How bout they play for it on Wednesday?

Great article. It's nice to see a tiny school get a little credit. Everyone knows they are not going to get past this week, but it is fun to see them there. They are a co-ed school with an enrollment under 200. They don't even have cuts on their basketball team, or any team for that matter. It's pretty unique. Anyone that comes out and wants to play is on the team. That has to be extremely difficult for those coaches at practice trying to deal with the not so talented younger players everyday. For them to even win a few games, let alone 15 and make the regionals is impressive. I know there are a lot of bigger and more talented programs sitting home right now, but the system is the way it is and Villa has made the most of it. Good luck to them this week.

:thumb: A great story about Villa on what they have accomplished this year. They are to be congratulated as their hard work obviously appears to have paid off.

 

On a side note I'm sure it was unintentional but the coaches remark with regards to drawing Ludlow in the district had to make the people down in Ludlow a little hot around the collar. If not it should.:ylsuper: I'd be saving that for the bulletin board next year.

I thought that too. I'm sure he didn't mean it to be harmful, just that they had already beat them, and they didn't want to play Dixie. And, BTW, I'm pretty sure that Ludlow wanted the same draw.

You may be right but Ludlow had beaten Lloyd earlier in the year and as was stated in the article lost 3 times previously to Villa. I also agree that no harm was intended by the Villa coach.

This certainly will catch the eye of a player or 2 in NKY who is not happy with their current level of PT and think about enrolling.

Looks like "Skinny" continues his penchant for making fact errors in his new assignment with The Enquirer. :sssh:

 

I'd like to offer Villa congratulations on a nice season, but after seeing one fact error in the story, I really didn't know what else to believe. :confused:

Can you tell what the fact error was before you call out "Skinny"? How do we know your right if we don't know the error ourselves???

Not trying to hijack the thread or anything like that. Just seems like a good place to ask this question. First congrats to the Lightning. I truly enjoyed their kids and their coaches when we played them this year. Great guys and proud of them for making it to the regional.

 

My question then is this? Why all the love and affection shown toward Villa, a team that clearly benefitted from the fact that their District is a blind draw district (no offense intended Ludlow guys, back off), yet Bellevue has been absolutely villified for doing EXACTLY the same thing? All this while the following are true:

 

Bellevue and Villa Split their conference games this year.

 

Villa was picked pre-season to be runner-up in the conference and ended up third.

 

Bellevue was picked no higher than fifth pre-season and finished second.

 

The Tigers expected to struggle to win 10 games yet won 15.

 

Remember it takes a MAJORITY of the members of each district to decide on Seeding. The MAJORITY (that's three schools) choose not to seed in the 36th but it seems as if the whole issue is being laid at the feet of the Bellevue program. Just wondering why?

 

Again, props to the Blue Lightning, way to go gentlemen!!

Not going to lie here....I believe you have a valid point...
