DeKalb Co. Season Thoughts

[zst]

LA loss the big kid Logan they also so loss Beaty and Reeder they miss Reeder bad because he done all the dirty work got nobody to do it this year they more to basketball than shooting three

i think this is the year dekalb wins the district championship and goes to state. They have everyone coming back. With Sonni Young and Stephen Howell being both one of the best players in the district, its going to be hard to beat them

 

 

You must be joking right?!? LMAO

No? Really, if we can do decent in the district and region tournament, there's a very good chance of making it to state. If you look at what substate game we could have(Howard?) We DO have a chance at making it, even though the Chattanooga area teams are strong. No one's saying that LA can't. Remember, two teams from the same district can make it to state.

That being said, neither of us has a chance to win state. CPA will most likely walk away with the Gold ball again...

[SportsWatcher931]

I'm not saying that they can't make it but its similar to the football team in that its hard to bust on the scene and just do it one year. I think their guard play has to be better than last year to make it that far. The reason no one says that LA can't make it to state is that they done it multiple times. Correct me if I'm wrong but DC hasn't even been to the Sub-State in 20 years or something. Talent is there but as you said in another post.......

[SportsWatcher931]

Agreed both DC or LA can't hang with CPA this year IMO.

[dctiger]

I do feel that we've been right on the cusp for the past two years. Both years we've lost one game short of substate, and I feel that we can break through this year. I guess that's the difference I'm seeing between the basketball and football team. This basketball season has been a couple of years in the making...

Basketball is MUCH different than football due to the number of players on the court. Breaking thru only requires one guy to get hot for a couple games and you can find yourself at state. Winning a gold ball is a completely different proposition.

 

This team will play hard. It would be nice if it were a bit more balanced and less dependent upon the 3. That actually reminds me of our football team's reliance on the pass. IF we can become a bit more balanced, then I would say we have as legitimate a shot as anyone in the region to make it to state. Without balance, it will require someone getting hot at the right time for two to three games. We don't have a dominant playmaker who can take over a game so getting the hot man the ball can be more difficult for DC than someone with a college prospect point guard.

 

I think our team can be good and potentially really good defensively. It should be a fun year.

Can someone please tell me who livingston has other than ramsey and mccoin? They lost THREE starters! They won't be no where near as good as they have been. Doesn't mean they won't contend but talent wise their not as good

[dctiger]

Eldridge played well in the post last year as a freshman. He'll be starting as will Hayes, who I'm sure is a great athlete on the court.

[tigerfans2013]

They will be quick

[dctiger]

DC beat Warren tonight 60-55 (I think). Very sloppy game. Our D was lackluster once again and we had several technical fouls. I thought Warren looked better than they did over the weekend, though. Guess that's how rivalry games go..I think gritty, close games may be better for us in the long run, though.
