Basically Collins gets all the atheletes and kids that attend Shelby West Middle School, and having saw their middle school feeders, Shelby East being the other, for the last 10 years Shelby West beats East by 25-30 points on all levels. Shelby is getting the East kids and Collins is getting the Shelby West kids. Shelby has some good young talent, they start 2-3 freshmen in Varsity so it will take some time. They beat Anderson last night, great win. The coaching staff they have assembled will serve dividends as the transformation is going on, BUT as long as the split is happening the way it is expect Collins to be loaded every season and Shelby to be descent. Unfortunate but looking at the middle school teams now Shelby East is awful and West is loaded. They dont allow a transfer in district, so it looks like it will stay that way. There has been some discussion that they will divide the county in a different matter later on, but that is speculation. The powers that be are unhappy that their school with tradition is now a faded memory.

 

Thanks much Warrior. Welcome to the site by the way.

Grant Co. came out flat. Did not shoot the ball well, did not play the up in your face defense and did not rebound. I think they were suffering a little hangover after the SK win Friday night. They will be fine.

Hard to believe that Shelby Co has hit rock bottom. Remember the days when they won the region almost every year.

 

I was thinking the exact same thing. Collins' good fortunes = Shelby County's downward spiral.

Simon Kenton is finally as healthy as they're going to get. I look for them to right the ship and start winning these close games.

So is Barnes back? or is he out for the year?

A student always has the option of transferring to Trinity.
