If they were that great they would've won the Region.
After watching the NBA draft last night and seeing the guy from Italy get first pick, I made a pretty interesting observation this morning.. I wanted to find out some information about Andrea Bargnani the #1 pick and I was rather surprised at what I found. He along with 8 other draft picks from last night actually came from the same league that Twin Springs' exchange student Pance Kecev came from. 9 total draft picks from last night played for the U18 European Championship Men division at some point during the last 5 years and one actually played the same year as Pance. Below are the links to the draft picks on the FIBA website.

I played in the same league as a top 10 NFL draft pick and for some reason I don't think that made me a better football player.
GC loses one game and everyone hears about it for months...
That dude is from Castlewood. Posted the same thing over on the CD forum.

i really don't have an opinion on this but, if the kid from twin springs played professionally in Europe, isn't this a conflict of interest with the VHSL ?
