Two NKY-Based AAU National Champs!

[UKlover123]

Heard the Ky Royals won the AAU D2 national championship - 8th grade boys! In addition to the NKY Legends winning the 7th grade... That's an amazing showing for nky basketball. Some good players must be coming through the nky schools soon! Congrats to both teams.

Have the Mackes determined what high school the boy will attend?

Spencer will be attending Holy Cross

[RCC9]

Why? Why not HHS... where he's gone all his life? What about his sister?

[Trainhard]

Sister is going to holy cross also ... The reason why is mom don't have no say so and hhs won't let them play up to the Jv or varsity level as middle schoolers ... Control issues !!!!!

Is this the same Dontaie Allen that goes to Pendleton, and played Ky State D-I with KYWA Magic? Isn't there an AAU rule that basically says a D-II team cannot add a player from the roster of a team that qualified for the D-I Nationals? And, since KYWA Magic won D-I State, and they played in the D-I Nationals, wouldn't he have been ineligible to play with Royals. Again, this assumes that it is the same kid. I don't think there is any special waiver or release for this type of situation.

Apparently not.

Congratulations to the

NKY Legends 13u D2 National Champions. And

NKY Royals 14u D2 National Champions.

Good luck in the future no matter where you or your siblings go to school.
