MacCOON’S LOCKER ROOM Patrick MacCoon Blue Raiders have much to look forward to on court When you get knocked down in life, there is no other solution than to come back stronger. Cleveland may have suffered a heartbreak it will feel for a good while, but a youthful and talent- filled group could very well choose to let this propel them for years to come. With just one senior in the first seven to the court, the Blue Raiders were able to win their fourth most contests (25) since the start of the 21st century. Jason McCowan's squad should even take a major step forward next season. KK Curry had a phenomenal junior season, scoring 654 points (22.5 ppg), among the best in all of East Tennessee. The 6-foot-7 rim punisher should return even stronger next season, and he even hit a couple of 3-pointers in the playoffs to add a scary addi- tion to his dominant force in the paint. While Curry will return with the likes of East Hamilton's Justin Dozier to be District 5- AAA's top threats, another coun- terpart made major strides this season. Dionte Ware is another tower in the paint, who could very well have a breakout season next year. Ware, a player from basket- ball royalty, whose father was on the 1997 Cleveland state cham- pionship team, put forth some flair in the region tournament and throughout the season.

Cleveland Ralph Baldwin Editor and Publisher Daily Banner [email protected] – Established in 1854 – Rick Norton 423.472.5041 Associate Editor [email protected] [email protected] Opinion THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 2017 Viewpoint –––– Some thoughts on what’s killing public education Bill O'Reilly has gone on quite a killing spree. He has written books such as “Killing the Rising Sun,” “Killing Reagan,” “Killing Patton,” “Killing Jesus,” “Killing Kennedy” and “Killing Lincoln.” I think he should also write one called “Killing Public Education.” Here is what is killing public education: A culture of disrespect is rampant in our schools. This can be created by a variety of reasons. For starters: 1. Lack of respect for a profession, which is roughly 80 per- cent female. 2. Too many people incorrectly believing that anybody can be a teacher. 3. The very structure of our public education system, as well as the state of our society, often means educators are the major authority figure in many children’s lives. This necessitates that educators are on the frontline of the culture wars. This results in an ugly fact: teachers provide the only correction or discipline some children ever receive. This leads to a negative percep- tion of teachers and public education in gener- al. The struggles that most educators face are daunting.
