Tri-County Seven Week #11

Recommended Posts

The season is rapidly winding down. The next two weeks will be exciting as our teams shuffle for District Tournament seeds. There are no changes this week.

1. Elizabethton- (AA) (17-3)-  Beat Johnson County by 52.  I believe that this team is a real gold ball contender.  The Lady Cyclones visit Unicoi Co. Tuesday, Host Sullivan East Thursday in an important league game, and visit Johnson Co. Friday.

 

2. Cloudland- (A) (22-3)-  Beat Volunteer by 13 and Providence Academy by 31.  Early season home conference losses to North Greene and South Greene can be avenged this week as the Lady Landers visit North Greene Friday and South Greene Monday. Murfreesboro has to be the goal.

 

3. Hampton- (A) (14-9)-  Whipped Unaka and University High to get back on track.  Should win two this week at Johnson County Monday and at Unaka Friday.  I think that they can reach the Region semi-finals.  Going further than that will be a challenge.

 

4. Happy Valley - (AA) (12-13)-  Lost to Sullivan South at home by 9.  Should beat North Tuesday and have an important game on Warrior Hill with Sullivan East on Friday.  Making the Region is not guaranteed with Elizabethton, East, South, and Unicoi Co. in the District.  They do have a solid chance though. 

 

5. Unicoi Co.- (AA) (11-12)-  Drubbed by 16 at East.  Host Elizabethton Tuesday and visit Sullivan South Friday for two important league games.  Making the Region is a good possibility, though no guarantee.

 

6. Unaka- (A) (5-18)-  Coach Wright's Creekers have had a tough season.  They lost by 30 to Hampton and had a winnable game with Hancock Co. snowed out Saturday.  It gets no easier at South Greene Tuesday and hosting Hampton Friday.  It will take a huge upset to reach the Region.

 

7. Johnson Co.- (AA) (6-15)-  Swamped at Elizabethton by 52 and beat Sullivan North by 17.  The short-handed Lady Longhorns face a brutal week hosting Hampton Monday, visiting South Tuesday, and hosting Elizabethton Friday.  It has been a long cold winter in Mountain City.

Just an observation. All the Lady Cyclones do is continue to win, yet they dropped another spot in the AP poll (to 3rd) this week.  I realize polls are basically only for conversation, but it's hard to follow the voter's rationale sometimes. The teams in the top two spots are worthy of the ranking so it's all good. The end of season tournament will settle things like always. Go Cyclones!

I hope it motivates the Lady Cyclones and puts a chip on their shoulder.  When they play with intensity they are awesome.  Add some extra "we will show you" attitude and get out of their way.  I look forward to possible match-ups with Grainger and Cannon County.  #3 may have something to prove.

District 1-A tournament appears to be wide open.

It could be 2 things.  Either we are just playing that bad and the real cloudland will emerge come tourney time or it could be that North and South Greene really are that good and they have the Landers number.  Its hard to figure when you look at the teams they have beaten this year.  Creekwood at 22-3, Volunteer and 22-6, Sullivan East, Sevier County, and Gate City.  North and South Greene are defensive minded teams.  North Greene is the most patient team with the basketball I have seen.  It could be that the match ups are ill for the highlanders.  They are gonna have to be mentally tougher against opponents who are going all out for the victory.  Bad decisions and frustration have reared their ugly heads with this bunch several times this year.  Hopefully, they'll get in tournament mode and not lay down and call it a season.

What I am surprised about is that cloudland lost to north Greene and south greene at home. This league is just pretty tough this year. I still think any of the top 4 teams could win the district and then a different team could win the region. Would not surprise me if it was any of them.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
