College teams are well into this 2012-13 basketball campaign already, but for high school basketball fans in Clinton County and across this basketball crazed state of Kentucky, next week is the week they have been waiting for since . . . last March.

The new high school basketball season gets underway next week across Kentucky, and the Clinton County News is ready to provide season-long coverage for our readers once again as the Lady Bulldogs and Bulldogs put their games on the hardwood for the next four months of action.

Inside this week’s Clinton County News, we once again proudly present our annual pre-season look at the players and coaches who make up the teams we’ll all be following and rooting for throughout these upcoming winter months.

Chock full of photographs, profiles, coaches evaluations and team outlooks from head coaches Darrell Thompson and Todd Messer, this year’s Big Blue Preview should give you fans plenty of information to arm yourselves for an enjoyable 2012-13 season of roundball fun.

We hope you enjoy this year’s Big Blue Preview and remember what should be your favorite call for the next four months . . .

GO BIG BLUE
