John Boyd named to coaching staff of 2008 Indiana Basketball HS All-Stars

I think it is about time that you guys give the credit to John Boyd that he deserves...I have been at games this year at West Side and listening to folks in the stands... all they wanted to do was hate on John Boyd(131-63 and his West Side Cougars Boys Basketball Team, you know the ones that won the 4A State Championship in 2002.

I for one didn't think of JB as a Basketball coach, because I had only known of him to be a baseball guy... but over these last few years he has proved alot of people wrong... even me.

Even though over the years I have watched him mature into a good coach and his players respond to him very well...even putting a few in division 1 college programs... what can you ask for from a coach... get your players to the next level, thats what.

John is opening eyes in Indiana and was named to the coaching staff of the annual Indiana-Kentucky All-Star games, he along with Tecumseh's Kevin Oxley with assist Head Coach Rick Baumgartner from Muncie South, in putting the best talent on the floor.

"I'm honored to get this opportunity, especially being such a young coach," said Boyd, "I try to do things right. I try to uplift kids. I'm glad to get asked. Other than being the head coach, this is the highest honor you can get."

JB, the only advice I got for you is make sure that Tyler Zeller and Seth Coy from Washington High is on the team...you can win with those giants.

Here is a my 2 cents...
Derrell Conner
Tyler Zeller
Seth Coy
Julius Mays
Walter Offutt
Angel Garcia
DeAndre Allen
Pryce Underwood
