Carolina, you asked me awhile back to give my two cents on Powell before the season began. To be honest, I didn't know what to make of this team because I really didn't see a go-to guy on the roster. I figured they would be in the top half of the district, but beyond that, I really didn't know. The Panthers are very well coached, and they are well-rounded with a number of key contributors, which makes them tough to defend. Long way to go, but I still think that Powell, OR, Halls, and Karns are all pretty good ball clubs, and they are all pretty even right now. Just look at Karns - 3 losses (Powell, Halls, OR) by a combined 5 points.

 

It'll be interesting to see how these 4 teams perform after Christmas.

 

Yea your right. WELL COACHED!!!! Fundamentally sound, unselfish, Patient, etc... That all goes back to coaching. I agree those are the best 4 teams right now, with Campbell Co. leading the second pack. I thought it was OR and then the rest fighting it out for 2-9, but I have to say, I still am going with OR, then Powell, then its still open for 3-9.

 

Its prolly Halls, Karns and CC, then I dont know about the bottom four. Maybe HVA, Clinton, Central, AC. Some of it will take shape after the first of the year im sure.

 

OR and Halls have definatley played the easiest district schedule, with Karns the toughest, already playing OR, Halls, and Powell. So karns could start a run of district wins, with Halls having to play OR twice, Powell twice, and CC twice. Powell will have to play Halls twice, and Karns and OR once more. Maybe a team like CC or HVA can take advantage and sneak into one of these top 4 spots?

 

Man, after writing this it occoured to me that theres alot of good Ball to go.

 

Ive seen them all now and Central and AC are in bad shape right now, not gonna say they cant win, but its unlikely they beat any of the top 4. HVA should be winning MORE!!!

I want somebody to explain to me how Powell has beaten OR both meetings? Don't give me that team crap either. Don't give me that Ogan crap either. After watching both games last night, I just can't s

Powell really played great the other night. I was proud of them. It could have been a little closer at the end especially if OR had hit their FTs, but OR could also have gotten blown out.

 

Powell is a good team without any real stars. They are a tough match-up because they have three or four kids who can really handle the ball well. That makes them hard to press and also hard to defend in the half court because they are really solid fundamentally and patient.

 

Looking forward to the Powell/Halls game on January 4.

 

mocs30, you are right. OR was able to turn them over a few times with the press, but they were very patient. That is the key to breaking the press. Even when breaking it, if the fast break wasn't there they pulled back and got into their offense. I don't really remember seeing them rush any shots. Also they had very good ball movement at the end of the game, not allowing OR to trap them. They are very well coached team. It going to be interesting come tournement time, with all the good teams.

Yep. Powell is the kind of team that can probably beat just about anybody, but they could also get beat up on the wrong night. Since Halls is supposedly improved over the past few years, the Battle of Emory Road should be exciting this year again for the first time since about 2007.

Thank you Powell! lol

I'm getting tired of saying, "yeah, Clinton plays them tough", I want a win dang it! Clinton played their worst game against Powell, I just thought they were off, maybe Powell is pretty good.

Travel to Campbell County tonight, and yeah, Clinton played them tough the first game, but looks like they have improved. We will see.

So here is my Wed morning commentary of the Halls AC game last night. Halls started the game in 5th gear, Stetson was hitting his shots. AC was not. Def was good and by the end of the 1st it was 18-2 Halls, and everyone thought it was gonna be a long night for AC. Randy decided to pull most of the starters for the start of the 2nd and IT ALL FELL APART FROM THERE!

 

Now I understand pulling back once the lead gets big, and getting minutes from your bench against a starting 5. BUT, we lost all of our momentum and went on damage control the rest of the night.

 

We play central again Thurs night at home, I hope we get on the gas and stay aggressive.

 

That is all.

      We could sure use some math teachers country wide. Ever go into a store or restaurant and the bill comes to $9.97 and you give them a ten dollar bill and 2 pennies because you wanted a nickle back and then the meltdown starts and the next thing two more people have to come and help figure it out and the place comes to a complete halt. I see this everyday and it's a sad representation of all these schools allowing these kids out the door to get shortchanged the rest of their life.

      Stars, I heard we were searching far and wide for some math teachers. Any chance their kids bench press or 40 times are getting checked? LOL I’ve heard good things from 825.

      I think it was expected. “Bad” luck I guess to get a couple difference maker QBs in the same class. I thought the decision was made a little early myself, but they were struggling offensively last year.  I assume the running quarterback alco had last year would be a senior this fall, and the transfer would start the following two years in addition to getting a ton of playing time this year. Maybe he waits two yrs, but I doubt it. The kid is good. So is the one who stayed.

      I'm from Cloudland and we've never played a sectional game.  We need to win tomorrow night to avoid that bus ride.  Us and north greene can play with you guys so I'm expecting good games whoever the matchup is.
