She would have helped, but like any sport, basketball is about how you match up with the other team. The paper said the other big didn't score much, my point being you can't put all your eggs in one basket. Gilmer had a fine season.

Gilmer girls runs a motion offence most of the time, running cutters for their two bigs . Argyle play a tight zone and shut done Gilmer inside game. You have to make adjustments. Tatum relied on run and gun offense, mam defense, Sanger made adjustments.

Congrats to My Vernon on Regional Championship.

Your comment is based on your opinion, no need to curse. I recalled a player from Tyler area few years back Warren who was a pretty good player, did not go D1. Only 3% of graduated girls will go D1. Trying to berate people who think different than you is immature in my opinion. BTW you do realize a vast majority of small D1, D2, NAIA hardly play all 4 years and most stay a semester or even a year then come home or transfer to a lower level school. Just saying.

Baller you really should loose negative attitude, keep proving that you know what you're doing.. No need to act defensive bout the Tatum girl. No one is doubting Mitchell girl ability. You need to be more harmonious, life would be happier.

So much anger coming from a defensive self centered coach who figured out he is wrote g so now he is over defending a comment so he will look good, speculation or fact ? Or an opinion ? I never said I was an expert at anything, merely making a comment which does not mean expert. Your comment of identifying my stature is quite astonishing. Please remember this is read by College coach's, if you're going to keep berating me and others, as Joe Kinder would say....... my my my ! My comments and opinions only.

Baller21, is that for basketball or crying ? It's obvious you don't comprehend very well. I never JUDGED OR SAID THAT THE TATUM GIRL was a bad player, I said in my opinion that I didn't believe she was big D1. The last big D1 player who started as a frosh and played & started 4 years was the Spears girl from Bullard. I have seen both girls play, Mitchell and Brooks for 3years. I heard Brooks is go to a Christian School. I gave basketball my life for over 30 plus years, I know a little about the game. BRI has a bright future beyond a shadow of doubt. Can she play small D1, D2, NAIA, not ride the pine, some think so.

My point is most small school kids don't like to go to college and sit. The post player from Tatum few years back. My asst said her name was Starling. She came home, said lack of floor time at SFA. Mavgrad your stats are some what accurate, the one you omitted is ONLY 3 OUT OF EVERY HIGH SCHOOL PLAYER GOES D1. And another thing NOT EVERY SCHOOL has 12 Seniors. And not every Senior wants to play b/ball in college. Three out of every seven that goes to any D level more than 300 miles from home comes back after 1 year. Ask the old Panola JC coach. If Mitchell is as good as some on here thinks, HAS GINO at U CONN, TARA at STANFORD, N DAME, TENN, CALED ? I doubt it. Just saying !

Pottsboro likes to play aggressive, WB #13 will like that. Pottsboro has good ball movement and shoots well. Should be a good game.

I would like to make an opinionated comment. No offence intended but there are NO D1 (big school) girl players in East Texas. Maybe small D2. Tatum had a tall girl few years back went to SFA, stayed few months and came home. D1, D2 & NAIA require extreme work ethic, drive, passion, determination and MOST of all SKILL's ! Left/Right hand, able to create a shot, slip screen, multiple offence and defense, drive to hole, shooter and good attitude. I don't see these qualities in Mitchell or Brooks. They can play ball the next level but not Big 12, SEC, PAC 12, ACC etc. Now Argyll, they have 3 D1 players. Most small girls want to start in college not sit for a few years. You can be big fish in little pond and play or little fish in big pond and sit !

My point is why do Tatum fans get to call people names and nothing is said ? This is a chat board, we all may have different opinions, but we all should be civil about it . Why don't a moderator step in support Smoaky rules ? Do the rules not apply to Tatum fans ?

Tatum had help ? Come on Carol They got beat because all they do is run an gun offense and man defense. To predictable.

I am ecstatic that I have English Lit major to correct my vocabulary. Bottom line is I simply expressed my opinion. On paper AlbaGolden by beating Sunnyvale, should beat Winnsborro. The fact of Sunnyvale beating Winnsborro soundly before. Pittsboro is a more balanced team. I could be wrong. My opinion only.

In the last 12 years Tatum girls had enough good players to field 5 college roster's. That plus Tatum was 2A & 3A for some years and still didn't go further. Like a certain person once said, " change is good. "

Didn't Mt Vernon beat the WLR's ? So AG vs Winnsborro and Pottsborro vs My Vernon. I predict AG vs Pittsboro final !

Tatum boys are good this year, Congrats to them. Coach Carr has to much class to run it up on anybody. But the girls are in the playoff's for years and have not been to Regionals. It upsets me since for years the Longview News paper get stats from Tatum after a game, that will say the team would have 27 assist's but yet only scored 45 points. Don't pad your stats, adjust to the game, make changes. Most of all use the player's STRENGTH to benefit the team !

One of the parents after the game said MPCH #12 was fever and flu all day. But MPCH had a heck of a come back. It don't matter neither team can beat Sunnyvale !

Wow, I got banned for a week last year for NAME calling. I guess when the moderator is from Tatum like you TatumTrain 9 its OK. I am offended and I am due an apology ! I have a right to post much as anyone. With all the great players that has come the Tatum girl's basketball program, and I mean there has been a plethora of great players as far back as Shandra Shaw, why hasn't Tatum went to State or even Regionals ? Because you have to be able to adjust and play more than Run and Gun offence and mam defense. And this is MY opinion only, not trying to berate. I don't think the Buckeyes will go much further either. My opinion. I applaud Tatum girls for having a great season.

I am asking , do you know how many times has Tatum girls been to the regionals under coach Beck ?

Here while back I was in a debate with Tatum girls basketball fan/moderator that Tatum girls wouldn't go past 2 rounds in the playoffs......... well guess I was right. Go Lady Buckeye's !

They won because MPCH shot 17% the first half and had 2 players with the flu. MPCH two best players #3 and #13 had points, they average 32 points a game between them. WLR may get past Alba, but the next one, " turn out the lights the party is over !

How bout you do like the song from the great Tanya Tucker Fidler, Mind your own business !

Let me put it in a way that even you may comprehend . Tatum "SHOULD" win the first game because the FIRST place in district plays the FOURTH place team, sans first round ! Like other teams in East Texas, Tatum RARELY wins the second game. So now how about Saturday at the LPD ?

I couldn't find a Jaguars in Long view. I sat in the L P D parking for three hours, but you was a no show...... like Tatum's girls basketball team in the second round of the play offs. ONE AND DONE ! I figured you would fill safe in LPD parking lot, I told you I am not out to hurt you. At least think about it. BaBa Yaga ! ! !

I know you are trying to bait me into telling you off so you can use you power to ban me, how immature. Just admit you are scared of meeting with me face to face ah for our debate ? I promise I will give you chance. Saturday in Long view Police Department parking lot ?
