Your right about Bell having the best football player in the region. Not sure how well that translates to basketball. I watched Bell play last season with more talent and varsity (several seniors who were the bulk of the scoring)experience than they will have this year. And that group finished last in the district! Bell will have to rely on a roster with one senior and several kids who have played few varsity minutes. from what I seen this summer Phipps was the only inside presence, and he is now at Pineville. Seems like bell is losing several good athletes to Pineville. Most unusual!!!

Wilson and Jones were in the top six this summer and are seniors - not sure if they are still playing, but I'd guess so. That's three seniors out of the top 6-7. Who else did Bell lose in basketball to Pineville besides Phipps?
Stephney would be a key player for any basketball team in the region, even if he is better at football.
