Most recently at SK, I'd say the biggest add was Casey Sorrell. Losing Cody Monson hurt us last year.

Phillip Roberts at Scott brought more athleticism to an already athletic team. Gave them a 2nd big man over 6'6". Huge impact. Most of all he was fun to watch. Start this video at the 1 minute mark to see Phil receive and finish a nice alley oop.[video=youtube_share;M7c5Z1TJtO4]

Some schools that would come to mind over the past 20 years (went to my first state tourney that I could remember in '98, so here's a starter for some of those years):

 

School - Player (Last Year Played @ School):

 

Scott County - Rick Jones ('99)

Fort Thomas Highlands - Derek Smith ('99)

Moore - Carlos Hurt ('99)

Lexington Catholic - Demetrius Green ('01)

Rose Hill - OJ Mayo ('03)

Caverna - Boris Siakam ('04)

Henry Clay - Aaron Dunaway ('04)

Should be some interesting answers from 14th Region fans....

Newport- Demarko Foster (09/10)

 

Single handedly beat Holmes in the 2010 9th region championship after Holmes had beat them by 18 and 10 during the regular season.

 

Holmes was going for 4 straight 9th region championships that year and 5 out of 6.

Knew I was missing one of the NKY ones when I was going over them in my head.

You could include Brandon Housely to Holmes from Newport as well in the 08/09 season. Although he didn't start, he was a huge piece to Holmes during their state championship run.

A few more

Scott Hundley, GeLawn Gwynn, Dakota Euton, Austin Flannery, and Chad Jackson, and Trent Gilbert - Scott Co

Vinny Zollo - GRC

Tyler Jones and Brian Wallace - Montgomery Co.

Christian Cunningham - Henry Clay

 

I'm sure there are many, many more.

What definition of "transfer" are we using? KHSAA version meaning kid played varsity at one high school and then transferred? If so, Derek Smith doesn't qualify. Or are we saying the kid didn't live in the school district he played in? Or both?

Casey was a nice player but he didn't have the high school career of Mike Hester whose family lived in Hebron.

If we use the "didn't live in the district" then HHS' would seem to be obvious - Scott Draud. 2600 points.

Cooper - Didn't AJ Collins' family live in Boone's district?

If we use the "didn't live in the district" then HHS' would seem to be obvious - Scott Draud. 2600 points.

 

Was too young to remember him, but have heard the legends. Even more impressive is that the 2,600 would be much higher if there were a 3 point line then.

Where did Roberts play prior to Scott?

Personally, I don't consider it a transfer unless it is a player who had varsity experience moving from one school to another.
