A ranking in the 7th grade is about as useless as a screen door on a submarine. The only thing those lists are good for is screwing up a kid's head. The last thing you want as a parent or a coach is for a kid to think he "has arrived" in middle school. All it does is put a bunch of sharks in the water to start harrassing these kids and get them thinking about all the wrong things.

these players have put in the work to be ranked with others their age.  The challenge becomes when the 6ft, 7th grader does not grow another inch.  Now as a high school player, they go from being the tallest and most talented on the court to being just another good player.

 

this is why any basketball player should work on ball handling and mid-range shooting more than working on post moves or 3-pt shooting.  the same saying goes today as it was years ago....  15ft jumper is worth 15 million dollars

      Where does DCA go?

      Well, your Big Western Hunt better turn up some Zebras to come graze on the Stones to make the jungle gametime ready again and make sure the plumber bros. still will come service the facilities at the Mecca. I hope your weekend is Fowl. Tell Rip hello from the Five Oh. Maybe the Gravedigger will catch a ride with Alphaniner on a flyover soon to BNA.

      It’s not hearsay, just patently false. As one of those young coaches he apparently “ran off”, coach never once ridiculed or degraded anyone. Sure he challenged kids and coached them very hard,  but we have different definitions of you call that degrading. Coach Hammontree changed my life when he gave me the chance to work for him. I learned more about being a man and caring for the people around me in 4 years working for him than I did in 20 years of my life. No one sacrificed more than he did. I left Heritage because I felt there would never be the support necessary to help the program succeed. I’m tired of hearing people drag others down especially those they truly don’t know. Coach has moved on and a new coach is there. Just let the man live and root for the team.

      Waiting on the Great One.   White Horse and Rip have a big weekend in the woods, and the Sheriff is working the overtime here.      Turkey season awaits…..Big Gobblers everywhere.
