Hey gang:
Who would have thought it.
After 11 games, the Kingston High's boys and girls basketball teams are a combined 1-10. Following another game in which they failed to protect a lead in the fourth quarter on Friday night, the Kingston girls fell to 1-6.
The Tiger boys, meanwhile, dropped to 0-4 after losing their home opener earlier in the week.
I can't recall a season in which both teams have collectively struggled like this and I'm very surprised at the Kingston girls, who returned several key members of a team that advanced to the state semifinals last season.
Both teams, especially the Kingston boys, appear young and let's hope for their sake boys coach Ron Kelder and girls coach Steve Garner figure things out quickly. There's a long way to go in the season, but -- at this rate -- we could be looking at a basketball season where neither Kingston team will be playing in the Section 9 tournament.
There's something not right about that.
Until next time, take care and God bless.
