westernky Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) I know last year the Republic Bank Classic at Lexington Catholic was an interesting tournament. How's that look this year? Which do y'all think would be the most interesting? Edited August 26, 2015 by MentschTrachtGottLacht Capitalization Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Standard Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Lexington Catholic always does a great job every year hosting a holiday tournament. The King of the Bluegrass always has the best in-state teams every year as well as some great out of state teams as well. Gone the last couple years and the competition is second to none. I have heard Ashland holds a nice tournament too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scribe Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Meijer in Bowling Green and Cumberland Falls are two with good fields that never get the same publicity KOB or Republic Bank get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Hard to say without seeing the fields,,but my guess would be the KOB.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westernky Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 I would think the kob would have a tough field as usual. I know its not a holiday tournament but does anyone know what the Marshal county hoopfest looks like this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoopJunkie Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 King of the Bluegrass is the best. No contest. National field. Even in a down year, it's better than anything anyone else is doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KySniper Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 The Lake Cumberland Holiday Hoops Classic in Pulaski County has typically been a nice tourney. Books 16 teams all together I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach keeps it at the top because he never rests and is never satisfied. If you have never been to the KOB, it is worthy of a bucket list if you love HS basketball.

silo11 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Marshall County Hoopfest has to be mentioned even though it may not be considered a tournament per say, nor is it all KY teams. Always has some of the elite teams in the nation along with local teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigVMan23 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Marshal Co hoopfest definitely has to be in the conversation. I think because it isn't close to the "golden triangle" most don't know the talent that comes through there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightTime07 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Just to ask again..... Does anyone know the field of the Republic Bank Classic at LexCath this year?
