Why isn’t Xavier Hill-Mais playing yet? The team needs him dearly. If this were another school w/ more marginalized players, a player of his caliber sitting in street clothes would make the front page news; lastly, Hill-Mais is a victim of coaches’ negligent attitudes and behaviors about certain hued athletes.
It is unfortunate that Page has lost its 2 best guards. Every team needs a solid point guard. Page actually lost its best 3 guards from the previous year (1 to graduation and 2 due to transfers). I just wonder if either of the 2 transferring guards will actually get better college offers than what both of them may have gotten otherwise. I would be great if someone could do a story on these type of decisions which we often never hear about after kids leave their original assigned schools.
