I know all the players/coaches and others behind the scenes making the promises. NEXT stated Burch did want them and there's no doubt he is close to their coach and knows what he's talking about. I'm not going to comment on the two transfers other than all parties will be happier...so best wishes to all. The younger players on the team will have a "renewed desire" for the game. If you watched Belfry play this year they had two to three with the ball and that many just standing around. There is absolutely nothing wrong with Howard and McCoys attitudes...they adjusted nicely to high school competition and worked extremely hard to fit into their roles. Howard had a horrible season in regards to her health and was constantly weakened by illness or injury...get well quickly. Staten will be staying...she is also an excellent volleyball player starting her last two years and enjoys the game and her teammates.

There is another "rumor" floating around that impacts this thread. Will JR be back at Phelps. BMR has announced his retirement...it would extremely difficult for him to turn down. Time will tell.

One question...what grade is the Riley girl in for Phelps?

Riley will be a Senior next year......
