2001. That's hard to believe

I'm having a hard time recalling a basketball ball coach being fired. Tom Russell?

Exactly...

Hot seat? At Highlands? Funny

Middle school teams are usually pretty good at Highlands. We know not to put much stock in that. Right?

Pretty much why I don't participate anymore.

Put a returner back there.

They've been ranked as high as number 1 in preseason polls, but fell short. A lot can happen during season. I'm not sure when Highlands has emerged from the 9th, but I think it's been a long time.

I don't put much stock in preseason ratings. Highlands has been rated highly in the past...

This is a little more in line with how I thought these threads would go. Unfortunately...

I agree. Referencing an earlier post. I would have a bigger issue with the varsity squad coming out of half-time in jeans and sweat shirts

In bball forum i always wondered how the Highlands football threads would go when the program struggled. Not exactly what I expected. Funny everyone is still hung up on the running up the score thing from long ago.

Dirk Minniefield deserve a mention?

Those guys were special athletes that don't come along very often.

No. But, the young guys get time. Been done before.

Yep. Even though I didn't see the floor, i got to be part of some very memorable moments

Funny. I think he's confused. I really wasn't very good. I was pretty good at pulling the chairs out on the court for timeouts.

I'll take average. Thanks!

I played back in the day. I don't remember anyone blowing us out. Especially by 60

If there are sophomores that are good, they should have been playing.

Yep.

The basketball ball guys need to be identified and developed. When my kids where there. The middle school teams were always good. But a huge majority were football players. By the time they got to high school, the non footballers sick of being overlooked moved on. So, sacrifice some success at the middle school level to DEVELOP talent for high school.

Until they find a guy that dismisses the football players. Early. They won't have the right guy

Well, they're all football parents, so
