Basketball in Sikeston without Fred Thatch...
- Thread starter DOGFATHER1
- Start date
Nothing against Fred I think he’s a great player but I think we are all around a better team.... so far
I wouldn't go that far just yet. Sikeston is no doubt an offensive juggernaut so far. Cape had to resort to holding the ball on offense to try to slow them down which is nothing new. Sikeston has seen that for years. But what makes this team different without Fred is he was going to get all the defensive attention and this team has five guys who can all score 20 points on a given night.
Sikeston train, I will disagree with you on this one. The top level competition has not started yet for the Sikeston Bulldogs. Fred Thatch is one of the all time greats not only in southeast Missouri but the state of Missouri. Fred will be missed greatly when real competition begins. The St. Dominic Christmas Tournament will also be a big challenge for the Gregg Holifield coached Bulldogs.
The Sikeston Bulldogs will compete in class 4 district 1. The host school will be the Cape Central Tigers and that orange wall the Sikeston fans always complain about. You will miss Fred when the Bulldogs see that " Orange Wall " and good road competition. This appears to be the best Zumwalt South teams ( If they are healthy since Fred Thatch was a freshman in high school.
I didn’t read that as a prediction, but as a certainty. Do you do this often?
Because he posts quite often as if everything he says is a proven fact. Im trying to determine for myself how much is actually fact and how much is opinion/prediction/fabrication. That’s why it matters to me.
TJ Dub, Everything I post are either a fact or an opinion. I usually post on large schools in the St. Louis, and sometimes on schools in Southeast Missouri, mid-mo, Kansas City area or the Springfield area. If I post about power teams like CBC, Chaminade and Webster being a final four team this is an opinion since these games have not been played.
I usually try to give credit to coaches and players by listing their name. Good class 1 Teams like Risco ( 40 students ) and Essex-Richland ( 75 students ) don't get much print, I sometimes give them credit.
Sikeston Train stated the Sikeston Bulldogs could be as good or better without Fred Thatch. The Train is giving his opinion and I disagree with him.
TJ Dub, when you post on mosports, someone is out there judging your post and they might call you names or make insulting remarks if they disagree with you.
You posted that the district would be held in Cape and that Sikeston feared the orange walls. I asked if that had already been determined. You made it seem to be a certainty. My question hasn’t been answered as of yet. Usually a district host hasn’t been determined/awarded this early. But this is a new “system“ now with reclassification every year instead of two-year cycles. Do you understand now why I questioned?
TJ, The district assignment have been assigned. Check on the MSHSAA web site, go to " Districts assignment. " All five classes will be @ your finger tips. The statement made about class 4 district one being played @ Cape Central and the much talked about ' Orange Wall " is a fact.
The orange wall is a fans thing it has nothing to do with the players I’m sure they could care less
