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.

I'm glad to hear they are making progress. I think chemistry is an often overlooked and under rated factor. Eventhough last year's team had absolutely no size, they were loaded in team chemistry. That group was fairly highly ranked for 4 years in scoring, assists, steals, and shooting percentages ...

I think as these Young Lions learn to play together and make the game easier for each other, you'll see improvements in all those catagories ... and in "the catagory" ... Ws.

Hang in there Young Lions.

Congrats Sam, on all-tourney. It is a big job, trying to "run the show" and get your points, as well. I'm sure you'll get nothing but better, as the season progresses.

The oglethorpe loss hurts

The Scots got back on the right foot with a convincing win against Emory. We were clearly the better team in both games, but we decided to finish the Emory game.

I saw the Scots play this afternoon. They are another well-coached Lambert team that plays hard and plays well together ... but I think the overall talent level is down a good bit from the Murvul teams I've seen over the last few years.

For instance, I didn't see anyone that I'd rate on a par with Placares, Bowers, Golden, or Blair.

Obviously, Watson is a good player ... the two freshmen guards from MHS are going to be good ... and I've always thought Laverdiere was underated. There are some tough role player types down low ... but, in my opinion, no one really outstanding.

mattgrubb · November 30, 2008, 10:28:20 PM

no one that is outstanding yet, but watch for Watson to rewrite the record books before it is all over, also look for Hernandez to develop, getting in shape was half his battle, now he has to get better

Good road win!! Another big road game coming up wednesday. RL always plays cn tough-beating them last season. CN avg around 100 per game giving up low-mid 90's too. Womens team at CN avg 92 should be some fun ball to watch. Only be better if Watts is in the house

Old Lion it is PLACERES!!!LOL.. I like the Scots team. Very balanced!! On any given day someone can step up.

My ideal Line-up would be Damron,Lambert,Watson,Orr,Hernandez.
But I also like this line-up Laverdiere,damron,lambert,watson and either hernandez/orr

Carson Newman has great talent but they don't have Randy lambert

Watts won't be there "Dog" he has yoga practice tonight

I'm not disputing that ... any Lambert coached bunch is going to be a well-balanced team. I just think the overall talent level is down compared to recent seasons. I think that's probably true across the gsac.

I haven't seen Huntingdon yet, but they did lose to SE Bible College @ home ... and when they beat Sewanee, Pursell only played 1 minute.

mattgrubb · December 01, 2008, 12:17:14 PM

yeah, i think the Scots are just young, they only have one senior

They will be ready after xmas

i will be in attendance on wed. I will be performing my yoga routine at halftime of the women's game for everyone to see. Halftme entertainment of the men's game will be The killer's high school team in a 5 min scrimmage against 1st baptist of Jeff. city's 9 year old upward team. should be a good match up.

thisdogwillhunt · December 01, 2008, 01:48:42 PM

I'm glad i will not be around at the half of the women's game to see the yoga routine. Looking forward to seeing you and the MC alum on Wednesday

Spencer Beaty · December 02, 2008, 04:04:38 PM

Beaty will be in the house Wednesday at CN, but hopefully, I won't have to watch the yoga

Good luck to the Lions as they host Greensboro College. Piedmont always plays well at home. Hopefully they can get their first W of the season tonight.

GSAC Killer · December 03, 2008, 09:35:16 AM

Good Luck to the Scots tonight! I wish I could be there but I am exhausted. Two games in two nights is not good on the body. Need rest.. By the way the Highlanders of the only Cuban Coach in East TN 5-0 for the first time since 1999.

I learned from the best... Randy Lambert AKA Jesus Shuttlesworth AKA John Wooden of DA VILLE
