District 4A 2015-2016

Kazzy I do agree about the officiating in your previous post. No longer allowed to use a hand to brace another player is what I was told. Refs gonna be calling it tight.

Oakdale picked up a win against Clinton. Coalfield did as well. Nice to see Coalfield get on the right track.

 

Oakdale beat Knox West today. Don't know any details of the game yet though

[LilGoose10]

Oakdale lost big to Maryville. Oakdale now sits at 4-3, with losses to Clarkrange, Maryville, and Livingston. Oakdale has beaten Mt. Pisgah, Monterey, Clinton, and Knox West.

The biggest surprise from the Lady Eagles so far is the play of Macayla Davidson. Davidson is averaging 13.4ppg so far, with 3 18+ point games. Take away the 4-point game against Maryville, and she's been on fire. Combined with Everett and Coffey, Oakdale has a chance to make some noise. 

My District rankings as of Thanksgiving:

1. Oneida

2. Wartburg

3. Oakdale

4. Coalfield

5. OS

6-7. Sunbright-Jellico

(Feel free to debate)

Who is coaching Oakdale girls this year? 

Also, I haven't gotten to many games yet this year, but what is the reasoning for OS having only 1 win so far?  Tough schedule?  Missing the twins?

[LilGoose10]

Fred Snow is still at Oakdale. After a lot of debate this summer, it was decided that he can still work at Central Office and coach. 

 

This is the first time in about 10 years that OS doesn't have a stud (or two) on the team. They have talent, but not the district-champion talent that they usually have every single year. They have played an above-average schedule so far, but last year's team would definitely have more than one win at this point. They finally look human again. However, Michelle will have them ready at tournament time.

Speaking of Oakdale and Oliver Springs, they play Friday

From the looks of OS thus far, Oakdale has a good chance this year.  Though, OS is a hard gym to play in with the fans right on top of you.

 

Oakdale by 5

Homecourt at OS took a huge hit with their student section getting moved to the other side, closer to their home bench. It's still ridiculously loud though. Oakdale has more talent across the board and more depth.

OS ------ 53 to 37

How did this one play out? Figured OS would win but not by 16.

[LilGoose10]

OS did nothing different or special. They played good, ole fashioned defense and pressured Oakdale's guards like crazy about 25ft out. Oakdale couldn't get anything going. Their offense is designed to work from the high post, and they couldn't get the ball in to Coffey.

 

This was a "bad" looking game. OS didn't look great, but they made Oakdale play worse.

Goose.....you got Wartburg pegged at #2 which makes the Tuesday game against Oneida the first big match-up of the season.  How has the Lady Bulldogs fared so far....Oneida has had a tough early schedule playing some serious competition (Granger, Union Co., Campbell Co.) and they were all on the road.  They have been in just about every game but have not sprung any upsets.  I think they are 4-5, maybe 5-5?  Should be a good game down in Wartburg....!  Who you got winning this one?
