1/27 Athens @ Vinton County

[93Bulldog]

Well, I don't have the luxury of knowing what goes on behind the scenes. And the only stats I keep are points, rebounds and turnovers - so I can't really dissect statistics either. I can only go on what I see on the court night in and night out.

I've only been able to watch Athens twice this year (both games against VC) & their biggest issue is their 3 point shooting. They rebound well & get a decent amount of offensive rebounds, but lack 3 point shooting. In the two games I've watched, I haven't seen a consistent 3 point shooter. If Lutz had that like Bartoe does, he'd have more room to drive into the paint & do Griffin Lutz things.

Tough to matchup against VC no matter who you are. Jones & Yates (who are the 2nd & 3rd best players on our team) would be the star at 90%+ of the schools in this area. So it's hard to judge Athens on the defensive end for me due to only watching them play VC.

93, was the game as bad a beat down as you made it sound last night, just caught the end of the 3rd and the 4th.

It was 85-52. That's a 33-point win. Not sure I made it sound like anything except what it was.

The frustrating part for Athens fans is - for a quarter and a half, they looked and played as well as VC. Even led after the first frame. But the game ended up being a microcosm of the entire season: look great one minute, bad the next. Athens was terrific versus Fairland, put four good quarters together and should have won the game in regulation. Three days later they play their worst game and lose to New Lex. Played a pretty good first half versus Warren, ended up losing by 20. I really thought Athens had the depth, the talent and the player (Griff) to contend with VC for a league title. Two games versus the Vikings ... 163-111 in favor of VC.

I just don't get it. I have no answer.

The answers are there if you look hard enough. Look at Statistics/Numbers and the Current Roster and You will have your answer 93Budog-And that is all I will say at this Point. You see the players on the court-but there is so
Much more-It is a Microcosm of Dynamics-The Direct results of things that happen behind the Scenes....

Isn't that coaching? Directing the ship, managing the players, setting rules and holding people accountable

So Visionquest, I must ask, (got a PM, telling me that all the parents but one signed a petition), were you one of the many who signed a petition to make this hire happen???? If so, you having buyers remorse?? And if there was never a petition, I will gladly retract my post and name the person who sent this to me. But this is a well verified and long time poster.

I see I hit a nerve here. So maybe you can explain to Raider what it signifies since ole Quest has gone into hiding.

I'm calling your bluff, I don't think 5 has anything to do with anything.

Nice try. It's eating at you isn't it.

Just ask Quest. He explained it a few days ago, and now Mom is on board.

From the post I seen it had nothing to do with FIVE, he was talking about the stats and numbers and behind the scenes, Only thing I got from that message was that his son was possibly having good stats and not much playing time....Don't see where FIVE comes in play.

It's in your message now too. You need to see the trees within the forest.

[sportsmom20]

Nope. Not a nerve, thought since people were posting veague nonsense I would too. Trust me Ground Buck if you hit a nerve with me you will know.
