Was a great tourney, well run and class act. Temple's coach really should have took his team to Bradley to play and pressed them but Coach Cottrell ran a great tourney.

 

I was at the game. Interesting comments on Temple's coach. What I saw was his team press the first half, not at all in the second half. Also the starters were pulled midway through the third quarter with the exception of one. And the reason he kept one starter in was because only nine girls dressed out so he had no other choice but to keep one starter in along with the four available reserves.

He also played those reserves the rest of the third quarter and the entire fourth quarter. And played zone the entire fourth quarter. What else would you have him do? It isn't like this is the first time Hixson got beat like that this season.

There's also something to be said for getting a team in shape and getting their feet back under them after a lengthy holiday break with a tough schedule looming right around the corner. In addition, perhaps Hixson would have been better off if Temple had kept pressing. Hixson scored 14 points in the first half when Temple was pressing and scored only 6 in the second half (0 in the third quarter) when Temple wasn't.

I may be wrong, but I believe Temple only got 11 points from its starters in the second half, too, all in the third quarter.

Perhaps you feel the way you do because you are dating the coach.

And its not as if Temple is any good this year. Geez. I believe they were 4-4 coming into today's game weren't they? With a 40-something point loss to CSAS to boot. And Temple was 11-17 a year ago, I believe, and is minus two key players (both posts) from that team.

Nobody comes over and tells you how to keep stats during the game. You perhaps should maintain the same operating procedure when it comes to your views on opposing coaches.

Was a great tourney? That's past tense, meaning that the tourney is already over. I may be mistaken but I believe the tourney runs for three days, not two, with the final day being Tuesday.

    • I believe that was last year. I was interested in the Jones vs Baker comment, so I went back and looked at GC. I am not a fan of either nor am I a baseball guru. This looks like to me the duel was not close and if the errors would not have been made Eagleville would have won. I assume you are a little biased. I do think your mph for Jeffcoat and Baker must be from last year.  Baker-85 pitches 67 strikes. 5.2 innings, 5H, 1BB, 0ER and 7K's. 3 errors  Jones- 78 pitches 37 strikes. 4 innings, 2H, 5BB, 0ER and 1K. 1 error   Adams and the UH kid are really good as well. What about South Pitt and Oakdale? I heard they have some good ones. 
    • I hate this for all the kids in the program and fans alike. I can't recall of anything like this before in my lifetime but I'm sure it isn't a first. After criminal investigations are complete and the TSSAA looks into this the program it will be facing Nuclear Winter for some time to come. It's always the innocent left behind that end up paying the price for something someone else has done. I'm sure the transfer portal will be very active in Clinton over the summer months. How could you find a good coach worth his salt that would take on a situation like this not knowing what will happen. 
    • I’ve seen Jeffcoat in person twice and he was 84-87 both times and the one time I saw Baker he was low 80’s, he actually got out dueled by Jones from ER in that outing.
