For folks that don’t know who you are talking about, Collins is a tremendously good 8th grader who led North in scoring and rebounding. This happened a week ago. She played for North last Saturday, then played (and had 27 points and 17 rebounds) for Knox Central on Monday. Not sure how that works.
Anyway, North is still the favorite in the region I believe, although the margin has now shrunk considerably. They did hammer a previously unbeaten Whitley Co. team their first game after losing Collins. Now most folks around here believe Collins is only going to be at KC for the rest of this year, then will land at South next year. If she had transferred to South now, by Laurel County rules she wouldn’t have been eligible for a year. This way she can theoretically be eligible as soon as school starts next year.
Adding Collins and the Mabe girl, another super talent who is redshirting this year, to what South will have coming back will make them the favorite for next season. We will see how it plays out.
