Fixed my typo on Johnson is only a Jr.

 

Johnson is the d1 kid. Very fast kid with a lot of potential he is only a Jr. . Sk will be ok. Swanson is still out and when the season starts Sampson and Chambers will be in Most of the time. Ayers needs to shoot more to open the outside shot. He is very hesitant to shoot the short range jumper.

Thanks to everyone who came out for the scrimmages. It was a great day of high school basketball and a great memorial to Kelsey Sorrell.

Good luck to all teams and thanks for supporting Kelsey's scholarship fund. If you missed this year hope to see you next year!!

 

Pictures from the early games, unfortunately can't make the latter ones.

 

Thanks for the pictures!

Thanks for the pictures!

 

New camera, still figuring it out, I have never had luck at SK with photos. But thanks for noticing.

Keep in mind these are just scrimmages. Everybody played including JV players once their games on court two concluded. Some coaches coached like it was the final game of the Region and others sat back and talked with their assistant coaches during the games. Also the football players may or may not have been on the floor for their teams. Having said that it was a good sneak peak and quite an enjoyable day seeing all the guys playing hard.

 

Question:

 

Does Dixie have a big man to replace Pike, if so I did not see one? They pretty much shot from all angles from the perimeter, deadly shooters but hard to survive the ninth without some sort of inside game.

 

I did not see Holmes on the roster of games but their staff was there. I think they will be a force for sure.

 

I was surprised how good Walton was, Dixie started off lighting it up and WV got off the mat and made a true battle out of it. Very impressive.

 

Scott's coach has to the most intense guy I can recall watching. I think they too will be a force and appeared to have some really nice talent.

 

 

As for Coach Listerman in the Holmes shirt, I meant no disrespect and I know everyone knows I have been a big fan of his program for a long time. It just put the exclamation point on his departure for me. If anyone is bashing him I am unaware of that and as he walked through the SK gym every coach and assistant coach was quick to make a point to shake his hand and speak to him. I think his record of representing the Ninth and Statewide basketball speaks for itself.

Hey PaNDA, please don't think that I was putting you in that catetory. I agree, it's like seeing your girlfriend with another guy. But people actaully came up to me and said Listerman came into the gym with all of his Holmes gear on and said it meaning, he should not have. Just remember everyone, he would have rather been in Colonel Blue yesterday.

SK only has a couple of big guys but during warm ups they was showing they can dunk at least 5 players where dunking pretty impressive.
