boom, who do we have that CL is so good? overall team talent or what?

Like Boom said, Quade Williams is the leader for this team, but they've been good this year as well as last year and should be for at least a couple more years because they're balanced scoring. We have 4-5 guys that can pick up the slack if anyone is having an off night.

too bad they don't have any football talent...

Then how would you know? CL's problem isn't lack of talent, it's lack of depth for the moment (but that's about to change), and running a spread offense without a QB. Football could be much MUCH better though if the basketball kids would come out to play.

Right now only 2 Basketball players play football and they're the 2 best football players we have.

Anfernee Poindexter 6'0 175 lbs CB and Starting PG

Dereon Thomas 6'0 235 lbs MLB and JV BBALL Player

Quindon Charles the 6'3 175lbs SG played football as a freshman and was a beast before he decided to play just basketball.

Quade Williams came out for football last spring and was a beast at WR then come fall he's not playing anymore.

Like I said that's changing though. CL was young last year and return more starters than anyone else in district with 17. Menard's building the team slowly from the ground up, this year we had 50 freshman which is double of what we have ever had and he's getting the young BBall players to play football too. Next year there are two freshmen that should have breakout years at WR one is 6'2 160 and other 6'0 155 already.

Anyway back to basketball. I'm so happy for these kids. So happy they've stuck with it all these years and I'm thankful for the new coach who was able to focus them.
