Did Keith graduate from Pound or was he a Junior?

The KTN still has last year's stuff up (like the rosters). Not entirely accurate of course or all there, but a little helpful.

Devin and Bud did graduate. But, Appy should have Forrest, his brother Mason, Josh Allen, and Tyler Hall back as well as the transfer. I don't think they'll have a lot of depth, but they should have a good starting team. Both Forrest and Mason are good players. I think Josh and Tyler both started for Appy last year.

In the regular season last year, Appy had some good games, but was not the top team going into the tournament. Then, they seemed to catch fire and beat Powell Valley and Norton soundly.

I forgot about Mason and the younger Allen. Looks like they could be solid, but as others said hardly no depth. Thatll kill you when playing a fast team like JIB and PV.

Andrew Adkins is back for Coeburn. After ACL surgery his is doing very well. With 1600 points I can imagine we should look for 2000 from him early in the season. I understand with Pate, Adkins and a few others they will be good

Yeah guys, Clintwood will not be much at all this year. They cannot get enough guys out to have an open gym. Barely enough to play two on two. No one cares about b-ball and it shows. I just hope teams keep it under thirty out of respect. They have
No height or anyone to handle the ball,
Who is the head coach over there and can't he motivate any kids to come out at all or does he or the school care at all? Sad! Sad!
I hope they can at least double the wins over there this year.

Keith was a junior last season. Senior this season. Pound had only 2 seniors last year and they played very few minutes.

I could be mistaken but think they're only returning four kids from last year. Laningham, who saw a bit of playing time last year as a Jr, shot up from about 6' to about 6'4". He played a lot of guard in JV so idk how that height change will affect his coordination. Also, the Copeland kid, he's a Sophomore I believe, should be a pretty solid player.

I don't think Lee ever gets much talk on here, but I figured I'd throw a little out there.

Lee could be a bit of a dark horse in the CMD. Back a couple of years ago, they had a good team that beat both Twin Springs and Gate City in the holiday tournament.

I really don't know what to expect from the other CMD teams. I think Gate City will be still be playing some good ball but not on the level they've been the last couple of years.
