Congratulations Coach Holifield....

[metro-dude]

3Rfan...the stats I saw said PB out rebounded the Dogs 38-33. That’s a far cry from 2-1.

I have been told Bark and Bucket are " Lap Dogs " for Holifield who is now the best known high school basketball coach in Missouri. Others have said, Bark and Bucket are Holifield's puppets. Can anyone give verification on the Lap-Dog and Puppet label? These reports came from the Sikeston-Dexter area and have basketball backgrounds.

I think your “sources” are WAAAYYY off base. Please drop a lure in another pond.

How come Richland always had such underachieving teams back in the 60s and 70s with the incredible talent that came through? My sources have told me they should have won state multiple times but wouldn't beef up the schedule.

Nice try Bucket, when I was there we played Sikeston two times. Gene Bess and Oran was the #1 ranked team in Southeast Missouri. NMCC was in the two three and they defeat Richland 19 points. Mathews was a top five team in Southeast Missouri, they defeated Richland 3 points, my first year @ Richland. We defeated Charleston by one point who was good back then and now. North Pemiscot was 9-0 when we played them, I think we defeated them by 5 points.
We got beat by SCC by 15 points.

1. Sikeston--two times--split
2. Oran ranked #1--They won both games . one games was 2 points.
3. NMCC--Ranked in the top 5.
4. North Pemiscot ranked
5. Mathews--Ranked
6. Charleston--I'm not sure they were ranked
7. Advance--two times--they beat Richland two times.
8. Dexter two times--Jim Hall was coaching there and was on top of his game
9. Bernie

It was a state tournament atmosphere @ home games during that area. I remember my top salary @ Richland, it was $ 6900. dollars.

I'm not sure of the other teams but back then--The small school played the big school and competed very well. I believe Richland had about 240 students in high school. To be quite honest, I did not do as good a job coaching as I should have. Playing against coaches like the Cookson, McDaniel from Sikeston, Gene Bess and Jim Hall made it difficult if you were not on the top of your game but I learned a lot and had fun.

We started 4 sophmores and a senior my last year @ Richland. The next two years were dominating years for Richland as the four sophomores came of age as Juniors. Jonnny and Dennis, Norman Cole, Dan McGee and others. Norman Cole is a Sikeston resident and Sikeston fan 2 the present. I was in St. Louis during two of the best years in Richland history. As a coach, I fooled the Richland fans and administration for two year before chasing the money in St. Louis.

Bucket, seek out Norman Cole @ a Sikeston game, he still remember me and calls me Coach even today.

Bucket, you can check the above out using the Sikeston Standard as a reference.

Since Richland played a difficult schedule, my sources say they should have won state multiple times with the high level talent for a small school. I'm surprised that the schedule did not adequately prepare them for the state tournament by your assessment of how important schedules are. Many of my sources think your assessment of schedules is not as important and having great coaching along with top talent is more important. But if Richland's schedule was that brutal, I'm curious how they could not pull off success in the state tournament.

NMCC didn't exist in the 60s. New Madrid HS and Matthews, Lilbourn, Howardville all consolidated in 1980.

Well I got the stats from our radio guy on the way home so I most certainly could believe he wasn't looking at the right line or just didn't count em up too well. It sure was fun game to watch either way.
I just saw on the Cape news that Jackson beat P.B. tonight. I don't know why that would happen this season either but there is something about Jackson-P.B. that doesn't go right for P.B. most of the time in a lot of sports.

The West Plains game @ Sikeston----------Randy Benson is a long time and successful high school basketball coach in many southeast Missouri schools. I believe Randy graduated from Senath-Hornersville, Randy has a son who is the coach @ West Plains. The West Plains-Sikeston game to end the regular season will be " Ole home week " for the head coaches in this game.

This one is for Bucker, New Madrid ( Not NMCC ) was ranked # 1 in southeast Missouri when Richland played them back in my area. They had a player named " Red Tucker ", I met this #1 ranked team @ the door and welcomed them to Richland. I had a big smile on my face when Red Tucker past by. Red looked over @ me and said, coach, you will not have that smile on your face after the game tonight. Red Tucker and his senior laden New Madrid team schooled the sophomore laden team from Richland that night.

After talking with a former Richland player today who told me about an eight team tournament @ Richland in 1971 or 72. The teams were Poplar Bluff, Cape Central, Cape Notre Dame, Hayti and Richland.

Here is the order of finish

Richland defeated Hayti in the finals.

Richland defeated Poplar Bluff in the semi-finals
Hayti upset Cape Central in the semi-finals.
I can not remember who won the third place game between Cape Central and Poplar Bluff.

I missed out on this one as I was in St. Louis. Larry Joplin was the new successful coach @ Essex- Richland.

My inside sources have said that David Sims was the star of those Richland teams. David Sims was a Sikeston student, who transferred to Richland and became a star. Even with this all-star transfer by the name of David Sims, Richland still did not win a state title. metro indicates that Richland played a difficult schedule. metro says playing a difficult schedule should prepare you to hang a state championship banner. Where was the failure with the Richland teams of the late 60s and early 70s? With a roster full of talent, including the Sikeston transfer David Sims, and a difficult schedule, Richland did not reach the "pinnacle" of a state championship in the smallest classification in the state. No small school in the state could match the talent of the loaded Rebels. According to metro, Richland played the large schools in SEMO but failed to schedule large schools from outside the area. Was this a failure of the athletic director or the coach or somebody else? Why didn't Richland schedule large schools from St. Louis to better prepare the loaded Rebels for the "pinnacle" of a state championship banner. Yes indeed, many fans have often wondered what happened to Richland-Essex basketball of the late 60s and early 70s. How did this "sure thing" fail?

Bucket, those small school back in the day as well as Sikeston did not have the budget to travel past Cape and Poplar Bluff. Your are correct David, Johnny and Dennis Sims were from Sikeston. They moved to the Essex-Richland school district for a better life which was a new housing project named Pennerman. David was a good friend of Sikeston's Fred Towns who often made visitors to Essex. @ one time Fred wanted to transfer to Richland as well but was a senior @ Sikeston. The MSHSAA was very tough on transfers @ that time. Richland Principal Jim Lawrence was not on board without Fred's family moving into the district and not just living with the Sims family.

Bucket, David was a very good player ( Quick and athletic ) so was his friend Willie Jones. These were tough guys. I believe if Fred moves to Richland, Gene Bess and his #1 Oran team may not have got a second place finish in class 2A ( three classes ) however Gene Bess was their coach and could have made a difference in the outcome. Oran defeated Richland by 2 points @ Richland David's senior year. I remember this game well--Carl Ritter ( Advance ) and his brother was the refs for that game.

Bucket, I was not the best coach while I was @ Richland. My friends Gene Bess, Corroll Cookson and Dexter's Jim Hall were the elite coaches @ that time.

Sugar Defender Reviews - Is it Effective? Experts Advice

When considering any supplement, it's crucial to weigh the potential downsides alongside the benefits. Sugar Defender, a popular dietary supplement designed to regulate blood sugar levels and support overall health, has its share of cons that users should be aware of before making a decision.

Limited Scientific Evidence​

One significant concern with Sugar Defender Reviews is the limited scientific evidence supporting its efficacy. While the supplement contains ingredients known for their potential benefits in blood sugar management, such as berberine and chromium, there is a lack of robust clinical trials specifically validating Sugar Defender's overall effectiveness. This can make it challenging for consumers to fully trust the product's claims without more substantial scientific backing.

Possible Side Effects​

As with any supplement, there are potential side effects to consider. Some users have reported experiencing gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, diarrhea, and stomach cramps after taking Sugar Defender. These side effects may vary depending on individual tolerance and the body's reaction to the supplement's ingredients. It is essential for users to monitor their body's response and consult with a healthcare professional if adverse effects persist.

Cost and Accessibility​

Another drawback of Sugar Defender is its cost and accessibility. The supplement can be relatively expensive, especially when compared to other blood sugar management solutions. Additionally, it may not be readily available in all regions, making it difficult for some potential users to obtain. This can limit its accessibility for individuals seeking an affordable and convenient option for managing their blood sugar levels.

Lack of Personalized Dosage​

Lastly, Sugar Defender does not offer personalized dosage recommendations. Each person's body and health condition are unique, and a one-size-fits-all approach may not be the most effective or safe way to manage blood sugar levels. Without tailored dosage instructions, there is a risk of either underdosing or overdosing, which can affect the supplement's effectiveness and safety.

In conclusion, while Sugar Defender offers potential benefits for blood sugar management, it is important to consider these cons. Limited scientific evidence, possible side effects, cost and accessibility issues, and the lack of personalized dosage recommendations are critical factors to evaluate. Prospective users should weigh these drawbacks against the potential benefits and consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating Sugar Defender into their regimen.
