Heard today that Russell's leading scorer MABRY and the teams leading assist player FERGUSON quit the team last night. Both are 6'3" and seniors, starters and backbones of the team. I did not see this coming but did hear it today.

Both of them did quit. It is not a rumor. As for the program in decline, it already had. Its called losing 7 of your top 9 from a year ago and all of the starters to graduation. Now the defections. A small group of seniors and juniors requires younger players to have to step up. At one point last friday the lineup was a 7th grader, 3 sophmores and 1 senior. No varsity experience.
