Not a bad idea there hoop20. I think the reason that all county kids can play for the middle school in other sports such as baseball, football etc. is because they don't offer these programs. There has been some good basketball talent come from county schools that have been able to do well @ the high school and some have fell by the way side for some reason. There has also been some pretty good basketball coaches in the county schools over the years, but some that didn't do a good job teaching fundamentals as thorough97 posted. However, I have seen several middle school teams over the years do very well and win the CTC Championship and win alot of games as freshmen and play pretty much the same teams in high school like Tullahoma, Franklin Co. and Sparta and lose by a bunch. Don't know the answer, but I sure hope we can figure this thing out.
Congrats to the Pioneers and coaches on the win last night in the tourney and good luck tonight against CPA!
