93-94 when Gilmore and Long were Seniors.

You might be right, I was thinking it was my senior year, but it may have been my junior. Now that I think back, your right because my senior year was when Clintwood and Pound represented Region D and TS played CW in the opening round, or semis.

Twin springs will be fine... we have a young team.. dock is the only player with any kind of experience...we should be ok ...
gc will win the lpd like always.. if pv and norton are supposed to be the other top teams.. gc will have no problems.....ts beat them ...no other team in the lpd can handle that pressure .. gc will also get a lot better when they get parks and the transfer back....the lpd is weak other than gc....

castlewood is by far the best team around.. as bad as i hate to say that.. they are very solid all around.. i guess thats what u get if u have been practicing ever since march...

ha.. ha.. if they started practicing in march then they did it individually in their spare time.. you used to claim that CW kids didn't work on their game at all and now you claim that they started practicing in march?? don't those contradict?? most of them were into baseball in march and on into june.. then they had basketball camps in the summer just like everyone else and started practice in the fall like everyone else.. probably a lot later than TS because their football season lasted longer than 2 weeks.. (don't take the football comment as boasting lpd fans cause i know we can't compete with you all [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]).. i'd like to know where all this practice you talk about was worked in..

And I'm curious why you say TS has a "young" team.. I would say inexperienced yeah because of being replaced, but young?? Aren't 3 of their starting 5 seniors and half of their entire team seniors?? This is according to the roster on their website..

I think GC's problem is that they're a bunch of football players trying to play basketball. They don't have that pure basketball player that they have had in the past.

Only three out of the eleven on Gate City's roster played football this past season, and only one of them starts (Tihlee). The other two are Matt Bays and Tyler Parks, and Parks may not even see the hardwood this season due to his injury during football season.

OMG, your posting again? Thought you had ran and hid for good, I hope GC doesn't lose a game soon if so you'll vanish. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

HAHA, I post when I have something to say - not rambling on and on just to hear/read myself on the board. GDog had something to say and I wanted to inform him of how many football players were on the basketball team this year. You sure do get all wound up when I have made comments in the past, I guess it's no different when I have something valuable to add that actually adds to another posters viewpoint.

Hey Darrell, you going to be at the game this Saturday? Or is that a given?
