Not everyone is “cut” out for the cookie that is high school basketball. Am I? Well who knows? But at an athletic 6 foot 2, I think i can survive the intense workouts; and show others the sometimes biased process of climbing the ranks.
Does anyone really know (or care), what the coaches do before the official basketball season starts Oct. 29th in Hillsborough County, Fl?
Similar to High School Musical 2, fried green beens, and that car called the Scion; high school basketball in the state of Florida, Hillsborough County ESPECIALLY, just doesn’t get the respect it deserves.
Sure, Hillsborough County is known for producing the likes of: Gary Sheffield, “Sweet” Lou Pinella, Dwight “Doc” Gooden, Daryl Strawberry, and Carl Everret (a personal favorite of mine). But does that mean that basketball in Hillsborough County should be ignored like ESPN DEPORTES?
This blog is dedicated, if you will, to high school basketball and sports in general; to the life of a high schooler trying to persue a career in journalism; and my idol Ben Affleck. Here will be information on what goes on around and behind the scenes of sports.
And as far as people saying that Florida is a football state, and a baseball state, and a soccer state, and a swimming state; I think basketball is just about to skyrocket on the charts. What do you think?
Well worded like a bad Britany Spears song; that’s for you to decide baby.
