RALEIGH EGYPT 2009-20010
Raleigh Egypt for the first time in ten years or more is
in the preseason rankings but not as a top 5 team pick, surprised many people not only in
the tri- state area but nationally. Veteran coach Jimmy Adams
(41 year
coaching history) has moved on to Northwest Mississippi
College after Raleigh Egypt finished state runner up in last
years 2009 TSSAA State Championship. First year coach Brian Brooks inherits a solid
team but not to AAA counterpart standards. Division AAA
teams will be tremendously loaded on both division sides from
years past instead of just a couple of teams being
loaded, all teams have deep rotations and more. The loss
of Anthony Jones and Gentry Hines will hurt but seniors

(6'5 - 215 lbs.),
Rashard
Harris

lbs.
diamond in

and
Alan Morris
(6'4 - 200 lbs.

will contribute heavily all season long. Junior Jeremy
Whitmore,
(6'0 - 175 lbs.,
diamond in
the rough)
will have to step up especially with his sharp shooting
skills, this kid can really shoot. All these
players are definitely major recruiting diamonds.
A schedule that resembles a mild schedule compared to
years past. They will attend Prince County George
Christmas Tournament and the annual Huntsville
Tournament. How a big boy player puts you in the
national limelight. Arnette Moultrie came late and would of been
a major puller but not a regular from the school and
rules. Let me explain; Mo went their all four years and
marketed highly from middle school and look at the
prestigious tournaments they attended in his career.
Craigmont going to the national Chick Fila tournament due to Terico White.
Hamilton went four years ago and won it but did not
return to defend crown, Why? Players not to the
tournament directors standards. Crazy system but that is
the way it is.
Young players will be vying for some major playing time
from juniors
Diere McElroy,
(6'3 - 195 lbs.,

Nick
Stewart,
and
Marco
Henderson
will contribute respectively.
