USE CODE "tinnon30" FOR 30% OFF THE FIRST PURCHASE OF ANY SUBSCRIPTION   Staying put in the Murfreesboro area, this place has talent that truly does make noise. There is a long history of kids from this particular area who can do work. I mentioned in the previous article that there is a long lineage of kids who have had stellar high school careers and have turned out to be solid ballplayers at the next level. It's like kids in this area see what was before them, emulate what they have seen, and start putting in the work.    As I mentioned earlier, talent throughout the city is spread across various schools. Just like any other place, you are going to have those who shine yet may not get far in the tournament because of what other schools may have.
