Here is what people thought of South Laurel to start the year.

Some of us were wrong about South, but right about North.

Hats off to South Laurel from their student managers to their players and especially their outstanding coaching staff for a job very well done!!! I didnt think they would win this region all the way up to the overtime period Tuesday night and I was wrong obviously. They officially have a stranglehold on the 13th region to say the least. Steve Wright probably could be a very good coach at the next level if he wanted to make that jump. I think he is probably the best coach in the mountains and one of the very best in the state.

The young kids will have to step up. St. John, Gilbert, Jones and Borkman form a nice nucleous. The Watkins kid will contribute. The Sizemore kid was MVP in the all star game at the 5 Star camp in Pittsburgh this summer. He was also voted the biggest sleeper at the Blue Chip camp in Georgetown and won several of the shooting contests at that camp. He is a 6'2" kid with skills who can run all day. He recently won the Chicken Festival 5k. This kid would start at probably almost every team in the 13th. The Cards lost some kids but they will still be a hard win for anybody.

 

South, had Zack Smith, a junior to be make the NCAA 5 star, all star team. Blake Sanders, a 7th grader made the 5 star freshman, all star team. He ran PG for Sizemore's all star team. South, has a bright future because their 9th and 7th grade team are loaded. Their a few 8th players that will make a difference in the future as well.:thumb:
