Anybody out there know anything about how the Scots are doing this Fall?

MCScotsFan · September 12, 2008, 08:33:04 PM

I haven't heard much. I'm hoping for a good season but, I also down deep, think that Coach Wright is going to have to wait until he starts over with his own recruits. I hope they prove me wrong--very wrong. I'm holding back...

Even with the loss of two of their best players Piedmont remains the favorite until someone knocks them off.I would love to hear what younglion52 has to say.By the way congratulations to Coach Childs-Purdy & husband Ben on the birth of Jalyn Charlsie August 26th.

So far, the same players (minus Saxe and Fleming) as last year + 2: the young lady from Seymour, Tara Heyboer and Alyse Ray from Gallatin, who I believe is also on the volleyball team.

I assume the volleyball player is not playing basketball. How about Heyboer?

Here is the DailyTimes on the new Scots. Not good to have Harmon hurt but everybody sounds upbeat, at least in the newspaper!

Rematch of the Piedmont Oglethorpe game tonight. Audio and livestats on the front page.

PC-OU 2008 Tourney game

OU 78 Piedmont 53, 8:09 left in the game!

I hear team morale is up and better which sounds good to me. I know we lost to Transy and I hope that won't knock'em down. Nat had a good night (21 pts.) so I can't wait to see what we've got.

I hate to hear that about Harmon. I wish her the best in her healing process.

GottaHaveHeart · November 19, 2008, 07:35:25 PM

Our ladies are fine.

They got a early taste of some home cooking.

I know everyone will enjoy watching them play.

Alex is probably ready to go.

She will be 6 months out the 22nd of this month. The doctor who performed her last surgery is being very cautious with her. Because of her having the 2 surgeries so close together, her quads have been slow regaining strength. She is running, shooting, doing some drills in practice. So far, no problem. She is scheduled to be totally released Dec. 19th. Plans are, she will work out a few days at full speed at Lee University during the Christmas break and if all goes well, she will begin practicing with the team when they return after the break.

Thanks for asking!

scottiedoug · November 20, 2008, 04:18:15 PM

Good luck to you and her. Looks like we can use some shooters, as usual.

MCScotsFan · November 21, 2008, 07:52:15 PM

I am ready to enjoy them again!!

So good to hear that Alex is doing well. I need more home games from both teams.

GottaHaveHeart · November 22, 2008, 05:13:03 PM

Congrats to Coach Wright and the ladies on their first win of many to come this season!!!!!

MCScotsFan · December 06, 2008, 06:55:54 PM

Although the ladies had to fight for this win after a lead or 10 or so after the half, I thought they did a very good job today. I was very, very proud of them. I thought they rebounded well and that made a huge difference in their game. In fact, they would have lost otherwise.
I thought their free throw percentages were great and that they sealed the win by making those shots.
