WOW To my knowledge Pugh is not even playing this year and Jayrd Crum who transferred to JC is better than 4-10 without a doubt and possibly number 3. Another thing who is Trai Witt

Seems like the 15th Region will be weak this year. Who are the top teams?

Whitt is a 6'6 senior center from Betsy Layne

Just goes to show how worthless these preseason polls and predictions usually are. I would say that the Cats Paws spends all of a microsecond researching anything about the 15th region anyways.

Seems like the 15th Region will be weak this year. Who are the top teams?

Paintsville......Johnson Central....Shelby Valley...Belfry......Pikeville..Pike Co. Central..Phelps..East Ridge.....Betsey Layne.Allen Central ........ Not as weak as the 16th

Thanks for throwing that cheap shot in there at the end. I actually played 6 seasons in the 15th region and I'll go an record to say that the good 15th region teams from the mid- to late-90's would beat all of this seasons teams by more than 10. Also, I would say that the 16th's top teams would beat the 15th's top teams this season, as well. I hope that some of them actually play to see which of us is right.

We tend not to agree on alot of things wireman, but I do agree the 15th is extremly weak this season and seems to be getting weaker, it has droped alot in the last 3-4 years.The part in Bold I agree with also, I don't think there is any doubt about it.

We haven't disagreed on too many things besides that whole Landon Donovan thing. I agree with you that he is a great player and definately the best in the 15th region. I just don't know if he's top 5 in the state when you consider the Lexington and Louisville areas.

 

The Paintsville or Magoffin County teams of 95 and 96 would have thumped the region's best during this next season. Also, that is when Elkhorn City had Todd Conley and Marin Mindolovich, Shelby Valley had Matt Baker and the Damron boy, Allen Central had Jeremy Hall and another good player that slipped my mind, Prestonsburg was tough, Belfry was tough, Pike Central had the kid that scored 50 points a couple of times, Johnson Central had Salisbury, and on and on. There were also some great 15th region teams from Shelby Valley and Paintsville between 97-2000, as well.

Your right we really haven't disagreed on a whole lot now that I think about it. I still respect your opinion on those things though.:thumb:

 

I think when those seniors in the region in 2003 graduated the Individual talent level started going down and has went down every year since then. Prior to that the talent really didn't a whole lot from year to year. In the mid to late 90's the top teams in the 15th could have played with about anyone in the state, and really they did..Some of those Paintsville teams you mentioned actually knocked off some top rated teams in the country. They had some big talented teams back in the day.

Oh, believe me, I'm well aware. They took the district and regional championship right out of my hands. When I think back though, it would've taken a perfect game to beat those guys. They were like 6'2", 6'1", 6'6", 6'8" 6'9" for the starting 5. If I'm not mistaking, they had like 4 eventual division players (Brian Lyon, Craig Ratliff, Todd Tackett, and J.R. VanHoose - and Josh McKenzie to boot) on that team and Bill Mike at the helm.

Allen Central had Jeremy Hall and another good player that slipped my mind

The other player that your thinking of is Probabily Thomas Jenkins. He went on to play at Morehead State and then transfered to Pikeville College to finish his career. He had a great career up at Allen Central. If I remember correctly wasn't Magoffin as big as Paintsville height wise when Paintsville was starting a 6'2", 6'1", 6'6", 6'8" 6'9" Lineup. I remember "Big Country" James Howard was like 6'10 and had he some Battles with VanHoose down low, and it seems like they had a kid who was about 6'6" who played for them as well.
