Manassas nor Humboldt will go undefeated. Manassas won't go undefeated because they play in Memphis. Humboldt won't go undefeated because Lake Co. will get them atlest once and also their coaching isn't good enough to do what Union City did.

 

Even though you say Humboldt coaching is not that good, I still think one of them will go un-defeated. I do agree that the game with Lake county tuesday will determine if they have a shot at going un-defeated. Manassas still has some big tournaments to play in but looking at their schedule, I don't think a Memphis team will beat them. G.W. Carver might have a chance since the last game went to the wire.

What is the purpose of argueing about last years game, this is a new year and whether Manassas is better than Humboldt will be settled on the court. Everybody is talking about what the other is going to do( as fans) but the players are the ones that will play the game. Who knows what will happen but anything can happen on any given night with that said, let's not talk about the players on either team. I think this season is going to be a very interesting year, either Manassas or Humboldt will go undefeated this year & win the gold ball.( MARK MY WORDS)

 

 

If someone going undefeated its Humboldt!!! Manassas will not go undefeated with that schedule!!! Humboldt schedule very soft!!!

That's exactly what I was getting at with him. Playing in Memphis every night and in rural West TN is 2 different levels of play. I don't even think Humboldt will go undefeated. Someone will catch them on a bad night.

A GOOD rural West TN team, such as last years DC team or last years UC team would come out of Memphis with alot more losses than what they received.

People figure "Oh, Ridgeway (or Craigmont or Hamilton) is down this year they, ain't going back to state, they ain't no good" but yet those teams are ALOT better than people think and most of those Memphis teams would destroy rural West TN teams. Not too often does rural West TN see a team the caliber of last year's Ridgeway team or this year's Briarcrest and White Station teams.

Yes, Humboldt is good this year, but let them play a weekend tournament down in Memphis against the better Memphis teams and I'll bet they'll be asking Coach Boykins to get them back to Humboldt quickly.

GC I totally agree. You can catch an average team like Oakhaven or Kingsbury or Whitehaven that will run you out of the gym if you're not ready. Their is good basketball being played all over the state, but sometimes when I'm at the state tourney and I read the media guide I see records like 35-1, and then actually see the teams play. I'm puzzled to the point like who did they beat to get here...nobody

I've learned that over the years as I've watched. Your second sentence is what I was trying to get at. That also shows why Memphis wins alot at the state tournaments. State is normally a cakewalk for some of the Memphis teams. For instance, I was at state last year watching the Ridgeway/White Station game. Some guy told me they were not far from each other at all and were in the same Region and that was like the 4th or 5th time they had played each last season and then they play each other for a state championship. Single A, Manassas steam rolled to the finals until they played UC. AA, Mitchell cruised to the finals to get beaten by a more disciplined Knox Fulton team that was loaded with players.

You just might be surprised of his knowledge of basketball if you actually knew who he was. That, itself, has prevented me from arguing with Legend, lol.

Heck for I while there I even thought he might be a little loco /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> ....then I saw them play /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Should have read some of the UC/Manassas threads last year....WHOA!!!!!!!!!

    • Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.
    • Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2. 
    • It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming. 
    • No movement on Chester? South Gibson? Gibson County?
    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
