The one thing that seems to hurt Nky teams is always size, especially against Lou. and Lex teams. I wouldnt down the talent that this area has though. When it comes to guard play, I believe that Nky has the best as a whole. Austin Hill, Duran Jefferson, Mike Hester and Todd Jacobs are elite guards in this state and all play up north. The lack of good bigmen is always a problem for teams like Holmes and Cov Cath but if they get a good one they can beat any team in the state. ( i.e. Cov Cath with Votel ) Overall the rest of the state dont really consider this area a problem but there is teams up here that can play with anyone. SK and Cov Cath for example. And if Holmes can keep their heads on straight this year than every team in this state better watch out.

True. Scott and SK leaving weakened the 9th a bit more. However in other years teams like Boone and Dixie would have no problem with Scott.

 

P.S. For a 9th vs. 10th argument, this is pretty civilized.

 

I think the 9th and 10th are pretty even this year. Both regions have 2 really good teams and 1 sleeper. 9th Holmes and Cov Cath / Holy Cross -- 10th Mason Co and GRC / Brossart. After those three teams in each region there is a drop off. I would give the slight edge to the 9th for the best overall talent.

Ballard, Male, and Jtown could beat anyone in the 11th except Scott County.

 

Open mouth insert foot...

Madison Central and Lex Cath would give all three of those teams all they wanted and probabley more.

I agree that these two teams will be very good this year. Both teams have alot coming back and played well this past summer.

 

Catholic will be better this year than they were last.

Lexington Catholic, Lexington Christian, Madison Central, Bryan Station, Dunbar. Mostly Lexington schools.

 

Add in Henry Clay and Lafayette (who won the Sweet Sixteen in 2000) to the mix.

 

The 11th is the toughest by far.

Hill, Jefferson, Hester, and Jacobs are good guards, but are any of them all-state players? The answer is no.

 

Elite guards are Beckam, Proffit, Walls, Mackey, and Anderson.

You can say what you want but to say that Austin Hill isnt an elite guard is just ridiculous. The players you mentioned are great no doubt about it but those four players I mentioned can play with any of them. If there was a top ten list for guards in this state all four of them would be on mine.

Just answer my question: Is Hill, Jefferson, Hester, or Jacobs rated as an All-State player or a Mr. Basketball candidate? The answer is still no.

 

The players I mentioned are All-State and/or Mr. Basketball candidates. Enough said.

You may want to note Beckham has verballed to IUPUI.

I dont even know where you find these rankings you are refering to. Where can I check them out? Who comes up with them? Please tell me? I do know that I have seen a few state rankings of players and Austin is always in the top 10, Jefferson is right around the top 10 and Jacobs and Hester are either top 20 or 25. And those are all position rankings not just guards. The guards we have up here in Nky are just as talented as any other areas. Louisville is stacked but our best guards can play with their best guards.

I think Proffit is overrated. Throw Beckham in there as well. Beckham did nothing to impress me when Holmes played them last year. Walls and Mackey are solid...Walls is very underrated.

Austin Hill shot through the roof this summer.

And furthermore I really dont care if they are or are not Mr Basketball canidates. Walt Allen won that award last year right? If that means that he was the best player in the state last year than im glad that they are not. That award has become a joke. POLITICS. The kids you mentioned get alot of credit because of the teams they play for. Lots of exposure and in this state that means everything. Not trying to take anything away from them because I know they are very good players but pound for pound and talent for talent our boys up north would hold their own.

Hill will get All-State mention.

I think Hill will have a huge season for the Dogs, the kid is a stud.
