see first before they man up), set your pix hard and let them know that you are here to play. KEEP THE BALL MOVING,YOUR GUARNTEED A EASY BASKET!!!

 

Switch it up when they do start to play man-2-man and start feeding it inside:

1: Huddle (point-guard)- Great passer, breaksdown 1-on-1 defense, and can get it inside. Work on that defense.

2: Porter/alternate Anderson (Shooting guard)-When you need a 3 to bring you back or keep you futher ahead. watch your passes.

3: Odell/alternate Adkins( Forward) Both physically strong and can be of force on the offensive/defensive boards.

4: Walker (Small Forward) Post up underneath and let them feed you(your turn to shoot). Clean up the boards strong

5: Gilliam (Power Forward) Great player, good moves to the basket, will bring her "A" game for this season.

 

Try going with the height advantage, see if it plays to your favor. First look off each pass is to the inside player posted on the blocks.

Who ever starts, it's not when you play. It's what you contribute when you do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

GOOD LUCK AND GO LADY FALCONS!!!

 

you got to be kidding! are you a coach or are you one of those fans that wishes they were a coach and thinks it's easy to coach from the bleachers? you sound like you should go to college and get a degree!
