Any predictions?

[JustThinking]

If OBI can't beat Jackson Co. They need to stop all the Hype of new players and new Coach. Just say another typical year for Oneida.

[HCS]

They need to stop?
You and Bigmouth started all the hype.

[Bigmouth1953]

HCS I thought it was a free country. Say what we think an feel.

[HCS]

True. I thought it was ironic he was complaining about the hype.
I will take OBI by 10.

Obi won by 14

Need to get Coach Hayes out of retirement

Congrats to OBI on the win. But will also say it wasn't a 14 point game until the last 3:20 of the game left n Jackson pulled their player's. It was a dog fight from tip to finish. Obi still needs to improve on defense but besides that woods n Estep and Hall looked very very good. Great performance from them three. But I will say people was telling me in the stands that Jackson County was playing mostly sophomores and if so they will be dangerous in a couple of yrs. They could be a team nobody wants to play also come post season but I don't know the kid but #22 for Jackson County the kid can play n if he's a sophomore you better find out his name because he's going to be a baller the kid doesn't have any quit in him . Beat n bang all night . But it was a will deserve win for OBI and just got to keep competing to reach the top five. I do see some improvement since the Clay game. Seem that Obi was more calm n collected than they where against Clay.

The last I heard, Rose was out with an injury. I'm not sure how long it will be, but he's their best player. Baldwin was a starter last year and pretty solid but isn't playing, I was told, so they have to be rebuilding without those two.
Still a good win for OBI. I'm interested to see how they match up with W-burg. The Jackets are clearly the favorite in the All A at this point after beating
Barbourville and Harlan.

I don't know HC who the #22 kid is but he looks about 6 ft tall and the kid can ball. The people in the stands said Jackson was all sophomores besides a couple was juniors n they had like 2 seniors but the kids that played the majority was sophomores n one junior. Yea u are right some parent told me that the Rose kid would be back playing over Christmas break n they said he was their best player. So I'm telling you with the team I seen and the Rose kid back Jackson County could be a hard team to play on any given night. They have heart n play very hard with no quit and that's not something that you can teach in kids this day in time.

I haven't seen them yet and numbers aren't on KHSAA roster. Jude Lakes is a freshman who started late last year, I think. Clay Akemon is a junior who started last year. Not sure on the other starters without Rose or Baldwin. They still have four seniors on the roster I have. Parrett is a good coach, but I expect them to be rebuilding most of this season.

[Bigmouth1953]

What I found interesting is that there big kid only play a quarter and there pg who averages about 15 only had one field goal. And still won by 14, got to 18 at one point. And was around 6-7 point lead the entire 2nd half.

BigMouth you missed under stood my stating I'm not taking nothing from OBI. They played very hard and put up a great fight n looked very good I said. But their defense still needs some improvement and Estep n Hall n Woods looked very very good tonight. It was a dog fight the whole game. I was also just stating that on Jackson county I didn't know who the #22 kid was but that kid is a baller. I was there n he beat n bang n gave both bigs inside all they wanted by the end of the game n for him to be look like 6 ft n playing as a big like that these coaches better get to know his name because the kid can hoop. I've got no dog in this fight but I just stat what I saw n wanted to credit both sides of the game. And yes Obi did win by 14 points and I'm not taking nothing from OBI but you know just like I know it was a 6 point game all the way through n Jackson even lead some in this game but with 3 minutes to go the game was a 6 or 8 point obi lead n Jackson pulled it's dominate player's with one fouling out. But Obi did look a alot better than they did against Clay. I quoted they looked more com n relaxed n was ready to go from the start to finish. So quit being so hard to accept the compliments that OBI does get. They will eventually be in the top 8 to 5 come January but u have to let OBI receive n earn into that position and quit thinking everyone is out to down OBI. If you will just slow down n read my quote I plainly praised OBI n stated that they looked really good so just be patient and quit taking everything offensive. Good luck to you and OBI n hope Obi can win them all.

[Bigmouth1953]

This wasn’t put at you. I was just stating what I saw. I know you were give Oneida compliments.
