Elisha Justice Notes
March 8th, 2010
In a letter sent out to statewide coaches by Shelby Valley High School head basketball coach Jason Booher encouraging them to vite for Elisha Justice for Mr. Basketball, Booher quoted Louisville men’s coach Rick Pitnio referring to Justice as the “bullet.”
Booher said Pitino, who signed Justice to his Louisville team this year, is as fast as a bullet.
If Justice has a solid regional tournament, wins the title and has a good state tournament showing, he could be in the thick of the Mr. Basketball chase.
What Elisha has accomplished is incredible. Bringing the state’s top basketball honor back to the mountains will solidify his stance as one of the best to ever play the game in eastern Kentucky.
