Shelby Valley's Elisha Justice Breaks Kentucky's Career Steals Record

[King James]

Tonight vs. East Ridge Elisha Justice broke the state's career steals record. Elisha has had an outstanding career, and has always played on both ends of the floor. Congratulations to a EJ on a huge accomplishment...

Congrats to Elisha, and it doesn't surprise me that this thread has 0 replies considering this is an East KY player and not a NKY player.

Congrats to Mr. Justice in all he has done over his time at Shelby Valley. I hope he brings home two more awards back to the mountains (Mr. Basketball and the state title). I have only seen him play maybe two or three times, but he is super quick on both ends of the floor.

Congrats to him. I loved watching him at the State Tourney last year. He has to be one of the top players in the state.

Great accomplishment for an outstanding player and a solid young man. Congratulations!
