Temple Repeat?

I'd really like to see someone beat Temple this year, but it is just not going to happen. Temple lost one player, point guard, last year and they have replaced the position with a talented underclassman. Back-to-back MVP for Skogen. It's pathetic that he is picked to go low D-III. I think the college level recruiting stinks!

celina could take temple monday i think,because first off,celina is a very dangerous team,just ask red boiling and every one else we played about that,and second of all,anything can happen on any given night,so all i got to say is GO DAWGS!

hes probably picked to go low level d3 becuase of his size.

Jake Skogen signed with Division I Mercer University in Macon, the winners of the Atlantic Sun Conference 23-6 overall record.

 

I am not sure why his size would be a problem, most teams would like to have a 6'5" two guard which is what he was recruited to play.

 

As to football. We are not stupid. We know it will take time to build a program and we are aware that we will take our lumps on the way. But the way we see it, is that the only way to lose is to not try, so we will give it our best.

 

As to recruiting: I am not speaking about other private schools because I don't know, but Temple does not in any way, shape or form recruit. And if we did, we are horrible at it! Our kids come from big families of a lot of boys, not from recruiting.

yeah 141, I took up for you guys on the recruiting thing becuase I got to Nashville Christian and we get that alot. Most of our boys have been playing together since the 7th grade a few have came in here and there over the last few years and since we had a winning season people said that we must just be recruiting now, what we did was recruit a coach. As for Skogens size i was refering to his weight and stregth, He does blow by people to the basket and hit 3's in peoples eye but the game i seen the other night he got ripped quit a few times. If a 6'6 250lb strong guy gave him an elbow he would probably be out of the game. But dont get me wrong, I'm not talking bad about him, he is a really good player and has a serious shot, but he is a little under weight.

Maybe you all should stick to riding 4wheelers instead of complaining about a very small Christian school on the border of Georgia and Tennessee...or did you forget where Chattanooga is...Rossville isn't Atlanta...you bring back memories of a recent Presidential election.

The Vikings will defeat Temple tomorrow. Perry County has the richest tradition of any school in the state and will bring home yet another trophy to Linden. This is one of the best teams in all of state.

Mitchell is the team to beat in Class A. They will be AAA next year but will walk through Class A this year.

Well Skogen left CCS after his 8th grade year and I'd be shocked if a great family like the Skogen's gave in to some kind of recruiting deal. It's not like he left some podunk school to go to a McCallie or something. Another thing, I believe 4 of Temple's 5 starters are sons of the coaches. Along with 1 more on the bench. If there was recruiting involved they need to up the ante or something because they don't have 5 all-state players.
