Not a sole on here thinks Elisha is the best player in the state, but keep poking fun. Without him, they are a good team, but definitely not a contender. The region would be a toss up. You can say that about many teams though. If they played most of the season w/o him, they would have time to adjust and be a pretty good team. Just like when I coached Elisha at Dorton, it left a huge hole when he was hurt and when he graduated. With him, you never have to worry about another team's press.

Elisha has an AC separation and I don't know what that is, but he was told there was no tear. He is going to physical therapy and hopefully will be able to play in Florida.

When did you coach Elisha at Dorton? Was it in the 7th&8th. I was a Dorton Wildcat,1952-1956, Monroe Hall was the coach then, remember, or are you too young. Donald Goodson was our best player at the time--ages ago. I was disappointed last year when they didn't get past Paintsville and Slone, I understand a couple of players were injured then, also. Shelby Valley is best in pressure situations with Justice handling the ball. A few old timers tell me Justice is the best they have seen and they have seen some good ones.

In Florida they will need Justice at full strength, will he be at full strength? The competition will be tough, tougher than they have faced all year. Go Wildcats, Go Shelby Valley, Go Big Blue, GO KENTUCKY. MERRY CHRISTMAS.
