Irontons Nikki Elswick sign with Shawnee State (Final Stats)

[sportygrl]

Ok, look back at your statement, just looked like an awful thought of tire tread marks on the Ironton team and coaches.

ok you've shared your relentless thoughts of me over and over so I will be the bigger person here. There was a question on my daughter and I answered. Like you, I'm sure, I don't like to lose. So I give my opinions. It's in my blood to do so. Not one comment about you and your absurd thoughts relentlessly repeating yourself dogging my kid. It was the Oak Hill fans on here saying that Ironton was a one man team. There are no one man teams. Some just get a streak of having well rounded teams and others have to rebuild. Enough said. Our girls will settle down and they will be just fine. Who knows, maybe we'll meet up at the Convo for round two. Last season we met back up with 7 losses. No one knows how any season is going to end up. Not your or me. So it's time to shut up and enjoy our seasons. Let's hope our teams go injury free. One basketball fan to another.

P.S. Ironton has no recruits. We play with the kids that have orange and black in their blood.

[ohbuckeye2]

What happened with Rebekka Potter, I remember something about her getting injured over the Summer, will she be back this season?

Potter had to have knee surgery and was not able to play this season.

Thanks for the info, She's a big loss for the Tigers this year.

[bryanc45]

i know we were againest each other monday night but i hope elswick and ironton have a wonderful year .

[BubbleGumTiger]

Not a roundball subject, but I hope Potter's knee is healthy enuff for her to play softball this year. She may wait till next year to give it more healing time but she will be a great addition to the Lady Tigers softball team if the doc lets her play......

Relentless? I posted twice on the subject. I just don't think you give much credit to Coach Graham and his staff for what they have done over the years at Ironton. Any topic that comes up about last year you mention that Elswick was on the bench for most of the season and then the coaching staff got smarter.

As far as recruits, Oak Hill has no recruits. They do have some transfers that have never worn any other jersey during their high school career. For that matter only one of them even wore a different jersey in junior high.

[bryanc45]

Yes all our girls have played in Oak Hill there whole high school career. What does it matter though. You are forgetting the main point they chose to play at Oak Hill.

Don't stretch the words please. Well, as far as Elswick and the bench thing. It's not like I'm telling a lie. She was a bench warmer. What is wrong with saying that. I would like for you to show me one time that anything was said to the effect that our coaches got smarter. You are rediculous. As far as the recruiting thing, Oak Hill tried awfully hard to recruit Elswick after the outcome last season. She chose to stay at Ironton. If you would like some names of the contacts from Oak Hill that I've received text messages from, pm me. I'll show them to you if you like or anyone else for that matter. We also have endless messages from Minford people as well. Now will you shut up about this stupidity and as I said before, enjoy your regular season and we will do the same. Maybe will meet again this yr. or maybe not. This subject is officially finished.

i wasn't there i don't know one way or another it may have happened it may not have. All i know is it is pasted oak hill got a big game tom night with s.p and i don't know about ironton. So i think it should be dropped and both teams should go on with the season without any distractions.

LMAO. Now thats funny right there, I dont care who ya are!!!!!!!!!!! Ill have to dig up my post from last year about the recruiting program.

[conehead]

Wasn't Elswick going to go to Minford this year? I'm pretty sure that's what you were saying, but something happened and she couldn't go. I think there was a lot of coach bashing in there, too. I have no dog in this fight, but I'm just saying...

If what I heard is correct; one of the Elswick kids coaches from Minford did try and talk them into transferring to play ball with his daughter because of some miscommunication and conflict between an AAU tournament and a high school shootout. Nikki herself chose not to abandon her friends and team mates that she has grown up with. She is wearing orange and black that says Ironton; so sounds like you need to stop reaching. From what I hear it was more than Oak Hill and Minford that was after her. From reading all the crap on here, it looks like all you other teams are still after her because she didn't transfer out. Quit hatin' and congradulate 'er.

Let's just say this. Yes, the opportunity was there, OH, SP, Ashland,KY, to name just a few opportunities she had besides Minford. Her decision was to stay at Ironton. I'm sorry if I get a bit touchy on this.
