Tri-County Seven

Despite some requests to do otherwise, the only change I have this week is at the top. Hope everyone stays healthy through the holiday tournaments and has a Merry Christmas!

 

1. Cloudland A (10-2)- Home win in overtime over Unicoi County earns the Lady Landers the top spot. I believe they will hold on to it for a long time. This team is a contender for the Single A gold ball.

 

2. Unicoi County AA (8-2)- Interesting rematch at Chuckey-Doak Monday. Lady Devils spanked the Lady Knights 71-38 the first time.

 

3. Elizabethton AA (5-5)- This team has evened their record at 5-5 and are starting to gel. Guard depth is still an issue, but the top seven players are solid. I do not see many more losses coming.

 

4. Hampton A (6-2)- Have done nothing to deserve being moved down. Actually they are really playing well and I believe they are more physical and better defensively than Unaka right now.

 

5. Unaka A (7-4)- Nice win over Sullivan East, but East is not a good defensive team. Have a chance to prove something at Unicoi County Tuesday.

 

6. Happy Valley AA (6-5)- Lost 34-60 to Hampton. Are beating the teams they should beat, but do not have a good win yet.

 

7. Johnson County AA (1-8)- Crushed 24-60 by Elizabethton. Wins are going to be few and far between until they find some players that can score consistently.

I will go out on a limb and say Cloudland by 22 @ Unaka and by 29 to 35 at Cloudland. Hampton and Cloudland match up better than Unaka and Cloudland. Although I believe if Unaka shoots the ball well at home I think they could give Hampton a fit. I do believe Unaka has improved quiet a bit but their inconsistency is the only thing that worrys me in the conference.

Id say your post is spot-on. Those 'Lander girls can play and although Im quiet fond of that Wilson girl (she's just gonna keep getting better), Ill be hoping my Lady DOGS pull out the W when they meet :thumb:

 

BTW, like the profile name :D

I know very catchy :mrgreen: Between the post play of Rhodes and Wilson and the sharp shooting of the Clarke girl I see Hampton having alot of problems guarding Cloudland. However when Dorthy shoots the ball well and the post players are rebounding and getting scrap points along with the other guards getting a few buckets here and there they are very tough. But I think the key is if Cloudland jumps out on Hampton early then it's pretty much a done deal,But if Hampton can contain Cloudland and force them to take bad shots and not let them have 2nd chances on offense then I think this could be a good series both home and away but I will throw a prediction out there just for the heck of it.

 

Cloudland-65

 

Hampton-45 @ Cloudland

 

Cloudland-58

 

Hampton-40 @ Hampton

The ladies are at Watauga tonight. The Pioneers are pretty good. They remind me a little bit of elizabethton only not quite as good. I'm definitely looking forward to the challenging district games ahead. Being pushed to the limit every time you step on the floor prepares you best for the state tournament. Play loose. 8-)

Unicoi County beat Unaka 79-58 at Unaka last night. The Lady Rangers are just not physical and defensive-minded enough right now to beat Unicoi, Elizabethton, or Cloudland. However, they are good enough offensively to beat a lot of other teams this year. I am most curious about how they will match-up with Hampton. My gut tells me Hampton will beat them by about 12 at Hampton and by 6 on the Creek.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
