Pics from yesterdays Kanawha County Middle School Championship. While these young men didn't leave with a third straight title, they have achieved more than most have in a career, in just 3 short seasons. 2-1 in Championship games, 3 years and only 2 losses, with a winning streak over 40 games. These are better numbers than nearly all the teams you would consider a "Dynasty", I don't care what sport you watch.
And they did it all the right way, with coaches that support, encourage and love them. With homegrown talent. With players being patient and developing until they got their shot and relishing their support roles even when it was hard. These guys are super impressive. And gonna be fun to watch in the years to come at the HS level (who by the way is currently #2 in the state AA rankings).
Congrats on all that you all have accomplished! Keep your heads up! Keep swinging!
