Basketball season for 2012/2013 should provide another exciting year. What should we expect from Manual ? Remember, please be constructive.

Manual will be extremely young this coming season. They graduated 7 of their top 8 players. The Crimsons have 3 Seniors returning in 6'3 Andy Tillman, 6'4 Simon Clifford, and 6'2 Miles Thompson. Thompson will be late arriving to the team after sustaining a broken collarbone in a recent football game with Trinity. The team is hopeful that Senior Dishan Romine will return to the team for his senior season. Romine was the backup point guard two years ago as a sophomore. He choose to focus on football last year. Romine displays great leadership and is an intense defender.

Manual will rely on several underclassmen including Jr. Trey Boyd. Sophomores Dwayne Sutton, Mike Nero, Jarrett Harness, Chris West, Jakory Freeman, and Tyron Horton. There is also a very good chance for three incoming freshmen to see significant time at the varsity level. They are Nick Reed, Tim Comstock, and Marquis McClendon.

 

I beleive that Crimsons will probably take some lumps early but by tournament time they should be hitting their stride and able to compete with anyone in the region.

 

Manual is participating in Holiday tournaments @ Oldham Co. in the Best of Hoops Tournament, and at Southwestern HS in the Lake Cumberland Classic. They will also be playing 3rd Region Champ Apollo @Iroquois in the Louisville Hoop Fest.

Thank you for the info.
