Basketball season is well underway, and I have been fortunate enough to see most of the better teams in the area so far. That includes Westside, Central, Stratford, Tattnall Square, Southwest, and lets add Warner Robins to the crowd. I am sure I will see FPD, Rutland,Northeast, and Mount de Sales soon, maybe even tomorrow night if anyone is playing.
Now I know its early, but as usual the area seems to have some quality basketball teams. Westside has been able to lose a 6'11 guy and be better, I believe, because Khavon Moore, the best player in Macon and maybe the state, needs his room in the paint. He is a point guard but really plays every position on the floor. He is a major D1 guy and I believe he is visiting Florida this weekend.
Speaking of college interest, my question is where is it in this city? Sure Khavon is getting his because of all his AAU basketball but where is the rest. Central has Antarius McCoy, who may not me a D1 guy but he is definitely a college basketball player. His coach Andre Taylor agrees. I don't know if I have been more impressed with a kid that him. He has been a three shooter his entire career, but has turned into much more this year. He gets to the paint, guards the other teams best player, and is relied on to be the leader of a very good Central basketball team.
Stratford also seems to have a pretty good basketball team. I have not met the coach as of yet but I am sure that is coming soon. Nate Brooks leads the way for the Eagles, and he is a physical specimen, but I am hearing he has very few college choices right now. Cmon people, this is a college athlete, no doubt about it. Hopefully the interest will come later.
Tattnall has six seniors and knocked of Wilkinson County on Tuesday, which was one of the Trojans biggest wins in many years. Lets not forget that Wilkinson win state last year. I have seen Tattnall play three times this year , and were somewhat unimpressive for some of that time, but when Slaughter, Marshall, and big Sean get it going , they are pretty good. I expect noise in the region this year.
Warner Robins is by far the best team I have seen this year and you owe it to yourself to see Nelson Phillips at least once.
I must wrap up my fantasy football season by giving kudos out. I had loads of news people in the league, and after losing his first four games of the season Wes Blankenship ran the table and then beat ME in the super bowl to claim his first Papa Johns Championship trophy. I am still upset about losing to a former Wmaz guy.
I did not have to worry about my other news guys as Tucker Sargent, Luke Hetrick, Mason Prince and Brad Harrison captured participation trophies,
Let me know when your team plays and I will review them quickly
