The best team won it. PLD was fun to watch all year.

 

On a side note, I thought the officiating in this game was really bad. Worst of the tournament.

Congrats to Dunbar. They were by far the best team in the state. Very deserving champions. Doss is also a very good team. The two best teams played for the title today.

My preseason pick...congrats Dunbar

Worked with Coach Chalk way back in his day at Frankfort. Congrats to him and the Bulldogs!

Got to see Dunbar twice before the state tournament, both losses. One vs Trinity in louisville and once vs New Albany (Ind.) But I could see their talent. Hollingsworth really stepped up his game @ Rupp this week. Huge improvement from what I saw early in the yr. Let the hype for him winning the '17 Mr basketball begin.

Interesting side note; Dunbar wins the kentucky state title and New Albany plays for a state title on Saturday. The game in frankfort in early Jan. was possibly a matchup of the two state champions. I doubt that has happened recently (if ever)

Best moment of my life!!!!

A Big Thank You to Randy and PP92 for all of the updates it was great to get the updates on the games I was at!

I also thought Mercer County was as good as any team in the tournament (outside of Dunbar, although they played them tough). It's a shame Dunbar and Mercer met in the first round!!

Congrats Dunbar and their fans. Played a tough road to win it. Very deserving.

I think this solidifies Hollingsworth as Mr. basketball as well. He was the leader the whole way.

Best moment of my life!!!!

 

Congratulations to coach Chalk and coach Moore, they've done a nice job since coming to Dunbar.

You could argue that Dunbar's last 6 games were against the next 6 best teams in the state. I doubt any champion has ever had a tougher road.

It is what it is. I don't see Mercer County beating BG but that's a whole other thread.

The top bracket was brutal.

Congrats to Dunbar in finally winning it!

You must not pay attention to these boards. Cole Von Handorff was named Mr. Basketball for 2017 in 2014.
