Definitely pulling for Renner to get the huge W in late February. A Ballard-Trinity final would be a wild game in an absolutely packed house at Valley.

2010-2011 Eastern did it also

Jason Burns would be a great candidate. Not sure he would go to a place that doesn't support their coaches like Spencer does. Plus Coach Couch was his boy from Scottsburg and likely gave him the heads up on Shelby.

Hearing there has been a hire made that could shake up the 8th

And there was no way Scotty Hopson would win the award that year. He only played on one end of the floor, regularly stared down opposing coaches when he scored a bucket, often was a loose cannon on the court and chose to go to UT. Plus his team didn't win big enough. He could have been ranked #1 in the country and the award would have went to the UK kid who won a state title and was a class act.

Apollo lost most of their team to prep schools this year. Rondo left Eastern. OJ Mayo and Billy Walker left Rose Hill. There have been quite a few others that I am missing and the number will continue to grow as more and more of these basketball prep schools are becoming popular.

I know they lost 3 senior starters but had a lot of juniors that saw minutes last year. Once their football players are back to full strength they should be fun to watch with those explosive athletes they had in the backfield. Coach Burns will surely have them playing hard. Tough district with Shelby Collins and Anderson. I'm sure the Bears will be hungry to make it back to Henry County.
