Humbolts 09'

The look of Humbolts Girls Basketball will change for the 2009 season. We will be a Junior varsity level team as most the players are Freshman.
Another change that will take place will be all the players will be from Eureka. In the past we have had players from different school districts.
The reason for the change is other programs have developed within the players area. It makes some sense to do this. It is illegal for school coaches to determine where someone plays during extra curricular activities. I'm not saying that is going happen. But I have witnessed it. I don't believe a player at this young age should experience the emotion of having to make this choice.
Mack has had an AAU program running for a few years. Dusty at Arcata has some good ideas to create a good program. My good friend Scott Meredith is now in Fortuna and he will continue with a solid group. South Fork looks interested. Crescent City I'm not sure, they go in and out. It's fun to go up there and scrimmage.
I'm looking forward to coaching this new team. We will participate in a local league and enter five tournaments.
It has been 5 years since having a 14u & 15u squad. The Humbolts were successful at this age group then and will be again.
