Tri-County Seven Week #2

All our teams have a few games under their belts.  I have made a couple of changes to the rankings.

 

1. Elizabethton- (AA) (2-0)-  Beat Pigeon Forge by 28 and Science Hill by 15.  Stating the obvious, but this is a very good basketball team.  Keeping them focused, happy, healthy, and hungry without peaking too early may be the challenge.  Play in the Happy Valley Thanksgiving Tournament this week.

 

2. Happy Valley- (AA) (2-1)-  Beat West Greene and Sullivan North.  Lost to Grainger.  The Lady Warriors may be pretty good.  They are hosting their annual Thanksgiving Tournament this week. 

 

3. Unicoi Co.- (AA) (1-3)-  Lost to Science Hill by 27, Cocke Co. by 6, and Madison, NC by 10.  The Lady Devils beat Crockett by 13.  Not a great start, but they will be a factor. 

 

4. Hampton- (A) (1-0)-  Beat Crockett by 1. Coach Hazelwood's team is a bit of a mystery to me.  I know they have Alexus Grubbs and Kim Swearingen, but do not know much else.  Can the Bulldog faithful tell us about this team?

 

5. Cloudland- (A) (0-1)-  Coach Matt Birchfield's Lady Landers lost to Sullivan East by 28.  Kendall Mull and Faith Russell are two good players.  What else does Cloudland have? 

 

6. Johnson County- (AA) (1-2)-  Lost to South Greene by 51 and Mitchell Co., NC by 1.  Beat Unaka by 10 to move up a spot.

 

7. Unaka- (A) (0-2)-  Lost to Cosby by 16 and Johnson County by 10.  Coach Kenneth Chambers has returned to Stoney Creek after a few years at Cloudland as an assistant.  It may take some rebuilding, but I look to see the Lady Rangers improving as the season moves along.

Going to be a very long season for a lot of area teams this year King.  Take Elizabethton out of the equation and the rest of the teams are average at best.  Happy Valley probably being the better of the bunch.  Don't see any of the Greene County teams being challenged in single A or Elizabethton being challenged in AA.  Johnson County may get the opportunity to be ranked the highest its been in many years.  The Bowers girl not playing for Hampton this year really sets them back some and not sure they can recover from that, so they'll have to play with youth like Cloudland and Unaka.  Probably going to see a lot of ugly basketball the first couple of months but with time maybe the youth will mature enough to be competitive with teams outside the conference.

Lady Dogs...OK gonna be VERY young. Played with 4 sophomores and 1 freshman for while in the first couple of games. 3 girls are gonna have to score a lot of points IMO. Kim Swearingen, Alexus Grubbs(soph) and Tatum Street(soph). All 3 started multiple games last year. Street had 17 against Chuckey Doak with Grubbs and Sweringen scoring about 8 each in a game they lost and did not play very well. That was about all the points they had but those 3 will have to produce. Madi Wear(jr) started some too last year when she came off her injury. She brings a lot of size(6'2) along with Megan Garland(soph) who is also 6'2 but is still a little raw but coming along well. Hope Bridgeman(soph) is probably the future point guard and shoots the ball well and handles the ball well she just needs some experience. Cheyanne Tuelle is freshman that has started both games so far and looks like she could be a good one. The Dogs strength is that they can go really big with 6'2, 6'2, 6'1 across the front line but they are a little short on outside shooting. Ball handing could also be an issue.

South Greene is looking TOUGH.

    • All high school coaching postions are year to year. At least in public schools.
    • Yes in the regular season. But once Westview's young kids got the experience from the season, they only lost to Dyersburg by a field goal in the playoffs. Westview was young last year. They will be tough this year 
    • That is absolutely not the truth.  Few if any college coaches or school administrators want to be in the middle of legal proceedings if there is any way possible to avoid being caught in the middle.  With that being said I have two questions: 1.  Why would a coach remove any player from the team for using the F WORD?  Yes, I fully understand the player must be held accountable for her actions.  Maybe extra running and even a one game suspension but if every kid or coach that used improper language was kicked off the team or fired, they would have no players or coaches available to play the games. 2.  If there was truly another player or coach that witnessed this situation, and they agree with the player then by all means the coach should be held accountable for their actions.    
    • 1st round exit?        For real ?!?!?!                     Oh wait.....    are we talking band or football?
    • Assistant football staff still the same? Any replacement for Brian Beaubien? Who will be the DC? Will there be anything going on this spring with football? I go watch practice often.
