Sources 10 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 I was told last night that Bluefield lost to Summers Co. in basketball earlier this week. Can anyone either confirm or deny this? I hope it was a sick joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 I'm sorry, but that's down right pathetic. No Bluefield team had ever lost to SC prior to Tuesday night. It just further illustrates my comment about a month ago about this being the worst Bluefield team in a decade. I honestly think it's time to move guys like Kyle Hammond, Ansel Ponder, and Maurice Jordan up to varsity full-time and start building for next year. They could help this year quite honestly and having them develop some chemistry with the players currently on varsity that'll be back next year will only make the team stronger.

bluefieldRocks 14 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Yea we lost, it was 75-60 i think... We just have off games i guess I was hoping this far along in the season that we'd be pretty unbeatable. And was i wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
convertedbeaver 10 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 they need to open up the o a little bit more in my mind. its not that they have a bad team they are a team that starts out very slow. and speed up as the game goes on and it has happened all year. plus they had 2 big games this weekend they may have been over looking the bobcats. who knows??

Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 It all goes back to poor play on the defense end of the floor. You have a couple of guys playing all-out defense and a couple slacking off. Defense is a TEAM effort and you're only as good as your weakest link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sources 10 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 You don't have off-games and lose to Summers County, it is completely unacceptable. Back when I was in school three years ago, having an off-night meant beating Summers Co. by 15 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franklin 10 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 But still yet lost to Independence before you could even make it to Charleston... So what kinda night was that? The point is every team has an occasional bad game, its how teams rebound is what matters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 No, that team went to Charleston, beat the defending champs in Bridgeport before falling to eventual state champ Wyoming East in the semi-finals. That's the team that played without Justin King from the third game on and without Steve Wilkes for the majority of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this year's team had 1/4 the heart of the 2001-2002 team, then things might be looking pretty good for them. We get mauled by injuries for most of the season, went 12-12, and no one believed we were better than our record indicated. We proved many of the naysayers wrong even if we did lose to eventual AA champs Wyoming East in the semifinals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
