You know it wasn't that long ago when the Paoli Boys Basketball Program was the lead when it came to Psoli Sports but now with the recent success of the Football team and Girls Basketball Teams it seems that the Boys Basketball has just floated by under the radar when not so long ago when any other sport was doin good so was the Boys Basketball program...not to take nothin away from those other two programs because I like that they are being successful...but too me when it comes the day that the boys basketball team team is excited about the chances of a 13-7 season and not setting the goals of a sectional chamnpionship (or in days past state championship) you know the program is at a low whats the problem?...I really don't know I just don't think that there hasn't been emphasis put on the tradition and what it means to be a Rams Basketball player...they lost what those god Paoli teams had play hard until the very and give it all you have to hopefully when every game you can it starts with whats underneath the Varsity progarm and the Junior Varsity is a mess and it's a shame becuase when you out on the Paoli jersey that represents tradition and championships of the past you should be proud to where that uniform and be apart of what those guys set and blaze a trail of your own...how you fix the problem is you have to take the program and who wnats to re-build what was there at one time and you can't have a Junior Varsity team that's piss poor in management you have to build the foundation of success and by that is get someone in here that can teach the toughness the all out effort the undertsanding of tradition that once was a Paoli Pride thing...there is no reason that the Boys Basketball prgram can't get a great number of turnout like the Football team did this past year...youjust have to turn it around and start with change...

The only reason this program is struggling now is because the players weren't developed during the previous head coach's tenure. Also, the last 2 years, the former jv coach who was supposed to take over the program, set back and did nothing to develop the players for the future. Logan Laswell is a great player but he has to have a little help from anyone else. 13-7 would be a good record for this group of kids. Other than Laswell, who could start for the other teams we have played? As far as the jv team goes, this group of kids high mark for wins is 2. They have won 5 and are way better now than they were at the beginning of the year. They finally have a coach who is working with them and is trying to develop the program for the future. Piss poor management? That statement shows your ignorance. For being a "superfan" you sure don't seem to know what is going on inside the program and who is getting all of the work done. Scott Combs, Joe Sibbitt, and Evan Seacat aren't walking through the door, get over it and support the program for what it is as it builds for the future with a strong 8th grade class and improving sophomore class.
