Good win for the Red Colonels!

Duplicate thread... Can a mod delete one please

Like I said last night, Dixie's win over Taft, on a nuetral floor, was a quality win.

 

Here's a recent article:

Taft eyes No. 1 ranking after beating Woodward

This game was the first of the year that primarily saw the 8-man rotation that was expected for the season (7 seniors and super Soph Hunter Meyer). A 9th player (JV player) saw about 1-2 minutes in the first half, but that was it.

 

Hedger and Bolin swapping in and out for one another always gave Dixie a strong inside presence. And Drew Moore's athleticism, defense and ball handling really helped. They still won't fully hit their stride until January IMO though, because the football guys are still a little rusty, they are still figuring out the offense and roles, post Hatton, and Bolin will be gone for a couple of weeks here soon for a family vacation. I think after he returns Dixie will need 2 more weeks to get the team to gel.

You've got to be kidding.....REALLY!!!!

 

I've got to agree with Danny on this one......."Sounds like total dedication" :no:

Are there any repercussions for his absence?

There should be...coach should tell him if he is not there for practice and games, don't come back because you will be officially off the team.

Not the kid's fault...I'll leave it at that but I'm sure Ennam would agree.

I have no idea of anything except that the player will be gone for a period of time. I'm just looking forward to a time during this season when Dixie is at full strength for a couple of weeks and are competing at their peak level.

 

The thing that is kind of a bummer, for the team, as well as the player, is that he has been playing his best ball of his career. He has really come into his own this year and has been a real difference maker.

 

I hope he can come back and not miss a beat, for his sake and the team's.
