Rio did not lose their head coach, more's the pity. Approximately 90% of the ENTIRE team did not return for this year! My sources tell me that Johnson did not return and that Thomas is being looked at by the track coach for his speed. Football is also still in the works. I'm not sure how a universit...

I agree. Many times what you put in to a sport you'll get out of it. Kids (and parents) that whine to the coach about not getting enough playing time, or getting pushed aside need to really look at the whole picture. Did they play club ball (Aleta, matchpoint, etc.) Were they at all/most summer open...

What a shame, to turn something so positive into something so personal and negative. I still enjoyed my evening of watching volleyball, no matter who was playing.

Love it h2o. I heard some parents from Alexander last night say that their kid had been practicing the day school was out. They went to the beach where they worked VERY hard and then every single week, between open gyms, weight lifting, and working on their own. There are some kids that chose not to...

From what I saw from the Alex JV they also have loads of talent. Both teams were fun to watch!

Are there no "TRUE" Alexander "ALETA ACES" players on the current Alexander Varsity or JV team? I would be interested in knowing this.

I would think that should hush some naysayers then and make it even more special for these young ladies. Sorry, I know I sound like a broken record but I really did love how they enjoyed playing that game. Shouldn't that be what it's all about?! I would take that enthusiasm and hard work many days o...

Were there "TRUE" Alexander players playing on JV last night? If so, what positions? I didn't think there were any.

Maybe maybe not on the outcome of the JV game. One will never know. I will say that the passion just didn't seem to be there for the Athens JV team. I asked who some of the more vocal leaders were on the floor for Alex Jv and were told "freshman". That's the way to build a program. Kudos t...

The one thing that I was impressed with with the Alexander JV was their level of excitement. Their girls seemed to reveal in each success and it continued to inspire them. Maybe they just wanted it more, I don't know. They didn't seem to lose their poise and that's hard to say for Freshman and Sopho...

Was able to go last night and what a night. I thought Alexander's varsity kind of played down to the level of Athens. Alexander needs to play every game strong but they pulled out the big guns when they needed too. I also really enjoyed the JV game. I think somewhere on here a post said Athen's JV w...

I was able to go to the Athens game last night against Warren and while I was not impressed with the varsity squad I was impressed with the JV squad. Why oh why is your middle hitter on the JV team not the middle on your varsity? I have absolutely, thank goodness, no ties to the Athens team but it s...

I have to look at the size of enrollment of Athens versus the other surrounding schools and have to shake my head. What's the problem there? Are they all afraid of getting their hands dirty? It's almost laughable that they had to come into the TVC. With their numbers they should DOMINATE in EVERY sp...

Who looks like their going to have the strongest Varsity and JV teams this year in the TVC?

I know a local college that brings on foreign players AFTER the first semester grading period to play baseball. They haven't had to go through any of the conditioning , fall ball, fundraisers, etc. Does this happen at all colleges? I coached a couple of ballplayers on this team in Pony League and th...

I posted on the college site but was hoping maybe somebody on this site could answer my question. Did Jake Hale get drafted this year? I'm hoping so but would like info on what round and who got him. Thanks!

Did Hale get drafted this year? I couldn't keep track. I hope he did.

Maybe somebody from Alexander can help me. I like the layout of their field and my cousins school in Lima is going to be building a new field and their land lays alot like Alexanders. I heard a company from down towards Vinton County built it and I was wondering if somebody from Alex can/will pass t...

Good Luck Spartans! Coach Guthrie is one of the best, if not the best , fundamental teaching coach around these parts. Listen to him ladies and execute!

Evidently I've missed some late breaking news. So, Alexander has been found guilty of illegal recruiting? From what I understand there have been individuals from Alex contact the state yet the program is still growing. Obviously the state didn't find any wrongdoing or they put it down to some disgru...
