On a positive note

Was it really just a year ago when Louisiana was the Bad Hoops state?

Now a year later LSU wins the SEC championship. Northwestern State wins the Southland championship and Southern wins the SWAC championship.

Not bad for a football state.

And for area fans, it's been an even better time to have a basketball Jones. Fair Park won Shreveport-Bossier City's first boys championship since 1994. The Southwood girls won yet another state championship.

It's been a great time to follow basketball in northwest Louisiana.
