MBB: Great South Athletic Conference

Beaty,
you could be the answer to most final jeopardy questions, those people just are not smart enough to realize it.

The LaGrange College Men's Basketball team are champions...of the LaGrange College intramural softball league.  It has taken great effort and dedication to get to this point...just kidding.  They showed up and played in high tops.  They actually played one team that was in full uniform, cups and all.  I guess I should be recruiting for our softball team, which by the way just one their first round game in the NCAA tournament. Another positive note from LC Hooptown.  Each year we give out a special award for the senior athlete at LC who has risen above adversity and soared with the eagles.  We call it the Eagle award.  I guess because Panthers don't soar.  They mostly sleep and eat raw meat and that doesn't make for a pretty award.  Anyway, Demetris Render was the co-winner this year, which puts the men's basketball count to 5 out of the last six years.  The one year we didn't win was because we didn't have a senior on the roster.  We will also not have a senior on the roster next season and so far only one defector.

Anyone know if there are any more defectors ?

I read in the paper this morning that Clay Wages has committed to LaGrange.

I've watched this guy since he was a 6th grader. He's a heady lead guard, competitive ... and one of his best attributes may be his clutch 3 point shooting.

Coach Haynes, I think you got a good one.

[coachwgh]

He is like Baize, in that he is small, quick, fast but he shoots it a lot better than Baize did at the same age.

Played ball against Wesley Jones this weekend.  A lot of big name players in this tournament, but unfortunately no Killer.  I think the killer is taking a leave of absence from the old man bball scene to get married or get in shape for the rocky top league. 
BTW, my team this weekend had CJ Watson, PG for the Golden State Warriors, and yes killer, we won again and no he is not better than you

[coachwgh]

Every time I speak to Wesley Jones I apologize for understating his value as our PG.  All the games that we have lost since he graduated, he could have helped us win.  Two years ago at our alumni game he we 6-7 from the 3pt line, too bad he wasn't on my team. 

[GSAC Killer]

The killer is getting married! But I have to say this: I am probably in the best shape I have ever been in since the days Mr.Randy Lambert woke us up at 6am for 6 straight weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a guy! It was also a Sweet 16 year so I guess it was worth it.

Watts you know if you want to win the Rocky Top who you need to take the Killer and I guess that Hopson kid. I heard he is pretty good!

Grubby one I am excited about the alumni game happening during Homecoming week! It is going to be bigger than the Super Bowl,World Series, World Series of poker, bigger than all of Old Lions stats!!! Love you Old Lion

[old_lion]

The killer is getting married!

Wow!  That horrendous sound you hear is of single women all over the southeast wailing, mourning, and generally lamenting their lost opportunity!

Congrats Killer! It's nice to know the next generation of "Pure Point Guards" is on the horizen.

Bride + Killer= Game Over

This is everyone's invitation to the killer's bachelor party at Dolly's Splash Country in Sevierville

Here is a link to an interesting article by Stefan Cooper in Blount Today about some of Maryville College's recent recruiting highlights.

I am glad that Damron was smart and comitted to MC, but that kid has a lot of work before he is as good as Eryk "Randy" Watson aka Sexual Chocolate aka Eryk Lambert aka The Biznus.  I guarantee there will be some good pick games this summer in murvul and in the Pilot Rocky Top League as i will take both of these guys.  I will tell you what, you look at Damron today and Damron in 365 days and you will see two totally different players.  Randy Lambert aka The Best will work him in to shape this year.  All of this hype makes me proud to be a fighting scot this summer and my guys will get plenty of recognition this summer from the knoxville media.  I can't wait.

PS we all know Kendal Wallace locked down these recruits and teaches them everything he knows

Robot,

Good to hear from you.  Thanks for the link. Keep me posted ... I'll definately have to keep up with you.  Maybe I can get some of the guys together for a road trip.

Check the schedules. If I make the trip, I want to see a Rocky Top game and an AAU game and/or practice.

Come see us ... you are welcome anytime.
