I've watched Syd play since jr. high. She's a tough player. I know Pikeville has a great deal of talent this year but I'm surprised she doesn't get more playing time.

I agree.. She should get more time. I know Pikeville likes to play with 3 guards most the time, and Syd's one of the players who gets stuck in the middle-- of being a guard (good shot but not as quick as most) or being a post (she can play low, but not got the skill or size to be there all the time). IMO Syd can shoot just as decent as anyone on the team inside the 3 arch (and shoots ok out there too) and from what Ive seen and heard lately Pikeville needs to be takin more shots inside the 3 line, so maybe Syd should get a chance to do so. I personally dont think the other guards will do so on their own. Unless Halbert and Shockey get them away form the 3 Pikeville may not do as well as they'd hoped.

I hope they come ouf of this... Good Luck Panthers!
