Where have all the Bulldawgs gone? A basketball inquiry.

Thursday night came and went and, yet again, I was on the AHSAA high school basketball scene--Vincent Yellow Jackets v. Montevallo Bulldogs. Yes, I've been busy.

Here is what I know and would like to know:

• It was a very sparse crowd with not many folks in attendance
• I didn't partake in sour straws that night.
• It was the quickest basketball game I think I have every been to. It started early (7:15'ish) and I was en route to the casa at 8:30. Nascar fast game.
• When I look back and think of the Montevallo Bulldog teams of old, I remember high flying, athletic, shoot the lights out teams--every year. I do not understand what has happened? In my opinion, Montevallo has always had athletes and good basketball teams. Maybe it's just a down time right now, every team goes through those. I have no concern that they will resurge on the hardwood in the near future. I remember when I was in high school at Shelby Co., you'd have to get to that gym hours before the varsity games just to get a seat. At times, you were lucky to get a spot where you could stand and see the game. Man, there were some $$ games there!

Here is my story on the game: Vincent Swarming Into The Post Season

All the best,
