GHH:  Nice to hear from you.  I have not seen an entire game yet so do not know much.  Neither Methodist nor VA Wesleyan, whom the Scots beat at a tournament, are having much success.  Agnes Scott tomorrow will be a test, at least if they have anything back from last year.

How is Alex?

I will check in and see how the Agnes Scott game goes. Hope to come watch a few this year.

Alex is doing great. Thanks for asking. She is still living in Maryville, employed with a company out of  Knoxville, working with and teaching children with autism. I am really proud of her.

Hey Scottiedoug:

Just wanted to check in and see how our ladies are looking this year. I see we 3-2 so far. Look like they played CN pretty tough.

Hope you and your family are doing great.

MC let the "BEST" leave without question....Dee Bell.

No stability at the head coaching position since he left.

Watched the game.

They played well.

If the one kid from WU hadnt had a career night, things could have been different. She was averaging 11 ppg and scored 31 which included 8 - 12 from 3-point.

Though a little late....

Congrats to the Lady Scots on winning the regular season and conference tournament championships! Job well done!

Good luck against Washington U. Nobody gave us much of a chance last year against then #5 ranked Oglethorpe and we almost got them.

Relax, have fun and lets see what happens!

If weather permits, I think I'll make the trip.

Big game tomorrow with LaGrange at Piedmont.

If LaGrange wins, Maryville gets #1 seed.

If Piedmont wins, that sets up an very exciting game next Saturday with Piedmont at Maryville. Winner gets #1 seed.

The transfer, Sada Wheeler, from the SEC South Carolina Gamecocks make Piedmont a totally different team.

Its a 3 team race now: Maryville, LaGrange and Piedmont.

Scottiedoug:

Thanks for the correction on the volleyball players.

I mentioned LaGrange because I think they got 4 of their 5 starters back from last year. They played us pretty close (13 pts) on their floor last year.

I mentioned Spelman just because they will probably pressure us most of the game and sometimes we have turnover issues.

Ashley Holder - Post Player - Played pretty well when on the floor

Paige might be coming back. She is the only player still listed on the roster not with the team.

Lost another player last week for whatever reasons. That left only 9 active players. Looks like we added 2 players who are current or former soccer players.

Beat Agnes Scott by 18 tonight!

Should run the table.....don't sleep on LaGrange or Spelman. Should make tourney.......I doubt we get to host even if we win it all because of lack of strength of schedule and number of noticeable wins.....Probably play someone like Mississippi College 1st round on their home floor.

If Paige comes back, does that open the door for everyone else to return?

Seems like a lot of people leaving a program that is winning....  Page had played for Coach Wright before so you'd think she knew what to ezpect.  Could be money or academics?  GHH you are usually the one who knows things!

Winning is not everything! Being treated and talked to with respect and some show of loyalty means alot to some. Kids watch whats going on around them more than we give them credit for.

I hear Paige left school. I look for at least one more maybe to quit.

bkbfan30:

I hear Paige, the transfer from Roane State has quit the team. I just checked the box scores from the tourney in Indiana and she was not listed in either game. We will miss her 3-point shooting if true.

Any info?

Donja has something to do with her bursa sac in her knee. Not sure if there's anything else going on.

We need a defensive stopper. Somebody like Mel or Colleen from last year.

And we too nice! Kills me late in games when a player has maybe 1 or 2 fouls and just give up a layup. Make them earn it on the line.

I wouldnt go as far and say those who quit were defectors. Maybe they just didnt want to put up with some of the things that others will put up with, had other priorities other than basketball or just simply didnt want to play.

Team should get back on the winning track versus Greensboro. Most of the players from last years tournament team are gone.

scottiedoug:

Tara did tear her ACL. Surgery scheduled around the 27th of this month.

Roster has really took a hit. Season started with 19 players.
Injuries out - 3 ( Tara, Donja, Ashleigh)
Chosen to leave team for whatever reasons - 5 ( Kelsey, Laura, Kelsie, Jessica and Alex)

Forced 34 turnovers last game. We had 30, but still won by 20.
Berry will be a tough test.  Should have a good crowd to cheer our ladies on!!!

What is the report on Tara's injury?  She is a big part of the Scots' strength and depth....

I talked to Todd after the game. He said trainers informed him torn ACL. Have not heard anymore.

Young Scots looked pretty impressive against a talented and unbeaten Carson Newman!  They will beat a lot of teams if they play that well.

They played extremely well! Harmon a scoring force inside as expected. A little more defensive rebounding and we win that game. I was really impressed with the freshman #11, Janell Menard.

Losing Tara is going to hurt.
