So who do you like in this one?  Lady Govs rolled in the  first match up, but then less than a week later, Maryville knocks off Bearden and WB loses to Farragut.  The WB girls looked about as good as I've seen them look on Tuesday night against Hardin Valley.  Not only did they shoot the basketball well, their defense was stifling.

 

When the two teams played earlier, Maryville was playing their third game in five days.  Well, this time, that's the case with WB.  They had HV on Tuesday and play Lenoir City in a make up game tonight (Thursday).

 

Looking forward to a great game between two good teams.  If anyone else is out there, let me know what you think!

William Blount is a solid team, but to say they are EASILY top 2 teams in East TN is laughable

It's not really. They are loaded with talent And young talent. The key is if they play well. They can beat anyone in the state ....they only trailed Blackman by 6 with 2 minutes left in 3rd qtr and trailed by 1 at half. A couple little tweaks here and there which I think are slowly being implemented down the stretch and we will be very hard to beat. Remember 10 of these girls on an AAU team that beat the Flight and were runner up in AAU State Championship. Against teams mixed with the best from the top teams in the area.

To be considered one of the best you have to be consistent and William blount hasn't been that. I don't care if your down 6 with 2 minutes to go in the 4th if you lose by 27 pts. They will play great one week and then the next lose to a team by double digits that they beat earlier in the year. I can name 3 teams in NE Tn that are more consistent and better teams off the top of my head. Like I said before they are solid team but to say they are Easily the top 2 in East Tn when your that inconsistent is funny

One time the entire season Swipes did WB "lose to a team by double digits that they beat earlier in the year." Not a real strong defense of your lack of consistency argument.  From the start of the season through the Christmas tournaments they were 13 -4 (with losses to Blackman;Morgan Park,  a Chicago area team that is one of the best in Illinois;  Elizabeth Seaton, which is one of Maryland's better girls programs; and to a pretty decent Cookville team). Since the start of 2016, they've gone 8 -2 (losses to Bearden and Farragut).  This season they have wins over Bradley Central, McMinn Central, twice over Maryville, twice over Hardin Valley, they beat Cookville in rematch ...).  The Lady Govs program is still on its way up. They still have to earn the right to be considered an elite program in ET but your consistency argument doesn't hold water. Better come up with something else!

So you see losing to Bearden by 12, beating Maryville by 17, and then turning around any losing by 17 to Farragut all in a week as consistent basketball play? How about beating an average at best Lenoir City team by 6 when you had crushed them earlier in the year?

 

I've already said William Blount is a Solid basketball team but when someone says they are EASILY top 2 teams in East TN, when in fact they aren't top 2 in NE Tn let alone East Tn. Morristown West, Elizabethton, and South Greene are all more consistent and have wins over team that William Blount had lost to by Double digits

I see that scenario you're describing happening one time all year. Please look back at the edit that I did in that post you quoted for my argument.  Your original post made it sound like they had done that all year Swipes.  The Lenoir City game was a "trap game" sandwiched between Hardin Valley and Maryville, and they found a way to win, which is what good teams do.  WB overall this year has been very consistent ... their 20-6 (11-2) record backs that up.

 

I, by the way, did not say they are "Easily top 2 in East Tennessee".   I hope WB gets an opportunity to play an Elizabethton or Mo West.  It will be a good measuring stick for our young team.   We still have a ways to go but we're excited.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By Dawgz4life · Posted

      This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.

      Oh yeah, I’m sure you are different people just always on the same thread for some reason, always agreeing with each other, perhaps just a bunch of dorks who would like to ###### and moan about high school football coaches do a lot of other students, so you make a football team and get a yell at them. When they do something wrong, but I’m sure you don’t like that, do you?   and I’m sure I’m aware of where you get information. A teacher who was on the coaching staff but was fired after the new coaching and staff came in and realized he actually had to start taking his assistant job a little bit more seriously than just wanting to make a little extra cash on the side, hardly even showing up to most practices, should’ve left with his buddy to go to Farragut. I’m sure he could get him a defensive coaching job, but I doubt he will be there in three years. Looking at the way Farragut is currently going.

      It may be hard to believe but there’s more people than me that think you guys are a bunch of losers.    I’m sure the coaching staff, yourself included, cursed at a bunch of high school students. Nobody could name more than 3 coaches on staff due to the constant turnover.

      That's complete BS.  Nobody at ACHS has access to CHS student records unless a transfer is made from CHS to ACHS.

      Trez's last scandal has died down, so I guess this is there opportunity to be the best 4A team playing in 2A a la Sissy MTN.  At least they won't be in a Z-district with 1a teams in the regular season.
