Before tonight, I kind of felt sorry for York and their suspension. After tonight, they deserve it. They showed their true colors with intentional and technical fouls. I believe they wanted to see how many Cannon players could be sitting at home during tourney time like themselves. Coach seemed to be encouraging the behavior as well. Sad to watch teams fall apart like that.

Its a sad situation. They played a little dirty at LA throwing a few elbows. I also look at it from their side, it would be frustrating to see teams with more political pull get no punishment for the same offenses they committed. Now I don't condone it or think it is right. They are probably being extra rebellious because of it. They are in bad need of guidance from their leaders. They are still impressionable teens that have been discriminated against by T$$AA.

I will agree with you. Definitely no leadership or guidance! The really sad thing is that team has the talent to be a top district contender.

DCTIGERFAN this is a boy's basketball thread and your boy's basketball team 2014-2015 is bad. It gets old hearing your posts after every loss, you should expect them to lose by now, I know the rest of us do. The best stat to use in this thread is your 2-8 record in district play (probably 2-9 after tonights scores are posted).

 

Watched the CC vs. York game tonight. CC was up by 30 at one point until York decided to get physical resulting in an intentional foul followed by technical fouls on the head coach and assistant. I can see why they are banned from the tournament. Final score did not reflect the blowout.

 

As far as the discussion earlier about the best player in the district, I will give credit to Blevins, he is a good player who can shoot well from the outside for a big man. I can't say much about Eldridge, I know he is a better player than what he showcased against Central and that is the only time I've seen him this year.

 I rarely ever post anything specifically about DC basketball, and I'm certainly not on here posting stuff after every loss or win.

    • 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.
