IMO- the adminstration never supported the Fball program much. Ms has lost talent to MC, Rock to name a few in past years. I think the difference is the coaching staff Ms has right now. Bias- I have a connection to the staff but even w/o that they are the differ. The kids love them bc they care about them other then just Fball. Talking to several parents they (coaches) take a genuine interest in the players. I know from my personal exp: I played harder and put more effort when I knew my coaches cared for me. IMO and that of several others the last several staffs at Ms didn't have that. I know for summer works they have had over 50 kids at every workout. Has MS ever had 50 kids finish the season; other then last year? No. It's a differ attitude there now. Wish them the best.

Would love to see MS turn the corner. With Madison Central being such a basketball-first type of school I think there is a ton of potential for Southern to be a hot bed if the right staff is put in place, including seeing a lot of kids choose to attend Southern after 8th Grade. Just look at what Garrard County is doing now that they have a good HC in place, and IMO they don't have nearly the talent pool Southern has to work with.
