The game that Valley won was a home game and ER never had the coaches son that night. Valley will not be able to handle ER next because of the ER size. You aren't thinking about ER's height inside. They will have three guys over 6'4". Bartley got good experience and was starting for ER at the end of the year. He will be much improved and I heard he will play some at the three spot. I heard he is improving his BH skills and outside shooting. He's already a good defender. They also will have the Mullins kid who like Bartley will be able to play the four and five spot. With Big Jake under the basket, how can Valley win. ER could have the best zone D in the Region by Tourney time. Size is something you can't coach and remember these guys will also get better over the summer. SV can't win with just outside shooting. You mix the fact that SV will have limited experience along with at times streaky shooting plus a new coach with a new system, means it could be a long year for these guys. Say what you want,but the truth is Booher didn't help these guys by giving them at times 0 playing time. I watched many Valley games where they where up by 40 at the half, a perfect time to mix your reserves in with the statrers. He always put those guys in 5 at a time at the end of the game. He should have and could have put those guys in 1 or 2 at a time with the starters right after the half. It would have made a difference for these young guys.

actually the coaches son did play. yes i agree valley will have a tough year with a new coach. but once they get settled they could give you some trouble. yes size is something you cant coach, valley is getting a 6'10 boy although he dont play strong neither does big jake. bartley isnt a good defender. and cant shoot outside or handle the ball. hes a hot head and if you get him out of his game. hes in trouble. just like jake. And i dont know the mullins kid. so i cant comment on him. But if valley gets working hard and learns the new system well they will be tough to handle, with the good shooting. yea they need size but remember they got the 6'10 boy from dorton. and the new 6'3 boy from paintsville. Valley has good guards. Logan Lucas has been working HARD and is starting to get an outside shot. Jake Robinson is gettin quick and can shoot the lights out. Rusty Roberts Can shoot good and get the rim pretty good. Trey Roberts can get to the rim well and is working on the shot as well as ball handling.SO i think they will be tough as the year goes. I just hope they get a coach soon, because if they wait to long the program is going down hill. I guess will we just have to wait and see what the season holds. Remember they could play 3 times next year.
