Unaka Basketball

[MiNDGaMeZ43]

Can anyone picture Unaka making it back to the state tournament again this year?

they are playing good basketball right now just comming of a win against one of the top teams in division 2 Chattanooga Mcallie and out of 24 big games so far this

year they have 9 losses not to mention one of the 2nd best records Unaka has had in a while the last time they went to the state tournament they ended up with 12 losses losing to a very good Ezell Hardin team.But could this be Unaka's year to prove the critics wrong and go and compete for a state title they are beating some pretty tough opponents right now and I really just dont see them losing in there district or region.I guess only time will tell till we find out how good Unaka really is.

Unaka has the weapons to compete for a state title tough press good coaching and great players with a hard work ethic they proved that the other night against Chattanooga Mcallie playing very hard and very smart and not rushing things in the 4th quarter keep doing everything your doing and keep playing hard and you will find yourselves playing for a shot at the state championship in the murfreesburro.

They will still have to get out of a tough district....Cloudland,UH... an easy region with Hancock.....but an unbelieveably tough substate with Rockwood, Harriman, Oneida, Cosby, CAK, and Wartburg......did Unaka not already lose to Harriman......

[luvsbball]

That is a good point region 2 is very well balanced with good competition and great teams.Yes Harriman did beat Unaka once in overtime at Unaka when they had them down by 15 at one point in overtime and the other by 5 at there place.When

Unaka played Cosby at Unaka they beat them by 1 when they played down there they got beat by 10 so either way if Unaka plays Harriman or Cosby they will most likely play them at Unaka because Unaka will win there region and host a substate

at home and everyone knows that Unaka is one of the toughest places to win at in East Tennessee good luck to who ever faces them out of region 2 exspecially at our place.

You can't say that you will be hosting a sub state game before you even start post season. Even if you do win, it might not be Harriman or Cosby that comes to Unaka. Rockwood, Oneida and CAK all have great teams. Harriman isn't even the best team in the Distrcit and Unaka lost to them. Harriman is tied with Oneida and Rockwood beat Harriman twice this season. Plus, it would be hard for me to believe that Cosby would lose again at Unaka.

Hancock County will rule the region and we pity anyone who comes here to win a substate.Go Indians.........

[rainman]

region 2 beware,

 

Unaka just go a transfer student in form Texas that is now eligible as of today. He has been playing jv since he came after christmas and is the real deal. led jv in scoring is fast, shoots well and can dunk the ball with authority. could be one of the best to ever play at uhs before he leaves. you can bet that he will play varsity come tournament time.

 

and chill. do you think that Unaka showed ever wrinkle to Harriman, Cosby etc? you don't want be on the road and have to play at Unaka?

[Scoutman]

Good ole Unaka. There road stops in the sub=state and maybe even sooner, depending on if they keep playing a team ball game. That has been there biggest problem this year and they have been showing that they are over that problem, but........ Yea, they have showed their wrinkles, Ensor hates to loose.

[creekercalhoun]

Count on Unaka being in the substate I dont care who they half to play CAK,Harriman,Oneida,Cosby, whoever even Rockwood bring them on because Unaka dont lose at home.

[XtremeLoco]

Its a whole differant game when a good team comes to Unaka in a big game. Good teams don't care where they play. Unaka sounds like it is depending on playing at home in sub-state....before they even win their own district.

[backcourt65]

Unaka is good enough to sweep there district and there region now who they play in substate will be up to whom ever loses out of district 2 I really dont know.

All i can say is XtremeLoco you say its different when a good team come's into

Unaka to play why dont you check and see who they have played away at other places Tennesee Temple,Science Hill, Mcallie,Knox Bearden,Cosby,Pickett County,

I could name them all and by looking at Rockwood's Harriman's CAK and Cosby's

schedule it dont even compare to Unaka's.

 

They protect there homecourt better than any team in upper East Tennessee and

if they make it to the substate no matter if they face Cosby,Rockwood,Harriman

whoever you can bank on which ever team it is they will be in one heck of a dogfight because when you come to there gym not many teams come out with the (WIN)

Your right, I admit it. Unaka is the greatest team in the world because their schedule rank is so darn good. But let me tell you, this isn't the BCS you don't get in because you play good teams. You gotta win in the tournys. I really wish you guys would stop being so cocky saying you already have it before the tournys start.
