Anyone else surprised by Alex

Really thought they'd be better than they have been so far this season. Have some top quality guards, but just don't seem to find much flow. When I watch them, it's just set plays, not much just letting those athletes play. Looks like another year of no title in Albany.

I agree, really no quality wins this season. Only beat Greenfield McClain, Warren and split with Vinton County. Losses to VC, Nelsonville York and South Webster. I would say they are falling apart. :roll:

Alexander Lady Spartans will be fine. Need to learn how to finish games with leads. Had leads late in the NY and VC losses. They will be a tough out come tournament time.

Go Alex.

They are pretty darn good team. They play tough grind it out defense, they don't run up and down the floor because they aren't that kind of team. I enjoyed the both times I've gotten to watch them this season. They are still in the hunt for the league title.

No title? They have 3 TVC titles in the last 7 years, final four in basketball, and a state title in volleyball :roll:

I don't understand his logic, in the last seven years it's been all Athens(4) and Alexander(3) for girls basketball. Does he mean a state title?

No, with all the returning talent they have coming back they have in some estimations have not gotten any better. NY lost a strong core of players and had one returning studdette in Addis, while Alex had Richardson and added her sister, and graduated there 3-4th best scorer and that's it. Just thought with the talent they have coming back, thy would be better.

Well he said no titles and the TVC has been dominated by Athens and Alexander the last 7 years.

I'll disagree, they are not living up to the talent yet, they and Athens are two teams who have gotten worse. Alex didn't have 20 at half on a poor Meigs team, struggled to get to 20 v Athens. They just are not clicking yet.
