Warren at Gallia

[bankshot]

both teams coming off a tough loss...what are your thoughts and predictions?....

[StandFirm]

Would anyone like to give some directions to the new Gallia City School. We will be coming to pull for our Warriors and visit with the good people of Gallia County.

[jottings]

GAHS 4-Ever...Your good at giving directions.

If you come to downtown Gallipolis and go over to Fourth and State Street where the former high school was located. go three blocks south on Fourth Ave., until you get to Vine Street.

Turn right on Vine and when you get to the junction of Rt. 7 and Rt. 141 (where a funeral home stands) turn right onto Rt. 141 and go about three or four miles out Rt. 141. When you get to Centenary, turn right on Centenary Rd., and it's about a half-mile on your right.

Once you get to Centenary, you can see the new school on your right.

[StandFirm]

Jottings,

Thank you for the directions. Looking forward to the visit and the chance to see your new facilities.

Have fun
Play hard
Go Warriors

i think if the warriors can play as a team as they did aginst chilli then this should be a big victory for the warriors...however they will definitly have to rebound better to win this one...i think the combination of cunningham getting his hot back and some underneath play by venham and fivecoait will be too much for the blue devils...warren by 10

[Warrior C C]

It Might take more than just 2 horses to ride out of Gallia with a win? Or maybe not, but Goes back to the same ole posts from way back...Need more production somewhere???? Hate to go late into the season and still not know that we have any more weapons than what we are showing now. That spells NO CONVO this year? Can we dial 1-800-offense? Can we get some Little Johnnys to step up? Hopefully we can, but we will keep saying good job anyways, no matter the outcome. So goodluck Little Warriors and Have fun, play hard, and see who gets the pat on the back this week.....Hopefully everyone! THE SUN COMES OUT TMRW

[bankshot]

warrior cc i actually agree with you...i think it would be easy for an opposing team to scout the warriors...#23 cunningham-very quick, great shooter and great penetrator...but when the game is on the line we are going to bring in a sophomore off the bech and try to win it...#1 venham-very strong, good post moves, can take over the inside game and dominate anytime he wants...but we don't get it to him when he is open sometimes and we don't use him as an inside threat to get open outside shots for cunninham#13 lang-defensive stopper, good outside shooter, good role player...but it looks like thats all he is allowed to do, he doesnt drive very often so that allows his man to slack off him and help inside because if he misses a couple outside shots he will get pulled #20 ellenwood- defensive stopper, good passer, LIGHTSOUT from 15 ft, but there it goes again if u dont use an inside threat or an outside threat to help each other u are not going to get open shot because the defense doesnt have to help...#32 fivecoait-very stong, very aggressive, can jump out of the gym...but when he has a kid that his height or smaller we don't clear out and give him the ball in the post...im definitly not trying to be negative towards the kids just a few things i know coach maddox used to do...if venham, knost and fivecoait get the ball inside they should be getting double and triple teamed everytime because they have scored the last 10 trips down the floor...we all know what could happen if they draw the "d" inside it can be "all night long" for cunningham, lang, ellenwood and the shooters off the bench...im pretty sure the wing t offense is kind of designed for this kind of action...good luck tonight boys and hopefully we havent lost all the warior "faithful" and we can bring a nice crowd to support u

I see Venham and Fivecoait having big nights as imo Gallia will not let Cunningham beat them and will guard him sort of like Ironton and Logan did. Lets see i will say Warren by 9. See everyone there later tonight. Go Warriors play strong and play with the same intensity as you did against Chilli.

Bankshot you have commented a couple of times about bringing in the sophomore off the bench "to try and hit 3's and win the game"...if you are honest the game was basically over at that point....and he was doing as instructed by the coach....yes it would probably help their rythym (whether it is Hastie, Ward, or Henthorn) if they played more than just 2-3 minutes at the time? Imagine being inserted in that situation....but I believe the coaches are managing their personnel as well as well can, it seems we have run into some hot teams at the time...against Chilli we hit many clutch shots to stay within 1-2 points in the second half but it seemed they answered every time....and Warrior CC yes we need offensive help but the kids are not missing shots on purpose and it's not the coaches fault, so what is your answer??....please stop withholding all your wonderful knowledge...maybe you're busy answering calls from all the NBA teams trying to get you to coach? the sophmores will have their day as jrs and seniors.....

[bankshot]

warriorfrosh..you must have been thinking like the coaches then... thinking it was over with 1:45 to go and we were only down 6...i was definitly not blaming hastie...there is no way u can sit the entire game and be expected to come in in the final minutes and all of the sudden catch fire...jeremy is one of the best shooters on the team if not the best and thats just way too much to ask out of a kid...how about some old fashioned three point plays?....that could work just as well and probably a higher percentage shot dont you think...

I myself have commented on this style at the end of games when we are losing. I was not trying to be negative towards any of the sophomores (As in my opinion they are undoubtly some of the best 3 point shooters on the team), but being down 5 with 1:40 or so to play is hardly checkmate for the other team when you have Cunningham putting up points like he did that night and Venham starting to take control inside ( if i remember corectly he had three straight inside buckets late in the 4th). All i'm saying is go with what got you there ( no matter who on the team that may be) when your that late in the game.



Well as for the game tonight it seems as if Warren struggles at Gallia, I might be wrong about that but it is a tough place to play and the officals don't seem to be very kind to the visitors. I'm really hoping that some of the reserves can get into this game tonight as they need more game time for later in the season.

[warriorfrosh]

Blue and Bank....I'm on board with you guys....I don't care who plays, let's just win! Boy we struggled at Gallia last year but I think the boys know the one is very winnable....Triple header, get there early....

[jottings]

Don't forget we're not in that "tiny gym" anymore now that we play in our new facility in Centenary. Hope you folks like our new "playpen".

[32, 16, 6]

we just gotta remember to REBOUND, seems as if we are out of position when the bomb goes into the air. It's not like you don't know its gonna go up and where its gonna go from. SO get in there and grab it put it in for two.

Where you at Jottings ? Always look forward to your in depth coverage .

BANKSHOT.....FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE IS SEEING THE LIGHT.....Ive said since Venham was a freshmen that the team goes as he goes!!! I love the 3 pointer because its changed the game, but I am oldschool,and I say 100%
of having a strong team starts with the BIGMAN in the middle! This will always create openings to any outside threat, and we have the Talent to compete with anyone! Fivecoait to help in the paint with Knost and Ellenwood would be a great inside game with a rotation to keep them all rested to go the distance! Then after establishing the Inside game you have probably the strongest outside threat Warren has had for a long time in Cunningham,Hastie, and Ward. Use Lang to match-up defensively and another rotation type move, to get these shooters into the flow of the game and Warriors could go far....Seems like the coaches rely on not enough of this rotation because of Loyalty...well those days are gone and You need to put what works on the floor regardless of grade if they can play, and from what Ive seen ,,,they Can....So thanks Bankshot for finally speaking in a basketball term that maybe these other guests can see the light as well.... The sun comes out tmrw! AMEN!
