Not really a SWIAC post but just for info, I went to the Linton - Sullivan 7th and 8th grade games last evening. Linton's 7th grade is just average at best and lost by about 6 to the arrows. I really wanted to see the Linton 8th grade team which apparently is very good. The young Miners didn't disappoint as the game was completely one-sided, ending up 56 -31. An interesting observation is was that the team looked identical to the High School team in the way they defended and played the offense. HS coach's son, young Joey Hart is said to be the best prospect of the team but he didn't standout much, if any, above the others which is a good thing. Two evenings before Linton beat a good and undefeated North Daviess 8th grade team. One odd fact was the Sullivan, a 3A school, has only 8 eighth graders on the roster and only dressed 6. I don't know what's up with that. Bottom line is, this Miner eighth grade team seems to be loaded with good players so the future looks pretty good for Linton.
