Hooray! We are at the "Athens Parents Infighting About Their Kids" portion of the season! My personal favorite time of the year.

Well heck, you’ve narrowed that down to 4 players.Sniper_Fan wrote: ↑Mon Feb 12, 2018 4:57 pm Wow, 6 Pages!! The whole area of the state is buzzing about this weighty topic.
All of your analysis is well thought out and reasonably argued. After careful consideration, I think I am prepared to chime in with my opinion.
I have to agree with the parent of the Athens kid posting here - I think that YOUR kid is the one that REALLY deserves it. The other ones don't
These Athens player's parents and coaches and wives on here.... LMFAO.... Always great entertainmentthebarlowbandit wrote: ↑Mon Feb 12, 2018 11:10 pmWell heck, you’ve narrowed that down to 4 players.Sniper_Fan wrote: ↑Mon Feb 12, 2018 4:57 pm Wow, 6 Pages!!

No doubt... Who knew this thread would evolve like it has. For the longest time, only Speakman and Yates were mentioned, then a few more' followed by a top 10 list followed by Athens entire team ( lol ). Epic. Love it!93Bulldog wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2018 7:20 am Well, I'm not a parent, coach and I surely hope I'm not a wife ... LOL ... but keeping people entertained is always fun no matter the circumstances.
At the end of the day, I'm glad people post, even if I don't agree with what they say. Better to have an (11-9) team that people seem excited about as opposed to a (4-16) team with no topics, posts or insight.
Give some love to the NY supporters.

Well, as said previously, I go no skin in this game. My kid is 5 years graduated, so I have become just a spectator and can only observe what I see on the court as I can't go see all of the games. I have enjoyed the early season upsets, Wellston's run, Alexander's solid play, and then Vinton's run at the TVC Championship and now Athens run to post season. Obviously, Baer at Meigs is very talented as is the Wellston kid - Simpson and Hixson at Trimble have been fun to watch. I look for the difference makers when I sit and watch all these teams play. Speakman is well deserving if POY ends up going to a Vinton player the more I think about it. His game versus Chillicothe, solidified that moreso than any. Even in with Yates hitting his 1000 point this season. In regards to Athens, this has been the best the second half of the season I have seen since Burrow's departure, which serves as momentum into the post season where it has been most important. Most of the other TVC teams have been up/down. Athens' morphing from 1st half to second half of the season has been fun to watch. Thus my selection trying to pinpoint the change. So Vision, thus I was agreeing with you using my rationale with all the kids and mentionables above.bburner wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2018 9:14 amNo doubt... Who knew this thread would evolve like it has.

All, I can say to that is such a complete football squad and one heck of a coach to bring talent and create talent together. Pretty awesome seeing them in person versus Vinton County and then versus Athens. Never seen a SEO team make adjustments so quickly this past year. Looking for another big year from them in 2018.therealNY wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2018 11:33 amGive some love to the NY supporters.

And I call it how I see it, which is why I started the Discussion of Maxfield being deserving of POY. But, In the future I would suggest you do a little more research before you make certain statements. As 93Bulldog has stated the Statistics don't lie. Seems to me you are partial to one player on here with your posts. If you are going to get on here and nitpick Flaws in players and his teammates then do it for every player, even the one you are partial to, unless you believe they are a "perfect" player. I also could get into some specifics on Flaws, but I won't sink as low as you did. I mean what agenda or motive do you have here? Why would you downplay Maxfields Teammates on this thread and on the Thread about Top Juniors where Athens Juniors are listed you say "I 2nd the Maxfield kid". Answer me that.Allthewayup11 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 12, 2018 4:31 pmNot here. I've got no skin in this game. LOL! Call it as I see it.
Well, Alltheway, have you considered the POSSIBILITY that Vision Queen might actually have a kid on the Bulldog team that is mentioned in the thread?? Just throwing it our there. Hard to believe, I know.Allthewayup11 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2018 1:02 pm Not down playing at all. The kid isn't flashy, struggles at the free throw line or at least he did when I watched him, and doesn't shoot the 3 very well. My only point to my "agreeing with you" was his heart and hustle and the change of his position were the contributing factors to his success and it appeared that was the momentum changer when the kid got moved up top. Butcher came down low as a starter and opened up a ton of transition opportunities. The Defense also got more solid up top and down low. Making that defense stifling. Right players right fit.
Bulldog93, do you have any stats on turnovers for the Dogs? Just curious.
Also, Vision, I just mentioned above that almost anyone of the Athens kids will be contenders for POY next year. How is that not supportive. You are turning a mole hill into a mountain.
Yeah, I will stay out of that topic when it comes about, but will be a heck of a column for Dear Abby! LOL. So the coach picks his own players for ALL-TVC? I don't think I ever paid attention to that, I only assumed it was all the other coaches playing against a team in that conference that would be part of picking players from a team? As I assume he would pick from others teams. That's like Lebron and Steph Curry picking their own teams, LOL.Sniper_Fan wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2018 1:17 pmWell, Alltheway, have you considered the POSSIBILITY that Vision Queen might actually have a kid on the Bulldog team that is mentioned in the thread??

And if you think this is fun, wait until the All-TVC team comes out when the Athens coach will select only 3 players. Hmm, let me grab some popcorn to watch this dumpster fire on here. Someone's Athens TVC POY nominee from Athens won't even make it to the all league team. LOL LOL
