The Bobcat Nation

Ran across this site that rated the top 5 Montana high school basketballs in the state of Montana, Five Teams to Watch, as well as Famous Basketball Alumni of the Montana high school ranks. I found it quite interesting plus one MAJOR error, and one major Omission (all in famous Alumni). Comments? What is your lists?

The big problem I have with a list like this is that they always seem to ignore Montana's great legacy of Native American or Reservation basketball. Ask any true aficionado of Montana preps basketball who the greatest basketball players were and they are going to include players like Elvis Old Bull, Dan Wetzel Jonathan Takes Enemy, the list goes on. But not many of these athletes went on to play college ball or if they did not for very long. A lot of these kids could compete talent wise with the Mike Lewis and Larry Krystowiak's, but they just never moved past the high school level. The Lists put together by 5starbasketball, I think is ranking them on what impact Montana athletes had on the national level so I understand where the list is coming from.

Still my old coach and math teacher Eric Hays is from Oregon NOT Montana, and how can you put any list of Famous Montana prep basketball Alumni with out including Wayne Estes from Anaconda who was leading the Nation in scoring for Utah State when he was killed.

Face it, its not like these articles are written by anyone in MT.
