They also beat Shelby Valley. I think the reason everyone loved them so much ,this team was a team from a small town and wasn't mixed matched with players from all over. Elliott more than proved themselves last year,even going down in defeat the first game against SV it was obvious they were clearly the better team and proved it in the Sweet 16 where it really mattered.

Let's see, everyone on SV's team who saw any time either played at Dorton or Virgie, (Elisha, Logan, Curby, Varney--Dorton. Hatfield, and both Newsomes--Virgie) with the exception of Devan Adams--South Floyd and Pikeville. I'd really call that mixed matched wouldn't you? Where did you get that from? I had heard that the Knipps previously attended or were from somewhere else. Not sure if that is true or not, but SV's team from this past season is as homegrown as 99% of the teams in the state.
