Region 1a summer ball

[THE KING]

It's that time of year again and the last one for my girls.  We host a play date on the 28th then go to heritage over the weekend.   Lady Landers are senior laden with experience and talent.  Might be the last chance to make a run in girls basketball for a long time.  Unaka is also senior laden and the odds on favorite to win it this year.  NG has hit the transfer portal and brought some girls in from Daniel Boone.   NG was headed for a rebuilding year with their current roster but looks like the additions will make them competitive.   Hampton will rejoin the conference but will have to replace a lot of talent.  I'm excited to watch some round ball this summer

NG is also apparently getting Chuckey Doaks best Returner. There’s also supposed to be some coaching changes in greene county that could affect other people as well. Should be another fun year.

Chucky Doak best returner is traylen Southerland.  Is she transferring to NG?  C-D would be down without her

That’s the plan right now according to some friends.

I wonder why go to north greene?  I could understand if a girl was good and not getting playing time at her current school but that makes no sense.  NG might as well be a private school.  Cloudland's had 2 transfers in the last 25 years.  I remember when ng finished 3rd or 4th all the time until they started getting European kids.  Now they just come from everywhere lol.

Cd coach stepped down, so maybe that had something to do with it.

That's a shame.  I really like coach Donahue.

Cloudland and Unaka were dominant today with wins over Johnson County and unicoi County.  They beat both teams by about the same margin.  I really liked what I saw from the lady landers.  Really good chemistry and teamwork.   And feel like we can get even better over the next 5 months.   We get to play the defending 3a champs tomorrow

Got to see some good basketball at heritage today.  Pickett beat Elizabethton 66-62.  Pickett not as good but still a threat in their region.  We squeaked by South Doyle.  We weren't as in sync today.  I think we have Oliver springs tomorrow

Girls.  You're on the girls board my friend

Today we beat Oliver springs 46-22 almost knocked off Farragut.  We lost 36-35.  Overall I'm pleased with how our girls are playing.  Pickett is still pretty good but Nicolas suffered an ankle injury.  Hopefully it's nothing serious.  The coalfield point guard transferred but they still look good.  Oakdale looks good with their new coach.
