Ok, I'm reading in the newspaper today how Loudon is ready to take over our region. Well, I must add that you all haven't played anyone yet that's why you all are getting all this hype about yall being 14-2. Now Tuesday, when those Roadrunners come to town then you will see how a real team play ball! Watch Redskins-Yall Ain't Ready.

 

GO AE!

When Loudon was stomped by Harding early in the year they were a different team. Hall had been in Georgia all summer, and had a stint in the hospital right before the season started. Not to take anything away from Harding because they are a very good team who can play with any team in the state...Loudon has to knock down the shot from the perimeter against AE's 2/3 zone. Hall and Oody can create shots for Loudon's many spot-up shooters, but you don't get second shots against the Roadrunners. Of course they have to handle AE's press, but the thing about Loudon is that they have guys with size who can handle the ball and AE's guards are tiny(super quick)this year. Moss has to let the game come to him and be big on the boards for Loudon to have a chance. Loudon will also sit in a 2/3 and let AE fire away. This is not one of the best AE teams in recent years, but they do what they do very well and they expext to win. Loudon played them very tough at home in the region last year, and you could see they were on the rise. It's one thing for Fulton or Bearden to step up and beat AE, but it's completely different when you have a team trying to establish themselves as legit against AE. Two great coaches will square off in a tournament-like atmosphere...should be a great one.....

Loudon is definitely a fine team. One thing, though: check out their schedule. Most of the good teams they've beaten have come on Loudon's home court or at neutral sites. I think upcoming games at AE, Anderson County, etc. will tell us more about how good they really are. They are at Oliver Springs tonight, which is always a tough place to play, but OS is having a rough year and got whacked in a make-up game with Lenoir City last night. Loudon should be able to handle them.

Loudon barely escaped at Oliver Springs tonight winning by 1 point. Anyone who's ever been to OS knows it's one of the toughest place in the state to play. It's very similar to going to Unaka and getting a win. Moss had 7, and Hall had 14. Maybe they were looking ahead to AE on Thursday. If Loudon has this type of performance Thursday, look for AE by 10-20. Hopefully they were looking ahead.......

Okay, the game just finished about 10 minutes ago, and Loudon lost 66-57 (I think), but it was much closer than the score indicates. It was close all night then in the closing minutes Loudon was down 2 or 4 when they started fouling and AE hit the free throws, but Loudon couldn't convert on offense. Also, Loudon was without Tremon Hall, he got hurt today and didn't even dress out. Loudon stayed close mainly because their shooting for behind the arc in the early part of the game (first 15 points all off threes). It'll be a great match-up come tourney time. Loudon's girls even won in overtime 51-50 off an and one. ;)

    • I really don’t get your point. Yes, Bearden lost two superstars, that can’t be glanced over, but if you still look at their roster, they have star talent almost everywhere. I’m sure Jones was expecting to lose players. I mean, it’s been rumored since the days they both stepped into Bearden, but I mean, they still have star talent everywhere, receiver, linebacker, safety, defensive back, running back, not to mention they have two probably top 20 quarterbacks in 6A battling it out every day for the starting position. And knowing Jones, I’m sure there will be another star talent that lands in Bearden this off-season, which, based on hearing rumors, may already be there. I’m not too sure. But Chaz and Brody will definitely hurt, but I really doubt it will affect Bearden as much as you think. Maybe during the postseason going up against teams like Oakland, but I doubt during the regular season.
    • The ironic thing is that in 13 or 14 they did the same thing to the baseball team and hired a moron to coach them and the kids refuse to play. nobody came out they changed the coach to a competent baseball coach and within 3 years went to win a  state championship.so things do hold water when it comes to these things.
    • Dingleberry needs to educate herself on Clemer’s “resume” and why he has been dismissed at a few previous positions along with his love of milf and cookies before making her final decision on the matter I do believe. He would not coach my son just from the stuff outside of the X’s and O’s. Throw the football inadequacies in the mix and it just adds to the list of reasons also. Just a really bad deal given the list of coaches that applied from across the state and beyond there is no explanation whatsoever other than agendas why he was hired. 
    • Not looking good Captain,not looking good.We had 0 Srs before all this and had a decent amount of Sophmores and 4 or 5 Jrs.Now I heard we have about 14 kids I have not confirmed that and honestly I don't think I will go any further with it.What the community wants and what the faithful supporters along with players and parents it doesn't matter.The Loudon School board made the decision for us and it has killed our program.Folks can say butt hurt whiners whatever they want to but we are a very proud Community and expect the BEST choices to be made from our Administration and that's just not the case.I was at a Basketball game this winter for my grandkids and ran into a former teammate of mine that I actually coached youth league with for a number of years and he told me they were over 100 applications turned in and they hired the best friend of the School board Member who suggested him.He has even reached out to try to help the guy and he refused so here we are going into the fourth season of bad football.GB since 1985 has not had 3 consecutive bad seasons,now we are facing 4 with no help in sight.How are we supposed to get behind such incompetence?Dingle berry says we sound like Democrats lol.Democrats accept all the crazy and weirdness in this world and just roll with it.Im no Democrat.I'm also tired of fighting for something that our say so holds to water.
