Wartburg Basketball

Alright folks enough talk about Oneida, Temple, Rockwood, and Cosby. Lets talk about this team nobody EVER wants to give credit to, WARTBURG. This team has done nothing but prove theirselves over these last couple of years and nobody still has give them any credit. I mean come on folks sometimes you have to give credit where credit is do. You have all of these people that get on here and talk about Oneida, Temple, Rockwood, and Cosby. I mean don't get me wrong or anything these teams are good, but let me tell you all something none of these teams are any better than WARTBURG. Yes you all might say that Temple or Cosby would kill Wartburg, but both of these teams have already played Wartburg.

During this summer Temple did defeat Wartburg, but by only 7. Wartburg just scrimmaged Cosby this past week and it ended in a tie 41-41. Oh yeah I almost forgot Wartburg upset Lenior City the same night 56-49. This Wartburg team should not be tooken for granted because if teams do take this team for granted their going to WISH they wouldn't have because if they do it will bite them right in their hind parts. I mean listen folks this team is stacked and they are filled with fantastic players. For starters you have the shooter Adam Vespie, then you have the big man who is unstoppable inside Jason Melton, then you have Brent Hamby one of the fastest players in Morgan County this kid loves the back door cuts and he can shoot the 3 ball, then you have Jerriel Inman this guy loves the three ball and posts up like a mad man, NOW we come to a young man who I think and who many others think is the BEST over all player on this team his name is JEREMY SHANNON there is no doubt in mind he is the BEST point guard on this team and probably one of the BEST in East Tennessee. I would like to call this young man the FREAK because he is everywhere on the court, I mean he makes Steals, he can SHOOT the lights out and to be truly honest with you if there was only a few seconds on the clock I would want the Ball in this kids hands because trust me i've seen this kid when a lot of ballgames off of a last second shot what can I say I think the kid is Clutch, anyways back to what this kid can do, besides being able to shoot the ball, he makes Beautiful passes, and he rebounds the ball like he is 8'0 ft. tall or something this kid clearly has what it takes to become a D-1 player. Coming off the bench is Travis Nelson this kid is also an all around good ball player, then you have Alex Melhorn another good post, then DJ Shannon, this kid is another awesome player shoots the BALL like no other big man and rebounds very well and a little word of advice to opposing teams you better rebound the ball because if you don't this kid will always score because as soon as it comes off the rim it's going to get tipped back in by this young man, last but not least Ray Jenkins this guy is one of the overall better defensive players on this team. Look out opposing teams because the BULLDOGS are looking to hunt you down and bring your season to a hault.
