I guess everyone at Phelps is just anxious to see what you mean when you don't mean it's not just basketball?

Yes, I agree Belfry did beat Phelps 3 times this year BUT with Pruitt having half of their points in ALL 3 games and Deskins with the other, remember you are loosing them, they might had bad attitudes and it got out of control but they did keep belfry scoring. As far as Belfry beating Phelps, watch and see it's not going to happen. These two girls are going to give everyone a slap in the face.

Also, I done a little phone calling and if you would've watched these girls at all you would've known the played for Campbell their 6th grade and Fred 7th grade, they did run over Fred but he let them, they still won district though and got beat out in the semi's. They never played for Mr.May they didn't play their 8th grade year, they moved on up and started working out with Gannon's high school team.

It's also funny how you keep pointing Pruitt out when it was plain to see the Deskins was worse than her, every play screws up and gets T'd up sometime in their career but I guess all the other younger players on Belfry just have great attitudes, actually I saw a few fly from Howard and McCoy this year, I can completely understand their situation though I guess it's not coming up and not being the star anymore, but they will get what they want next year their time to shine but I don't think it'll be a very shiny day for them when they play Phelps. Just my opinion though.

I'll agree with you on one thing, Deskins was worse than Pruitt and Pruitt fed off that...as for your sources, you need to double check, Pruitt and Whitt both played their 8th grade year, but early in the year Fred quit and Mr. May took over...Mr. May did not let them run the show, so they quit...and yes, the younger girls do have great attitudes, thus three consecutive Pike County championships and a Mountain Conference championship...the only thing you saw from McCoy or Howard was them standing up to Deskins' verbal bashing which ran many of the younger girls off....McCoy, Howard, Woolum and Staten are true team players that are willing to do whatever it takes to win, any of these names should not even be mentioned in this thread as they knew as 8th, 9th and 10th graders they would not be stars, they just love and respect the game and will be just fine for the next three to four years...yes, Pruitt and Deskins did score 75% or more of the teams points due to their two man philosophy and only passing to their teammates when they were in trouble and needed bailing out and they should be your leading scorers and the younger girls know that, but they also need to get their butts back and play defense as hard as they tried to score...you may be right, Phelps may beat Belfry next year, but Belfry will win and lose with respect and dignity and not have the whole 15th region (especially the Belfry faithful) talking about how poor the attitudes are and how lazy they are...this young group of girls will bring pride, honor and dignity back to the Belfry Lady Pirate program and if Pruitt and Whitt do not want to be a part of that then we will gladly let them leave and wish them the best of luck...we at Belfry only want young adults (not kids) that want to be there and want to be a part of something bigger than what they are (A TEAM)!
