I cannot find the previous topic on him/AL basketball, so I am posting a new topic. (Moderators: feel free to move this to the other topic if it still exists)
Someone asked if it is worth the price of admission to go see him play. I say yes, for a few reasons.
For 1 - it answers the question on this board of "What is their to do in this town?" I went to the game versus Roch. Century, and the crowd was very healthy in size.
For 2 - As the local paper loves to state, he is going to D-I, so it is a good chance to see a local 'hero.' He holds the record for most points in a career for an AL basketball player, so -based on these facts- he must be pretty good.
For 3 - Coach Addington has the boys playing a style that is fun for the audience to watch. I do not think I saw more than 4 offensive plays the whole night, but it was enjoyable. The team plays aggressive D, and looks to get out and run. The style is up tempo, and is run well.
For 4 - He is a good player - relatively speaking. He does need to work harder on D, and on improving conditioning (he appears to float at times) as well as improve his jumper, but he has a very quick first step. He appears to be able to drive by defenders at will. He is a very solid ball-handler and has a flair for making fancy passes.
For 5 - This is not a one-dimension team: the other Tigers are also good players. Thorn is very solid all-around and does the little things well - if he had another 4-5 inches or so, he could play at the next level. Habben is a big body who knows how to play. Moore is a very good compliment to Woodside - he is a sound shooter and can run the point, giving Woodside a break. Skophammer should be really good by his senior year. Behrends seems to continually put up good numbers, and will attack the hoop strong at times. Keyeski (sp?) has the chance to develop into a very good high school guard by his senior year. And there are many others whose names I cannot remember right now who know what role they have and play well as a team.
(side-bar) The 9th grader (Dieser) playing JV, could play Varsity this year if he is needed. He appears to be a total package player and is head-and-shoulders above his level of competition. Hopefully he continues to improve and does not take his talent for granted. [The JV team plays well, for JV level, and is worth showing up early to see.]
For a schedule, I would assume that it is on the Albert Lea High School Website. Probably located under sports. I have not looked there, but I presume it would be there.
I hope that answers some of the questions I remembered from the other thread.

Where is Tom Jones? I'm having all kinds of anxiety since he left the radio! He can't just leave these kids mid season! We finally got a coach, and a group of fellows that are starting to play like a team and it is like Jones has lost faith. Come back Tom, all is forgiven.

I just have to comment on that dieser kid. I dont c wat makes him sooo good. I mean he has almost single handledly lost a few of the games for JV. One of the reasons he is on JV in the first place is cuz he dad has to kiss so much a$$. He should stay on the 9th grade team they kinda need him i mean they havent been doin 2 good this year huh. I think it's bull crap how they take spots away from older kids who have put in more time and effort jus becuz ur dad is good @ kissin a$$. :cool:

Why go?
Even without Woodside it would still be a great value of the money.
Jones is not on the radio because he is a coach or asst coach in Alden and that conflicts with his schedule.
