Et tu Brute? Cyclones beat Greeneville. I believe you said that would earn them a co #1 ranking. In this humble arrogant ex-coaches opinion, Unaka would not beat Greeneville. I like the paradox. I'm outta here tomorrow, good luck to all of our teams. It has been fun.

If Unaka can't beat Greenville then give some reasons to back your opinion. Your ex-lady Cyclones are very good, but they would be overcome by the deep bench of the Rangers who play ten girls as talented as your starting five. To say that Unaka could not beat Greenville is saying that the Cyclones are just better than Unaka, and that is just not true, my friend.

AMEN ~ And that is why they are scared to play them.

I'll say it again, You can't be #1 if you turn down a challenge.

For the final time, I do not make the schedule. If you check my career record when I did make the schedule I played everyone. Since we will never solve this on the court, we are limited only to our opinions. I still believe Elizabethton is better, but what else would you expect from an ex-Cyclone.

[sportiemom]

Please do not take this personal Coach17. The little bit I know you and from what I have heard about you, I am sure that you would play in a heartbeat. Again what I am saying is that Unaka has challenged Elizabethton and they (not meaning you) refused. So that makes Unaka #1.

O brut one, still think you are letting you heart (guess that's ok since it's valentine's day) get in front of your head. Records can be deceiving. Can't compare them because they are not with the same opponents. Just because one team only has one loss does not make them better than another team unless they play the same schedule. Granted Unaka is a very talented, deep and good team. But can't see how you can rank them above Elizabethton. Don't think you could rank Elizabethton above Unaka. But both deserve a #1 ranking. And sportiemother, just because a team has "challenged" someone doesn't make them better either. Can remember a few years back when the Lady Rangers were not that good. They didn't make that "challenge" then. I truly believe it would be in the best interest of all the county schools to try and play each other every year. But they have been times when the smaller schools couldn't compete with the larger ones. Then the talk was it wasn't fair for a smaller school to be playing a larger one. Give both the teams the credit they deserve. They have worked hard for it.

[coachh17]

I like that post hvwarrior, and you have played both teams.

[hvwarrior]

Yes we have. And have gotten our tails kicked by both. So in our opinon they both are pretty good. Good luck CoachH on your new career. Don't forget us little folks back in the hills.

Ouch............

[osubrutus]

I knew I could stir up some good posts. And I guess I am making up for the various times this and last year for the Unaka slightings on your part, 17.

 

However, I have seen both play and I would be amazed if EHS could play a full 24 minutes of pressure basketball. Val could and the rest would be out of gas.

 

Again, my opinion.
