I agree with everyone except for Blake Trimpe. He is a good player, but does not have much experience and relies on the three too much. I think this year he will be more average than good.

Wow, Im sorry but I have to disagree very much with Romes being 3rd. Shover and Johnson are both much better, Id say after Ricardo, Elijah, Jermiah, and Shover the rest are alomst all the same

But if Maile is gone, will Shover be the same player? It's a lot easier when you aren't the #1 man on the other teams radar to stop and if Maile is gone, then Shover is that man at CovCath. The question is, can he step up to the challenge?

That would be a huge setback if the Colonels lose Maile.

Yeah I agree with you, Romes belongs on this list but not #3.

If?

**bulldogtech** · Aug 31, 08, 07:53 PM

If is right. I would like to see him play, but from the word around this site is he most likely won't.

**grapplehed** · Aug 31, 08, 08:51 PM

Maile is not playing hoops for c.c next year but I believe Shover will still be his usual solid self no matter who runs with him. Will jayce jordan of Conner ever make it back from the devastating knee injury suffered during his jr. football season?

I'll agree that Romes isn't 3rd, I'd put Shover and Giwa infront of him.

**Qryche11** · Sep 1, 08, 10:12 AM

Kowolonek will be in the Top 10 somewhere. Also Tate Nichols from Ryle. What about Derek Bryan of Villa?

Here is my attempt.

1. Rico Johnson
2. Elijah Pittman
3. Steven McFarland
4. Shina Giwa
5. Brandon Housley
6. Stephen Kowolonek
7. Mitch Shover
8.Tate Nichols
9. Derek Bryan
10. Brian Romes

McFarland is not the third best player in the region. I'd take Housley, Giwa, and Shover over him any day.

Well its Blake Bryan, and I wouldn't say top 10 because of how bad his team is. Is Tate even playing basketball? I know he quit last season, and I wouldn't put Mcfarland that high. Also where is Jerimaih(sp) Johnson?

1. Rico Johnson

Newports Brandon Tucker will open some eyes this year!

It's amazing to me that Holme's starting 5 are all somewhere in the top 10 players in the region. Id have to say I think the 9th is very down this year outside of Holmes. I dont see CovCath being very good, although Shover is very talented. Holy Cross lost alot from last year (Sorell). And then Highlands and NewCath are both very inexperienced, and will need some time before they can really be something.

**malachicrunch** · Sep 1, 08, 04:54 PM

^ I wouldn't say the 9th is down. Pretty typical for 9th region bball. Actually with Holmes as good as they are, I would classify the upcoming season as the 9th being up.
