ACfan4 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Who will be the top teams and players next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dognation2 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 What does AC have coming back? I would have to say Taylor County...they are the defending champs. John Hardin will be top heavy with Pearson and Witherspoon; but I don't know what will develop below them. North is losing quite a bit. Don't sleep on Etown. They will have a hardened group of seniors that have taken their lumps as sophs and jr's. I don't know much about the rest of the region unfortunately.

Nathaniel Bryan Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Throw LaRue County into the mix. Younger Goode had a monster postseason. Also have King, Cobb and might get Harris back. And isn't Embree just a junior? Don't know if LaRue would win it all, but they have some nice pieces to keep them from falling far, especially with Adair and North taking heavy, heavy graduation losses.

ACfan4 Posted March 8, 2017 Author Share Posted March 8, 2017 Assuming everyone returns Adair would have Corey Melton who will be a senior back as the only starter. Anthony Payne, and Landon Carter were the 7th and 8th men this season and will be juniors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Schue Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 John, E'town and LaRue all figure to be good. Marion has talent coming back, but also has key losses. Green figures to be better. Washington Co. is on an uptick, and could have a good opportunity at a district title since everybody else in the 19th will be young. Who knows who will show up at Taylor? I'm gonna say John is the early favorite for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biscuiteater Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Ezra Oliver is the only player Taylor loses that played in region tournament. Gaines also a senior, but has been out for a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dognation2 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 This is true, and I for one underestimated the role players on that team. But I will say Oliver relieved a lot of pressure by handling the ball and bringing it up the court especially from what I saw in the region tournament.

CobraStarship Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 1.) John Hardin 2.) Taylor County 3.) Elizabethtown 4.) LaRue County 5.) Marion County 6.) Central Hardin 7.) Bardstown 8.) North Hardin Washington County on the other list at 5 was surprising to see. 1.) Mickey Pearson 2.) TreVon Smith 3.) Mark Goode 4.) Darius Harding 5.) Jacob Hobbs 6.) Anthony Witherspoon But you also have to consider some transfers moving around as well. Serious rumors already of kids leaving one school to another withi know the region.

MrKnowNothing Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 If you think that's the top 5 players-- I have to disagree.. I would have to throw Roger McFarlane in that mix as a top 5 player. Without a doubt, Pearson is the best player in region!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their JV was absolutely killing people for a stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their JV was absolutely killing people for a stretch. Completely forgot Roger, he is #2 in my opinion. Not sure how I forgot about him. North Hardin JV was loaded this season they were to physical for most JV teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrKnowNothing Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Had to make sure on that. lol. I know the other players are good ones but I had to throw his name in the mix. Not sure on them and it's always different playing in the varsity game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some serious rumors out there floating around. John and North Hardin typically gets one or two military transfers per year so you gotta see how that goes.

Biscuiteater Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Oliver is the heart and soul. He can not be replaced, but his little brother will be a freshman next year and is considered by most to be the better athlete. I think that he is more interested in football than basketball right now, but that could change. There is also a lot of hope that Q' Goodin's brother will develop an interest in basketball. He will be a sophomore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
