I wouldn't quiet classify Shay as the leader last year. Giles County didn't have a true leader; therefore, they were sitting at home while Southside and Bolivar duked it out for the Gold Ball. I love watching these guys play ball, but w/out a true leader...the outcome could very well be the same this year.
How did Smith do during AAU ball. I haven't heard much about him since I moved from Giles County last year.
