[scotisaac]

Offical word is Senior guard Dakota Garrett has transfered to Waverly, Garrett currently sits at 800 points. Give or take a few.

IS HE ANY GOOD

[smurray]

I am told he will have to sit the first half of the basketball season (11 games).

[bengalfan76]

Why?

[smurray]

Why did he come to Waverly or why does he have to sit?
If you're asking why does he have to sit the first half it's because he transferred after school started.

[rockbiter]

It's a shame for Western's new coach. He gets hit below the belt before the season even begins.

[sparky]

western is a another tough place to coach.

With what Western has returning, I think they will be fine. From what I saw last year, offense was not the problem. If this team learns to play some defense and play hard I think they will win their fair share of games this year.

They will be fine. And your right Tigerfan88. They will learn to play some defense. If you watched his JV squad last year, they werent that talented, but Coach Miller made them play aggressively on d. Won them alot of games. These kids have to buy in though.

[GOINDIANS]

Addition by subtraction. Western will be a lot better off. They will have kids who will actually listen and play defense.

[doubleplay]

Addition by subtraction sometimes is true. It seems like if you are subtracting an 800 point scorer that it would be subtraction by subtraction to me.

I wish the best for Dakota . He will struggle some at the beginning because Waverly plays hard nose "D" and playing for Jordan "D" was a after thought ! But he is a smart kid with a good shot and can cause a zone defense problems.
