Top 10 Players in the 16th
Kingfish Stevens replied to Michael Corleone's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
As a bit of an olive branch to Golden Gopher, I am going to say that Matt Thomas is the best senior in the region. In my mind, there is no doubt about it. He is a very deserving young man. However, in the spirit of honesty and at the risk of bending the olive branch, I have to add that there is no way by any stretch of partisan imagination that Bonner is a top ten player. Coleman may contribute more to the maroonies than will Bonner. Bonner will miss the bumping and shoving of McDavid. -
Rate the coaches in the 16th
Kingfish Stevens replied to Fanofthe16th's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
The region has a number of decent coaches but no "great" ones. -
Boy, these posts are completely expected and true to form. Lots of backhanded, and fronthanded, cuts at Mayo. Mayo scored 32 points in his college debut. He made mistakes but, then, he is actually human. On the other hand, he carried his team and demonstrated that, as expected, he will be a PTPer immediately in college- much unlike the partisan posters's personal favorites. Mayo has many in the northeast area of the state who root for him. He has at least as many who have never gotten over their jealousy and envy and who continue to root for his failure. Being an outspoken member of the former group, I enjoy all the whining. Go for it.

Too bad Mars is not a new member of the 64th District. We could possibly reverse the ill-advised vote by Rose Hill to seed. -
Second Round: Raceland @ Lexington Christian
Kingfish Stevens replied to gchs_uk9's topic in KY Football (High School)
The previous playoff meeting score is irrelevant. What was the score when they played this season? I believe it was LCA 42 Raceland 7. -
As a long distance fan of CovCath, I used the link to listen to the game on the radio. After about seven minutes of babbling with no mention of the score, I gave up. These guys are miserable. At least, from BGP, I found out that CovCath is ahead with less than seven minutes left. If I didn't appreciate Dickie Martin before I sure do now.

Middle School State Tournament
Kingfish Stevens replied to Pizza boy's topic in KY Girls Basketball (High School)
It is always a big event for the participants. I'm glad to see that three of the 16th Region teams (Bath County, Rowan County, and Rose Hill) are in it. -

The best coach in the region will undoubtedly be the one who has the most talent that performs to its capabilities. With very few exceptions, it is the successful performance of talented players that makes a coach look brilliant. If the talent and personal motivation of the players is sufficient, the coach can roll out a ball and retire to the teachers's lounge for a nice Diet Pepsi and a nap. -
Top 10 Players in the 16th

I would agree with Fastbreak that there is a lot of passion in the 16th Region. Those associated with a particular school passionately support their favorites. No doubt about it. However, I believe an equally present ingredient in the mix is that many passionately dislike some of their neighboring schools. To put it another way, there is not a high level of love in the 16th Region. There is, in many cases, even less trust and respect. So, why do so many 16th Region threads get closed down? Undoubtedly, it is passion of one kind or another. And, this passion is not limited to BGP by any stretch of the imagination. The 16th Region is not likely to host a "family picnic". -
Middle School State Tournament
Kingfish Stevens replied to Pizza boy's topic in KY Girls Basketball (High School)
Actually not. The teams are school teams and the event is considered by most to be the middle school state tournament. Nothing else would remotely qualify since it features 28 of the top teams from all over the state. Possibly if Ashland ever entered such tournaments, you would feel differently. Participation sure couldn't hurt your programs- boys and girls. -

Excellent analysis from a first time poster.
