I usually agree with you, but this time I am going to have to disagree. A team can't win if all the players are thinkin about is their stats. I have been watching Belfry for many years, and played when Belfry Basketball was a force to be reckoned with. We had JJ Hylton and he could score and did, but he still played as a team, if another player was wide open and he was covered up he passed it. Belfry could have more points if they played as a team, more points means more wins. I saw several players wide open last night, (and many other nights), and yet the ball is not passed, the risky shots are always taken and then the chance to score is lost. Players who shoot their arm off and have a low shooting percentage is a red flag that they might should PASS the ball. That's not rocket science. Teams that win it all don't play selfish, I can promise you that. Luke warm so so teams play selfish, Belfry has the talent to step things up, but they have got to play as a team, if not they will not get to where they need to be. No player creates their own shots without the help of their teamates. Defense is an issue with Belfry your right, what I saw last night was Strothers man scoring every single time while he hung around and waited for the ball to go back down the floor so he could get a shot. If I was Casey he would have been on the bench. Due to this selfishness Belfry about lost it last night, Varney saved them in the end or it would have been a different outcome. Strothers is talented make no mistake, however his defense and unwillingness to pass the ball about got Belfry last night, in the end he would still have his 20 some points and thats all that matters isn't it? No, Belfry has got to come together as a team.

I can see your point. I think that everyone else is unselfish. I think that if it's a problem his teammates will bring it up. However, we have to figure something out and stop people on defense. We gave up 31 to Meade, 29 to Rowe, and 25 to Kirk. Not good.
