Smith has bounced back just like i said he would. Who knows what would happen if NS and Shade played each other again. But lets forget about that game because now the playoffs start. Tyler knows what he has to do now in order to get to the D5 championship game

Wishing Shade the best. I hope they get through tomorrow's game. If they do Smith will have a big part in it. Right now it's one and done. Shade will pull it out. D5 A is very difficult. Remember the three winners from last year went to claim a first round victory in the state play-offs. These same teams returned many starters. Shade wins tomorrow. Good luck boys. Tuffnuts give credit where credit is due. Fyock has a great deal of respect for Smith and trusts him. The team looks to Smith. Tell Smith no matter what, keep your head and go as hard as you can. Other than that get of Smith's back. Fyock is the coach any player would want. Kenny, Ryan, Nick, Bret and MJ play hard, pick up every loose ball and be confident in your skills and ability. You will complete the task at hand. Leave nothing on the floor. Defend your title. You have friends wishing you well.

I'm sure everyone on here has heard the saying "silence means acceptance". I find it a lack of leadership that some young man who certainly did not get his God-given talent or ability from Tuffnuts doesnt step up and stick up for is team.

My prediction for the Shade/NB game tonight. The Gibbons boy will do well. He will stand up to the competition, just as he did at UPJ against NS. Anyone can play well against the Windber, Meyersdale, and Shanksville, but when Shade is up against competition, i see the Gibbons boy as the leader on the floor.

WHO ARE YOU KIDDING TUFFY!!!?? If Smith ran his mouth then ya, you could say he learned that from the best but thank God he doesn't take after you.

Is Barnes banned from the Shade gym? Went to the game tonight and didn't see him which was a surprise.

The above in question hasn't been to a game played on Shade's home court all year long. This even extends into last year. The fans of Shade say they feel like they hit the lottery!

ditto to the barnes family! We wish we would have never gotten involved in this little two-faced town! You are all cowards. I wish you would come to any of us and say this crap to our face! You all know better!!

Why do you all think smith is quiet and stays to himself. If he wouldn't he would be knocking you all out. But believe what you want, because I took this young boy in when his father passed away and help raise the kid to who he is and taught and coached him in every sport he has played in. He knows you people don't like him and that is why he never allows himself to get close to any of you two-faced people. He knows you all are a bunch of jealous and ignorant people. He isn't stupid. Why do you think he wanted to play sports at another school? He is just finishing out his senior year and is thankful to get away from all of you negativity that you post on here. He knows he is good and so do we, but we don't care what you people say because any coach in the area wanted him and likes him and knows he is a fine young man! And all other coaches tell him that, so we don't care what you guys think or who you guys like! We teach our kids to play as a team and win as a team, unlike some of you who want your kid to score every basket and get everything out there! You people don't teach your kids about winning, it is all about themselves! Thank god ty and kenny aren't like some of you guys and have parents that know what winning is about and what team means!

TN, please think better of it and delete your current post.
