Good luck to the Lions as they travel to Averett. Thats a tough contest, but I like Piedmont in a close one.

Stefan Cooper's take on the Scots Blount Today:

That was great! I loved it.

I've been thinking about what I said earlier about Hernandez. While I think RDL makes a huge positive impact on his players, Hernandez had to want a spot on the team this year. He set the goal for himself and is hitting it! Going from the last one off the bench to being a "slim, trim" starter doesn't come by RDL (or anyone else) waving a magic wand. Greg has worked very hard for his starting spot on this team and I am proud and thrilled for him.

Great win by the Scots over Hampden Sydney.  I wasn't at the game, but I heard that Eryk had a very good game and the entire team as a whole played well the second half.  Let's see if their success continues tomorrow.

Our full time SID is in Jackson with football, so the assistant didn't get the scores posted.  I can't remember the exact Maryville score but they beat Hampden-Sydney by 1.  LaGrange 81 Virginia Wesleyan 72.

Thanks, Coach, and congratulations!!

Nice win, Coach!

Have a good season!

report from the radio:
Scots 66, Virginia Wesleyan 58, Final.
It's up to LaGrange to complete the ODAC sweep! 

Lots of freshmen played more than a little (Willett, Rucker, Lambert, Damron)

So did Dustin Brown. 

Scots even won rebounding and shot over 50%.  Watson 20, Lambert 16 (4 rebounds).

All these road games should grow 'em up quick!  Oglethorpe and Emory at Oglethorpe next weekend.



Coach Lambert happy with defense.

[mattgrubb]

that is the 2nd time Lambert has beaten HSC by 1 this decade and the 2nd time this decade he has played them.  2 big wins for the scottie dawgs.  This bunch of young pups may turn out to be alright after all.

Big ups to my favorite player, Lambert/Hernandez on a balanced floor game

[Big Dog]

Just a brief note regarding the Scots, no one should out tough or out hustle or out work a Randy Lambert coached team. Way to go Scots. More effort and more hustle bring out the "Purple Rain" by Prince on the bus, a favorite song of the younger version of Coach Lambert during the mid-eighties.
Regarding the Centre game, the halftime dancers were outstanding-very very good. The one older lady reminded me of Shiela Evans, who danced exclusively during the greatness of the Watts, Ennen,Housewright era. That lady could move.
Kudos to Watts and Placeres for putting together the Alumni game as well!
GO SCOTS!

The Scots finished the job in Lagrange with a low scoring victory over Virginia Wesleyan.  Kudos to coach Lambert for getting the troops ready for the weekend.

[mattgrubb]

yea, great job, now keep up the road trip for the rest of 2008, wow this is a brutal schedule

[Spencer Beaty]

it might feel like a couple road games in Atlanta since Spencer Beaty will be attending both games.

[mattgrubb]

look at Coach Haynes and the Panthers at 2 and 1, good job coach

good work putting that little tournament together, I always enjoy seeing GSAC schools beat ODAC schools

Although the Young Lions didn't come away with a win at Averett last weekend they did make progress. As the old saying goes "You have to learn to walk before you can run". Congrats to Coppage for all-torney team. Good Luck at Methodist guys.
