The season begins…

Tonight I’ll be heading to Lane to watch Brooks and Zion-Benton…

Neither team is ranked, but it will be fun to watch a Chris Head coached team again. I’m not sure if Brooks has any talent, but I’m sure Head will find a way to make them competitive. Zion-Benton has Marcus Yarbrough, a 6-7 sophomore. I haven’t seen him play yet, but most recruiting analysts say he’s a top 20 player in the 2009 class, so I’m sure he’s worth a look.
