Dawgfan88 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Although they fell short in their quest for a state title, the Lady Bulldogs have NOTHING to hang their head over. They got no mention as contenders for any sort of title in the pre-season, and got off to a rocky 3-6 start. However, they got it turned around, worked their way through a ton of injuries and sickness, and were on their way. First, they were co-champs of the conference with Cloudland and North Greene. Then they won the district over Cloudland. Then they won the region, again over Cloudland. Then came the sectional title, over Wartburg Central. Then the incredible thing, they won the school's first-ever girls state tournament game and advanced to the final four. These young ladies have secured a place in Hampton sports history, and I can't say enough how proud I am of them. Way to go Lady Dogs!

dog4life Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Coach Tolleys head will not be able to fit through the doors of Hampton Elementary Monday morning... His heart may not be able to because it will be filled with PRIDE. What a wonderful group of young ladies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldogblue05 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 What a season it has been for the Lady Bulldogs. Conference co champions, district champs, regional champions, sub state champs, final four at state. Plus the Lady Dawgs beat a very talented Lady Highlander team three times. Simply a phenomenal season for this team, coach Tolley and his staff. I know those girls and those coaches were disappointed yesterday at the Murphy Center but I hope they woke up this morning with a lot of pride and holding their heads up high. These ladies should have a feeling of accomplishment. Girls basketball at Hampton is traditionally a pretty successful program and this group took it to a level that no other team has before and that??™s really something to be proud of. Coach Tolley and his staff have done a great job all year. Our girls got better all year long and they play very hard and to me that??™s a credit to the coach as well as our players. The underclassmen and girls in the 8th grade have a chance to make a pretty special run in the next few years. Don??™t be surprised if another trip to the Boro??™ is in store for this program in the near future THANKS FOR A GREAT SEASON!!!!!!!!!! GO BULLDOGS!!!!!!!!!!!

oleagle Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Great year for girls basketball in Hampton. This has been a super year for all of our girl's basketball teams. Girls basketball in Hampton is on the way up. With the success of our elementay and high school teams I can see the girl's programs in Hampton putting together many state bound teams. Super job Coach Tolley for a fine season. I think the girls program is in good hands. Coach Tolley should get a good crop of player for the next four or more years to come. With the players he has now and the ones coming on, I see Hampton as a true contender. Seniors, I would like to thank each of you for all the hard work you put into Lady Bulldog basketball. I wish each of you the best in whatever path you may take in life. You may not realize it now but what you take from basketball can and will help you at some time. To all of the underclass players, you now have a taste of state basketball, get in the gym, on the track, and in the weightroom. The 2010 state tournament starts today.
