I don't think that Allen Central is bad at all. A lot of teams are getting overlooked in the 15th this year, East Ridge included- They may be a young team but they have proved to be pretty impressive to me this year.

I don't fully understand your post. Are you implying that Allen Central isn't bad? And are you trying to say that East Ridge is young? ER is stacked with upperclassmen, mostly juniors and look very impressive. I personally look forward to seeing ER play "an impressive" team so we can see the real Warriors. It seems like they play down to their compeition and once they play someone stronger, you'll see an impressive team. East Ridge is in the Top 5 of the region so far.

As for Allen Central, their play speaks for themselves. Mark Martin wants his team to play a ball control style to dictate tempo with players not capable at this point to perform the task. What ends up happening is AC turns the ball over making too many passes on offense, giving up easy buckets to opponents and getting themselves behind the 8-ball quickly. Yesterday, the Rebels showed no urgency to try and make a run to comeback in the game. They conceded the contest, choosing instead to work on their offense and play for the bigger picture. Will the player buy into this? Will this truly change the attitude of the team? We'll find out.

If you're playing next season already AC, why not start Harlow in the post over Salisbury? Let the younger guys like Tanner Walters, Meade and Woods play more over others. Those players appear to have potential athletically. Continue to play Seth Jarrell every chance you get. And hopefully someone like Chris Stumbo will step up and be a leader.
