The winner of the expected Bowling Green/Scott County tilt is my pick. It's basically the only speed bump for either on that side.

 

The likes of Fern Creek, Ballard, Hoptown, and Cooper will be tough outs from the other side, but most of those will have terrible battles to go through.

Is this the team to beat next week?

 

Also, how awesome will a Bowling Green/Scott County matchup on Friday afternoon be (provided they both win on Wednesday)?

 

They won't play until Sat. night if Bowling Green wins on the 15th they will play the winner of Perry Co. Cent./Pikeville on Friday afternoon 3/17 at noon. Scoot Co. play the winner Scott/Harlan Co. at 1:30 on Friday.

Remember, the KHSAA adjusts first round game times.

Zion Harmon: The 8th grader for BG is perhaps the best the state has seen in many years. Don't disregard these strong words until you hear me out. First, I unfortunately agree that he probably won't be a Purple for the following 4 seasons. I hope I am wrong but probably not.

 

I will let Dragonfire and all the smart people figure out his numbers (% from 3...)but let me share what makes him on a playing field by himself.

 

Ball handling: By far his number 1 trait. Almost every night, the opposing team will put a chaser on him. I assume the person they put to guard him is their best defender. Zion's most impressive stat is probably one that no one looks at. His turnovers (or the lack there of). His dribbling is as good as you will see. Rarely does his teammates even help him get out of a press because teams cant get him to stop his dribble. I'm talking dribbling behind back, legs and through opponents legs without turning the ball over.

 

Shooting: I would venture to say his percentage of shooting from the field is as good or better than most guards across state. I know he is top 2 or 3 free throw shooter in state. I would also think that his % from 3 is near the top as well. Again, remember - best defenders guarding him (probably jrs and srs) and Zion is not even in High School yet.

 

Defense - He holds his own. Never in foul trouble. Smart, Makes plays when needed. His guy he guards will hardly ever be the leading scorer of that game - if ever

 

For you that have seen BG play you know that their other players are very good HS players. He may not win Mr Basketball but Terry Taylor is very good. Deangelo Wilson is a guard that any team would love to have. They have other support players/shooters that make them a dynamite team.

 

NO one is saying it but Zion is states best right now. Yes, I know I am a Purple fan but think about it. Who else in the state is nationally rated very high in their class? Who else has as many D1 offers than the 8th grader right now? Who else has played against competition like Zion has played across the nation the past few years? You may or may not agree but you have to at least consider the fact that this kid is that good.

 

He may lay an egg at Rupp (I don't think so) but if you consider all he has done on the floor this year, taking the fact that he is still a middle school player, I say again. I don't think the bluegrass has ever seen a kid like this. Alan Houston? Ranked #1 in his class - not sure.

 

I know we cant jump to conclusions because he still has 4 more years to play (wherever that may be) but watch where he goes in 4 years and track his performance in college. I think in 6 years or so he will be in the league.

 

I am probably too high on him but here is my thoughts:

 

He is as good as a dribbler than Tyler Ulyss (Shoots better than Tyler right now). Huge complement!
