I don't think JBS and KCC have ever played during regular season. I would guess that this has developed from the fact that until recent years this would have been the equivelant of JBS playing Riverside. Since JBS's team has improved, they have continued to not play. They were not scheduled to play this year. Again I am just guessing, but I would say that it is due to all the conflict between the two schools. This isn't your routine inter-county rivalry. When you throw the same public/private issues that we are having across the state in the mix with accusations of recruitement extending all the way down to the grade school program, the fact that Knott County is so small, and the fact that the KCC folks have all the same complaints that everyone on this board has pointed out as far as the staff at JBS goes, it makes for a very bad situation there in Knott County. And, the conflicts between these two schools extend much further than the basketball court. The adults at both JBS and KCC have made personal attacks upon each other that are just unreal. There are people over there who will hate each other for life over issues that have come up between those two schools. The sad thing is that they both seem to be passing alot of that on to their children. I don't think they should play each other at all if they can keep from it. Absolutely nothing good can come from a meeting between the two teams because it will never be just a basketball game to any of them.

It has nothing to do with the Collins kid. He has been at JBS sence first grade. It had to do with JBS winning the grade school tournament. Awoman from CCE was taken out by the State Police for talking and acting bad.

I stand to be corrected then.

Did any of JBS's players attend the Knott county system before enrolling at JBS?

Despite my dislike for the administration of JBS and how business is played out in the "little kingdom" of Pippa Passes, I have to say I think JBS will defeat KCC and a regional title is not out of the question in the coming years ahead.

 

Just for the sake of Dr. Naismith, strengthen your schedule and become a true threat. JBS could do a lot of East KY and the 14th region by scheduling tougher teams next season and the season after next and winning a few games.

You are not the only person who feels that way. We have the talent and we need to play all good teams and travel more. If they don't they may be sorry..

A boy who was related to the CCE people, came to JBS in the 7th grade. He is not playing basketball at this time. They did get mad over that , from what I understood.

I am going to assume that you are just a student at JBS, because all of the adults are very aware of what is going on between the two schools.

 

First of all, the stuff you are saying about JBS winning the grade school tournament must be in reference to three years ago because that is the last time that they won. Last year Carr Creek won and this year Hindman did.

 

Second, you are also way off on saying that the lady who was escorted out started all the problems between the schools. Three years ago, there was a lady escorted out of the championship game between JBS and Carr Creek, but the ref made a mistake and didn't even throw the one who made the comment out, and the two schools had huge problems way before that night. Everyone has a problem with JBS. I believe that during the JBS/Hindman game this year, the game had to be stopped and everyone was sent home without finishing it. That could not be blamed on the lady at Carr Creek now can it. The adult fans for both JBS and the public schools in Knott County contribute to the problem.

 

Third, are you really saying that there is only one player at JBS who left the public school system to play ball at JBS? That isn't true even of even the high school program, and you definitely are not going to try to say that it is true of the grade school program now are you?

They "have" been scheduled to play in past years. It all goes back to the year that Stepp was an 8th grader and they were undefeated and won the county championship. In fact it has really gone back to peewee games.

Brent Hall, a freshman attended Beaver Creek Elementary all of his grade school years and went to jbs this year.

You made my point for me! If this has gone on since Clark Stepp was a peewee player and the situation has only worsened every year, then why should the two teams play each other if they don't have to? In my opinion, they are both good teams and I think tomorrow nights game will be a toss up. Either team could win the game. It will be a great game that I would love to see. What I don't want to see is how the fans for both teams will act and the horrible things they will "all" say about each other tomorrow night and apparently, based on your own post, for years to come . No good comes from that regardless of where it happens, but especially not in a small county like Knott.

 

That's all I tried to say!

He went to knott Central three times trying to get in and nobody was there, so he came to JBS. ASK HIM

I am not a student and I was there when the woman stood up and said" I said it" and stood there untill they took her out.

Focus on the game or we will give it a try in thread #3...

I think that KCC will win pretty easily in this one.

Despite my dislike for the administration of JBS and how business is played out in the "little kingdom" of Pippa Passes, I have to say I think JBS will defeat KCC and a regional title is not out of the question in the coming years ahead.

That is a very fair assessment...

I am surprised that so few people think JBS will win this one. I thought that they would be the favorite but apparently not. They really need to win this game to get that big tourney game win. These are two of my favorite teams but I think JBS will win this one by 7.

Well tonite,s game may be the best game in the state. The winner gets Jenkins. JBS is athletic and has two prolific scorers in Stepp and Cox. KCC has a solid team and a good job done by Feltner in reorgnizing this group for a run at the region. JBS has lost the big man in the middle but so has KCC lost Dials. So on paper this matchup looks like a good one. But it will be settled on the hardwood. Hope all can restrain from the bad feelings and allow the kids to play this one to a finale.
