Highland County boys basketball program stalls over junior varsity-only plan

The boys basketball program at a Highland County school has stalled following a dispute between students and administration. School officials decided to field only a junior varsity team due to roster needs, but students refused to participate, arguing they deserve a varsity season. Former coach Cane Sampson stated the players feel the decision undermines their efforts, while the school maintains that insufficient student participation made the junior varsity plan necessary.
