Owensboro Catholic has the best player in the state, and having the best player on the floor matters. Will they beat Marion Co., or even have a chance to play them? Who knows. But Greenwell is the best player in the state, and it's wise to never count out a team that has the best player.

At her position maybe...

At her position maybe...

 

Exactly!! Amazing scorer but I know from watching both top kids play numerous times who is better all around player.

Going to classes is not going to happen.

 

They said that in Indiana too......................

You are so right and all this talk is wasted time because the KHSAA will never go to classes in basketball...never.

 

So we have it right and the rest of the country has it wrong? Being bull headed is not a good reason to stick with what you have. They ALL were once like us and changed.

 

I'd like to hear from supporters of schools with a girls' enrollment of 400 or less. The historical numbers say you don't have a chance to win state - but do you defend having a single class???

I love it the way it is, in Kentucky when you win state you've won it ALL!!! Like someone said they would rather win region than win the ALL A classic... If we go to classes at the end of the hearse all would be comparing opinions about which team could compete on the next level.

 

Now with that being said North Hardin (23-6) has more than 1700 kids, John Hardin (22-7) has upwards of 1500 kids, Central Hardin (6-19) has 1800 kids, and Fort Knox (1-27) would be considered a private school, not sure of the pop., anyway E-town has won 14 of the last 17 districts, the last 7 in a row district championships, 8 straight 20 plus win seasons, not totally sure on the region appearances but we have been in the region championship the past 7 in a row, 2 state runner-ups, and 1 state CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

 

So I really enjoy it because if you are good you are good, and if not, you find yourself looking for a way to get your foot in the door at the dance. And oh yeah our football team is in class 3A, same district as Central Louisville and we have won only 1 game in two years!!! CLASSES!!! It doesn't matter...

 

So good luck to everyone in the post-season!!! Big or little.

Football has classes and I don't hear anyone complaining. If they didn't, there would be no Highlands or NCC football tradition or championships because Trinity would win every year. Everyone OK with that?

I am just telling it like it is. The Boys' Sweet 16 is the cash cow for the KHSAA and they will not change it for anyone or any school. Just ask Stan Steidel who used to be a KHSAA Board member and he will tell you the same thing...never going to change.

Excuse me, when I said "we have only won one game in 2 years", I meant our squad is currently (1-21) on the football field, we should fair okay this season....

 

But still I agree with having "NO CLASSES" in BB.

I don't believe it. If you build a girl's program from the ground up you can have success, same as any sport. Large enrollment a help but look at what West Carter built in the late 90s and early 2000s. Not a big school by any stretch of the imagination. I know that was a decade ago but I don't think the game has changed that much.

 

They had a program. Same system with great coaching at all levels. May have to specialize in only/mainly basketball but it can be done.

Let Trinity and some of these other big schools keep popping off Boys Sweet 16 titles, and classes will eventually happen.

Jim clearly you have not seen all the players in the state play this year. While I agree she maybe best at her position she in no wise the best player in the state. She has played in 14 regular season games as a senior and it really bothers me that there is even a debate on who is Miss Basketball, plus Epps is by far the best overall player hands down.

But more classes would mean more $$$$ - more teams playing, more games to be played, more fans, more everything! It's a win-win.

 

The state of Indiana says you are wrong.

But they aren't a small public. You know how those are frowned upon.

You know what I find amazing. Everyone loves NCAA March Madness and the story of David stoning Goliath. We love that type of stuff at the college level even though we know they aren't going to win six games. Why is that different at the high school level?
