Your vision is skewed here because you are defending your husband and son, can't get much more biased than that. Proof that you are complaining that the Fairland fans sat behind your team in the stands, when it appears from another poster that was the assigned side of the gym. That's a pretty petty complaint.
Ummmm Sorry visionquest is not the wife of the coach, sorry buddy, that's me lol.

Re: Beasts of the Southeast : January 14, 2017
Wish I could've been there. These two teams are great to watch. A ton of talent on the floor at all times. Athens SEEMED to lose composure (maybe I'm way off)...facing a tough and athletic press can cause havoc. Even if they aren't turning it over they are often upping the pace and often the pressed team gets it across half court going quicker than they have the whole game and take shots that seem open but not in the flow of the game.
Athens will be better for this. They have faced another great tourney type opponent and have something specific they can work on. Closing out games against great teams takes a ton of mental toughness...going back and forth with the crowd is not recommended.
Fairland improves with this also. A great comeback without Van Horn. Other players are forced into a greater role. They'll be even better when he returns.
I did see posted that Athens was called for 10 consecutive fouls while they had a 6-10 point lead for most of it. Can someone verify this and describe the play a bit? I am not blaming any ref but am curious of the style of play. Did Fairland drive the lane more to get the fouls? It was said Fairland pressed and it is commonplace and understood...when you have the lead late and other team is pressing, they really let them play and you have to be really strong in taking care of the ball.
Great matchup and good luck to both

Im seeing a pattern with you here Barlow-you have a Beef with someone??-obvious from your remarks on this post and your "veiled" remarks on the post about being a Coach's Kid...whats the Beef with Athens???...And no I wasn't talking about the "inner city kids"-I was talking about the parents and fans-It was an example-A real life situationthebarlowbandit wrote:VisionQuest wrote:If there is a Film of this game you should definitely take a look at it....my observations will be proven-And there is a difference between "cheering" and holding your hands to your mouth and shouting toward the Bench of the

Lets see here-Open Forum about Basketball... Basketball is a game-Several integral parts and factors concerning this game-Players, Coaches, Officials and Fans-In real life we have Observations, perceptions, Bias and unbiased opinions and Facts....Seems all of this comes into play-Mix in some Emotion and a whole lot of Passion and This here is what we have-Makes for some interesting Reading on this Fine Sunday morning if I do say so myself-You Carry On now and have a Great Day-Athens and Meigs gonna be a Good One....tvc_fan wrote:Now see I make a statement not saying names or calling anyone out or any teams out and you go and get personal...I listened to the game on the radio, Athens people and they never one time mentioned fans being horrible.
My point is, 2 people bickering back and forth will never end and not what SEOP is for. Trying to identify someone from the boards as one of the fans....thats funny, I might have been the guy in the red jacket cheering Athens on....geesh.

Too bad Fairland is D3. Be fun to watch them play Athens at the convo. Athens and Fairland are two good teams. Athens goes 10 deep and Fairland has three kids that can take over the game.

Will the 6'8 kid be back this year? Athens seemed to score at will in the paint
Re: Beasts of the Southeast : January 14, 2017
Fans getting tossed is an embarrassment for the school,community and players no matter what the situation. Great game by both teams that should help them going forward.
Re: Beasts of the Southeast : January 14, 2017
I've heard and seen a few other posters that they hope to have him back by the end of the regular season or start of tourney playRaider6309 wrote:Will the 6'8 kid be back this year? Athens seemed to score at will in the paint

Wow, a person says officials are cheating "athens was hosed" and I admonish the constant blaming of officials and all the sudden I have something against Athens.
funny part is you aren't the one who said it, but you sure are defending it. Why don't you just give Fairlands kids a little credit and move on.

... peake71 !!! you made it !!! ... it was great to make the 2 hour journey to Chesapeake again this year - as long as I'm still kicking it will be an annual destination for the pfloyd tour - you folks are simply the best ... great hoops, great people, great food AND I'm surrounded by Purple & White !!! it's home away from home LOL ... I get so much support from the fine folks on the river - every year I meet more and more parents of players past and present from ALL teams ... Gage Rhoades came up to where I was sitting Saturday - I hadn't met him before - he just wanted to meet me and thank me for the prayers I said for him last year as he battled with his own health issue - he put a smile on my face just knowing that something I did through this website HE remembered and appreciated ... it's a credit to Coach Davis, his family and the folks he himself has been surrounded by growing up in Chesapeake ... he doesn't realize that the pleasure is all mine - being able to watch, enjoy what Gage and his teammates did out on the court ... it's those things - the interaction with the kids/parents/friends/coaches/players that make what I do worth doing - making moments and memories ...
... peake71 - sure was good to see YOU standing there when I walked through the doors - I was worried on the way down that I would get bad news about you my friend ... great to see you, Coach Davis and all of the folks who put this great event together every year for the last 8 years ... you ALL are the best ...

Athens has been apart of two very good games down at Chesapeake.
Nothing beats Luehram getting fouled and a Valley player getting a technical and Burrow shot all 4 free throws. Of course he did that in a tied overtime game
