OH, OH, I've got it!!

 

I'll rank them according to their stats (where available) - feel free to comment.

 

1) "Lefty" Jones - averaged 22 points a game, until he got to the fifth grade. His sixth grade coach was a moron and wouldn't start him - career fizzled after that.

2) "Lefty" Johnson - led the conference in assists three straight years, averaging 0.03 assists per game (they don't pass much in our neck of the woods).

3) "One Thumb" Bronson - born a natural lefty, he was strictly right handed - but only because of the accident while trying to clear a jam out of the combine on the farm. Nice outside set shot, but never could go to his left with any real authority. Some say the sky was the limit, if only they had kept some dry ice around the house.

4) "Lefty" Smith - best rebounding guard to EVER come through these parts. Smith was a warrior under the boards, and a true master of the "stand on the other guy's foot" move. He didn't really even jump all that well, but oddly, neither did his opponent.

5) "Lefty" Anderson - no real talent for the game, but he was a good guy to have on the bench. He could imitate the coach doing his halftime speech, and keep you in stitches throughout the game. Come to think of it, I'm not sure he ever got in a game - hence, the lack of stats.

 

You can argue about how to rank 'em, but these are definitely the cream of the crop from our area. I doubt that anyone would have the nerve to tell any one of their Mom's that they shouldn't be here (at least, not face to face).

I hope you aren't laughing at the boys - they worked hard to perfect their games!

Wait a minute, there's no way that lefty Johnson should be on the list, those weren't actual passes ,he was kicking them with his good foot!!

A technicality. Many are unaware that Johnson also led our conference in scoring in soccer his junior year. Then again, Mudflats was the only school to field a team until two years after he graduated.

Your right ,but he also chose to donate his senior year solely to the swim team...he recieved a full scholly to FSU , only to have it taken away after a bad moeped wreck that left him with only one arm.....they said he could still swim very fast but that he keep swimming in circles.....

FSU? Is that the Flatgap School for Underachievers? I thought so.

I would have to go with Tim Honaker of Pikeville ....HAHAHA...I found one!!!

That's it! He's on the list!

I'm still confused. How can a player have a 20' radius and be under 6' tall????

 

He could slam dunk from the top of the key!

That's a good question, HHSDad. Maybe Gametime could clear that up for us.

 

I was thinking that I might be reading the question all wrong - maybe he's asking for two guards with five left hands that live within a six foot, twenty mile radius of the house. Now, I'll have to redraw the radius circle on the map, and see how many more schools that will include, but to be honest, the tough part is going to be finding two guys that have five left hands. Of course, in Eastern Kentucky, with all of the inbreeding, it is possible that we might have a considerable selection to choose from!

 

I've got my scouts out right now, watching some 7 and Under leagues, looking for just such a coaching bonanza. I'll keep you posted.
