I can't.
In The Locker Room, we've maintained since last summer that this Zion-Benton High team was the best prep basketball team we've had in this county in 20 years.
Come next Saturday night, around 10:30 p.m., there will no longer be any doubt.
The Bees can play it any way you want -- fast, slow, wide-open, tight -- and will beat you at YOUR own game.
A tip of the Zee-Bee cap to the huge Zion contingent that helped pack the place at Barrington on Friday night.
And remember this: The best is yet to come!
Yes, ". . . the best is yet to come" not only for the rest of this season, but for seasons to come. Steward, junior; Smith, sophomore; Yarbrough, junior; Worthington, freshman. We in Zee-Bee land have a boatload to look forward to.
While talent wise I dont think anyone can match them, especially since Farragut and Whitney Young are gone now, I do wonder about their severe lack of free throw shooting. It has bitten other teams in the tourney before. Kloth, for God sakes, time to make them shoot some free throws!
