NKBBCA/NKAC Division I All-Stars

It is spelled Niece. -
Kelly had a huge day today. First he was named 8th region POY which makes him a Mr Kentucky candidate. Then he goes out and scores 47. This breaks a 40 year single game record of 45 set by Dave Dixon in the SK Sweet Sixteen Championship year in 1981 while at SK. To top off the day the 47 now puts Kelly in the top ppg scoring average surpassing Reed Shepard. Now it’s time to make this a post season to remember.

Simon Kenton 87 Ashland 85

Crazy ending to this one. Kelly Niece misses two free throws in a row early in the game (shoots 87%) but at the end of the game he has two attempts with 1.5 seconds on the clock and the game tied. He makes the first with ice running through his veins. Then he tries to miss the second on purpose to run the clock. Well of course that one went in as well. Go Figure! Neers win 87-85. Kelly Niece had 42 points. 17/23 FG, 3/5 3PT, 5/7 FT, 7 Reb. -
Kelly Niece (SK) not only had 38 against the rival foe of WV for the district seeding. Take a look at this stat line. Was 14-16 from the field including 5 3s and 5 for 5 from the line. Missed 2 shots and scored 38. Pretty efficient. That is firing on all cylinders. BTW, thanks for the fantastic and detailed weekly reviews.

Campbell County 79 Simon Kenton 64

Niece had 26 in a losing effort. I would venture to guess that SK had as many turnovers as Niece had points. Very sloppy passing by the Pioneers. Credit not unnoticed to CC for their excellent passing lane denial. -
Great game start to finish. Grant was down 2 with 14 seconds left with the ball and a chance to tie or win it. Defensive pressure by SK allowed Niece to get a steal and then a open lane to the basket on the other end. Looked like a "and 1" opportunity but the foul was called on the floor. Niece goes to the line with 8 seconds remaining to shoot two. That gym was likely never as loud as it was with him at the line. "The Bucket" Niece drained both to put the game out of reach for Grant. Awesome atmosphere and the reason we all love basketball in KY.

All 8th Region Team

Davis only had 8 3s last night vs Holmes. He should be on the 4th team all region. -
All 8th Region Team
denniscarguy replied to Mack The Knife's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
That holds no water at all. South and North each played one more in region game and they received two players. Not diminishing those two players but numbers of games played does not warrant consideration. The top teams that played more in region games played many against smaller schools that SK and others do not want to schedule. Should SK schedule Eminence, Owen, Henry, Carroll and others? Heck add one more player, you already have 16. I'm not sure what makes that number the total to be used. -
All 8th Region Team

Absolute robbery that Davis of Simon Kenton was overlooked. Senior with the best 3pt percentage in the state, not the region. Multiple players of other teams made list and their team is ranked lower. Someone please justify. -
Simon Kenton 87 Woodford County 64
denniscarguy replied to hoops_fan's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
This was never really a close game. Woodford big guy got 2nd foul early and they could not handle the onslaught of 3s from SK. -
