Congrats to the Lady Rams.

Wow, that IS playing some defense, way to go Porter girls! To shut down two top notch players like Queen (in the 1st half) and Terry is one great effort. Congrats!:thumb:

Paige also hit a couple of big 3's when lady Rams needed them. Wow, she can shoot. :dancingpa

WOW

Queen: 18 pts, 8/12 shooting (all inside the arc), 2/4 free throws, 13 rebs, 6 stls, 4 asts

 

Terry: 4 pts, 2/9 shooting (0/4 3ptrs), 0/2 free throws, 5 rebs, 1 stl, 4 asts

 

Faulkner: 13 pts, 6/15 shooting (1/2 3ptrs), 0 rebs, 5 stls, 4 asts

 

Adkins: 4 pts, 2/7 shooting (all inside the arc), 1 reb, 2 stls

 

Dundon: 10 pts, 5/15 shooting (all inside the arc), 5 rebs, 1 stl

 

Gambill: 2 pts, 0/3 shooting (0/1 3ptr), 1 reb

 

 

Congratulations to Raceland for executing a wonderful game plan. Raceland doubled up on Queen and Terry and invited Rose Hill to try and beat them with their younger players....which RHCS, mistakenly in my view, seemed content to try. Tonight's opponent was not...with all due respect to a hard-working group of young kids....Bath County. Tonight was not the time to take the ball out of the hands of the senior leadership.

8 for 12 from the field and 18 points tells me that Queen should have been getting the ball more. That's 66.6% from the field.

Raceland did a great job tonight shutting down the big girls.

Hope the Vanderhoof girl is ok and is able to play Saturday.

 

Good luck.

Those stats aren't what I saw when I was on the floor tonight.

Agreed with the most of your post, but IMO the leadership is a little lacking, let me say it like it is. If the coaching staff is having a meltdown or a lack of preparation then these two top players can take matters into their own hands on and off the court. If they see they are getting doubled then make someone else step up and play, change the offense, change the defense in the middle of the game. It may sound difficult to do but all great players have done it at some point in their careers and made the coaches look like Wooden. Ask any good player if they have changed something in the middle of the game without permission and I would guess they did, this isnt dissing the coach and it is not a lack of respect for the caoch, but why run a play when you have an opening. Why continue in a man to man defense when it is killing you. Great players are Great Coaches on the Court. Not everything is the coaching staff's fault or the Referees fault. How many minutes did Gambill and Hammonds play? 2-4 minutes combined at the most. The younger players didnt cost RH the game, lack of intensity and NO, NO defense. Rams played a great game but Vanderhoof couldnt make it up the court tonight, and the Rams had way too many wide open looks, wide open threes and back door wide open layups. In a loss, everyone is to blame from the Coaches, to the Players to the Water boys. Bottom line RH didnt show up, this was not a case of the better team winning (NO offense to Coach Trimble and Lady Rams they played great) but No One in the Region should come close to RH girls. Leadership, Attitude, Hustle, Defense did not happen til late in the game. From an Outsiders popint of view and just my humble opinion, it seems that some of the seniors are sidetracked, not really focus until the game starts, you cannot win without mental preparation. They probably over looked the Lady Rams. I am now rambling time for me to go...

Wow those are the stats of tonights game? I must have been at a different game.

 

 

Compare them as best you can with any other source. The RHCS statistician is well-qualified and experienced and, as I've stated before, has been confirmed via films a number of times.

Very good post by Gottarebound.

Those stats aren't what I saw when I was on the floor tonight.

 

Then you are blind. Walrus, I've tried to be patient with you in the past and have toyed with you in response to your criticisms. Now, I'm asking you to put up or shut up.

Now the Lady Rams have to come back down off of the cloud of tonight and get re focused on Elliot Co. for the finals.

I must say Himmelfarb I usually agree with your post but on this one I am in agreement with Walrus. You state that the ball was taken out of the hands of the senior leadership, excuse me if I am mistaken but it is hard to run the PG position after you foul out of a ballgame. Gambill 0 turnovers from the PG position. Dont put this loss on some kids that only played a few minutes. The other Senior was getting Shaq'd every time she touched the ball. Until this team decides to play like a team then they are not going very far in the post season.

Then you are blind. Walrus, I've tried to be patient with you in the past and have toyed with you in response to your criticisms. Now, I'm asking you to put up or shut up.

 

If the Walrus is blind, I'm taking Himmelfarb is this showdown:D

Faulkner had more steals then Queen.
