Saw in the Clay Co. newspaper that starting guard TaLaura Mathis, and her sister, who subs for them (only a sixth grader I think) had left Clay and enrolled at North Laurel. An official at North confirmed it for me, but is not sure if they will be able to play this year. Mathis' dad, who was an assistant at Clay, resigned his spot as well. A falling out with Burchell apparently. While this will not make North a contender this year, it will certainly help them down the road, and will be a big blow to Clay, because Mathis was arguably the best outside shooter in the region, at very least one of the best.
