Elliott by 20+.

I heard last week that she only had a mild sprain but have heard in the last day or 2 that she was going back to see if it was more serious than previously believed. Let's hope that is not the case. Great kid from a great family who has been through more than 1 kid should have to with 2 ACL injuries over the last 2 years. From everything I have ever heard about her she loves the game and, as good a player as she is, I hear she is even a better teammate. That is rare!!! I sincerely hope for her that the first diagnosis is the correct one!!!!

They are very good and COULD be mentioned with the all time best teams by the time they graduate if they continue to improve but they haven't proven that they deserve to be mentioned there yet. If they can make 3 straight trips to Rupp that will help. Keep in mind, this is a very down year in the 16th region and they got a major scare last night from East. There have been many seasons over the last 25 years where this team would have at least 4 or 5 losses within the 16th region. Like I said, while they are very good and may be one of the best when it is all said & done they do have the luxury of playing in the weakest 16th region in the last 25 years.

The 2nd team learns what it's like to play against a first team's press in practice. They face it every day. Can't imagine you have never heard that pressing the lower reserves when you have yet to press the whole game & the other coach calls off the dogs in the 4th quarter is bush league. To me, that is no different than a coach who runs up the score on a lesser opponent by pressing the entire game. What benefit does your team gain by pressing only the reserves other than the GIFT of saying that you lost by 15 rather than 30???? Now, if we are talking 1st through 3rd quarters and you are pressing regardless of who is in, that is different. No complaint there. But, the same coach who presses only when the other coach calls off the dogs will scream that the other coach is classless if he never pulls his starters and beats his team the way they could. I've seen it happen first hand. Listened to a coach complain before a game about how classless another coach was by not playing his reserves and scoring 100 points on his team and beating them by 40 points. During our game, we are up 30 early in the 4th and started subbing to show some class and not demoralize the kids and what does that coach do?? Starts pressing our JV & middle schoolers after not pressing the whole game. We won by around 15 and just sat there and shook our heads at the coach while he frantically coached his team in the press. BUSH!!!!

Ding Ding Ding we have a winner!!! Kind of an unwritten rule. Don't wait until my subs come in to throw on the press. If you want to press, press my starters. 2 words, as Intentional Foul stated: BUSH LEAGUE!!!!

Tough loss for Morgan. Rowan was lucky to escape with the win. 16th Region is not a one team race.

Never said you were a bad guy. Can't ever see myself eating muskcrat but I can be persuaded to eat some beavertail if it's fixed just right!!

Thanks for the offer but I think I'll be fine. Reading that was kind of like a flu shot. One dose gets you through until next year!! :thumb:

No one in the 16th will beat them and you certainly cannot press them and hope to beat them. That will result in easy baskets. In reality, there isn't a team within 20 points of Elliott in the 16th. On a bad night with the other team having their best night they will beat everyone by more than 10 points. That's just the reality in the 16th this year and maybe next year too.

I for one feel so much better after reading those posts.

Sorry, that was Varsity09 who said that. I just didn't go back and check to make sure. My bad.
