I said that if she scored 20 points that would be points that someone else would not. They scored 50 last night, do you think that they would have scored 70 with her on the floor.. [b]I know the coach there very well and he would not showup anyone by scoring that many.. [/b] She will be a good part of that team and she is a good kid. I have coached her. I am just saying that the points will be spread out.. Like I said there are only so many trips up the floor, and only one ball to go around. [/quote] I think there are a few people that would disagree with you on that one!  ;) [/quote] I have watched him coach for over 15 yr, and I have never seen him leave his starting 5 on the floor just to run up a score.. And In yrs past it has hurt them in the playoffs, when the starting five had to play the entire game , after blowing out every team in dist. and having to set most of the second halfs. Now If the second string was scoring , the other team need to stop that ,not him. As long as he pull out of the press, if the other team cant score or stop the second string for scoring, maybe they should have stayed home ;D

[quote name="basketball25" post="1110270" timestamp="1320884732"] I coached her too, and she will be the best player in that district I can promise you that!!! [/quote]I am not doubting that.. Now that the Franklin Girl has left Evadale and is playing in Buna..But its hard to compare the two, one is a postup player and the other a  scoring guard.

[quote name="tvc184" post="1110155" timestamp="1320879006"] Let me get this straight, when the feds go up on taxes, the people have less money in their pockets to spend. Even though they have less to spend, they will then spend more on goods and services in their state so the state will get more taxes? I've got it now. When you have less take home pay, you spend more. Right. TB has figured out the solution. If we tax people more and they have less to spend on their bills and luxuries, they will respond but spending even more. Can someone other than TB explain that rationale to me. [/quote] See I knew that this was beneath you ;) ,seeing you are in the top 1% making over 250,000 a yr. :o Because that is the only class that is getting the Bush Tax Cuts. But With that money put into the ecom. people WILL have more money to spend, and The TOP 1% will have less to  hide overseas....

The Bush tax cuts have nothing to do with Ohio. Your usual blame Bush cry is again wrong and not even in the same ballpark. Bear in mind that the Democratic controlled Congress extended the Bush tax cuts and Obama signed it. [/quote] I know this my be beneath you But as Soon as the Fed taxes get back into the system people will have more money to spend in the STATE STORES and and pay STATE TAXES that puts money back in the State Budget.. And Obama Did Extend the Tax cuts, not one of my favorites moves, And he has made a few misstakes and that was one of them.. But at least he has not gotten in to a Trillion dollar war( The report disavowed previous estimates of the Iraq War's cost as being under $1 trillion. the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan could cost taxpayers a total of $2.4 trillion dollars by 2017 when counting the huge interest costs because combat is being financed with borrowed money. The CBO estimated that of the $2.4 trillion long-term price tag for the war, about $1.9 trillion of that would be spent on Iraq, or $6,300 per U.S. citizen)

Glad to hear that . But I dont know about putting up 20 more points, She might score 20 but that will only take points away from someone else.. There is only one ball and everyone cant have it ;)

What has happen to the girl that moved from Deweyville to Evadale?? Is she going to get to play??

I have been looking forward to this time of yr of 28 yrs And Now for the first time I do not have anyone to follow in Highschool  Basketball  :'( :'( :'( :'(

I guess it just how you look at it... In the 4 and 5a schools were there are 25 to 30 kids standing on the sideline, putting 50 + on someone might seam ok But when you only have 11 to 15 on the sideline and over have of them are 14 and 15 yrs old. What have you proven by running up a score?? In most small 1 and 2a schools kid are playing both ways. So why keep beating them ,when the game is out of hand.

[/quote] Look at the scores throughout the state from week to week and you'll see lots of teams who get beat by 40-50 pts AND they aren't throwing in the towel... Cleveland just got beat by 61 and 46 (I believe in back to back weeks) and yet they didn't quit and came back and beat a team (in Liberty that many thought they had little chance to win) and probably secured the 3rd and last playoff spot in their district....They were also down a couple TD's in that game before regrouping and getting the win...It would've been very easy for them to just shut it down after the results from the prior couple of games, however, they didn't and it'll serve all of them well in the future whether it be in a sport or in life... Moral of the story is you don't quit/give up and you don't start giving less just because things are going terribly wrong or you might be getting embarrassed...You pick yourself up and try to get better in hopes of improving the results the next time out!!  If the players aren't at least learning this one valuable lesson from participating in athletics then really what is the point?

The Rebels will return three starters from last years State Runner Up team in shooting guard, Devon Murphy; small forward, Shawn Totten and point guard, Brandon Bruce. The Rebels lost the big senior class in numbers and height, but a couple of other players from last years team can be looked on to fill those wholes. Post, Kyle Taylor got plenty of playing time last season and playoff experience as well. Bradien Burford also was brought up from the JV by coach Laurence Williams so there are five players (four of those are seniors) who bring plenty of experience and knowledge of the system into this season. There are some talented players that will make the move up from the JV squad too!

The Rebs will be trying to replace 3 all dist big guys and learing to play a different style of ball. I look of them to strugel in predist. just like in football, but by the time dist. rolls around they should be playing good ball. The key to this yr, as in all yrs, is to limit the turnovers, and get their shooting guard open looks. They are going to be smaller than they have been in 3 yrs, so they will have to relia on speed and good shooting.
