Valley has several good players. Not great individually but mesh well together. They've done well in alot of tournaments.

Collins from Webster. Lower could be really good too.

West has several good players. Seems like this group took basketball alot more serious than most West groups. I was told they placed in and won a couple AAU tournaments and did well against some of the better 8th grade teams at Jackson this summer.

Portsmouth, Wheelersburg, etc. Some of the "basketball" schools are kinda down at this level.

He's really going to have to work on his game to remain a force. It also affects the players around him. A lot of those guards don't know how to make proper post entries. They just lob it up to the big fella and he gets it. When the other kids around him grow, they won't be able to do that

He's really athletic for his size. He will be a good high school player. But you're right he needs to play out on the floor if he has aspersions of college.

He needs to work on his ballhandling. You don't know if he's going to grow anymore or not. He could be a Center now and a wing by the time high school comes. You just never know. But he's a great kid and works hard

That's on Webster junior high staff to get him out of the post some and work on his handle. Probably hurts the team but who cares bout junior high records anyways? Hate seeing bigs in biddy ball/junior high relegated to post full time. When they don't grow anymore, they are nothing more than bench depth when they get to high school.

Run motion offense and make every kid get experience handling ball away from the paint.*
