Copley and Metzler are gonna be huge for Valley.

Didn’t catch the PG name on SW 8th but he’s excellent and could possibly make the end of the Varsity bench next season. Also seen big time hustle out of Perkins.

Lintz and Bolin from Northwest plays travel ball with Copley and Metzler.
The 8th grade pg from Webster is Brock Cambell he transferred from Minford.

Junior high studs in basketball often either choose football or don’t grow much. A lot of factors

No doubt. Junior high guards are a lot easier to project out as opposed to the bigs.

It wishful thinking, but I’d like to see more development of players at junior high level as opposed to selling out to win. See a lot of local junior high teams playing nothing but zone defense and on offense parking the 6’0” kid in the post who’ll still be 6’0” when he a senior.*

Agreed. Two very nice players that will form one of the best backcourts in the area by their sophomore year. Along with Roberts from SW, I see Haggy as one of the highest-ceiling 7th graders around here.*

Haggy is one of the best around, could play jv for Western right now and I think coach Williams would agree
