Lexi Held and Legacy made the trip to Nashville this weekend for the End of the Road Showcase. Jonathan Hemingway tweeted that LegacySportsKY and Held caught the attention of the college coaches at the event.

 

 

#PSBEndOfTheRoad @LegacySportsKY are catching college coaches attention w/ a win over Memphis Elite. PG Lexi Held (KY-18) is one to watch

Sounds like an aau game. (legacy sports reporting on playing Memphis elite). I didn't know girls were allowed to play aau at this time of year since boys are not.

Girls are granted an exemption weekend which was this past weekend........don't ask me to explain the rule.....just know it exists.

Thanks for the info. I figured they were allowed to play in a "showcase" type camp but didn't know they were allowed an aau setting/exemption.

FWIW---

 

Bylaw 9 prohibits student-athletes who have been enrolled in grade nine who then play for a school from participating in outside organized competition from the first day of school through the end of the postseason. Instructional clinics and classroom sessions, as well as individualized instruction remain permissible as only the competition aspect is restricted by the rule. Keep in mind that student-athletes who have been enrolled in grade nine (9) and THEN have participated representing as school at any level are impacted by this rule, but not those ninth graders that have yet to participate after enrolling in grade nine (9).

 

This rule, which applies solely to basketball and football, has an exception built-in for girls by the Board of Control, allowing one weekend (Friday through Sunday) where previously affected girls’ basketball players can attend and participate in organized play. For 2013-2014, the weekend that is exempt for the girls’ basketball players who would otherwise be subject to this restriction in Bylaw 9 will be released by the NCAA in August. Therefore, girls may attend events during the published weekend even if those events involve organized competition.

 

During the 2011-2012 school year, the Board of Control discussed the disparity between the allowance for the girls and the lack of an allowance for the boys. Though the exception was originally granted as a means to give the girls participants some semblance of equity compared to the boy’s April period, that April period allowance for boys has now been sunset by the NCAA. Rather than delete the opportunity for females, the Board of Control concurred with the Commissioner’s recommendation to allow the same option for boys.

Thanks again. Learn something everyday.

Love Lexi! Congrats to her. Great player! But who is Johnathon Hemingway?

My daughter attended this event this past weekend as well. She played with the Cincinnati Angels Elite team and had a great showing as well. Great exposure in front of roughly 20-25 college coaches.

And some of Sunday's games can be seen on prospectsnation.com at least for the older girls.

I hear a lot of good things about the Cincinnati Angels organization. What's your experiences? I was told they pay for just about everything for their girls vs having to pay. Is that true? if so, impressive especially given the exposure I know they get these girls and their track record.

I actually have 2 girls that will play for the Cincinnati Angels next year and they both enjoyed the experience and exposure. The Angels organization most definitely takes care of their players and puts them in a place to be successful at the next level. They have a great track record and have had some big time players come through the organization and I can only hope my girls follow in that tradition.

Legacy is the real deal! Congratulations to the team and to Lexi Held!!!

She's a tough girl. I like watching her play!

Great Job Lexi , Keep up the Hard Work ! It just takes catching that one coaches eye to make your Dreams come true! :thumb:
