District 8AA

Smith played much better than anything I've seen from them this season. They turned it over a ton the first time they played UHS. Last night, they limited turnovers, made shots, and played much better D forcing UHS to make tough shots resulting in the Bees not shooting as well as the first time they played. It was a good game that remained close the whole way. Upperman didn't play their best, but a lot of credit to Smith for being a major cause of that. There are no easy road games in this district. Dekalb gave LA a run last night too.

Tnhoosier I agree with some of your comments.  There is know way this team should be 3-17, absolutely blows everyone's mind that our record is this bad. Did we all believe we would be world beaters absolutely not. My guess was that the Tigers would be .500 or better on the season.  Just my opinion,  believed by most. My expectations for this team in the district were middle of the pack.  My expectations for the boys rose after the coaches preseason assessment at the beginning of the yea on his WJLE show. He said there is no doubt with the talent on this team and the way we played this summer that we can't finish 3rd or 4th in the district.  We all fell in, especially with most teams losing a great deal of starters from each team other than York and Upperman. Oh well, this is my observation and opinion.  3-17 are you kidding me, wait till next year. 

After watching the game last night ( great game by the way) I think DC is now where everyone, even Sanders, thought they would be in November. The last 3-4 games things look tons better. 

Ill say this too....I've been hearing a few parents talk highly of the JV team and Coach Vance.  I watched them yesterday.  They were fun to watch too.  I saw  a lot of potential players there. They play hard, the whole game. Look coachable and look to have fun. Now, they are JV and make JV mistakes but that's what JV is for..to learn.  What will they be next year, I don't know, but I was kinda impressed.

Smith and Upperman score kind of surprised me. Any details Dexter 10? 

Smith played well last night under control and made shots couple of mistakes at the end cost them a real chance at a upset but looked tons better York was to far for me to travel to watch both teams lose but I was surprised to also am sure Upperman wasn’t expecting it either

It was the most enjoyable game ,girls or boys,I've seen all season. I'll take effort, discipline, and direction. We have had spurts when we don't look bad.

I thought DeKalb would or should be around 5-4 like Macon and Watertown.  I bet Upperman wins the district.  Yorks loss to Macon will kill them in a tie breaker situation.  

My final prediction 

1. Upp

2. York

3. LA

4. Watertown 

5. Macon

6. Cannon

7. DeKalb

8. Smith

What's everyone else's thoughts and predictions.

They played well tonight got to keep it up  Dekalb got another win also. I guess it’s hard to win at Upperman I think York has the best team in the district also looks like La killed Smith thought maybe they was playing better lately guess not

    • Ouch! If he's in the scrap business maybe 
    • That's a nice story but has little to nothing to do with what we're talking about. 
    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • 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.
