Head Roadie is 100% accurate in his comment that every non Zimmerman point TM scores is either by Clapper or a Zimmerman assist.

And Tussey's record would be?
The fact is if you only have one player on your team that can shoot, your odds of winning arent that high. Many basketball players would agree with me on that and Harris is one of them because we discussed this at work last night.

HR you are correct about the white flag at Tussey. Wait till TM is at Ridge but then again DB usually has the refs in his pocket at Fishertown too!

Really HR, Ridge has very little offense besides Barefoot, they have some nice atheletes on the floor with him but they can't play Basketball very well.

I always liked playing at Ridge. Ridge gets homered in their own gym all the time.

Without Zimmerman Tussey's record would be 0 for the number of games they played....... until they played Hyndman and then they might pick up a win. Once you see them play you'll understand.

You all need to step back for a minute. First off no one player makes a team. Granted without Zimmy Tussey would not be near as good as what they are. but even though he scored 33 against CT he didnt hit the game winning shot in ot, he had to pass it off and reed stepped up and hit the big shot when it mattered so there you see there is no "i" in team. Secondly whats this crap about bailey always having the refs?? If any one seen the game saturday night you would know that the only reason it went to overtime is because tussey was hosed by the refs the entire third quarter. So listen there is no such thing as a one man team, and chesnut ridge has a more solid supporting cast than tussey?? No way, tussey has the best one two punch with zimmerman and clapper and about 5 other role players who do what needs done to win, besides barefoot is the only one who scores for ridge. Zimmerman does make everyone around him better. When he doesnt score he always creates something so I would pick him as the best of the 4. Oh by the way Bison 1 if Harris has so many other good guys around him that he doesnt have to shoot all the time why is your record so bad???

Tusey Mt. Fan, don't get me wrong here your a good personal friend of mine and I'm not trying to be ignorant but I would never imagine that you would down an entire titan team like that. Zimmerman does carry us and I know your close with him too, but dang dont down us all, at least give us some confidence or something :lol: . But i do get your point we need him badly, and knowing you like I do I'm sure you don't mean things to sound how they do in your post.

TMHOOPS0815, I think your taking TM Fans and some other comments out of context. Zimmy and Clapper are a great one-two punch...they are involved offensively in everything TM does and they have to be. The other players are not very skilled basketball-wise but can make the open shots when they are set up properly. TM does not have any other players who can create their own shots. Now, before you think I'm downing these other players, I'm not...just stating my observations in the 3 games I've seen them. I will say the "other" players have great heart, determination, hustle and all know and understand and accept their roles on the team. If CR 3rd thru 8th player played TM's 3rd thru 8th player what would the result be? Even 2nd thru 7th? I think it would be Ridge by a lot because I think TM would have problems scoring points. But with Zimm, I'll pick TM by 10...that's how he makes others better players, he's certainly not a one man team but with his abilities coupled w/Clapper and a bunch of blue collar, tough, hard nosed role players, you guys have a pretty darned good team and that's what TMFan and others who are in support of Zimmerman are trying to say here.

Don't know if you "get it" or not but everyone is IMPRESSED by Tussey's TEAM....Zimmy makes them go by not only scoring but setting up others for good opportunities, He's also the only "superstar" type player of the 4 mentioned in this thread that plays defense hard all the time...I'm extremely impressed by Tussey's "other guys" they rebound, hustle, and in general have all the ingredients to make this work and give TM a real shot at pulling a major coup if they can steal the SHL title from Everett and S.Fulton.

Your right Head Roadie. I was just joking with TM Fan, hes a friend of mine and I meant nothing ignorant towards anyone. We do need Zimmy to make us go, that proved in the first Mcburg game when we lost without him and then with him won by nearly 30. And your right in what you said, Zimmy and Clapper get the job done and everyone else plays hard and hits the open shots and does what needs to be done to win and i do think we can really surprise some people and win some BIG games if we continue to do these things and Zimmy continues to play as good as he has been. I never meant that everyone on the team are all-stars, but like you said we all fill are roles and play hard every game. As far as ridge goes I understood it that Barefoot was there only really skilled player. Again I was only joking with TM Fan hes a friend of mine and i hope you both understand I was only joking.
