WHS Boys 3-0

[bubba]

WHS 57
McD 51

An impressive win for the Pioneers on the road, moving them to 3-0 in the NW4A. With wins at Freedom and at McDowell, perennial conference powers both, could we be seeing a changing of the guard in the NW4A? Is it too early to send in the Rob Sanders Coach of the Year ballots?

Way to early, there is still quite a bit of basketball to be played.

I am thoroughly impressed with the play of the Watauga boys team this year. They have a real shot of making the playoffs this year and could possibly win a few. Good luck on the rest of the season.

i agree, very impressed with the pioneers this year. i guess its that new coach, because it seems like watauga has always had some talented players on there team.

[reynoldsrocks23]

How about that ACR game? I couldn't make it to the game and it seems NO ONE can give me a score. What was the score??? :huh: :huh:

[tarheel9]

acr won by 15, i checked it out on the rocket message board, must of been pretty bad, maybe watauga just played out of there minds against freedom and mcdowell...or maybe ACR is just that good

[jvcoach]

they must have had a flat game tonight in taylorsville. the score at half was 21-10 ac. i `ll say this , the team plays very hard and will bounch back!! good luck the rest of the year!!:xyzthumbs

watauga supposedly has one of the best teams around.. well tell them they need to find someway cause this is startin to look like the curse of the bambino or something... no matter what it is... they come down here or we go up there.. and we kick their butts.. but ya know least there were no cheap shots or punches thrown anytime in tonights game... and so much for that perfect conference record right? great job ac and go take it to south next week!:applause:

[tarheel9]

yea, i guess its just back to same old watauga, good job ac. its a pretty exciting season so far...with mcdowell beating freedom in 3ot's makes it even more exciting, lets see if these teams can pull one out over EB.

The guys from watauga has some of the most talent to ever come through....if you've noticed every team they've played they've had teams down by double digits at half time....even coming back down by 20 some at half against avery who has some of the greatest shooters...its all part of the mental game...nobody's fault but their own....i just feel sorry for the upcoming teams in the conference tournament...watauga is going to roll in strong...and a bullcrap call wont hurt them like it did against mcdowell

ac reynolds has some athletic guys this year some of the most in the conference....not a lot of size in the post compared to watauga but their speed and want for the ball makes up for most of their disadvantages.....
PS.....willie harper is a dang stud....

The refs could have called a foul at the end of the McDowell game or they could have called a walk. I thought it was a good "no call". Besides do not whine about the refs because this game should have never came down to this final play. The Pioneers were up by 9 or 10 in the 4th quarter and folded - plus they got out coached.

No way did watauga get outcoached....that coach can noway compare to sanders and the drive he gives his players....but yes the players, i feel, did lose the mental game how its been for a lot of games....the athletic ability is there the brains arent most of the time...and whatever happened to levi jackson?...supposed to be some kind of prodigy when he was a freshman...didnt even start both times watauga played them and got worked by watauga's post presence...and watauga would kill for a chance to play mcdowell first round of the playoffs....because it is a definite that watauga will kill them

[titan90]

Everyone had high hopes for Levi when he was a freshman at MHS. Since then his play has went south. Everyone thought that he would grow 4-5 more inches, but he is still 6-4 just as he was when he was 14 years old. Levi use to work for me and i would often here him say that Coach Church was mad at him because he would not go to open gym or he would not go to summer camps with the team. Just things like this has caused his game to down the drain. He is just lazy during the off season. I just hope the same thing doesn't happen to Terrance Kincaid. He is a 9th grader that was moved up to the varsity level when Justin Beam quit the team. Terrance plays 3 or 4 sports so I don't think he will have time to get lazy.

If we lose to Reynolds on friday night then we will see you in marion next week. To bad that the Pioneers will have to win the tournament to make the state playoffs. I just don't see that happening this year - maybe next year.

[SillyDilly22]

you have to realize that this conference is as evenly matched as it has ever been....watauga has also won 14 games in the regular season a huge turn around and a giant confidence builder so the conference tournament will be awesome to watch watauga hopes its mcdowell being one of its most heated rival besides alexander central and i see almost a definite that watauga will win the conference tournament but how the conference is matched anything could happen

[titan90]

Levi has quit the team. He was not at the Reynolds game on friday and i asked one of the jv players of his where abouts and they said he had quit the team. I just do not understand why a senior would quit at the end of the season. Coach Church moved another player from the jv team to the varsity (Hausley). He played decent when he was in the game. I think he had 4 points and a couple of rebounds.

Will you be at the game on tuesday night SillyDilly. Should be another good game between MHS and WHS.

[SillyDilly22]

Of course ill be there....and its sad that a senior quit...and he was, i thought, a player that brought fire out there when he was on the court and made the games more competitive...and it will be a heated game with a lot of trash talk and its the team that keeps their head in it the most who will win the game...i look forward to watching it

local paper has Levi down as injuring his ankle? I've also heard the rumor that he quit but I don't think it is true

[SillyDilly22]

levi didnt quit he was there last night....and yes mcdowell played well and deserved to win....im sad to see this season end the way it did....we cant change the past just look forward to next year and seeing seth moore and ryan anderson play ball like crazy
