As long as Randy is coaching a team, then they will play hard. I really think he is a great young coach in the mountains who knows basketball and gets the most out of his kids! Dorton will be fine this [email=year@!]year@![/email]

Thanks for the compliment, Playboy 5.

I was proud of the boys yesterday because they really rose to the challenge. Like I said earlier, Whitesburg beat us 34 points last year in this same group, and the boys were out to prove to themselves and everyone else that they had improved. These boys have worked hard over the past two years for their 8th grade year. They won 3 games as a team 2 years ago.

Whitesburg's press and offensive rebounding killed us.

I know one thing . . . any coach would love to have that many athletes on their team. That team has the ability to be one of the best middle school teams in the state.

By the way, that was Whitesburg's first game and our 7th.
