You really have to understand Villa, these kids are spending as much time at the conservatory of music, State academic teams, etc. It is rare to see the same kids on the starting 5 on the basketball team as are on the school academic team, or performing at the conservatory of music, but this is true at Villa. This is not bragging but basketball is one important thing among many important things.

 

The school is proud of these kids for mutliple reasons. Winning a basketball Region is just never the goal but when you make it to the show it simply adds to the significance of the overall accomplishments of this great group of girls.

 

And this is strictly my opinion. As stated above you will see Villa compete and represent their district with pride and determination. I too expect a good game on Monday.

 

Nothing wrong with academics first. The girls at VMA should be proud of themselves. The chance to compete at this level I'm sure will be quite an experience for them. It sounds like you are very torn about this game. Good luck to both teams. I still believe that a tougher schedule can help anyone, but I do see your point.

I am connected in odd ways to every team in this Region. It will be hard to watch teams fold their tents and will be rewarding watching someone advance to Diddle. A very special place.

 

I really mean it when I say good luck to all.

I'm not trying to start anything and I"m not sure of my numbers. But the larger schools in the area(Boone, Ryle, Holmes ) as I understand it are about

3to4x as lrge as NCC and they compete with the larger Schools. I' don't think the poster is saying VMA should play to many schools that size but just toughen up the schedule a little. Playing tougher cometition is the only way to get better and IMO the kids always feel better if they compete with good teams. Win or loose, as long as the can be competitive. The kids might start out getting beat badly but if they work at it they might even pull off some big upsets in march.

does anyone no the size of the schools I mentioned including NCC.

* My guess on starters

Not to change the subject but being a Beechwood Alumni I know a little about small schools. Beechwood High still has a very small enrollment and I look at their football schedule every year and see they don't shy away from anyone, no matter the size of the school. This is one of many reasons they have had such a dominant program over the years. From a player's standpoint(football, basketball, soccer,etc.) I always wanted to play the best to see how we faired.
