Re: Alexander Volleyball POSITIVE

Pay to play at a D3 or by scholarship to a D1? I believe the later was part of the recruiting pitch.

Re: fix athens program

Ok, Spartys, I'm posting but not directing anything towards you so don't get hostile when you see my name- XC- I've heard a lot of grousing too and have been the source of some it. But I wonder how much disastifiaction there is. It is hard to get any true sense. I'm not sure if this site is represen...

Re: Athens v. Chilli

93-

Consitency is the biggest weakness. I'd like to know the stats of all the players on kills, blocks, passes-digs, serving %. I believe that they are kept?

Re: ALEXANDER LADY SPARTANS VOLLEYBALL

Admar-

You are an enigma. You generally support Coach J but yet below you question what he did last night. And I agree with your point.

I wonder, was it the local Alex kids who benched and watched the recruits play? How exciting for them!!!!

Re: Athens v. Chilli

Chuckles, I love you Man. You are one astute Spartan. Sorry, though, I don't think we can hang with you given the recruiting (see other postings) and the terrible coaching. (1): The players can tell you who the three are. They deal with it all the time. (2): I'd like to know what captain and four ye...

Re: Athens v. Chilli

In no way were my comments intended to personally attack any players. ( I admit that I do that with Coach J becasue he is so deserving). They were assessments that I suspect a lot of folks think are legitimate. These high school players are preparing themselves for the real world where you are evalu...

Re: Athens v. Chilli

93- Respectfully disagree on WTwins. I've wathced a lot too and they are overrated. They are poor servers. They are unwilling to hit the floor. Both lack kill power and height. And the setter favors her sister over better hitters. Agree that there is way too much subbing. It is obvious that the kids...

Re: ALEXANDER POST MISSING AGAIN?

h2o- It is ok to disagree and argue. Isn't that the point of this? No question that the Gang of 3 blossomed under the guidance of Coach J. Never have suggested otherwise. He is a hell of a good coach. I just have an issue with the way that he has gone about building the program. Athens has good play...

Re: ALEXANDER POST MISSING AGAIN?

I feel the same obligation as well. No argument that the " Alexander " team has done impressively well. And I'm glad that the kids have had a great experience. But the effort is not truly legitimate given that it is a compiled all-star team. Yes, I'm jealous. If Athens retained the three r...

Re: Athens Talent Evaluation for Chilli Game

Ok, H20, I may have to cut you some slack, just a little, because that was a somewhat lucid and legitimate response. It sounds like you experienced Coach D's rages first hand. I could see where that would turn off any kid. Indeed, it has with a lot of the Athens kids, so I hear. And I agree that the...

Re: Athens Talent Evaluation for Chilli Game

All good points from the last several responses. I don't know what the transfer rules are when a player has started in high school. Anybody? Coach Dyer has played all season as if she is going to lose players to transfer-favoring two Frosh Aleta players and an Alexander transfer in particular. Inter...

Athens v. Chilli

Very sad last night.

Why are we playing Freshmen when there are upper classmen and sophomores that are way better?

How many mistakes do the Wonder Twins get (unlike the rest of the team) before they are pulled?

I'm trying to entertain myself through engaging in dialogue on a topic. But you just don't seem up to it. Guess I'll have to go back to Alex as a topic if you have nothing intelligent to offer me-

Re: Athens Talent Evaluation for Chilli Game

I agree that I'd make an excellent coach. But it would be tough to deal with parents and/or fans like you who accept mediocrity. Given that, I nominate 8th grade coach JV for the position. He's coached all these girls and made them winners. I'd venture to say that he is the reason Alex is so good-

Athens Talent Evaluation for Chilli Game

I thought I'd help Coach Dire evaluate her players since she seems to have such difficulty with it. Including the JV becasue many of them should be playing V. By position and working down from best player : Middle--EL, JS, AB, HH Hitter--AS, JS, CW, KB, SW, GS (should be playing defense) Defense--Ro...
