IMO: it is pretty simple---Beechwood.

 

I agree over the last 2 years Shumate has made this team almost unstoppable against d3 teams.:banana:

Yeah but that team is gone and there is a new team. The Tigers can't sleep on Dayton or Villa this year or that will change quickly.

WHy no love for the Bellevue Tigers....They have a new, young coach this year who wants badly to get the Tigers turned around and make some noise in the district this year. Bellevue has always had some good athletes on campus and I'm sure coach Menefee will be adding some new wrinkles to the Tigers game plans. The succes Bellevue is enjoying in other sports, Football specifically, should help to get some of the interest lost in Tiger basketbll in the recent past back. I know the new coach has been putting the word out that he intends to bring a fun, fast paced style to the court that should help to get some of the better ball players interested in playing for the Tiger basketball team. I hope to catch a game this year early to see what the new coach is bringing to the table this year. I hope other Tiger fans do the Same. GO TIGERS! :clap:

No knock on Bellevue, but they seem to have a new coach every two years. Hunter Jones I heard wasn't at Bellevue anymore and he was a major part of that team.

I seen them play last year a few times Freshmen up to Varisty.Unless they have some new faces on the court it could be a few long years for these Tigers. IMO

I understand, but I think a new, younger coach, whom I know for a FACT really wants to be there to build a program to compete for championships would bring out a few new faces. Besides, basketball on the small school level is not like a football program where you have to have a 10-15 good athletes or more. You only need a 2-3 good basketball players and a handfull of roll players to really see the difference in a program. You can't tell me there are not a few good ball players in all of Bellevue. I think Coach Menefee will get some of these kids and make some noise sooner than expected. I hope so for the school and the community both.:ylsuper:

Are you serious?:laugh: How do you expect Bellevue to compete for championships when they cant even hold a coach for more than 2 or 3 years?

AS a former Bellevue grad I sure hope they can get someone that stays longer than 1 or 2 yrs. It is becoming an embarrassment if you ask me.

I would be willing to bet Mr. Menefee stays long enough to experience some success that is long overdue in Tigerland. He's from here (Ft. Thomas) and is staying here. Unlike some of the previously hired coaches. Mr. Menefee is probably looking to have some long-term success in both his teaching and coaching career right here in NKY. Again, unlike some of the previously hired coaches.:thumb::thumb:

Absolutely. If Championships are not your goal, then you better find some other line of work, other than coaching. There are many types of Championships to win at Bellevue. Be it a holiday tournament Championship, a small school ALL A Championship, a Conference and Regional Championship, District Championship, and so on. If those were not some of Mr. Menefee's goals as head coach at Bellevue, then I think is his tenure at Bellevue would be short lived. But I know him just well enough to tell you those are some of his goals for the Tiger Basketball team!:clap:

Im pretty sure we hear this every year Bellevue hires a new coach about how they are just going to completely turn around the program and be able to compete with the D1 and D2 schools.

Your correct, and how many of those coaches stayed long enough to see that come to fruition. NONE!....That's my point. I believe the new coach will be around long enough to see some of the success other coaches lacked at Bellevue. He has to get the talent out of the halls and playgrounds in Bellevue and get them in the gym. Bellevue has just as much talent, maybe even more, roaming the halls as any of the better small school basketball teams talked about in this thread. It will take hard work and dedication, no doubt, to make this happen. I have faith that the new coach will make this happen, but it is a marathon, not a race to build a solid foundation for any high school sport. I think with Mr. Menefee, they finally have gotten right in Tigerland. JMO.

We will see what happens this season :popcorn:

IMO it is between Dayton and Villa for THIS YEAR. Beechwood is filled with athletes, a great coach, and a tradition of winning, but I just don't think they have the overall talent and depth that they have had in the past. They deserve all the respect and praise for what they have done in the past, but I believe this is the year they come up a little short. Villa and Dayton played twice last year with Dayton winning by two and Villa winning by three. With niether teams graduating major contributers, I look to both of their matches this year to decide the DIII title. The one wild card I have come across is the new center that Villa has had transfer in from Cov Cath. He is only a sophomore, but he has size and talent. If you have ever seen a Villa game, it is usually all guards running around with Bryan doing most of the scoring and good shooters on the wings with no inside precence. This year they have that inside game to compliment Bryan and the other shooters. Dayton presents the physical game that most teams at this level can not match. They are talented, hard working, well coached, and despite what most people belive, I feel well disciplined. Whom ever can come together as a team and not be so inner focused on their "stars" will win this division.
