JDOGG80 Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 It's about fairness. If Union City was playing in 3A, and going against schools twice their size, and playing against teams where maybe only 1 or 2 boys played both ways....I mean, they had an offensive team and defensive team...and, never had a chance to win the district...then, I'd bet we'd be hearing from UC fans about unfair it was. I mean, when a team can pick from twice as many boys to be on the basketball team, and the football team, then it just creates an unfair advantage. It just does. If a school is playing other schools that are near to the same size and still get beat all the time, then so be it. They just need to work harder, and get better. But, whenever a team is facing schools twice their size on a regular basis, then...I'm sorry....but, something just doesn't seem fair about that. But, that's how it is in the TSSAA, so small schools like Bradford, Gleason, Greenfield, S. Fulton, Lake Co., and others just have to make the best of it. This is basketball so if you want to talk about that then how come teams like Mitchell and BTW are in single A and not double A? So why are we still bringing this crap up? Where the complaints about it when UC had down years? They were no where. UC is not winning state titles constantly; in fact UC's last boys basketball team state title was '08; which people can argue that the team we faced in Manassas should of been in double A as well cause of all the transfer students from a school that closed down. Why not complain about football talent; then why dont Alcoa move up to 4A cause they win titles pretty much every year except 2 since '04? So we can keep going but it is what it is.

We have done that man...Nobody Bd & Md about it...When we went down enough in numbers to drop, we dropped....When we go up in enough in numbers to go up, we will go up....Danggggg.... Maybe we need to go to 10 or 12 classifications so we can have 10 or 12 champions.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsj518 Posted December 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 I'm so glad that y'all are overlooking Halls. They're ready to earn some respect. #motivation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lsj518 Posted December 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) I see Union City beat Bradford 78 to 38 last night. Halls beat Bradford 70 to 37. I think it will be a great matchup this season. How's Lake County doing in District play? I know that Union City beat them by over 30 points.

GCPioneer Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Gibson beat Lake in OT last night by like 7. It was a fun game to watch... Seems like UC is the clear cut number 1... The other top 3 spots in the district are wide open for several teams. Halls, Humboldt, Lake, Gibson... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDOGG80 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Halls could be the south fulton of last year. They seem to be the team that could give us a fight in the district. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDOGG80 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 UC is scheduled to face halls friday; but I think that game will be rescheduled for another night because of the state football championship being played that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsj518 Posted December 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) The game between Halls and Union City was scheduled for tonight, but has been rescheduled to December 22nd due to UC Football Team competing in the State Championship. I can say that it will be a battle. Edited December 4, 2014 by lsj518 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrOct81 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 GCPioneer if UC takes #1 trust and believe it won't be clear cut. We're not competing for 2nd we're competing for 1st. JDOGG80 its been rescheduled for the monday before Christmas, the 22nd. GCPioneer make sure you're there front row. You're in for a rude awakening...
