Great field for this year's King of the Bluegrass: Bullitt East, Ballard, Trinity, Madison Central, PRP and last year's KOB defending champ out of Nashville seem to lead the field.

 

Should be some great 1st and 2nd round games.

Full field:

 

Trinity

Hopkinsville

Apollo

Bowling Green

Bullitt East

Ballard

Butler

Collins

Fairdale

Madison Central

Pleasure Ridge Park

St. Xavier

Christ Presbyterian (TN)

Philadelphia Electrical and Technology Charter (PA)

Mountain Pointe (AZ)

Brooklyn South Shore (NY)

 

Early pick, nothing to back it up, I'm taking Ballard.

I'll take Madison Central.

King of the Bluegrass Holiday Classic | Fairdale, KY

Somebody started the rumor that the KING OF THE BLUEGRASS was moving to the new gym at Valley High School. That will NEVER happen. This is a Fairdale community event and I don't know how this got started but it has spread across the state.

Didn't spread everywhere across the commonwealth...I have zero clue what the "King Of The Bluegrass" is. :confused:

ditto

Marquis pre-Christmas tournament at Louisville Fairdale High School.

Coach Longacre is first class and they have a great tourney. It's a privilege to be asked to play in it. The top teams in the state are typically invited. Maybe that's why NKY guys don't know much about it. (sorry, couldn't resist:p)
