It's very possibleVisionQuest wrote: ↑Sat Jan 19, 2019 1:07 pm So how big is this game against Marietta on Tuesday for Athens? If They lose are they going to drop below Marietta in the seeds? I mean is Athens looking at a possible 6 seed if they can’t get it done since they just lost to VC?
Could be looking at Warren at 3 and Athens at 6 or another VC matchup like last year if those 2 end up 4 and 5 seeds. Going to be interesting.93Bulldog wrote: ↑Sat Jan 19, 2019 3:38 pmIt's very possibleVisionQuest wrote: ↑Sat Jan 19, 2019 1:07 pm So how big is this game against Marietta on Tuesday for Athens?

Yea, seems like they are sliding a bit but I don’t think they will go to a 6 will they?!?
If they lose to Marietta, and then Alexander ... Then yes, it's very possible.Spartan12 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 20, 2019 12:43 amYea, seems like they are sliding a bit but I don’t think they will go to a 6 will they?!?
thanks
Marietta plays in a tough league. Athens struggles with non-league D-2 teams. Marietta has won the last 2 years I believe. Marietta has some quick guards, good athletes. Athens can’t sleep on Marietta.
... Bud07 I think you are right on the money with everything you posted ... FU is missing "Big Country" Colin Woodside roaming the paint, missing the proven scorers from deep in Lucas Thompson/Spencer Conrad - those names became household names over their careers for the Falcons ... Evan Conley was the new guy last year, became one of the names that we grew to KNOW when filling out the napkin stat sheets ... Conley is still there - an outstanding PG/2 guard - the leader of the TEAM for sure ... now FU has the "new kids on the block" - Chase Poston , was a role player off the bench before this season; Huston Harrah - the big man in the paint minus 40 pounds from my man Woodside - role player/starter on last years team but not THE go to guy for a lot of points ... NOW - Huston IS THE MAN in the middle - points/rebounds go thru HH ... to round out FU - Ryan Magill/Andrew Moll the 2 young guns for FU - long, quality players, mature youngin's who know how to play the game ... when I saw FU beat Sheridan there was no doubt that I was watching an excellent TEAM - very disciplined, solid defenders, great fundamentals at both ends which as YOU pointed out reflects directly back to Coach Eversole/Coach Goodyear/Coach Helber ... when you have the talent that FU has had the last 5-6 years it's hard to look past the talent BUT the coaching THEN was outstanding, the coach NOW is outstanding ... Fairfield Union has been steadily moving UP the rankings #13 this week with a bullet ...Bud07 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 19, 2019 7:35 am It's not nearly as pretty as it has been in recent past for Fairfield Union, but wow can they guard you. They are extremely long and they just make it really tough. They struggle to score at times, but they have a great player and plenty of good pieces around him. As I stated a couple of weeks ago they are going to be a tough out. They are extremely well coached! I look for them to win their 4th straight league title and I know they have had some really good players, but this year will show how high quality that coaching staff is IMO.
Whats up with the Lancaster game? They not going to reschedule that one?
Bingo, and correct about the lack of height. Three starters are 5-10 and another is 5-8. Kids are playing hard and the coaches are working their tails off. Been in every game this season except for two.noreply66 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 20, 2019 2:05 pm The last couple of years they have started freshmen and Soph. So right off it looks like they had a down JR/SR class the last two years. Not for sure but I thought I read on here earlier where they don't have a lot of height. They are doing what a well coach young team will do and that is a lot of ups and downs.
Bman it’s been this way for 3 or 4 years now and the talent level just isn’t therebman wrote: ↑Sun Jan 20, 2019 6:51 pmBingo, and correct about the lack of height.

Travis, if you can wave your magic wand and turn the starting lineup into 6-2 juniors and seniors, then maybe you'll get the result you want. Give it up. You've been told the same answers over and over.
The talent is there, the size isn't. It's a complete package. Those kids are pretty skilled players, but a 5-10 player can only do so much.TravisHill222 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 20, 2019 7:49 pmBman it’s been this way for 3 or 4 years now and the talent level just isn’t therebman wrote: ↑Sun Jan 20, 2019 6:51 pmBingo, and correct about the lack of height.
