Landon Slone - Paintsville '07-'08.

All these Valley threads are getting a bit ridiculous. I'm a big fan of Shelby Valley and Elisha Justice, but the boys basketball forum is like Q95-FM, they play the same tunes over and over again until you are simply burnout on a song. So please, change the record.

I definately agree with both statements. Landon was good enough to be recruited by several schools and plays at UK. So how can anyone question he ability as a great H.S. player. Some say he couldn't gaurd EJ but I also don't think EJ could stop Landon. I watched him as a freshman score 52 (I think that was the total) against SV his freshman year and almost pull the upset single handed.

And I too appreciate what great teams the mountains can produce and love to see the mountains represented well at state and will follow SV all the way to the Saturday evening game at Rupp should they make it. However, a few SV fans build this team up to unbelievable standards and keep going on and on. I mean isn't it enough that pretty much every single person on BGR thinks Valley is one of the best teams to come from the mountains and they are certainly the best team in this region and one of the best in the state. These are the people that cause other area fans to not want to support Valley or to see them do as well. Myself, I try to look over them but come on enough is enough. Just sit back and enjoy the ride, we all know they are a very special team.
