PARSONS
TO SIGN WITH EASTERN KENTUCKY
6Õ3
shooting guard and pitcher extraordinaire Ryan Parsons has signed to continue
his basketball career at Eastern Kentucky. Currently, the ace of the
Morgantown High regional finalist baseball team, has been working out in the
Clyde gym when we caught up with him. ÒI was offered scholarships at lower
division schools, but the academic structure is a lot better at EKU and I am
excited to be a part of a Division I program. It was too great of an
opportunity to pass up. Everyone made me feel welcome on my visit,Ó said
Parsons. Ryan will Òwalk onÓ in the fall and will be remembered for his
dedication and leadership to the Mohigan basketball program. He averaged
double figure points and shot over 40% from three point range on this yearÕs
19-5 and state quarterfinals team. ÒWe are very proud of Ryan and his
commitment, said Coach Hoffman. ÒHe will make us all proud. Now he needs to
go on and win a state championship for our baseball team.Ó FORMER

RED AND BLUE
LEAGUE TO CONTINUE NEXT WEDNESDAY The Morgantown Red
and Blue League will continue next Wednesday at MHS. The league, for 6th,
7th and 8th graders will last through the summer and
will last one hour starting at 6:00. It is open to all MYBO members and
Mohigan camp participants. ÒSome of the bigger 7th graders will be
asked to participate with the 8th grade, so they can be
challenged,Ó said player development Coach Hoffman. ÒThe idea is for the kids
to stay in the gym throughout the summer and fall, so they can be prepared
for their teams next year.Ó ÒThe teams will be
chosen each evening, because some nights, families may have activities
planned and some players may not be able to make it,Ó said Hoffman. ÒPlayers
show up at the top of the hour, teams are picked and they will play 2 games
(Running clock, 10 minute halves; up to 3 courts may be used). They will
learn to call their own fouls, keep score, be leaders, be good teammates, etcÉ
and MYBO Officials will be there to monitor. ItÕs a safe environment and an
alternative for kids that just want to play. ItÕs cheap as well. MHS gives us
the gym for a small donation.Ó The $40 charge pays for the reversible jersey
and a donation to MHS Boys basketball. To join the league,
make a check out to MYBO for $40 and bring it to the gym on Wednesday. The
Red and Blue League is free to anyone that paid the $95 spring fee. However,
email Coach Hoffman at jeffhoffman@mohiganbasketball.com
to get on the mailing list so that you can be informed of schedule changes.
(There will be WednesdayÕs league nights that will be canceled due to the gym
not being available, so check your email for cancellations). Tentative schedule: June 2, 9 (the rest of June is
the High School 3 week workout period, gyms not available) July 7, 21, 28 (July 14 is Jam Fest,
gyms not available) August 4, 11, 18 |

MYBO
WORKOUTS FINIISH FOR THE SPRING MYBO
Spring workouts for 6th and 7th graders finished last
week at MHS and have been held every Tuesday and Thursday evening for the
past few months. The Morgantown High coaching staff has been working on
fundamentals and has taught parts of the MHS system. The clinic was split
into 2 phases with one being the fundamental phase and the other a playing
phase. ÒIt has
been great to see so many kids come out and be willing to work and listen,Ó said
MHS Assistant Coach Crouso. ÒWe have had over 30 kids come and there is some
serious talent in the two age groups. There were nights that the 6th
grade really dominated, but tonight, (Tuesday) the 7th grade took
over.Ó Players
were given reversible practice jerseys and should wear them on Thursday for
the last clinic. |
