Old Rambler you are correct, word had it that Coach Trimble was at every game last week that RH played. Their game plan was right on and RH seemed like they had none. I really didnt see this one coming but once again that is the world of sports, anything can happen once the ball is tossed up.

Hoose should have a big night, I wonder if they will stop the game or announce it after the game, when he breaks the record. They should give him some kind of acknowledgement, but after all we are talking about Russell. I wonder how much sleep Chris Jones got last night...ha ha

The Heart of a true Champion.

I know, and thats probably the fairest way.

Is tonight the night Vanhoose will make history?

Terry is going to have a big game tonight, she has been in a slump of late, she is do a big game, Emily is consistent so I believe she will play good. It will be an interesting game. Whoever wins this one will blow Elliot out of the gym come Saturday night. Nice brackets to have the two best teams not even playing for the Championship game...Rocket Scientists

I know it was, I was just stating that there alot of blind eyes...that was not a shot to you Jay Bilas.

History has a way of repeating itself...not for Holy Family of course but for some other Ashland schools

Tweetie Bird, lets just call him that, all you RH'ers start calling him that and He will love it, then maybe he can get a Tweetie Bird Tattoo, yeah, how about this one... ah never mind I need to think on it some more

and BTW, Emily is better looking than Ty

WHOOOAAAAA, Emily and Ty, let look at the similarities: 1. They are quick 2. They can jump 3. They can shoot 4. They can dribble 5. They can play defense 6. They can braid each others hair during timeouts

Roayls 72 , Rams 63 Just joking I have not seen the Rams play this year but based on my observations of RH that are some factors that will make this game a runaway, the fastbreak and the newly improved weaponry of Euton's post up game, he played really strong in the post last game, if would have played strong like against the mighty eagles it would have been a 13-17 point game for the Royals. This team is a team that the so-called favorites better not over look. Rose Hill is coming on strong and the Fraley is getting better bench play every game.

Heres a prediction that I made years ago concerning mens basketball and it may come true with womens as well. IMO there are a 2 things that has made the playing field so even (parity might be a right word to use here...) and has helped small schools, I am omitting coaches for right now b/c I believe everyone knows that is one of major ingredients along with the recruiting staff for any good program, but anyways on to the story. The question was posed to me 12-13 years ago about why the powerhouses are no longer the givens come tournament time and so forth, well, IMO here are 2 big reasons why in Mens there have been too many underclassman leave and turn pro thus every 2 years a Major powerhouse is in the rebuilding process and also there are so many good players now a days that they just dont want to go to a big school and sit the bench for 2 years before they get playing time, they are going to a smaller school so they can play and make an immediate impact, its not so much of being the big fish in a small pond as it is wanting to compete and to play right away. I believe that Womens basketball is headed in that direction, that these kids are hungry to play as freshmen so now there are many schools that are becoming good quality programs. Emily Queen made the right decision, she will be an impact player, while IMO she could play at a larger school but she probably would not get the opportunity to show her talent until her junior year...just my opinion. It really doesnt matter what size the school is anymore, with the right player anything could happen, (Mens 78-79 Season Indiana State...Larry Bird) in recent years Coach Mark Few has built a strong program with Gonzanga. BTW, Himmelfarb, I appreciated the article, once again you have proven yourself to be more than ever so generous to the blind eyes of this local community. With that I say thanks.

Thanks for the compliment shooter.You as much as anyone realize that Jonathan has had to overcome a great deal in regards to the gene pool on his fathers side.He definitely should be commended for this.Just think if he could drive right like his Dad....... He would be UNSTOPPABLE. I dont appreciate the comment about Jonathon's dad, I think Jonathon's dad was one of the greatest hackers of all time, he left many arms scratched and raw as they hobbled their way down the stairs from what they thought was going to be a friendly day at noon ball, If Jonathon works hard enough, after college he can become a hacker as well.

AC, thank you for the stats, I didnt know what his attempts were per game, if he is only getting 14 attempts per game then maybe he should shoot the ball more often but that might depend on the philosophy of the coach and his staff, I do know that Vanhoose works very hard and is deserving of all he gets. You claim that kids and teams work harder today in the off season, where do these workouts take place at? Just curious, at their houses? Their High Schools? You know as well as I know that statement simply is not accurate. You may have a few that work hard...Vanhoose, Barker, Euton, Hall, but overall not teams. Anyway thank you for your stats, you must be on the coaching staff of some team, or just another Scwabb.

Who is Tony? Never heard of him, is he a freshman also?

Me either, but I did go to school around here

These guys played for Meredith from 82-89. I can name players from every team in the region starting from about 77 and on. The same is true for Boyd, Ashland, Greenup. I cannot mention Fairview because they had players during this time that did take many shots per game

It is probably the first you ever read that mentioned Lance Shoulders, Jeff Porter, and Sean McKenzie, are you an old Russell boy, RickyP?

I have some more ...but for a another time, another place, another thread

IMO, ever so humble Opinion, Euton has a much better chance of playing in the Pro's than O.J. but that is MO, time will tell. It is hard to build a team around a point guard, just ask the 76ers. Ask the Lakers, all great teams except the Bulls were built around the 3-5 positions. Do not insult RH or Euton by calling him O.J. Too Bad, O.J. didnt go to Huntington St. Joe, wonder if he would win the state tourney then? He is all about the show and hype, but he is a great player, but Euton will be more effective on the college and Professional ranks. Lets hope and pray that he scores over 20 a game at USC or he will become just another playa, wireman I know you and I know you can come up with a better nickname, come on man.

In the words of Dirk himself the Dallas Maverick star on Dakota Euton...." Der, Ah, I believe that der kidddd from Ashhhland has my hair down pat, hey der Mark Cuban give me some Lauger..."

Vanhoose is a great player, what is his average shot attempts per game? Most of the players who played for Coach Meredith in the 80's did not take much more than 10-13 shots per game, including Chris Jones, Ryan Watkins, Scott Humphrey, T.J. Maynard, Lance Shoulders, Steve Day, Jeff Porter, Sean McKenzie, Todd Parsley, Mark Watkins, Dave Porter, ...these guys were great but very unslefish. Vanhoose is a very good player and breaking Chris Jones' record will be a great accomplishment but teams just arent the same as they once were. I am not taking away anything from Vanhoose, he has worked hard but the above names outside of Maynard shot well over 50% from the field, Parsley and R.Watkins in the low to Mid 60's. If Vanhoose would have played for Meredith, he would have shared the wealth, and he does pass the ball NOW. I wish there was a way to have time travel and see different players from different eras compete, like a shoot out with Harold Sargent, Mickey Syndstricker, Steve Skaggs, Jeff Hall, Chuck Cantrell, Clarence Thompson, Ty Barnes and Jon Vanhoose, now that would be great. Keep working hard Vanhoose.
