Girls Top Ten

[ballislife42]

Alright everybody. Let's take a sidestep to focus on the girls programs. What's your rankings for the top ten and why do you think they'll take that spot?

[ballislife42]

1- Carlisle - really solid set of girls coming back. Beat Earle last year in districts.
2- Earle - still have Scott
3- Quitman - graduated several starters but bring back some talent
4- Pangburn - bring back almost everyone I believe but don't think can beat Quitman
5- Marmaduke- have played really well the last several years


I don't see much competition past here

Spring Hill girls may be the best kept secret in 2A ball this year. Have high hopes, but we will see. They have the depth and talent PLUS much neeeded experience.

[Bildo]

From what I have seen... that list looks good to me. I think there will be some that will compete, I just don't know anyone outside that group listed that can win it. Ya never know though...

[HoopKing]

3 of those 5 are in the same regional.  Depth could hurt Carlisle.  I hope the coach is working on that. Earle will always be tough as long as Scott is there.  Quitman is the champ until someone beats them.  Pangburn is always solid and Marmaduke always had a great game plan. Is there anyone else that can challenge this group of teams.

[HoopKing]

It's quiet with just a few weeks until the season

[Bildo]

Everyone is still in football mode... wait till the first hard frost and people get the jackets out.

[Bildo]

Hector Plays Lamar Tonight they lost 2 Girls off last years team

[thebigman3]

Watched Quitman girls play last night and they are gonna have to get it together. They're almost a new team looks like with some good talent in sophomores coming off the bench. 14 gotta a technical foul in the 2nd quarter. Their coach i guarantee you subbed 30 times in the first quarter alone. That's just not gonna work if you ask me. They didn't play great and have a lot to improve on but I feel like by february they'll be ready to roll.

[LeftyWorld]

Just guessing but if he has a lot of young talent and newer players he may just be trying to get as many as he can playing time early that way come january they at least all have some game experience playing with each other and he can see what different lineups look like together. Idk just seems like something you could do with a team like that your first couple of games. never seen quitman play so idk what style he likes just a thought

I saw Quitman 2 years ago and that squad was lights out on fire defensively.  He apparently graduated some key pieces to that State Champ team.  14 got T'd up in the first quarter and fouled out quickly in the 2nd.  She was jawing hard at the ref and he T'd her up and then was back talking the coach on the bench.  He seems to run the same system, but you can tell they are struggling to learn it.  If they start to get in sync with that defensive scheme, they can be dangerous later on.  He was yanking girls who were missing assignments right and left.

yeah, I could see that but it's not that he was just subbing them for no reason. If they dribbled the wrong direction seemed like they was coming out of the game. He does have a lot of depth though.

Yes, he was. And also that GFWS team gave them a run for their money it's not like they were bad or anything cause they played good. I think once January comes Quitman will be a power horse again.

Marmaduke is way down this year. Riverside beat them 85-39 last week.

[redrider30]

Here's a news flash. Riverside is way up. They should contend for the 3A State Championship. They have also easily beat Bay at Bay and have beat BIC by 46 and 36 in the last week. Riverside is the real deal this year.

[Mj4465]

Quitman coach has always subbed....a lot.  They have probably 12 girls that can play ball.  Probably more depth this year than past years.  And one hurt that will be coming back in the next couple weeks.  Last night's performance wasn't stellar but they didn't start off great but it didn't start off great last year either and we all know how that ended...

[ak58]

Mduke stays overrated 🙄

[RedWolf275]

Don't know about Marmaduke always being overrated. They have a state championship along with another state finals appearance in the past 5 years or so. Pretty sure they had another final 4 appearance in there.
However, I don't think they are a top 5 team this year.

Coach Mackey always plays a tough schedule.   There is no way you get better by beating weak teams.  If you want to be the best, you have to play the best.

[Bildo]

I agree totally. Our conference is down on the girls side and it will definitely help come February

[thebigman3]

Does Hector girls bring back anything? Are they any count this year?

[Basketballfan13]

Does Hector girls bring back anything? Are they any count this year?

Should return the 6ft post that moved in from atkins last year, the strong power forward, and the stocky girl that could rebound really good. Will struggle to shoot from outside and if I had to guess will lack a guard who can create. I think they only lost the two main starting guards, but that'll be hard to replace.

They got 2 strong players struggled on the press against Lamar (thats gonna hurt in post season) but the post and The guard/forward are gonna win then several games for them. I think 1st year coach as well. Barely beating Lamar (don't have their starting point guard back yet) and a down right now Paris team, I'd say they will be solid in 2a but won't be anything like the past.  HOPEFULLY I'M WRONG love to see or local teams do good

Gonna Miss Rackley's size and the Senior Leadership but with that said Quitman just reloaded with plenty of talent and several players with lots of experience. Come January look out!
