Strange times. Never thought I’d see the day a Science Hill basketball team is as bad as they are.

I personally don’t think the inner City Kids are interested. Maybe a little bit more in football. But not basketball for some reason. Maybe the opportunities to just hang out with friends. Play a plethora of video games etc. Maybe some are just interested in making a little $ with a part time job. I don’t have the answer. But i Do Know that SH has Jr an Sr level athletes walking the halls who could make the Hill a tough opponent as usual. Apparently it’s trickled into the Middle Schools as Well. They need to hire a Coach who can “change the culture” from grade school up through Middle. 
Otherwise SH is going to continue to see these results for the not so seeable future I fear.

The Question is WHY. It’s the only inner City school in JC. You cannot tell me they don’t have the athletes. They Always have great athletes. And lots of them since Spurrier’s time there. Heck their freshman team usually is better than a lot of 1A and 2A complete teams. I’m totally shocked. Especially in Basketball.

Why does ETSU's coach's kid go to DB instead of the hill kinda a slap in the face to the JC

This has already been answered in another thread.  The Hill didn't have a coach in place back in the offseason when Oliver was looking for a place to play, so he chose D-B.

I’m fairly certain his younger son goes to university middle and is pretty talented as well.  

This is accurate as well from my understanding.  The younger brother is in the Johnson City school system and is expected to play for the Hill.

I think he would be better off coming over to Kingsport. I'm not sure if the head coach at SH is going to work out.

The younger Oliver kid will be at Science Hill next year. 

Science Hill seems to be playing most opponents close for the majority of their games and then opponents are pulling away in the final few min to win. Toppers are young and they don’t have much size. They lost their top 3-4 scorers from last years team. Everyone who has close connections to the program knew this year was going to be rough. Higgins knew it was going to be difficult.

What happened to the previous basketball coach at Science Hill?

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
