Originally posted by Tnbreakers View PostYea I coached a very competetive AAU Showcase team and we played the Georgia Stars, Atlanta Celtics,etc. Some of those guys played at Wheeler, while in Atlanta I went back to the school and man has things changed since back in my days. Wheeler used to be a wealthy area, not anymore.

Originally posted by harold_bush View PostThere are still some really nice areas that feed into Wheeler, but not quite like it used to be. Now everyone is clamoring to get into Pope, Lassiter, Walton area b/c the schools are so good. Wheeler district really gone down academically, and once my kids were getting close to kindergarten we moved to higher ground.
