I can see why Martha Layne was not looking forward to this year without Hicks, there a totally different team without him...

Actually, Shelby County is the one devistated, Collins is actually holding their own and I still think a threat in the 8th region with their size and athletes. With Hicks they may have been an almost sure bet, but still in the mix without him. If I'm not mistaken, up to last week, Shelby County had won 3 ball games between their boys and girls varsity teams according to an article in the local paper. I knew they were hurting, but didn't realize how bad it was.
