I refuse to believe that there's 5 players in the 11th region better than Darius Williams. The 5 kids listed in front of him don't even believe that. As far as him not attacking enough, how can he attack when he's double and triple teamed EVERYTIME he touches the ball. When he does attack he has 2 to 3 defenders hanging all over him and doesn't get a call. Game after game he gets hammered when going to the basket. Every coach screams "GET DARIUS!" Why? Because they know what he's capable of doing. People say he doesn't facilitate enough but how can he facilitate when he's smothered by everyone else's man and the bench. He's been boxed and chased since the 6th grade. Have you ever seen Darius's arms after a game? The kid looks like he's been cat scratched. Go back and look at the Madison Central and Doss games if you wanna see him facilitate though. He's never been 0-20! As a matter of fact, out of 30+ games last year he took 20 plus shot attempts in only 5 or 6 games. One of those games he was 14-21 with 40 points. How many of those 5 listed in front of him are capable of that? Don't worry I'll wait? Not to mention he shot 50% from the field and 40% from long range last season. He can't guard? Everyone I've seen him guard doesn't keep the ball in their hands long. They're awfully quick to give it up. I've never seen anyone of the 5 listed in front of him stop anyone. I can go on all day but I won't. I'll leave you with this. People should start reading the entire book instead of judging it off of one chapter. Darius has the total package. This is the year you'll see him put it all together! Mooremiller said it best, there's not coach in the state that wouldn't start him on they're team. I'm really look forward to this season though! The 11th will be a battle zone!

Preach!!

And I forgot to mention he is the only kid on any of the lists that plays all 5 positions. He is a combo guard playing power forward or center sometimes. Teams better be glad dunbar doesn't have a true big. Then Darius would be able to play his proper position. That would really be scary!

Dontell Brown not considered a big?

Madison Southern needs to get it done this year and win the 44th. I think they will, and while they won't win the 11th I do think they can sneak in a win a game in the Region.

So with Frankfort listed at #10 and Anthony Robinson listed at #10 ... Do you think frankfort could be a team to compete in the 11th ? I know they lost a couple of players but i have heard they have gained a few transfers..... Any thoughts of the possibility ? This is a very deep region IMO.

They haven't gained any transfers. Frankfort has a real nice starting 5 that has played together for a while. The main question with them is depth. They will need to find some guys off the bench to come in and help give the starters a rest. If they can find that they will have a great chance to win the district.

If Darius is so good how come Dunbar has not won a regional tournament game since he has been there?

 

Think the kid is a nice player but no one that knows about basketball cares if you can score 40 points or if you have been box and one since you were in 6th grade. Best thing Darius can do is not worry about rankings, what other people think or how many shots he gets and lead his team to the state tournament.

 

A lot of pressure on the bulldogs this year!!!!

Don't Forget those Pesky Knights either. They always pop out of nowhere and ruin the evening

With the way hollingsworth played last night against a good BS team. He definitely put a silencer on the main statement he made saying he cant go left. he did it all night last night. he would go left and attack ... go left and pull up.... go left and hit a floater ...he did it with no problem all night long. The kid scores whenever he wants on which ever side. I was VERY impressed. The rim looked like a hula hoop to him it seemed like.

Safe to say there will be a shift in the team and player rankings next week.
