That's a worthy goal, but it usually takes a while to build that. Cumberland has come a long, long way in just a couple of years.

Very much so, and my point is that last night was a very lackluster performance by Cumberland and all of the subbing that was done in the first half and early in the 4th quarter (along with Harlan shooting well and playing inspired ball in the first half) contributed to that. Cumberland is in a lot of people's minds the top team in the Region and they forced an 0-5 team into 32 turnovers and still only put up 58 points and won only by 18, and IMO that is just not near what this team is capable of and is a little bit disturbing.

Cumberland has come a long way in 3 years. As a basketball fan, its good to see kids play as hard as the Redskins. Some of us appreciate what they have done there. Old School you are pretty hard on the team after 4 games.

It is called having high expectations for a special group of kids, possibly something you know very little about.

What makes those kids any more special than any other kids ? Judging from your response, you must be a parent to one of the players. And you get on a public forum to question your coaches decision. Thats really nice of you parent.

I am just a big Cumberland, Harlan County and Mountain sports fan making observations on these and many other games and events just like a lot of other people on this website. I am sorry that you feel that you must try to give some sort of lecture to me about what I post on here. It is a great country we live in, everyone is entitled to an opinion and has the right to express it, as for this game and its issues I think there has been enough said. Have a great day sir

You can give them what ever you want HDE, but I am just saying that Cumberland should beat a team like Harlan by 30 plus points and if they dont, then they have not, and did not last night play to their potential and I just dont like to see this team play that way. They need to establish the level of excellence that they are capable of and be consistent with it, like Elliot County (94-41 over Boyd County) JBS (100 to 40 something over Jenkins) and Shelby Valley (90-52 over a solid Covington Scott High) and not just beat 0-5 teams and 2-5 teams like Harlan and Barbourville by only 15 to 19 points. Establish an excellence that does not give their competitors much expectation of success against the the Skins. A lot of people may not understand what I am talking about, but I guarantee you the Scott County's, the Lexington Catholics, the PRP's, the Ballards, and the South Laurel's of the world know very much what I am talking about

 

But you are not Elliot County(06/07 region champs), Shelby Valley(06/07 region champs), and JBS(06/07 region champs). You are Cumberland(06/07 All A region champs) there's the difference.
