I have to agree with you #1_fan . Some people just are not seeing that. It is so sad that we have really the most talented individual players and we are having the season we are having. Kids are wanting to quit They should never happen. The coaches need to rethink everything if your players are wanting to quick. The kids are so frustrated. Don't understand Matney either. When anyone of them are hot then let them have the ball. Everyone of these players will be missed and it is terrible that their seniors will be ruin by the stuff that is going on. It really is a shame. Once the ball hits the half point mark alot of the times the ball never changes hands. The open passes missed is ridiculous. The pointers were a strong team and I admit I really enjoyed watching th flow of Mayo. That is what a recruiter wants to see. WOW. Good luck to that young man Well I hope the Redmen have a better second half season. They can do it and I hope they do. Come on Redmen play like I know yoiu can.

I'm with bballrh and #1 fan all the way, like I posted before some do play for thereselves a lot. And Matney has been hitting the 3's the last couple games and he has also has missed as well...when your hot your hot an when your not your not...all players have those type of games and when you see your teamate doing good you need to feed that player the ball.

My opinion and it's just an opinion is that Depriest should play down low because he is the best rebounder. Pierson should be running the point and defensively they need to press and this will generate some energy and maybe just maybe bring back the old days for these kids.

I would have to throw Nate Davenport in there... he is leading the team and the area with 10.1 rpg. We need help on the boards and Mark has enough physicality to get it done. As a guard he often slides in there and get's 4-5 rebounds a game. The big thing is on the offensive end... we have no offense... everyone is playing every where... the big guys are bouncing outside too much and throwing the ball in to shorter guys posting up... that... IMO is a wasted effort... post your big guys (including DePriest) and open up the 3 ball for Matney, Kuehne and Pierson... Just my opinion. We have not taken advantage of our height... it's such a minor adjustment.

Pierson at the point, Davenport at the 2, Depriest at the 3, Butler at the 4 and Matney at the 5. Run some high low and post up Matney and Butler. Davenport can slash to the basket and create off the dribble and Depriest can get put backs because he is as physical as anyone else on the team. Let Pierson run the show. You beat South Point, Ashland, Greenup Co., Russell and every school you played except Chesapeake by 30 plus in the past. You even beat Chesapeake just not as bad. Remember how the team played together in the past and played as a family. You can still do it and create a senior season that will be memorable.
