p.s. GAVA I was totally being sarcastic (which I think everyone but you seemed to know) when I said I was congratulating Silva for the 3000th time!

My comment wasn't in regards to your remark about congratulating Silva, it was in reference to oldschool comparing Silva to VWC players.

Can't remember ever doing that...sorry. Fact is, as scrappy as VWC is, no one can touch Silva or has ever been able to. Sorry you got your facts wrong.

What a season for the Eagles!!!

I was able to make it to the game tonight in Southern Maine, and it just seemed like BC dug themselves a hole in that first half that was too big to get out of. The score was SMU 17 BC 14, but then the Huskies went on a 17-2 run to close the half. BC won the second half by 7 and proved they can definitely play with the best in the nation.

The Eagles will greatly miss Marsha Kinder, who set a BC record this year for most points in a season (538, previous record was 495). What a great contribution Marsha has made to this team! We will miss you!

However, Bridgewater has alot to build on for next year! BC is returning their leader in steals, assists, and rebounds in Katy Herr! Bridgewater will also be returning three other starters in Childs, Scales, and Henderson. If the Eagles work hard over the off season, then BC fans will have a lot to be excited about next year!!!

GREAT SEASON LADIES!!! CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT YEAR!

But GAVA is just some kind of irate fan

During the season you would only admit to Silva as being one of among many of the better players in the league. I told you then that was half-hearted props. How could you compare her to VWC players ? VWC fans ran their mouths all year about having the best players, winning the conference, knocking off RMC in the ODAC tournament. That is what I mean by rabid and obtuse, just foolish nonsense.
I am not irate. I am thrilled !!!!

Llamaguy, I agree with you. This should definitely make BC a consideration for a spot in the top 25 for the end of season poll. I mean, they were one of only 16 teams left playing in the country.

Yes, it would be hard to justify denying the Eagles a Top 25 spot in the year end poll. Great season.

Quote from: Old School Marlin on February 12, 2006, 08:27:59 PM She can't help what position she is put in by her coaches as far as playing time. I also think there are a lot of other great players this year who are somewhat overlooked

See I don't hear the love, don't hear you saying Silva is ODAC's all time best player. What I hear is you taking a bash at Coach
LaHaye, and suggesting that Silva's fortune is the result of too much playing time.

This is true. Just keep in mind that the final 16 is not automatically the same as the top 16. There may well have been teams eliminated in the first and second rounds because of the way the brackets were set up that were nonetheless better than a Sweet 16 team (I'm thinking of the three Texas teams and the Washington team that were eliminated early to satisfy the NCAA's penny-pinching.)

Not that Bridgewater won't get into the Top 25 (who knows?) but remember Division III isn't Division I bracketwise.

No, I was defending her as a player and hoping people would not "Silva hate" because when she did play a lot, she did score a lot. She is just that good. However, thank you for proving my point about you over and over again. Last year I was making "GO JACKETS" signs with Susan Dunagan and Karen Harvey before the championship game at the beach - not that it matters to you, or that I care. Good luck on the final stretch, nontheless...though you'll never agree, we're all very proud of how R-MC is representing our league.

Yes, good luck to RMC.

You never know, we could work out a cease fire and you can still be a VWC fan. Just never at the expense of the RMC girls.

Stout pulled to within four points, 73-69, with two free throws by Duoss with 51 seconds left to play. Stout was forced to foul and the Yellow Jackets responded by making 7-of-8 free throws to take the prize.

The night belonged to Randoph-Macon and Silva, who led all scorers with 28 points, hitting 11-of-21 shots from the floor, with two 3-pointers and four free throws. Michelle Orton scored 11 points.

NEW REQUEST FOR GAVA: Stop copying and pasting everyone's quotes from months ago and critiquing them. Most of us on here are simply fans and usually bias fans! Who cares what they said in December? I respect Old School Marlin for keeping loyal to her team and now supporting the ODAC in the NCAA tourney! We have a bond in the ODAC, that I think we are lucky and privileged to have...don't be jealous!!

But seriously do you know anything about Hardin-Simmons this year? I read all their stats, but wondering if you had any insight ( I still think you know a lot about basketball!)? I know that H-S brings up some bad memories for some of us!

Megan Silva is always a good sport. She is a little wisp of a girl who makes magic on the court and is a joy to watch. My greatest hope for her is that in spite of her size the WNBA would give her a look.
People who hate her because she is better, offend me. They are petty and small of heart.

I am glad RMC has unranked HSU tonight instead of # 16 PLU.
They are a small team with only one 6 footer but Bentley did score 20 last night. They are well balanced but no stars. No one averages more than 12 ppg. If Orton dominates at post and RMC brings their A game I see Final 4.

Congrats to R-M on their win over our Lady Bluedevils. I'll be pulling for you to win it all!

We have our share of top-notch players, but listening to the game last night made me realize you have one AMAZING player in Megan Silva... I really wish I could have had the opportunity to see her play.

Enjoy the ride, Jackets!
