You have proved again that you are a total ***** once again....The big man shot 65% from the field and only got a few shots a game. You are have either not watched Short or are just the biggest hater in the world but if you think Short cant shoot you are crazy. Alot of people never got to see what all he could do because the Stepps wouldnt allow him to stay in the game but for a few minutes. College scouts were amazed at his potential to play inside and his awesome shooting outside. Call Jeff Honeycutt at Cordia and ask him about Short going 8 for 8 against him not long ago and Jeff saying after the game that he had no way to stop Short but he was amazed that the coaches kept taking him out with him killing Cordia. Or ask you coach Al Holland who said before the first game at the WYMT radio interview that Short had the best shooting touch for a big man that he had seen in a long time in the 14t region. That was your own coach!!!!!! It really makes you look even worse when you talk about someone like Tate Cox and Tate will have an awesome season next year at his new school that will play team balland if he is not any good then tell Al Holland to quit calling his parents 5 times a week wanting him to come to Hazard....It is your opinion and that is ok and I will never try to change that but with 95% of the people in this area this JBS team will always be considered to be the team that had the most talent in 25 yeats and could have went a long way at Rupp but you are right JBS is home. That is part of life and you dont always win in everything you do. The JBS kids have alot of things to be proud of and will never forget like playing in Rupp and also the friendships that have made along the way. SOme people that are over JBS made some decisions that made a huge impact on their season and it was tough for these kids to understand at their age why someone would give up the team for the sake of an individual but things like that happen in life and it is a shame it had to happen to a really good bunch of people. JBS is basically done and I am sure that makes Mr Survivor happy but these kids that are affected by this will learn from this and grow as young men in this world that throws alot of curve balls at you. I have always told people on here that JBS would be done in a few years but it is happening before I thought. There has been alot of talk lately of possibly closing JBS down before next year and even though that would make MR Survivor and some like him happy that would really be bad for them because all of the JBS kids would become eligible to go any place they wanted. It has always killed people like Survivor that JBS would have the nerve as a small school to take away the glory of the powers to be in the 14th....You will have to find another school to hate and maybe it will be Knott County because they are not allowed to win the region and beat the big powers are they? I am sure you will be on here next year talking about how KCC is overrated and talking about all of their players....

Great post! I agree totally. Survivor, no one on here said anything about Hazard not having talent, Hazard is loaded. But JBS is a much smaller school and they are the most talented around here. Some of their players are 7,8 and 9th graders, granted they don't play much, but thats where your talent comes in when you have a group of kids playing the whole game and not giving up. They keep on playing their hearts out because they want to win and they don't have many coming off the bench to give them a rest. These other teams that also have talent coming off the bench and giving their players a rest have it alot easier. They can have the rest period they need without having to worry about the score changing much. JBS doesn't have that benefit, because the starting 5 are the most talented on the team. So again I say this: They are children playing a game they love and listening to what their coaches tell them, don't get on here and blame these kids for what the coaching staff does. And just because they are not repeat regional winners don't mean a thing, Hazard had one of the best players last year to go along with this years same team and they did'nt win region last year, and your bragging about what a great team Hazard is. Together coaches, players, refs and a little luck decide the out come of a ball game. And if you don't believe that then your just stupid, if that wasn't the case then the best team would win every game. Anyway this thread is about Tate and so I say to Tate and anyone else who wants to transfer to KCC, come on over we would love to have you.
