The most surprising teams at mid season:
Meridian - 13-4: A coaching change, players quitting, and 3 new starters all spelled slow start. But this team put the only L in Lanier's record in THEIR house, and defeated Provine and perennial powerhouse, Piney Woods, this year. Two of their four losses were to fourth-ranked Forest Hill and top-ranked Starkville High. This team brings it EVERY game!
Clinton - 14-5: Despite losing 3 out of their last 4, some thought this would be a rebuilding year for the Arrows. No true "superstar"; another team who put 5 players out there busting their tails! Their offense is somewhat methodical, but hey, it's successful. They defeated Forest Hill, Meridian, and the much hyped Callaway Chargers (twice), while losing to top ten teams Wingfield and Starkville. At one point they won 7 straight this season.

The 1st Annual Canton Tournament was a success on the court despite the lower than expected attendance. I witnessed 4 great games with 2 outcomes determined in the last minute of play.

NEWS AND HAPPENINGS:
The regular season is over, and district play began last week. Most of the pretenders are gone fishing, but some remain. Don't worry, this is the week where all of the true teams step up as the road to the "Big House", the Mississippi Coliseum, begins tonight.
One of the surprise teams to make it this far is Ridgeland High, who are now in the final four in the 4A tournament! Callaway High won the District 4 tournament defeating the hot Vicksburg High, but lost to Ridgeland in the district playoffs. Callaway is truly the team to watch next year. We here in the SIP knew they would be a powerhouse in the next 2-3 years, but this talented group of freshmen and sophomores, along with top 10 junior Julyesse Noble, has played at a high level since the Christmas break. This is a tribute to Coach Wayne Brent's coaching acumen. This young man has coached at the D1 level at Ole Miss, and his experience is at a higher level than some of the other coaches here, in my opinion. He has taken freshmen, although talented, and sophomores, and gotten them to gel together as one unit and toss the egos aside. The players know their roles (hard to do), and play hard! "Ju" is their leader on the floor, but freshman sensation Deville Smith is their best player. And guess what, he ASKED to come off the bench to help the team. This kid is special. Coaches, if you want a kid who can flat out play, and has no pretenses about himself, start recruiting this guy.
Getting back to Ridgeland High, 6'5 freshman LeAntwan Luckett had a coming out party during the playoffs. He scored the winning basket with less than a minute to go in an exciting matchup against Yazoo City in district tournament play. He finished with 12 points, and played with the poise of a senior. He scored 11 points off the bench against Lanier, while also controlling the boards; and he scored in double figures in the last 4 games for Ridgeland. Next year, it is obvious that Ridgeland will depend on him as one of the go-to guys, as a sophomore!
