Per coin flip, Rockcastle gets #1 seed in the 47th, leaving Casey And Pulaski to battle it out at #2 & #3. No such thing as an upset in this year's 47th, as any team is capable of beating the other.

Dylan James back to Sheldon Clark at the end of this season? That's the rumor?

His dad took the supt job at Martin Co. So i would assume he is indeed headed to SC

Mercer will loose 4 starters and 2 off bench if I ain't mistaken.

Sounds right.

Trevon Faulkner is slated to be the only returning starter next season.

Dunning, Lanham, and. Carter Baughman are going to be solid...just need Gillispie to get stronger and hold down the inside

Big fan of Rhyan Lanham. His game has developed the most from middle school to high school. He is a lot of fun to watch.

Maybe.................

Lanham was injured in the spring and didn't play all summer. Pretty sure he would've played a roll in this years team if it wasn't for that.

IMO could be the top "new comer" in 12th Region....foot problems hampered him this year... at 100% he is a very athletic player....love his 2 handed dunks in warm ups

Agreed.

Sure.

Yep he sure would have. Absolutely

Mercer will be rebuilding somewhat next year similar to what Lincoln and Boyle are doing this year after losing a deep and good senior class. If Trevon stays they will be fine. SW Pulaski should be the favorite next year with all other teams fairly even.
