They press and create a lot of turnovers. They score a lot of points in transition. When you're deep, you can press the whole game and give up a few fouls. The teams they've beaten were wore down in the 4th quarter. The teams who have good guards and big posts will give cland problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two more went to the doctor after the game last night feeling sick. They were a step slow last night and almost the entire team has had some type of sickness. Was good to be able to come out with a win considering the circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloudland beat Unaka 3 times last year by about 10 points a game, about the same has this year. But it looks like Cloudland is on the rise and Hampton and Unaka are really struggling, just like small schools do, you have 3 to 4 good years and a few bad years.

Hampton is down mostly from not having a consistent feeder system. Unaka loses some kids to other schools. Cland is really strong with youth club and travel ball. They're not gonna drop off for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say Cloudland and Meigs are a lot alike, Meigs has a really good middle school program, and a lot of the better players play travel ball, and it makes a big difference. I’m hearing that Meigs will probably be 1A in a couple years, so there’s a chance those teams could cross paths again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next 4 years will be interesting. We have some size on the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
