Let’s just lay it all out here...
Upperman has great talent and Macon too has great talent. That is about as far as a comparison goes. 

Upperman knows how to pass the ball, take good shots and most of all play team ball. That was evident tonight. They had multiple players contribute to a winning outcome.

Macon, on the other hand, has two players (Gregory and Carter) trying to out do the other in fear that they won’t be the point leader by the last tic of the 4th quarter. Neither player passes the ball out to the open guards, they both drive in and shoot crazy garbage shots, and play “me” ball. Sure they both are the ones that have all the points, but that is because they shoot every singe time down the floor, whether they are open or not. Gregory’s percentage is one of, if not the worst on the team. She shoots on average 25 to 30 shots per game, making far less than 20% of her shots from the floor. Tonight looked like backyard ball... uncoordinated and aweful similar to a pickup team. 

Everything on paper, EVERYTHING points to this year’s Macon team being the state champion, but reality is this year’s team is a fraction of what they were. Individuals don’t win at this level without a supporting cast. 

Until Coach White gets control of his players, this team will have wasted talent left on the floor, and no gold ball to show for it. Hurst and the rest of Upperman’s team wiped the floor with them tonight, and White got outcoached. No college coach will touch the drama that these two players are putting on the court. So sad. 

It was definitely not team basketball!

MC had a poor shooting night. Keeley couldn’t get nothing to fall for her last night and we couldn’t hit the three ball when we had a chance. Not scoring in the second quarter really hurt our chances. Got one more chance before the district tournament. Hopefully our girls ain’t as nervous as they were last night.

Yes!  Crazier than that is the fact it was 8-4 Macon at the end of the 1st.  They scored 0 the second quarter. 

MC missed 13 straight shots at one point.  Box score, one player scored 15, the other 11 for total of 26 points. 6 players played but the entire offense ran through only two players. That's a recipe for disaster.

This is the 3rd time I have seen them play.  As what was said in a earlier post No team play what so ever.  Macon might as well play the old style of girls basketball.  Two on the offense end.  And the others breaking their necks on the other end playing defense.  Two players taking shots out of control .  Taking shots  before they would pass to a open team mate    There is no I in team but MC has two I’s in team.  

Agree, but it all falls to the coach. Team ball is taught, not genetic. He should have sat those two a bit and played the next best five for a bit and let the two stars chill. I mean could it have been any worse than 8 points?

    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say ..
