Basketball season for 2015/2016 should provide another exciting year. What should we expect from Fern Creek. Remember, please be constructive.

One of the favorites in the Sixth Region. Quality players returning plus some transfers. Could be a really good year for the Creekers.

I can only think of one transfer (Wickcliff from Ballard) that will be on varsity playing in the rotation, but he could fit in nicely helping to replace the only starter who graduated playing the post position.

 

With 4 returning starters led by senior Tony Washington who averaged nearly 15 PPG and three sophomores (Ahmad Price, Anthony Wales, & Trey Hill) who started as freshmen with each averaging nearly 10 PPG you have experience that should increase production. There are many other younger players that will see varsity action after having one of the better JV teams in Jefferson County so there is depth and competition in practice that is seldom seen at many high schools. It will be interesting to see if they can get Coach James Schooler his first 20 win season as a Head Coach.

Wickliffe was who I was thinking of. I should have said transfer (singular), not transfers (plural).

Understood, many schools have the good fortune of striking it rich with multiple transfers, but more importantly is the quality of who may transfer in. I think Wickliffe could be a really good one with a diverse skill set for a big body like he is. If he gets in tremendous condition and plays with a nasty streak, look out for him.

I follow Ballard and I have no idea who this guy is?? Fern Creek plays as hard as their coach teaches. They need size badly.

I really like this Fern Creek tho. They have some young players and may be a year from really competing at the top level. But if they continue maturing this year, they can make a run in the region. I really enjoy watching them play when they are on their game.

They played hopkinsville to a 2 point game at the Toyota Classic at hopkinsville last year.

If they return most of that team and are bringing up good young kids they will be very tough this year

Was a freshmen at Ballard last season and likely did not play any varsity basketball. Does bring some of the size you refer to as a need. He is about 6'5" and looks like he would make a good football player with his big body. He will play many minutes and could even start potentially.
