Good to see LA take control of its own destiny. However, I am still saddened that we have been reduced to getting excited about escaping district games with a win and narrowly winning the district championship. That is assuming we win it. :popcorneater:

There's one thing that you don't have to be saddened about. We haven't been reduced to losing to a single A team recently. :thumb:

I am saddened by the continued negative comments debbie downer. Millers record-win pct is better than melton's this year. besides a win is a win isnt it and if memry serves me rite, LA has not been blowing out cannon or upperman on a regular bases. smith county is doing a fantastic job in dist play. maybe you should get on the train that truly enjoies watching the kids play inspite of your political views. :idea:

Did you seriously bring up win-loss records & win percentage? I won't get into the whole political thing again. Based on pure coaching Melton was the best. Anyone and everyone knows that. No point in bringing all that up again. I'm not going to do the homework for you, but go back and tally the margin of victory against district opponents while Melton was coaching and let me know what you find out.

 

If saying we are under-achieving makes me a downer, then I don't care to carry that title. I enjoy the game of basketball more than most. It is everyone's political views that have messed it up for these kids.

That is true. Losing to Smith Co. is just as bad though, considering they have been beat 3 times this year by a single A team. No shame in being proud of the victories though.

I believe if you'll check the records, you'll find that Smith Co. and LA have something in common. Their losses to single A teams were under their prior coach. NO single A losses by either team since the coaching changes. :D You're right about one thing though. There is no shame in being proud of ANY victory. I'm proud of, and proud for, these young men as long as they play hard and try to win. Don't you think it's time we put the bitterness behind us,swallowed just a little bit of our pride and had something good to say about these young men, without adding sarcasm to every post? :thumb:

I seriously did and did politics cause the kids lose all those games? melton has had nothing but pure talent and now there are no dunns, wests, smiths tj or todd. but i do think he was a good coach but its not the same this season. who is the leader on this team. coaches cant make leaders thats sumthing that your born with. this team has talentbut nobody is taking the team on their back like those mentioned have dunn in the past. are you on the train or not debbie

GREAT POST :thumb: I have great respect for Melton as a person and coach and im sad he is gone. I also have great respect for Miller as a person and I think he will earn my respect as a coach "Pleased so far". This is a different team than we've had in the past, its not a dominent team, wasnt under either coach. That is not due to the coaching or we would have beaten JC. Whats done is done so please for the sake of Huit, Melton, Hill, and Eldridge lets give these men our full support as every game is one closer to their last. This team can still make some noise!

Smith Co. will fade. Trust me on that one. I did a little homework. Melton vs. Cannon Co. 10 wins and ZERO losses. Avg margin of victory against Cannon=25 ppg. Melton vs. Upperman 12-2. Avg margin of victory= 12 ppg. Edited by sportster90

Thanks for the compliment. I didn't know the make up of the team THIS team had changed.

Yep, the make up of the teams from the stats you're referring to has changed. :thumb: Let me explain it to you in case you don't understand. :idea: Players who graduate, can no longer play with the team. LA has graduated several players that helped create the stats you're referring to. Now can you understand how the makeup of this team has changed or would you prefer someone draw you a picture? :mrgreen: Since we're having this intelligent discussion: You never did tell me on the other thread if you "can" them coats and ties the same way you "can" fruits and vegetables. :lol:

    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
