No votes for Penick?

Only two kids from the Louisville area?

Miller over Penick, Owens, Stallworth?

Walt Allen 6-7?

First team is perfect. Second team is VERY debateable.

Congratulations to Allen and all the honorees, but ...

 

Allen 6-7? Crutcher 6-8?

 

Who's measuring these guys?

[Mr. No Name]

If Ty Profitt is 6'4, I'm Shagari Allyene

[Fletch]

If Ty Profitt is 6'4, I'm Shagari Allyene

But can you fit your head through a door and be able to sit in a car comfortably??

If Allen is 6-7, I'm Brad Pitt ...

 

Allen listed at 6-7 is a far bigger exaggeration that Proffitt listed as 6-4. Proffitt is at least in the same ballpark.

Let me tell ya one thing... I don' t know about Allen but I stood less than five feet from Proffit and he is no more than 6'3'', and probably closer to 6'2''.

 

Still deserving though... great player...

 

I also thought Crutcher was closer to 6'5'' too... but not for sure on that one...

[steelcurtain]

I stood next to allen at the holiday inn 6'7".......Wow i'd like to have these guys estimate my bank account

[westsider]

Proffitt was listed as 6-5 in the state tournament program. Allen and Hammonds are listed at 6-4. Going strictly by the team picture, the three look to be about the same height.

 

PRP's roster listed Crutcher at 6-4.

Same place where I stood next to Proffitt... no 6'4'' there... I didn't see Allen though...

[Cubster]

Knowles from Clark might be better than any guard on the list.

Three from South Laurel?

AP based out of the 12th and 13th regions?

[ukbellco14]

Proffitt is 6'3

Allen is 6'4..... 6'5 at the most

[4chs]

Proffitt is 6'3

Allen is 6'4..... 6'5 at the most

 

How tall is Hammonds? He is at least two inches taller than Proffitt. I thought that Allen and Hammonds were both 6'4" and Proffitt 6'2".

 

Congrats to all that made the list!

Proffitt was listed as 6-5 in the state tournament program. Allen and Hammonds are listed at 6-4. Going strictly by the team picture, the three look to be about the same height.

 

PRP's roster listed Crutcher at 6-4.

I walked into the arena behind Profitt on championship night. He is probably 6'3. Allen is around 6'4 imo.
