Not surprised. I expected Bath to win.

Agreed with C-Town. You don't know what happened and what is going on at Walton. Just don't act like you know what you are talking about. The whole reason anyone is on this website is to discuss sports. So stop being a downer and let us discuss.:jump:

The only downer is you guys getting on and off the bandwagon. It's ok to be disappointed but your obvious jabs at the coach take away from the team and become a major distraction. Just appears that all year the Walton fans have had to point a finger everytime they lose. When they are winning it's great but when they stub their toe, it's the coach's fault. You won by 1 and lost by 4. My guess is if you played 10 times it would end up 5-5. Basketball is a game of runs. Just because you go up 16 on a tean does not mean you are better. If they survive the run and are able to make a run at you then you have to survive the run.

Again, looks like 2 pretty evenly matched teams to me.

WOW!!!!

Hat's off to "The Hill"

Ok thinking faster than I type. Will the final be played somewhere other than Bath or is he wishing!

He's saying that Rose Hill will forfeit the final on Friday if they make it because they are already scheduled to play Raceland in a regular season game.

I think he was joking.

The class a championship game is Friday. If Rose Hill is at Raceland, Richmond here we come.

I know you have to be posting this tongue in cheek because IF Rose Hill & Fairview were to win and play in the finals on Friday they would reschedule with Raceland.

Actually if Rose Hill & Fairview win then the underdog will have won both games in the semi's. I honestly look for Bath to beat Fairview.

Maybe the coach just wanted to lose on purpose.

During the Walton win streak everyone was going on about how great things were now and that the coach & players were now on the same page. 1 loss and we're back on the coach again. Give it up!! You all only beat them by 1 the first time so it's not a stretch that they beat you this time by 4.

Morgan's been playing really well lately. If Elliott beats West there will be 3 teams ( East, Elliott, Morgan) tied with the same record in the district. What are the seeds if Elliott beats West?? What happens if Elliott loses to West??

This is the toughest district in the 16th region from top to bottom.

She'll still be out for a while. Maybe a slight tear of the MCL. They dont know for sure yet.

Let's all hope for the best.

What's the latest on Vanderhoof?? Hard to replace the area's leading scorer.

Interesting comments I heard by the commentators in the short time I watched the game. They stated that this Minnesota team was expected to be good this year even before Tubby got the job. I think it was something along the lines of they knew they had good players returning who could score and who gained valuable experience last year. So, while they have probably exceeded expectations, the fact that they are winning games & being competitive is not a total shock.

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!!!!

Is Elliott County the best 16th region team ever? I'm not saying they are this year but what about next year if they continue to improve like they have from year to year. I'm just looking for opinions on this. Maybe the older prepsters can compare them to teams in the 50's, 60's, and 70's. They are very impressive this year but just think about next year, WOW! If they continue to improve the sky is the limit for this team. What are your thoughts? Should they be considered one of the best ever?

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.
