Talented but young.  Should win the conference, and at least get to a regional semifinal game.

Post game is the weakness.  Twins give them a chance to win every game they play.

Early season matchup with Science Hill will be a good measuring stick.

Is this the 'limestonecove' I've grown to love? I'd say this is a fair assessment of the Lady Cyclones.

I have not seen them yet, though I know they beat Chuckey-Doak by 11 on the road and beat Cherokee by 43 at home.  Sarah Bradley is a returning starter at the point and she should provide senior leadership on and off the court.  The sophomore Marosite twins (Kayla and Kelci) will man the wings and have multiple offensive and defensive abilities.  I am not sure who is starting inside.  I know that Megan Pietrowski, Sarah Robinson, and Kyra McCrary are three juniors with a good mix of height, strength, and athleticism.  Sophomore Emily Schubert is 6'1" and could also be a factor in the post.  Sophomore guards Melenda Perry and Emily Kiser provide quality point and wing depth.  I have not seen freshman guard Haley Burleson, but I have been told that she is the real deal.  By my count, that is 10 girls that can play.  I believe that this should be another very good team as the young posts develop.  A deep post season run is a good possibility.....Go Cyclones!

I agree I think Elizabethton is the front runner of their conference. They are much different than they were last year IMO,I think their biggest flaw is their inside game and ability to rebound the basketball.But on the brightside I can see a leaps and bounds improvement out of the Robinson girl. She's very athletic,can knock down the 15 footer and has a quick first step when she puts it on the floor from the foulline. But they have no need to worry they are going to be pretty strong I just dont think you will be able to tell how strong until after Christmas. Well after assessing all the teams in the conference I am going to make my predictions for this year and I may be eating crow come February so someone might have to get me a big glass of water to wash it down :rolleyes:

I will take a stab at the final standings just for fun:

 

1. Elizabethton

2. Sullivan South

3. Happy Valley

4. Sullivan East

5. Unicoi County

6. Johnson County

7. Sullivan North

 

Unicoi is the toughest call for me.  With Laughren I would have placed them 3rd.  Without her, I am placing them 5th for now.

The young girls for Elizabethton are not playing as a team right now.  I believe that is a coaching thing.  What always made those girls special is they put five on the floor that you had to stop and the coaching staff has let that slip away and are not utilizing all of there weapons.  I believe in a pressure situation that EHS coaches fail.  The Science Hill game and last year state playoffs show that.

The cyclone girls are playing good basketball and are inproving every game and are going to be a tough team to beat come tournament time.I know any thing can happen but I don't see any team in our conference beating them but that's why they play the games.I haven't seen South play yet so they may give us some trouble.Go Cyclones

Big test for elizabethton will be their upcoming matchup vs science hill. Unless the refs dictate the game should be a very intriguing matchup with science hill playing very well

It will be tough beating SH and they have already beat us earlier in the year.We will have to play our best to beat them in January.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • 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.
