Guest midtnhoops Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 How is Briarcrest this year? I've heard they've got a new coach and wanted to know how he's doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opperman Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 He's doing well. The team is not. Two of their starters transferred at the beginning of the year, leaving them to play a killer varsity schedule with what amounts to a good JV team. The results have been predictable, but they'll be pretty good in a year or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest midtnhoops Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 Will the head coach be back next year or will he go back to Bartlett and be Bartlett's assistant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhalionboy03 Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 I think John Harrington deserves tons of credit for what he's done with Briarcrest. He has taken the team predicted to finish last in district and made them a dangerous team. They lost by ten to Lausanne, but turned around to beat Harding by 10, who was ranked #1 in DII State at the time. This week, they lost to ECS by 5. The team itself, even if they lose the rest of their games, has already over-achieved. The players seem to play up and down from game to game, but Coach Harrington will whip them into shape. Look for them to go to State in the next three years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opperman Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 Posted by midtnhoops:Will the head coach be back next year or will he go back to Bartlett and be Bartlett's assistant? I don't think he'll be going back to Bartlett. Briarcrest is one of only a couple of jobs that could have gotten him to leave Bartlett, and he seemed excited about his young players last time I talked to him. Problem is, he has to count on them at the varsity level right now, which doesn't translate into wins that well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAC6603 Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 Briarcrest had alot of unexpected player losses at the beginning of the year, before the season even started, first of all, they lost Jordan Mincy, a highly-rated PG, to Ridgeway, and Jared Plunk, a 6-6 sr C. Also, like you guys said, they are just soo young, with only one senior who isnt much of a factor, and just underclassmen, although some have alot of experience like Brian Moffatt, a 6-4 junior wing/power forward and Trey Lampkin a 6-1 wing who averages about 13pts per game. Look for Briarcrest to be very dangerous either next year, or in 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deetone23 Posted January 30, 2003 Report Share Posted January 30, 2003 I sure hope he isn't going back to Bartlett next year...my husband took the assistant's job...that would make me very hungry...and I wasn't planning a diet...hee hee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
