  1. Yes they do. Every year there is about three teams with talent and experience in the region. The great coaches are the ones who get there teams ready for the region and win to go to state. If the question had been who is the greatest coach in sixteenth region history, alot of people including myself would pick Hop Brown. Because he got his teams ready to play in post season and made the right choices then.
  2. OK , I'll admit I'm biased for Ashland. I think in the next couple of years Ashland should win the region at least once with the experience and talent they have coming back. If they don't then I'm going to get back on here and say he stinks. I'm going to enjoy watching him coach in pressure situations with talent. Other posts on here sound like they think luck is the main attribute of a great coach. I still think going to state is the most important thing.
  3. With Okoro and Fortman on the team, how could anyone think they would fold? The discussion is over who the best coaches are in the region. My contention is that winning in the post season is the most important factor. I don't have any thing against Kidwell but he has not shown very good coaching ability in the post season. My opinion is that Euton is tops then Bradley and Trimble. Bradley is in the discussion because they did well in the post season as well as Raceland. I don't think losing the district and being runner up in the region means much. Tubby won a championship but it is what you have done lately that counts. If Bill Bradley had had the power house team Russell had this year Ashland would have at least went to state and probably won it. I did not say anything bad about the Faulkners. I agree that Kala was the best player her senior year easily. I think Britt was given a raw deal this year. My opinion is that Great coaches coach great in pressure situations. To me this is the main criteria for who the best coaches are. What do you think is most important?
  4. No one gives Euton any credit but she certainly gets her team ready for the post season and they win. No one remembers who came in second place in the district or Region. They just put the winners on the Trophies.
  5. I've never heard anyone say the program was going to fold over losing the Faulkners. In fact , they received few personal awards the two years they were at Rose Hill. Russell's team this year was a loaded monster that stomped most teams early. But it's what you do in the post season that really counts when it comes to being a good coach. Bradley leading our under classmen dominated Kittens to a District championship was masterful. Merle not winning a District or Region either one , whether you think he has integrity or not, with that bunch of talented girls is a shame. This is a sport where winning in the post season is the name of the game. If Bill had had Russell's team, they would have won the state.
  6. Like I said, winning in the post season is what really counts , otherwise they would not keep score. I agree that you have to take into account the talent on the teams but I still say winning in the district and regional tournaments even with a loaded team is hard to do and takes a great coach. Just look at what happened to Russell the last two years. Not winning a region with that loaded team must look bad on the ole resume.
  7. I'd have to say Strait no. 1, then Vanderhoof . Just because Strait 's team was really young and she still did well. Raceland was like Russell, really loaded with talent.
  8. OK , maybe this 1.]Euton 2.]Bradley 3.]Trimble 4.] Troy Lee 5.] The rest of them It's hard not to be biased.
  9. 1.] Bradley 2.] Euton 3.] Trimble 4.] Troy Lee 5.] The rest of them Just going by the last couple of years . And yes, winning the post season is what everyone shoots for if they would be honest.
  10. 1.] KY 2.] NO 3.] Emily Queen 4.] Laura Terry 5.] Rebecca Gray tiebraker #1 : 10 tiebreaker #2 : 2 hrs.
  11. Congratulations to Britt Faulkner on being Rose Hill's valedictorian. Quite an awesome list of honors. She must have plenty of good character to recieve all these awards. If any body knows what her mom fed her and her sister , please tell me. Physical talent, beauty and brains on top of it all. Good luck at Louisville next year.:dancingpa :dancingpa :dancingpa
  12. You don't really want us to believe you would rather have lost two regions and a district than kept the Faulkners. :D :rolleyes: Ashland , East should be best in region next year. Always have to watch out for West Carter though.
  13. Us neighbors in Ashland don't resent Rose Hill. I mean we even went so far as to paint one of our bridges Rose Hill blue to honor their state runner up run. :laugh:
  14. I think Russell and Kidwell wish they had never had to play Rose Hill. Not surprising they still won't.
  15. If you mean ripping on her players, I'd have to say yes. Only caught one of there games though. It might have been an aberation.
