Burlin Brower's Heath Pirates entered the season with high expectations coming off an All-A championship season and returning senior forward Jacob Jett, but December saw the Pirates struggle more than a little as they dealt with injury and evolving roles in their rotation. But as we enter the new year, the rotation has settled in around Jett, and Heath has started to play very good basketball...just in time to try and defend that All-A title. Coach Brower joined us on Thursday morning to talk about how well his team is playing, a fact evident in the Pirates' 55-48 win over Hickman County on Wednesday night, and he opens by talking about how well his team is shooting the ball of late, a development he credits to moving the ball well and getting quality shots. The Pirates made 58 percent of their shots against the Falcons, and they got a huge game from Javin Bell, who tossed in 20 points. Brower also praised the defensive effort of his club, most notably the work of Chase Bradley and Jason Armstrong, two players who worked hard to contain Hickman County stars Eric Kerney and Kedrian Thomas. Brower talks about Jett's fine play in his senior season, and he says the multi-talented big forward has proven himself to be a great passer capable of making the game easier for his teammates. As we move our attention forward to Friday night's semifinals, Brower breaks down the many strengths of his foe, Mayfield, and he takes a look at the opposing styles that will be at work in St. Mary's game against Fulton City. Brower shares his keys for his team's success, and he outlines what he believes the Pirates will have to do well to lift the trophy again on Saturday night.
