What is going on with Dekalb, after watching them again last night. Look totally undisciplined,  playing with no passion.  Hopefully things turnaround.  Anybody else's thoughts who also attended last night. 

Played a little harder, I think, but gotta clean up the mistakes. And York is pretty good, a good shooting team.  DC couldn't  buy a 3 and York couldn't miss 1. I feel like maybe when Poss comes back he can be the leader they need and settle some things down,  Looks like right now LA,  Upperman,  York and maybe Watertown yare going to be tough outs for everybody else.

I still aint sure if some take plays off or don't know exactly what to do. Whichever it is, I  think that makes them undisciplined.  And they aint good enough to overcome a bad shooting night, yet,

Right now it looks like  in some order LA/Upperman are 1-2 and York/Watertown 3-4 but still a lot of BB to play,

UTrok didn't see that happening.  What happened.  

LA was very physical and UHS wasn't ready for it. The Sells kid is good he had 31 and LA is pretty athletic. LA plane old punched them in the mouth and they didn't respond. UHS had a terrible shooting night but the defense had something to do with that. UHS is at York next Friday looking forward to seeing York play.

I actually thought they played harder against York than they had been. They played man for the first time but were out of position some. That should improve if they continue to play it. York was by far the best team DC has played to date. York lit it up in the first half to build the lead. Second half was even. Apart from York coming back to earth from 3 in the second half, the biggest difference seemed to be in the way the first and second half were officiated. Refs allowed York to play very physical defense in the first half (led to a lot of TO and few FT) and began calling it closer in the second (less TO and more FT).

After 6 games into the season, I haven't seen DC have a good shooting night. Van Buren was an outlier because of so many lay ups. As bad as DC is with ball security, I am not surprised by their record. The 2 senior guards that started last year have not shot it nearly as well as they did a year ago. A lot can change by adding back a starter like Poss who seems to keep his composure and will pull some of the defense focus away from others. We will learn a lot Friday when they play Watertown. Until discipline and shooting improve, I think that is the battle for 4th. If they don't take care of the ball and shoot better than they have Tuesday at LA could be another long night. That said, we are due to shoot better.

    • Lee would have been a good choice, also.  I'm sure Benny was involved with the decision.  
    • Personally I was pulling for Lee Hammonds to get another shot. He’s earned it! 
    • Tyler Williams was the logical choice to be named head football. He served as the Highlanders’ strength coach and offensive coordinator.
    • I went to practice yesterday and liked what I saw for the most part. Derek and crew have done a good job during the off-season. I was very impressed with the size of some of those boys on the offensive line. My only regret was one of the boys I was really pulling for to have a good year was dismissed from the team. I have to applaud the coaches for setting examples for the others, no one is bigger than the team. One other thing, I was hoping with that big rain we got this week some of that  yellow paint would dissolve but it didn't.  
    • Couple of thoughts: 1.  I just don't understand all the intricacies in TSSAA transfer rules anymore.    William Blount had a kid that played the final part of the basketball season with them this year,  that played at Hardin Valley last year, and played football for Bearden this year.  I say that to say, I know the coaches and the AD and the Principal at WB and I will never believe they would do something they knew was wrong.  They are men of character.  I BELIEVE the same thing about the coaches and administration at Maryville.  Call me gullible, but these are men and women of integrity in my experiences with them. 2.  Much like the transfer of the Clemmer kid a couple of years ago, with Smith, the football team is getting a huge boost, but the impact on the basketball team will be just as great or maybe even greater.  With Smith playing post, it frees the Sigmund kid who will be coming back from injury, to play more with his face to the basket.  The Rebels basketball squad in my mind, will be "the program" in East Tennessee next year.
