Basketball season for 2012/2013 should provide another exciting year. What should we expect from South Oldham? Remember, please be constructive.

 

 

Well - first they need to hire a coach. Dragging their feet imo, time's a wasting.

I agree with madman. Not sure on the wait. I thought the female assistant was a shoe-in. Anyone hear if alot of others applied or does she not want the job.

 

I think South lost alot from last year and will be a dfferent team but, still solid and they had a very good JV last year. It also depends if they get any move-ins.

South will have a good team next year. I think they will be better than most people expect. I think the incoming seniors will step it up. Seniors Corine Stanford, Kenzie Beaudrie, Kayla Mullins, and Samantha Taylor are all good solid players that had the unfortunate task of playing behind the class of 2012, I think they will suprise people. I think the biggest plus for South will be junior to be Emma Sedoris. I talked to her Mom last week and she said Emma was having a good AAU summer so far. She is tall and strong, if South can establish an inside game with her , I think they will have a very good team. There are also several other good juniors(Schumm & Platt) and sophomores that will contribute. The first step will be hiring a coach. IMO the obvious choice is Christy Higdon, the JV coach. I don't know why they are delaying the decision.

Just starting interviews this week- 3 strong "highly qualified" candidates - it all that we have heard. By the time they finally hire someone, June ball will be over. Assistants doing a good job of getting some things scheduled.

 

This group of players lacks significant varsity game experience- so the more they play, the better.

 

Hopefully we will know something soon.

I'm sure the assistants are doing everything they can and I commend them for having the girls best interest in mind. However, the longer the administration drags this out, the more it effects the girls. They need a coach now and there's no excuse for not having one. The assistants can work their butts off this summer but if the new coach comes in with a different philosophy, they are back to the starting block. With all they lost from graduation and the transition of the players that are coming back, it is critical to have a coach and know what direction they are going. I hope this gets resolved soon and Sourh can prepare for the upcoming season. I wish the girls the best.

Kind of off topic, but who did Oldham end up hiring?

AGREE TOTALLY!

A decision should be announced soon --- or so I hope.

My daughter told me tonight that Christy Higdon got the job. Good decision! She will do well!

Good for South! She knows the girls well and should be able to make the transition a smooth one. Wish her and the girls the best.

Congrats to Coach Higdon and the Lady Dragons!
