I love my Bobcats and that is the reason I left Mullins last year with now Assistant Coach Brandon Kidd to come back home to the school we graduated from. There was times before the season started we wondered if we was doing the right things for us, but we knew deep down that Betsy Layne was in our blood and its where we belong. Now being able to say from my point of view, that I witnessed what happened today and from his point of view, lived it, this was the best decision we could have ever made! As for the rest of the state, I believe you will start to have people look and see where they're draw in this tournament places them in relation to the 15th with the young talent that Betsy Layne and Shelby Valley both have coming up! The last three years could be a very good sign of things to come, and all of us who follow grade school ball around here and realize what is up and coming know this! Next year may not be our year to bring it back to the 15th...but a lot of people did not expect it to be this year either...but the 3 years after that, the All A State Tournament should go through the 15th, no matter who comes out of this region!
