Everyone: Hudl is fine, could improve, but helpful in scouting.

Hudl: Let's change everything in the worst way possible and don't tell any coaches or offer any instructions or help.

Illinois Basketball Fact: IBCA HOF Coach Rich Herrin had so many great teams and players at Benton High School. In reading Matt Wynn's book on Coach Rich Herrin, I read this gem. In 1969, Steve Stewart became the 1st freshmen to play on the varsity for Benton under Rich Herrin.

Rangers are #17 on this very prestigious list. You don’t see many small school conferences with 3 teams in the top 20. That’s what makes Fridays fun in Mississippi Division. @PCHS_Hoops @hornethoopsquad
