There is nothing like high school sports, the purest form of athletic competition.
We are so blessed in Fayette County with such a great legacy in each sport. Just recently, every one of our girls volleyball teams were in the playoffs.
We are now approaching the apex of a really incredible season with the McIntosh High School boys basketball team. Following the victory against Drew High School, they are now undefeated at 21-0 and have beaten some tough teams.
The basketball team is led by a core group of juniors under the instruction of Head Coach Jason Eisele.
Going undefeated in basketball is a remarkable achievement with a 25-game schedule. McIntosh is making a valiant run.
The “Battle of the Bubble” between Starr’s Mill and McIntosh was a very memorable game. It was the largest crowd I have ever seen at a basketball game in Fayette County with entry to the gym closed at the beginning of the boy’s game.
Starr’s Mill Principal Audrey Toney and our Fayette County Sheriff’s deputies did an excellent job of keeping order in the packed arena. I was so proud of our students from both schools for their enthusiasm and outstanding behavior.
This is your chance to be the “sixth man” and cheer the teams to victory. The excitement is building with each game for the McIntosh boys. Packing the gym gives the team a significant psychological advantage.
This could be a season for the history books. Come cheer on the home team.
Go Chiefs!
