LCDAWGS19 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 After nearly 2 months of emails/phone calls/texts/research, we are finally ready to reveal our Top 25 players in the 10th Region over the last 25 years. I want to thank our "selection committee" for their cooperation in this. I have worn out communication with them throughout this process. I spoke with media members and people who have watched extensive amounts of basketball over this time period. The process was simple: rank 1-25 the best players in the region from the 1989-90 season through last season. Then I assigned 25 points for a 1st place vote, 24 for 2nd and so on. The number after the bio is the amount of points they received. All 1st place votes would be a score of 325. PCRO TOP 25 PLAYERS OF THE LAST 25 YEARS 1.

TRUTH22 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 This is funny lol.... Some really good players on this list but way off for the most part... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rez Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Thanks for posting! I think some players from the smaller schools get the benefit of better stats and an opportunity to play early, while those from bigger schools get a little bit overlooked. I think Russ Middleton-Mason Co, Wes Burtner-GRC and Bryan Wallace-Montgomery Co should all probably be on the list, while I'm not sold on Kirk, Monroe and Seiter being included. Also, I feel like Bourbon Co is being very underrated. I think all 3 of their players listed should be top 15. LeMaster seems especially underrated. I believe the consensus 1st team all-state players from the 10th region during this time period were: 1. Lofton 2. Miller 3. Harrison 5. Knowles 6. Prewitt 20. LeMaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4pointplay Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Kellen Smith from Scott should be on this list. 10th Region has always been very small school centric. There are a lot of players who put up big numbers at these small schools while some players who played at Scott and Campbell County don't get those opportunities against that small school schedule. Scott is a relative newcomer to the 10th as well. Won't make the argument that Kellen should be in the top 20 but he should be in that 20-25 area based on his resume at the high school level and will follow up with a solid career at the D2 level in college.
