Re: Parents!!
That is a great reply and so very true! Looking at the big picture, the kids who are working hard and learning to put up with the ups and downs and unfairness of a little thing like basketball will be better prepared for life in general. After all, if it doesn't kill ya, it makes ya stronger! The ha...

Parents!!
I have heard many times that the worst thing about sports (in general) but especially high school sports is the parents!! I would just like to make one observation about that. Perhaps the worst parents I have witnessed is, by far, the parents that are coaches! Parents in the stands may want their ch...

Re: Oak Hill vs. Adena
Oak Hill plays Fairland? Has Fairland even played yet?

Re: North Adams vs. Fayetteville
Got to watch this game and have watched a few Fayetteville games. Very impressive defensive effort by the lady Devils, seemed to pretty much shut down Fayetteville's transition game. I feel like defense was the key factor in this win. To stop the Lady Rockets you have to stop their very fast-paced t...

Re: SHL JV Teams
Not sure what you mean by "they get no respect and deserve even less". I think they deserve a lot of respect. So many times the JV players are looked upon as the "lesser" players of the program and that is not always true. There are lots of circumstances as to why a player may be...

Any score updates on the varsity game? Wasn't sure if previous post was talking about which game!

Re: North Adams @ Peebles 12/15
I think it will be a tough game that could go either way. Neither team can afford to get into foul trouble. Peebles definitely has more of an inside game. North Adams has the potential as long as they play as a team. Both teams have several players that can score, neither one is a one-man show. From...

Re: SHL ALL League selections
V_hoop -- Appreciate your post/input! I have seen her play as well and you can tell she does put her heart into it! As for a player who puts their heart and soul into their team being snubbed by their own coach. . . gee, does that ever happen?? Hopefully, if Shalynn ever comes across these posts, sh...

Re: SHL ALL League selections
I don't think this is really about finger pointing it is just about the process of choosing these players, that is all. Is every player that deserves it always going to be on the list? No. Is everyone always going to be happy? Definitely not. But should it be as fair as possible? Sure. Just for fun ...

Re: SHL ALL League selections
I agree that all the SHL teams should have representation on the all-league team. I also agree that there are going to be teams that have several players that could be eligible for all-league like in the case of Eastern, Peebles, North Adams, Ripley, Lynchburg Clay (and I probably missed some), so i...

Re: SHL ALL League selections
Call me stupid but wouldn't 6 out of 9 be the majority? I'm a little confused. . . And anyway, isn't there 10 SHL coaches? I don't know, I never was any good at math

Re: SHL ALL League selections
I agree with you, PHSfan14! McDaniel was a true leader of that team and how she could not have been at least nomiated is beyond me. There were many games she not only kept them in the ballgame but led them to a win. She always seemed to give it all she had. Didn't she have 18 points or so in their r...

Re: Peebles VS Manchester 1/25
Was not able to go to the game, just listened on the radio. Although I am a Manchester fan and was hoping for them to pull off the win, it sounds like Peebles really got together and played a great game. Sounds like they worked together and never quit, so congratulations to them on the win! Greyhoun...

Re: Running Up the Score: When is Enough Enough?
Keeping a kid in just so they can "break records" is stupid, in my opinion. That kid is not really breaking records of his own talent, he/she is getting a lot of help from the coach, and the other, weaker team. Let them break a record against a tough team and really show what they are mad...

Re: Manchester Basketball 10-11
I look for it to be a "dog" fight when Peebles meets Manchester. I think Manchester will come out on top, though.

Re: Running Up the Score: When is Enough Enough?
It seems everyone has an opinion on this so I might as well give mine. If a team is just superior in talent and wins by say 20, 30, or even 40 then that is just the way it goes, BUT, when a team is up 20+ points and they DO NOT play their bench (and I have seen Peebles do this numerous times even at...
