mdotson98 10 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Hurley escapes Twin Valley By LLOYD COMBS Bluefield Daily Telegraph The Bluefield Daily Telegraph Wed Jan 19, 2011, 05:00 AM EST PILGRIM’S KNOB, Va. — Twin Valley insists it’s intention was not to make it a physical game, but it turned into one. Hurley got a sheriff deputy’s escort out of the building as a precaution after an emotional — and physical — win over the Panthers. Austin Cooper scored 21 points to lead the Rebels to a 64-50 win in their Black Diamond District opener. The game was marred by 56 fouls, 34 by Twin Valley, 70 free throws, six players disqualified by personal fouls, plus two player ejections, and the removal of two fans from the stands. The Panthers a combined 17 first-half points from Joseph Fletcher and Daniel Hobbs and took a 30-27 halftime lead. Hurley did not respond well to the physical play of Twin Valley in the first half, but settled down in the second half behind Cooper and Dustin Waynick. That duo led two mini-runs early after the break and a 12-3 spurt late that gave the Rebels (10-1, 1-0) a 56-43 advantage after two free throws from Wesley Peck with 1:53 remaining. “â€In the second half we settled down and kept our composure, something we should have done in the first half,†Hurley coach Mark Cooper said. “They took us out of our game. We’ve just got to be more mentally tough when teams play us that way.†Waynick and Peck each finished with 14 points. Cooper contributed eight boards, six assists and four steals. Fletcher finished with 16 points and Hobbs 14 for the Panthers (5-5, 1-2). Twin Valley coach Brian Moore insists his intention was not to get overly physical as a way to get a reaction out of Hurley, or even as a means of disrupting its game. “We were just trying to survive,†Moore said. “We did not discuss being physical. Our only game plan was to control tempo and try and win a basketball game.†Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance 228 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 You know I don't understand somebody who puts these posts on here and acts as though they are a true fan but I have not seen you at the first game ? this makes about 3 post you have used someone else's words, if your gonna make a post and comment about a team at least watch a game first and use your word to describe what you think went on so I invite you mike to the next Hurley game and see for yourself maybe then you can use your own words instead of coping and pasting . he can post whatever he wants to post...i don't always make the rounds or check up on the scores and all that sort of thing...so it's nice to see stuff like this every now and then.

mdotson98 10 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) [Q I don't know who you are or how you know my name, but apparently you don't know me to well. If you did you would know that I have actually attended one game this season. The reason that I have not attended more game this season is due to that fact that my wife has been really sick. My wife has a blood clot in her heart. Which has caused us to spend 16 days this year in 3 different hospitals, 3 in Richlands 10 in Bristol and this past weekend 3 in Grundy. So before you open your mouth and talk about something you know nothing about you should stop and think first. I am a really big fan, and no I do not get to go to all the games, but I keep up with my school and can always tell you how they are doing, whats their record, what the score was to last nights game. I think this was very disrespectful for someone to open their mouth before thinking. Also thanks goes out to Lance for speaking up for me, I appreciate that man!

hokiepanther 10 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 How you gonna hate on a guy who posts up info for those of us who didnt get to attend the game? I mean I dont care if the guy sat on the bench with the players and kept stats, or got his information by way of a carrier pigeon lol.. Thanks mdotson.

hokiepanther 10 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Thats a classic Brian Moore move though, playing in a style opposite to that of his opponent.. No matter what level he's at.. he plays fast against slow teams, slow against fast teams, and physical against non-physical teams.. and it usually works out for him..
