The goals were lower, and the players were much smaller. Yet, Jason Bell put his heart and soul into making those little guys better but also showing how much fun it could be.
It was six years ago, and Luke Patterson and Bryce Bell were two of the players on a team that learned to hustle and play hard.
Fast forward a few years, and Bell has another team that is hustling and playing hard. These guys are much bigger with much more on the line.
Bell took over as head basketball coach at Scottsboro High School this season. And what a season it has been. On Monday, Scottsboro will enter the Final Four for the first time since 1967.
