I do not know the answer to your question but urge you to be careful as to the standard you set for the team.

 

You cannot compare past records. In the past Hampton was class A and now they are AA. There is a difference. Also, remember the conference is a tough one.

 

The difference in conferences can be quit large. At Volunteer we were in the conference under its old alignment. Had the make-up of the conference not been changed (lost Chucky Doak, West Greene & South Greene and added Hampton, Central & Elizabethton) we would have won the conference championship last year and would probably win it this year. But right now we are looking at a very tough row to hoe if we are going to win the conference with Elizabethton and Central in the conference now (Johnson County was it under the old make-up). Last year Hampton was strong enough to make a difference.

 

If Hampton was in a conference with the old make-up they would be competitive this year. All of this is to say that you can have as good a team as ever but if you are competeing aginst different teams the records may not be near the same. It will happen. Just give it time.

HAMPTON HAS PLAYED EVERY TEAM CLOSE THIS YEAR WITH THE EXCEPTION OF TWO GAMES. THIS TEAM HAS TO STOP DOING THE LITTLE THINGS THAT IS COSTING THEM GAMES. TURNOVERS, MISSED FOUL SHOTS, KEY REBOUNDS,AND LAYUPS AT KEY TIMES HAVE TURNED WINS INTO LOSSES. HAMPTON'S RECORD DOEN'T REFLECT THE TEAM THAT COULD STEP FORWARD BY THE END OF THE SEASON.

COACH HAZELWOOD IS WORKING HARD. HIS YOUNG PLAYERS ARE UP AND DOWN WHICH CAN BE EXPECTED. THE REST OF THE DISTRICT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF TWO OR THREE TEAMS ARE IN THE SAME SHAPE AS HAMPTON. SO HANG IN THERE ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN THIS YEAR
