Lots of wings on this bird....

Ben Williamson 2006-07 stats from ETSU

13 minutes in 7 of 34 games

He is probably hungry for minutes.

The Killer will be leading the Kingston Alley boys to the rocky Top Championship. We have Chism, Jajuan Smith, Jalen Rose, Stanley Asumu, Logan Johnson to name a few.

Grubby one I hear your the head coach for one of the teams. nice team!! Yarborough, Slay,Howell, and Tabb not a bad four!

Its going to be a lot of fun.. I think the other MC guy who got picked up was Alex Bowers..

See ya there Grubby One..

You will see the D I transfer  roughly around November so be patient!!

Killer, can you link a schedule or PM one? You probably have some fans who would like to watch you play again. It'd be fun to watch a game as I think we are having withdrawls waiting for MC's season to start up once again. Thanks!

[GSAC Killer]

I would greatly appreciate that! My team name is Kingston Alley and were team #3 on the schedule. Our first game is monday at 7:30pm. I believe Alex Bowers also got picked up but i don't know for what team.

Matt Grubb will be coaching one of the teams. A lot of talent!!

No Wilburt the Breakout is still around and unfortunately The Grubby One has always been the Grubby One
Just like you i am posting newspaper articles, check it out
this is the summer league in Knoxville this year and there are several MC players who are getting the opportunity to play in this league

Wilburt I had dinner with one of your boys last night, Tony Jones

The Mystery man will be revealed with the start of the season, I am sure

You have got to ask Tony Jones about what many consider one of the GREATEST high school basketball teams ever.  Tony was on the Coaching staff of Southwestern High School in Detroit (his alma mater) that won two State Championships 1990 and 1991 with a record of (55-1). They won the mythical national high school championship in 1991 and the 1991 team produced 3 future NBA players - Jalen Rose, Howard Eisley and Voshon Leonard and several other college players.  That 1991 team could have beaten some college teams!!!   

[mattgrubb]

What we talked about the other night was the game in 99 or 2000 when Chris Housewright hit a last second shot to give the scots the victory and Tony said he hit that shot and just had to keep running out of the gym.  I agreed.

He also spoke to how Fisk has the exact same gym that he played in. 
Jalen is playing in the league and he is knoxville quite frequently in the summers.  I have seen him around town several times with Tony.

[MCScotsFan]

Thanks, Killer!! Good luck with your season!!

[wilburt]

Yea Grubb it is the same gym that Tony Jones played in.  Over the years it has been home to a lot of other stellar basketball players from Fisk! 

[GSAC Killer]

A lot of Stellar players that only beat the Scots once in there short stay in the GSAC!!

My boy Grubby One will be coaching at 9pm Monday. He will be goign for his first professional coaching win!!

[wilburt]

A lot of Stellar players that only beat the Scots once in there short stay in the GSAC!!

Don't you mean their short stay instead of there short stay?  I guess that Coach Lambert probably doesn't teach English as well as he taught his motion offense.

Now Wilburt, let's not start listing the things coaches do not teach lest we wander into discussions of the teaching, or not, of virtues like discipline and anger management.

[Ralph Turner]

Over on the Future of Division III web site, I have found some NCAA documents and speculate that 2 northwestern Ga NAIA schools come to D3.  This allows Oglethorpe to get the GSAC to an AQ conference and save their travel budget.  (Just some off-season speculation...    )

(Current D1 Centenary LA would join the SCAC.)

[wilburt]

Now Wilburt, let's not start listing the things coaches do not teach lest we wander into discussions of the teaching, or not, of virtues like discipline and anger management.

Good Point Doug.  But one person's anger (as you describe) may be just another person's passion/frustration, particularly when "mysterious fouls" tend to be called out of no where.  But that's neither here nor there [note the correct use of the word there] at this point.  It all depends on your vantage point my friend...

We all have fallen short of the Glory of God!

P.S. Doug, given some things I've heard I hope Fisk will not schedule Maryville again in basketball for a very long time.  I know that's the case with Piedmont.  Sorry about that Old Lion!

[wilburt]

Dr. Ralph posted this on another board which I think is relevant to DIII athletics and the varying visions for the athletic programs among DIII.

[mattgrubb]

as always, that article was a great find wilbut

[GSAC Killer]

Wilburt I appreciate you teaching me some English. Your right Randy didn't teach us English he taught us how to be winners in all aspects of life. At this institution we graduate!! Enought with that..

As for not wanting to play you good!! Will just have to schedule someone us to beat..

Grubby One, Wilburt has issues!! Takes things toooooooooooooooooo serious!! Its all fun and games here.. But were still WINNERS!!!
