The ironic part is, Augusta has been using Bracken County’s gym this summer while their gym floor is being renovated.  So, Augusta’s boys basketball team is practicing in Bracken’s gym, while Bracken’s boys are not.  

Weird.

At least Augusta and Bracken are getting along well.  Not many schools would let their rival practice in their gym for free.

I think there is more cooperation among schools than some people realize but either way I am glad to see it too.

I was thinking Augusta was breaking ground on a new gym.

Apparently delayed a year.  $1 million or so over budget.  Doubt it happens.

It will be easy to get out of a contract when you can’t field a varsity team.

Hopefully it won’t come to that.

Bracken will be fine, pretty sure Bracken County is bigger than the Reed trio. LOL

Agreed.  Not to throw shade at all on my friends at the bottom of the hill, but if St. Patrick's can find ten or twelve  guys to play, it shouldn't be a problem for the Bears.

There were 3 boys at summer workouts. That’s not providing a lot of hope.

Here’s something my better half says at least a couple of times per day. 
 

“That ain’t good.”

Give it time. They get a new coach hired the kids will come back. When you have a father as coach and his kids take 57% of the shots and three kids take 76% of them it tends to sour the other kids. 

Now that the Bears have a new AD in place (Congrats to former Volleyball Coach and Middle School AD Wade Smith), the search should start moving in a positive direction.
