We had 10 or 11 just in the first quarter tonight. Way to many turnovers. Hard to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King21 Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 I think discrediting Coach Dodgen at White County is a huge mistake. Don't forget what you were without him. Or do, and go back to the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustABlueFan Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 LA hasn't been the same since the first Cumberland loss. They made a very mediocre team look formidable tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made them formidable in the death region they were in. He's got those kids invested into playing ball at a more competitive level in the off-season. They were a top five team in the state at one point this year. That's a credit to him as well. Sure, the 90s were great. They were also 20+ years ago.

White hasn't been below. 500 in the District in 15+ years is all I'm saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah these 2 coaches, who both have won gold balls, make a tendency of getting out coached in the post season like you seem to imply. Laughable. The LA game had nothing to do with being out coached. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every team learned our weakness . Same bad passes all year . Passes against press same all year . Fundamentaly worst girls team i've seen at White Cc . This team could have been so much better . Sad , hard to watch . I picked White County to win district and against Page, even though I questioned myself each time. I finally realized if you look good length, height in uniform doesn't mean anything. White players just aren't polished skill wise , we all put them on a pedalstal that we shouldn't have. I don't think they were underachieving. They finished about where thier talent level was. High school coaches can develop teams, they can't develop talent ,that is up to parents,players, aau,trainers etc.. Dodgen did what he could imo.

Dodgen has always grated me the wrong way since the LA-Cannon battles. But the guy can coach and gets the most out what he has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summit Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 King21 You must be smoking something . Coach Haley did a good job and won several districts and the girls loved him . Don't be knocking people if you don't know what your talking about . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
