SMOKEANDMIRRORS

As stated before --it is not classified by KHSAA as a state tournament.

I agree she did a great job and far more difficult than most are giving her credit for, with the degree of expectations of success with this team. It seemed to me a large portion of posters expected the team to implode or for her to make a huge blunder. I also found it telling in the amount of posts saying the opposing coach WOULD make the difference in the game (W.Carter,Russell.Rowan). Well now that the dust has settled its only Coach Euton and her girls that are going to Bowling Green. Maybe she'll still have to win a few at state for the naysayers to come aroundand thats too bad. Congrats and good luck at state Rose Hill.

I think alot of people are missing one the main points of the Original thread. WHY the outcry on the public/private debate and nothing said about small/large school division!!!! --IF it is true that all is wanted is it to be fair to all kids. I think it is hypocritcal to support a division or levels in the private/public and not support the same based on size and # of students. If you want one left alone---leave it all alone .

IMO--the strong point of The Guru's arguement is ---WHY all the talk and committees about making sports fair for all with regard to private vs. public and NO outcry against small vs. large schools IF you are really trying to make it fair.

Well said:ylsuper: :ylsuper:

What about the 2002-2003 season? --since you said they would schedule if seeded.

Is that a prediction or a wish?

Its always something BESIDES the best team won--isnt it. Please save your sour grapes for another thread. IMO the only way RH loses this is to leave a few players home. RH already knows what happens when you dont come ready to play(All A), and they will be ready to lower the hammer tonight. Great job by Euton last night of regrouping her troops after a tough 1st quarter,keeping them focused, to go on to 22-0 run and sealing the victory.:ylsuper:

Those predicting a Russell victory kept saying the difference would be Kidwell. The only trick Kidwell could have done to win this one would be to hide Queen, Terry and Faulkner's uniforms so they couldnt play. Russell played with heart but the most talented team won--pure and simple.

I heard Ashland's schedule was already full and set? I guess the answer to that question depends on which team is trying to schedule them:rolleyes:

Nice list. How many schools in the top 25 in b-ball, will steer away from them?(even for 1 year) IMO not many ,unless theyve already been eliminated by the pair.

Congrats to Russell!! I think they will be playing R.H. in the regional finals.

I Agree. The line gets fuzzy for people(although it shouldnt) when they dont seperate "supporting a program" and "condoning wrong behavior". It sends the wrong message to our young kids and adults that its OK to act in certain way as long as your an athlete or on a certain team.

Well Said!!! :thumb:

And he(along with Chad Jackson and Bair) will not be typical 9th,10th 11th or 12th graders. IMO That looks more intimidating in print than it sounds.

Rickey P ,who you quoted , was referring to the # of fouls in the 1st half.

The things that keep kids happy are playing and winning. I think these kids believe in themselves and realize how close they were last night even though they are young.

I thought the difference in the game was speed and strength,mostly strength. Rose Hill's youth showed especially in the strength catagory. Both teams showed a lot of heart and determination. I was surprised with R.H.'s degree of maturity in keeping it together(when they were 13 down) and making a great run at the end,especially when they had on the floor at times only one sophomore and freshman and 3 eighth graders. I think it bodes well for that group over the next few years as they develop and improve.

And Williams And Mcdavid

Russell by 8. I think a healthy Blair will be the difference!

I agree but I think they are playing better and much more consistently than most thought they would ,a few short weeks ago. I think they are moving in the right direction at the right time.

What do mean by regularly or consecutive years . There are multiple sports they have played against each other for some time . Some I know of for at least 6 years. You should get your facts straight.
