BoyS...cont’d from IB Bird. “Hopefully, we'll be able to build off that.” Bird said Nolan Hill is playing better as he works his way back from an ankle injury. “He's still not 100 percent coming off his ankle injury, but he’s starting to move a lit tle better and do some things on both ends, defensively and offensively,” said Bird. The coach said Graham had good game in the post. He said South shot the ball well late against Franklin County, knocking down a couple of big shots. “One guy that sparked us was Drew Porterfield who was coming off a knee injury and hasn’t played much this year,” said the coach. “He did some good things defensively.” The coach said he sees flashes of his starting to “play the way we want to play.” “We saw the ball go in a little better, which makes it less stressful,” said Bird of the team’s second-half performance Tues day. "The more you miss shots you know you can make, the more it puts pressure on the next shot. Hopefully, we'll keep getting better.” Madison County will now turn its atten tion to Region 8-AAAA competition.

"No coach would want to play games right now with as little practice time as we’ve had and as much time as we’ve missed,” he said. “But in this year, you have to play them whether you’re as prepared as you want to be or not.” Zahmerius Shiflet takes the ball to the hoop against South Atlanta Monday.
