Educationiseverything.Whetherapersonisstartingoutinpre-schoolorjustretiredfromwork-

inga40-hour-a-weekjobfor40,50or60yearsstraightandlearninghowtoadjusttonothavingtogotoworkeveryday,educationiseverything.

ForNortheast freshman guardBreeHarris ofNewSite and freshmanforwardCedricJanesofDyersburg,Tenn.,educationhascomeinallformsandshapesduringtheirshortlifetimes.

ForHarris,itwaslearningthatonedoesn’tstartfromwheretheywanttobe,butitisasteadyprogressiontothepinnacleofone’sdesires.

ForJanes,theeducationprocesshashelpedthesix-foot,six-inchfresh-mandiscoverthingsabouthimselfthatheneverknewwasthereuntildoorswereopenedforhim.

“WheneverIwasbigenoughtopickupaball,mybrotherandmydadwouldn’tletmeshootathreeuntilIwasaneighthgraderinhighschool,”Harrissaid.“Theywantedmyformtobegood.”

Harris’ education process didn’t stopat just developingher form, itwas aboutlearning to shoot from anywhere on thefloor.

“I had to shoot one-handed andcouldn’t through it up two-handed likethe other kids in school,”Harris said. “Istartedoffatonefootawayandgraduallyworkedmywayback.”

Harris’educationcamealsoviathe10-foot high regulation basketball goal andnot an adjustable one like some athletesstartoutplayingon.

Janes’basketballeducationcameatanearlyageaswellwhenhestartedinatour-namentinnorthernTennessee.

“IstartedplayingwhenIwassix,”Janessaid.“Itwasasmall tourna-mentmydadhelpedgetmeintoinRipley,Tenn.Iplayedformythirdgradeteacher.”

EarlyeducationiswhereHarrisandJanes’storiesdivergealongthehard-wood.

Harris split her time atNewSiteHighSchool between the basketballcourtsandtheacademiclifewhileJanesfocusedonbasketball.

Harris,a5-7guard,wasnamedthe2010CellularSouthScholarAthletefor theClass2Astatechampionshipgameat theMississippiHighSchoolActivitiesAssociation’s (MHSAA)state tournament in thespringof2010inJackson.

Harris,whohasapre-medicinebiologyareaofconcentrationatNorth-east,saidthatacademicskeptherontrack.

“Ialwaysputschoolfirst,”Harrissaid.“Iwasprettymuchprepared.Itookcollegeclassesmysenioryear.”

HarrisfinishedheracademiccareeratNewSitewitha4.0gradepointaverageandwasvaledictorianofherclass.

Onthehardwood,Janesdevelopedintoamanamongstboys.Duringhisfreshmanyear inhighschool,Janeswasalreadysix-feet, three-inches tallandtoppingthescalesat350pounds.

Thosestatsaregreatforafootballplayer,whichJaneswasatthattime,buttheformerdefensivetackle,knewthattobeabletoexcelatthegameheloved,thepoundshadtogo.

“Allthewaythroughhighschool,Iwasalwaysbigandtall,”Janessaid.“Iwashuge.Iwasalwaysthebigman.”

Janes’mindsetandbodychangeddramaticallybetweenhisfreshmanandsophomoreyearsofhighschool.

“MyhighschoolcoachsaidIwastoobig,”Janessaid“Ineededtoloseweight.Itwasawholebunchofrunning,workingoutandgettingupearlyandworkingbymyselfandafterIgotfinishedrunning,Ihadtogotothegymandrunsomemore.”

ForJanes,thetransformationstartedwithdroppingalmost100poundsbetweenhisninthandtenthgradeseasons,butitwasachangeofscenerythatsethismindright.

“Myfirsttwoyearsinhighschoolwasbasicallyjustfinishhighschoolanddosomethingwithyourlife,”Janessaid.“ThenImovedtoDyerCountyandeverythingstarted to lookup. IgotascholarshipandInever thoughtIwouldbeplayingball in school in col-lege.”

While Janes had to modify his bodytofithisgame,Harris’gamecameeasytoher.

“ShootingalwayscamenaturallyandIreallydidn’thavetodomuchelse,”Har-ris.“That’swhythetransitionhasbeensohardbecauseIreallydidn’thavetodribbleor have to defend so I havehad toworkonmyballhandlingand learninghow todefend.”

Whileboththeirbasketballeducationsprogressed, the opportunities to continuetheir academic educations also increasedandforHarris,thedecisionwassimple.

“CoachFordhasaverygoodreputation,”Harrissaid.“Thiswholepro-gramisprestigious.Tobehonest,IwantastatechampionshipsinceIdidn’tgetoneinhighschool.”

“Ineverplannedongoingtoschoolsomygradesweren’tup,”saidJanes.“Aftertalkingwithmyparentsandcoaches,itturnedouttobeaprettygoodideaandit’sbeenaprettygoodideasofar.HopefullyIcangetascholarshiptogotoabiggerschoolandplaymyheartouttheretoo.”

DedicationiswhatdrivesbothHarrisandJanesintheirpursuitsonandoffthebasketballcourts.

And just as a change of scenery helped focus Janes in high school, achangeofscenerytoBoonevillehashelpedthefreshmanforwarddiscoveranewloveforeducation.

“Ineverthoughtofmyselfasasmartguy,”Janessaid.“WhenIgothereandfoundoutallyouhavetodoisstudy,IfoundoutIwasprettygoodatmath.Ineverknewthatandit’sprettyeasy.Thatcamealoteasierthanmygameiscoming.”

WhileJanesistryingtoadjusttolifeoffthebasketballcourt,Harrisistakingheracademicstothehardwoodandapplyingtheconceptstothegame.

“Everyteam,youplayisgood,”Harrissaid.“It’sdifferentpreparation.Youcan’thaveabadgame…theywillcapitalize.Inhighschool,youcouldplaybadandstillwin.”

Andwiththateducation,bothJanesandHarrisarelookingatusingwhattheylearnatNortheasttoprogressintothenextstepoftheirlives–whetheritisonthehardwoodorinthelaboratory.
