Greetings HS hoops junkies from across the icy Piedmont! The Great One is back after the holidays to reveal his latest F5 rankings. Unlike usual, he factored in holiday tournament results in his first rankings of 2025. Conference play began for some counties this past Friday and goes to full throttle this week. Some always good showdowns are on the horizon and The Sadster is ready and waiting. He will begin choosing Sad Sam’s Game of the Week each week and will be in attendance to do an article on the game. The game choices won’t be limited to public 4A games and will include the possibility of 3A, 2A, and private school games. The inaugural GOTW will be North Meck at Chambers this Friday. Without further delay, we will now get……TO THE 5!!!!!
