Hoops Across the Mountain State - Episode 144 Girl's Roundtable Edition
There has been a lot of news revolving around high school athletics in West Virginia, especially in girl's and boy's basketball. The constant news regards what is going on in the high school transfer portal and the four-class system.
What are coaches thinking and saying about those topics, among many others? What changes need to occur?
Jamie LaMaster, long-time George Washington girl's head basketball coach, John Kennedy, the Ripley Vikings girl's head basketball coach, and Pat Jones, the Nitro Wildcats girl's head basketball coach, join Taylor Kennedy, @Taylor_Kennedy7 on Twitter, for the inaugural girl's basketball roundtable.
Among the other topics that were discussed, one that remains a consistent thought with Taylor is, "Is girl's basketball in West Virginia having a moment?"
