Just reading through the post and I would be really surprised if J. Polson is not on the final squad. -

Elisha Justice Named Mr. Basketball
BANKSHOT replied to Wireman's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Unbelievable what has happened at SV over the last week. -
Who would you vote for Mr. Basketball?
BANKSHOT replied to bigblueinsanity's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Loubballfan is still in shock that SV took down his mighty 7th Region Ballard Bruins. It is even going to be more painful if Justice wins Mr. Basketball. -

I know it hurts a few people on here but my guess after hearing some talk at the State Tourney Justice will win this award. Wont we find out Thursday? -

Shelby Valley 73 Louisville Ballard 61
BANKSHOT replied to DragonFire's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Guys thanks for all the nice words. This is an absolutely terrific feeling to watch kids youve watched grow up do something this great. If you count the All A this is 3 out of the last 4 State Chapionships. The teams motto since the first practice has been "write your own legacy" and I think they did that tonight. -
Ballard/Shelby Valley predictions
BANKSHOT replied to gold sunrise's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
True blue SV fan here guys and their is a bunch of us walking around Lexington right now on cloud nine. I just saw people shedding tears they are so happy for this team. There are matchup problems for SV and i worry about their legs tonight as Ballard is much deeper. SV must start well and keep it close and get the crowd behind them. Like his game or not Justice has played his tail off through this tourney. KSR is comparing it to the old Ballard versus Clay county games. This team is not scared and will not back down. Ballard is very impressive and I just hope SV can keep it close enough to have a chance at the end. -
West Jessamine/Shelby Valley predictions
BANKSHOT replied to gold sunrise's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Should be a great game that goes down to the wire. SV looked very focused yesterday so Im interested to see if they can carry that over. Polson will get his points he is vey crafty and fun to watch. I think Justice will have another solid game with points, assist, steals and rebounds. Sv wins. SV 63 WJ 59 -

Shelby Valley 68 Paducah Tilghman 45

I think Justice scored 4 points in the second half. Its the state tournament if you cant play you get thumped. And trust me SV has been on the receiving end of some of those. -
Who are some of the best Assistant Coaches?

Greg Newsome at Shelby Valley. Got this group of kids playing AAU together at a young age. -
Talent Level = Size of School?
BANKSHOT replied to mcraycraft's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
The All A Classic uses its own numbers and has nothing to do with football classifcation. This has been beat to death here in East Ky because Shelby Valley is 2A in football. I cant remember exactly what the number is but if you have under their number of students in your sophomore through senior classes then you qualify. In the 15th region you have Johnson Central and Belfry that are larger schools and the rest probably have from 200 to 600 students. Common sense tells you that your better off finding 12 basketball players out of 1500 students rather than 500. Im not saying that the smaller schools cant win or that a bigger school cant have a bad team but the odds are definitely in the bigger schools favor. Using the 15th region as an example in the last 30 years here are the teams that were a legit threat to win a state title. Todd May's Virgie teams of the early 80's, John Pelphreys Paintsville teams of the late 80,s, J.R. Vanhoose and Painstville's Championship team, and now this Shelby Valley team of the last couple years. So it ends up being every 10 to 15 years. -
Ricardo Johnson for Mr. Basketball
BANKSHOT replied to CATBIRD's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Im an SV guy and pulling for Justice but I definitely would not argue if Johnson wins he has proven himself on the court in big games. -
