This is a really really bad loss for Johnson Central. I'm sure there will be the "we just didn't make enough shots" explanation. But in reality, the best team from the mountains just lost to one of the bottom 3 teams in the 8th region. I have always supported the Shelby County teams. But Shelby County hasn't been relevant since Collins opened.
Brohm doesn't seem to be motivated by a large check. He declined overtures from Maryland, Virginia, and Virginia Tech in recent years. He's in CUSA, which isn't far from the American Conference. He'll stay at WKU until a major job is available.
Bullitt East is always good. I question that there aren't any 8th region teams. South Oldham should at least be in there. Also, University Heights? They're always talented, but rarely win games against quality teams. Was this a coaches poll? Or just the writers?
Last year was an uncharacteristic down year for Collins. But coach gaither was able to get a lot of younger kids some valuable experience. I believe they'll make a lot of noise in the 8th.
Spend most nights in Collins or Shelby County's gym. But I will also take in Bullitt East games. And occasionally go to Spencer County and Louisville Eastern.
