Have to sit out first two games. Dogs already have a short bench, take out 2nd and 3rd best players, primary ball handler and 2nd and 3rd scoring options and they had absolutely no chance vs a team like Warren.

Thanks for the recap as always Pfloyd, I'll make sure to come say hi today up in the "cheap seats".

Why would they have to sit the first 2 games?

Always something going on at Athens LOL

They seem to never be at full strength when they lose a big game. Mysterious

Incident in football

One big things that was failed to be mentioned in all the talk about how young Warren is is that Stadleman is back. Yes he’s a sophomore, but he started every game last year. So yes they are young but they bring back 2 starters and arguably their two best players from last year.

Except he didn't, he started about halfway through the season.

Stadelman started playing MORE after Jan 1 ... became the Warren perimeter threat by season's end ...
