All I meant about grades is that the freshman year can be a little challenging academically and not playing might make it a little easier to adjust to college expectations.

Dean Walsh is a fine coach and it is no surprise he was able to get them focused at halftime.

Alex's surgery Wednesday went great. No other damage. She's at home during great. Rehab starts Friday.....shes thrilled about that...yea right....

scottiedoug · December 14, 2006, 11:48:30 PM

Who did the surgery? Is she going to do rehab at MC?

MCScotsFan · December 15, 2006, 01:20:52 PM

Great to hear Alex's surgery went well. Please tell her that MC fans are wishing her well and hoping she heals quickly and thoroughly. Also that rehab goes well!!

GottaHaveHeart · December 15, 2006, 04:03:22 PM

Alex's surgery was done by Dr. Todd Bell from Chattanooga. He does the UTC Mocs, Chattanooga Lookouts, Lee University athletes as well as others. She will do her rehab in Cleveland until school starts back. She will probably finish at MC, not sure yet. Been through this with my oldest daughter so I know the rehab person in Cleveland well.

I will relay the message and the well wishes. She will definitely appreciate it I know. She actually asked if I would bring her to the game Saturday.....gotta love that spirit.

Take care of business ladies!!!!

Killer,
Thanks for the compliment of our coaching staff. Hopefully Saturday's game will indeed be a good test for the Lady Scots, as we are definitely a big underdog. We are inexperienced (one senior) and undersized. Not a good combination against a Maryville team that is playing very well. On the plus side, we have played with a lot of heart this year. We have come from behind in all three of our wins this season, including one against Oglethorpe two weeks ago.

I'm also glad to hear that Alex had a good result from her surgery. In a very similar occurrence, we lost a freshman guard last season due to a foot injury that required season ending surgery. She didn't play a single minute all year. On Saturday, she will be our backup point guard. Hopefully Alex will have the same type of recovery.

Looking forward to coming over on Saturday (I live in Knoxville). Good luck to both teams.

Scots looked pretty good. Made it real hard for Sewanee to score until late and had a bunch of people shooting well. Size was a problem for the Tigers, as Sewanee Tiger predicted. I cannot tell how good the Scots are because it seems like Carson Newman is the only opponent this year who is having a strong year.

Scottie, it looks like the Lady Scots will get their toughest tests from Transy and Emory.

After that, it is just GSAC teams.

That sets up an interesting situation for the seedings if Maryville gets the AQ.

The ASC-West, especially McMurry, Hardin-Simmons and Howard Payne, is brutally tough this year. All three are ranked in the top 15. McMurry also plays UW-Sout, currently #10 on the 28th.

Maryville could be undefeated in South Region play.

scottiedoug · December 17, 2006, 11:16:22 PM

And we still will not know how good they are....

Ralph Turner · December 17, 2006, 11:44:29 PM

Scottie, the fact that Maryville is more than 500 miles from everywhere in the ASC except MissColl (and MissColl has never represented the ASC-Women), means that Maryville will probably be moved up the East Coast to play ODAC, USASAC schools.

scottiedoug · December 18, 2006, 10:41:36 AM

Ralph: What I meant was that we will not know how good the Scots are until they play somebody other than who is on the regular schedule. I do not know what kind of test Transy and Emory will be...Transy tonight and Emory Jan. 2. If the Scots do well with those, the mystery continues. If not, we know something!

In the NCAA tournament, the Scots, as you know, usually start out with a USASouth or ODAC team or Mary Washington and then run into some team like DePauw playing at another level.

scottiedoug · December 18, 2006, 11:44:12 AM

Ralph: I looked at Maryville's schedule and was reminded that they play Milligan, King, and Tennessee Wesleyan, all scholarship programs, in Jan. and Feb.

So there are on the regular schedule other non-GSAC indicators of how good the Scots are.
