BIG hoops news: Hopkinsville has added a game against nationally-renowned program @FindlayPrep (NV) in February. Exact date/location TBD.

 

Findlay Prep is currently ranked No. 2 in the @maxPreps national poll and No. 4 in @USATODAYsports Super 25. Great opportunity for Hoptown.

Coach Haworth definitely seeks out a tough schedule, you gotta give him that much.

By rule it ain't. Either it won't get played or some special wavier has come into play.

I'm pretty sure this rule was changed in the past year to allow these type of games. At least that's what I've been told.

You are correct. It was passed at the annual meeting this past September.

Ah that makes sense. I must have missed that.

 

So, Kentucky teams can play any school now? Theoretically, Boyle County could play against Oak Hill if they wanted to?

Which is good. I never understood the reasoning behind the law in the first place.

Doesn't Marshall county have a tourney where prep schools come in?

My freshman year at somerset we played Oak Hill Academy at Somerset. That was 1987
