twopac 10 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 so carroll and graham have already advanced to the region 4 tourney and the winner of Tazewell and richlands advance as well, is that correct?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldskool 10 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 I want to be one of the first ones to congratulate the G-Girls on making it to Regionals. It has been over 30 years and that is something to be proud of. They have had a few good teams in the past but didn't make it this far which is due to the coaching situatuions in the past 10 years. Even if they don't make it out of the first round it's a major accomplishment and I'm proud of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlraskul 10 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 it's not always about talent; it's about getting players to buy into the program you're building. and, frankly, i disagree with you a little bit. graham's got a ton of height, and some young talent. but, all in all, i think they've got zero pure, game-dominating, blueblooded, experienced athletes. they give teams matchup problems because of their inside height, and therefore, rebounding edge and second-chance points potential. it's not a bad thing, necessarily, but it is what it is. here's my point: trade places--t.wyatt to tazewell, mitchell to graham. who'd be the more successful team then? hunter and sutherland are 100% athlete and all-around players. it'd be something to see them flourish under wyatt's tutelage. they'd be straight-up dangerous.

Hacker 82 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 I think the key here is athletes buying into the program. The Graham girls play as a team and everyone seems to buy into being a part of something good. They play very well together, and it seems someone different steps up every night.

littlraskul 10 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 i couldn't agree with you more. and such selflessness in players only further points to good coaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcecilgolf 11 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Comment on the Tazewell situation.... You can not combine freshman and seniors and expect to have a successful program. Even if the talent is present, egos get in the way and they can't work as a team. That is pretty evident this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlraskul 10 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 a team of freshmen and seniors can be successful. just ask graham or carroll, who both regularly start or rotate in freshmen. the problem i see at ths is lack of floor leadership. anyway, here's my five, in order, of course (granted, i've not seen grundy): jessi watts- nobody in the swd does a better job of running an offense kelsey sutherland- tremendous young shooter with a ton of upside allie hunter- excellent ball-handler, but shows immaturity and a total lack of leadership when she's frustrated and asks to be subbed out and/or quits on plays chelsea gallinger- consistent clutch player for the g-girls sydney webb- dangerous from three, very strong on defense i almost put graham's lorey spade ahead of webb, as i see lorey as the more consistent all-around shooter of the two. but, webb is far, far better defensively. as far as carroll's courtney edwards goes, i think she is very consistent and definitely has the potential to be a top-five swd player, but in carroll's offense, she's underutlilized and fades in comparison to watts, webb, and even kayla goins. richlands's jenny keene hasn't shown me anything special. just because she's the best player rhs has this year doesn't mean she's top 5 swd. or even top 10. the roberts twins definitely stand out as rebounders, but neither are stellar scorers, imo. i'd put them at #7 and #8, behind spade. lawrence is, quite possibly, the most boneheaded girls' player i've seen in quite a while. she has a ton of potential, but doesn't play with her head, getting into foul trouble nearly every game, on stupid, stupid fouls. i'd put her behind keene.

littlraskul 10 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 as far as the carroll girls go, both webb and watts play volleyball. sydney (webb) was swd player of the year this past season, and jessi (watts) was 1st team all-swd. i think one or two of our freshmen may play soccer, kayla goins being one.

littlraskul 10 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 i'd like to totally amend my previous statements about richlands's jenny keene. when i saw her play graham earlier in the week, she was either having an off-game or graham was doing a heckuva job defensively, as she was neither very impressive nor productive. however, she had a much better outing tonight against tazewell, and truly displayed both heart and talent. kid's definitely a player, but unfortunately is on a team that, frankly, isn't very good. all things considered, i'd put her in my swd top 5, most definitely.

carrollfan 15 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 if you are talking about the girl from richlands that was bringing the ball up the court every time, then I would have to disagree with your statement. She got away with about 6 travels tonight all in the first half. I left at half time so I did not get to see the end of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
