[11/30/13] Jackson County vs. Van Buren

[UCSportsFan]

Van Buren played a good game with good effort.  Quarter scores were 1st quarter JC 19 - VB 14; 2nd JC 36 - VB 25; 3rd JC 50 - VB 35; 4th JC 59 - VB 52.  Yes JC ran about 4 different offensive plays during the game, no JC didn't press in the 2nd half, but they were not successful with their press in the first half.  Jim Brown seemed concerned in the fourth quarter when he took a time out and gave his players a good chewing.  Coe fouled out in the fourth quarter, how often does that happen?  VB may not be on everyone's radar, but they can make waves. They have the potential and when and if each player gets on their top game it could be a bad day for any team.  VB is a young team with only 1 senior and 2 juniors on the team.  Wouldn't say its a team to take for granted.

 

They played hard and i will not take anything away from them and will not comment further on the game other than to say that this was a vanilla as you will ever see from JC and the game was never in doubt at any point. No need to beat a team by 40 then they won't play you again. VB girls hustled all night long and played hard and i can see them winning some games in the district and region they are in. I wish them the best of luck on their season!!

Speaking about teams not wanting to play JC, what is the story with Upperman not being on our schedule this year? I consider that a rivalry game.

They dropped us, its my understanding they didn't want to play our girls this year and have two more losses on the schedule. Its a shame thats for sure as the gate is always good and it was a big rivalry game!
