Big Hog,

First off you should wait until the story is over before you say I told you so!

Second there may only be a handful of people if any on this board that have watched more SV games since 1991 than myself. Just love basketball. I can say that Jusice has out lived lot of the expectations. I remember watching him in his first go around in the regional tourney he was a very small kid, very quick with good handles. Not a great scorer but would occasionally knock the three. I thought this kid could be special but his size will always be a problem. Since then he has grown a little (not much) and added 20 pounds of muscle(hard work) He has competed well at Rupp and against other top competition in state and out of state. He is an ALL A STATE CHAMPION AND TOURNEY MVP. HE EARNED ALL STATE HONORS AND WILL BE IN CONSIDERATION FOR MR BASKETBALL THIS SEASON. He has gotten to travel and play against the best players in the country through AAU and ELITE CAMPS. Knock him if you want, knock the SV fans for loving him if you want but make no mistake about it. He has exceeded any expecations set for a kid that is to small to play from Dorton KY and that is whether is playing D1, NAIA or anything in between next fall. He has made a place for himself in the history books of mountain high school basketball.

Fantastic post. Here is the deal. Enjoy this year and enjoy the talents of Elisha. There is no one anywhere around here that plays with as much passion. You just do not see it all the time. Enjoy Shelby Valley's team. Are they a bit arrogant sometimes? Yep, who cares. As long as they don't go overboard , let kids be kids. They have a real shot at getting back to Rupp and making it farther than last year. Here is my advice to them. Play with energy and passion, but keep the flashiness and bling to a minimum. Let your play do the talking and your record speak for itself. Try to improve each game, and do not let being "Kings of the 15th Region" be your main goal. Aspire to be the best TEAM you can be and all the other individual and team goals and awards will fall in place.
