Summer Games today at Adair County featuring 3 of last years state tournament teams. All game times are are central. 1:00 PM Adair County vs Bowling Green 3:00 PM Pulaski County vs Bowling Green 5:00 PM Pulaski County vs Washington County 6:00 PM Adair County vs Washington County

yes had all 3. Hutchison was really good in the game. Southwestern actually went 10-23 from 3. They look like a top 5 team in the 12th to me. Adair is just really good they played 4 upcoming seniors and 1 junior the whole game and never subbed, with the tallest one being 6'2. All 5 of those were in the rotation of the region title team last year. Whenever they get Coomer and Cochran back they will be a top 10 team in the state most likely

Thought we should start a thread of updates from summer games. Yesterday reigning 5th region champion Adair County defeated Clinton County 65-55 and Southwestern Pulaski 74-66. Adair is currently without 6'7 Isaiah Cochran who is out for the summer with an injury and also 6'6 double figure guy Brayton Coomer.

Miles replaces former coach Steve Barker. The last 2 seasons Miles was head coach at Thomas Nelson. Caverna returns a lot of talent, especially in the sophomore class and will be projected as a top 5 team in the region for the next 2 seasons.

Former Taylor County head coach Montrelle Irvin has taken an associate head coaching job with Green County. Irvin was replaced by Josh Kays as head coach at Taylor this offseason.

Ended up a better prognosis than believed. 4-5 month return to sports.

Some of the more recent big news out of the 5th region is the injury to Cochran from Adair. He had a severe leg/ankle injury in AAU a few weeks ago. Should be back before the season but will miss the entire summer.

Cochran from Adair won't be participating as he had a bad ankle/leg injury during an AAU even 2 weeks ago.

Yes doesn't make much sense to me tbh went 19-10 and 17-11 last 2 seasons. Did not make region but that district has been really competitive lately and losing to Larue last year in district shouldn't be seen as disappointing to me.

What's happening is better players don't want to average 20 ppg at their school and win 10 games and not make the region tournament. They'd rather average less at another school and win 20-25 games and make a postseason run.

Heard yesterday Steve Barker is out at Caverna after 2 seasons. Not sure if this was by his choice or not. This could be a very attractive job as Caverna went 17-11 last season and return 4 of their top 6 players led by Jaylin Crane at point guard who has a D1 offer. Craine and 2 other starters have 2 years left as well.

Jeff Jackson is a sleeper candidate from what someone told me.

Yes this should rule Washington out as a contender. I think the region will be a 5-6 horse race next year. Adair, Caverna, Larue, Green, Taylor could sneak in if have additions. Central could be solid but no Decker.

Still hearing it'll be Josh Kays
