Wang15 Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Adamsville will probably finish 3rd this year. They are always going to be right up their in the middle of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwolford12 Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 As long as Coach Martin has a ball 5 guys and a goal, the Cardinals will always be a decent team. They lost alot last year in Shoate and Shirley, but someway somehow just like always they will be ready to play. Never count out the cards, not while Coach Martin is there.

ballin4 Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 why are you so agaisnt JCS JW....JCS clearly has the better team this year, everyone knows that and so do you? Since your from Humboldt you must be upset still from the previous two years when JCS has beaten them, and if im not mistaken they have beaten them the last 3 out of 4 times they have played!

buschman Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 With Allen I would think that JCS runs away with this district, but since they have to wait till the tournament to get him back, Middleton could give them a run for their money. Both teams will be loaded down with guards, but JCS's are much taller. I think JCS still wins this district, but I don't expect them to run the table through district play anymore. Adamsville still has Robison and some shooters so they should finish at least 4th. I think USJ will be much better than finishing sixth. USJ is too well-disciplined and won't except failure. They will probably be the most overachieving team in the district. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thechief Posted November 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 I think Fayette Academy should be considered in the teams battling for the top 4. The Vikings have an athletic frontline with experience in 6'3" senior Clint Cox, 6'3" senior Ryan Bush, and 6'6" senior Blake Wilson. If their backcourt shows up and can get the ball to their big men, then Fayette could surprise some people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thechief Posted November 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 The Coaches Rankings came out for this District and they go as follows: 1. JCS 2. Middleton 3. Adamsville 4. Madison 5. USJ 6. Scotts Hill 7. Trinity 8. Fayette Academy Everyone knows that I think they are a little off on one team, but everyone else let me know what you think.

jackson_sports Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 I do believe that JCS has a better team than Middleton this year, but how can you not rank the tigers #1? Granted, the eagles beat them in the region championship last year, but middleton beat them 3 out of 4 times and both teams only lost 1 key player. I'm gonna have to go with middleton until jcs shows otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayor10111 Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 fayette academy is absolutely horrible. i've seen them play this year and while the big kid is decent, the guards leave alot to be desired. having them picked at the bottom of the league is completely on target. it would take a special team with no talent and extremely poorly coached to remove the vikings from last place in that region.

thechief Posted November 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 Well I am assuming you were at the St. Benedict game considering that the Vikings other games were a close loss to Lausanne and a win over SBEC. Granted, Benedict absolutely dominated that game and had complete control the entire time. That was only because of one factor though, the press. Fayette Academy simply couldn't handle it. However, they won't play anyone the rest of the year with a press as effective as Benedicts. Look at the third quarter for instance, St. Benedict took the press off to start the third quarter but still had their starters in the game. I think they took off the press, one because they were up by a lil over 20 at that point, and two because Corzine wanted to work on his half court defense which they hardly got to do in the first half considering that FA wasn't getting it that far. Anyways, what happened was Wilson scored on five straight posessions for the Vikings and Benedict went right back to pressing again. I am not tryin to say that FA can play with Benedict. I am saying that Benedict is an extremely good team and would win FA's district I believe, may struggle with JCS, but I think with both teams healthy SBA is better. Furthermore, the only teams in the district that will try and press FA is probably gonna be JCS, Middleton, and Adamsville. After that, I don't think any of the other teams are athletic enough to. So you are saying that Benedict couldn't stop Wilson in the half court but Madison and Scotts Hill can. I think you are just really unfamiliar with the rest of the teams in this district. Good luck to the Eagles, I am hoping to come and see some more of your games this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayor10111 Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 they took the press off with 3 togo in the first half. they let the guards give token pressure for 3 or 4 possessions after the first few minutes of the 2nd half. the wilson kid had no field goals in the first half and even when they got the ball up the floor he was having trouble getting it. other than those couple of possessions in the 2nd half, i think it was three in a row. he didn't do a thing. they clamped back down on him. you may be right in saying that i haven't seen all the teams in the region. i have seen a few but not all. however if the coaching staff doesn't make a better effort to try and get him the ball they are going to be in big trouble. there guards are weak and other coaches will exploit that. the bottom line is other than three or four possessions they shut the wilson kid down. st. benedict's strength is not there post play but they did a terrific job of shutting him down when fayette did get the ball up the floor. having a good post player is great, but you better have someone who can get him the ball otherwise he'll just end up catching the ball 25-30 feet from the basket like he has done the last 2 years. we have all seen how far that has gotten them.
