Kirk Haston played pro for a few years. 

That 97 Perry county team was large. Haston was 6'8 and I remember 2 other guys about 6'6. They dominated that tournament.

Best Class A team ever in Tennessee and at least a Top 10 team of all time in any class in my MHO. No team has ever dominated the tournament like they did.

I would be very surprised to see Bruce coach again. Like so many "old school" coaches his style just isn't accepted at very many places. I know he wasn't successful at Sparta primarily because he was such a hard nosed coach and his regimented style wasn't popular with the kids. I'm wondering about his son? What grade? Is he a strong D1 prospect? Interested to keep up with him.

There was a few reasons he wasn’t successful in Sparta while the coach not just ‘style’ of coaching, but that ‘style’ won at a high % for a long time. 

His son is very talented player, just finished his sophomore year averaged close to 20 ppg and can really get off the floor at about 6’4-5. Has a chance to be very good.

If his son were willing, he could be a difference maker in district 8AAA. From what I've seen, he would be the best player in 8AAA the day he stepped foot in the gym. He is quite a player and Dad is quite a coach. I will never know what Moore County was thinking, but everybody has their reasons. This would be a coup for Tullahoma, but agree, Slatton isn't going to miss his son playing the next 2 years. It's gonna be really fun for Dad watching the kid play.

    • QUICK UPDATE -  First, I see a lot of wrestling names that I recognize on that GoFundMe.  THANK YOU so much for helping this family.   After the long surgery on Sunday morning to repair his neck, Jacob suffered a collapsed lung.  Sometimes this happens after long surgeries.  They had to put him on a ventilator to get his breathing back on track.  He came off the vent on Monday morning and they put a BIPAP on him to help control his breathing.  As of today, Thursday, the BIPAP came off and he is breathing well on his own.  He is working towards drinking a glass of water and hopefully eating some solid food at some point in the near future. Jacob can "feel" when someone touches his legs, but there is still no movement.  His parents are beginning to prepare for him to be moved to the Shepherd Center in the next few days.  He will be there in Atlanta for 30-45 days.  Im sure he will receive excellent treatment. Please continue to pray for healing for him and if you are so moved, please contribute to the gofundme link above to help in any way you can.  The go fund me is doing well, but this is going to be a very long road for these guys Im afraid.. Thanks again! Sells
