Monday night, Unaka High School Junior Varsity played Science Hill in a great game. I noticed that the two junior coaches from Hunter Elementary used the majority of players that attended Hunter Elementary School and most of the bench warmers were from Unaka Elementary. What kind of signal is this sending to the creekers? If you want to play basketball at the high school level, you MUST attend Hunter Elementary School. Also, this was a junior varsity game and the majority of players were freshmen. Are we just going to forget the seniors and juniors on the varsity? Then forget the sophomores on the junior varsity and just put all of our eggs in a basket with the up and coming freshmen? (Unless you are from Unaka Elementary!) I guess since we are building a new program, we need to take all the talent Hunter can give us and just forget anyone coming from any other school. (Keenburg included) I'll admit, there were some good players on the floor, but there were good players on the bench as well. For every good thing done by a couple players, they did two bad ones, but they still played. I'm guessing because they were from Hunter Elementary School. I've noticed that Unaka has changed in the last couple of years. My opinion, is it's not been for the better. Looking at the varsity, most players are from Hunter Elementary School. I guess in four years, you CAN run all the players from Unaka Elementary out. Why let them try out? Why even have a basketball program at Unaka Elementary School? I actually thought that the playing field was even and coaches took what talent they had and made it better, but I guess that only counts if you come from Hunter. Unaka players must just be practice fodder. How nice that they can serve a purpose. There's a divide in the ranks of the program at Unaka High School. This will only poison anything and everything. I guess the basketball court is just as political as getting a job in carter county. I'll be looking to see just how far Hunter can take us and just how long it will take to run all the Unaka Elementary players off. Great job guys!!
