Basketball season for 2013/2014 should provide another exciting year. What should we expect from Shelby Valley? Remember, please be constructive.

Shelby Valley has a new coach in Jim Hicks, formerly of Grant County. SV returns plenty of experience, but it's a group many feel have underachieved the past couple of years. Junior guard Dalton Richardson, junior forward Andrew Newsome, and senior center Cody Belter are the leading returnees. Added to the roster are senior guard Tyler Carr and sophomore guard Steve Silvers.

 

Look for SV to play with much more intensity under Coach Hicks. SV has very good depth in other returning players Hunter Swindall, Cory Hamilton, Lamont Wright, and Jesse Lucas. Johnson Central has won the region the past two seasons and is the favorite again this year, but look for a group of teams including Lawrence County, East Ridge, Sheldon Clark, and Shelby Valley to push them for the title.

What schools are showing interest in Belter? You can't teach 6'10.

 

Also, where did the Silvers kid come from and what are both his and Carr's games like?

I don't know about Silvers but Tyler Carr came from Grant County. Tyler Carr is a very good player. He would have been the pre season #1 ranked player in the 8th region if he had of stayed at Grant.

Carr had the green light at Grant and I would expect the same at SV. Good shooter who averaged about 20 pts per game, gets to the foul line and shoots well from there too. Seems to rebound well for a guard also.

Thanks. How tall is he? What kind of athleticism does he have as well?

I understand that Shawnee State has shown interest in both Belter and Carr. Silvers came from Pikeville where he was a starter last season. He has a really nice outside shot, but needs to work on the other areas of his game. Carr should be the leading scorer for SV. He is really crafty with the ball and has the ability to create shots for himself and his teammates. SV has struggled with turnovers in the past and I think Carr will go a long way in correcting those problems. I think SV will surprise some people at how much better they will be than the past two years...

Shouldn't be much of a surprise with 3 potential collegiate players on their team. In fact, it shouldn't matter who the coach is with that kind of talent.

It matters.
