KBA Middle School State 7th Grade Jan 26-28

[BigHawk]

KBA has 7th grade tournament in about 3 weeks, interested to see who is going and who people think have a shot at it this year. Last year was very competitive with North Laurel winning by 3 over North Oldham in Championship game. Looking at PrepKYHoops the teams last year in the hunt were as follows:

 

Elite 8: North Oldham, Conner, N Pulaski, Chavies, N Laurel, Corbin, Mason Co, and Crosby

 

Final 4: North Oldham, N Pulaski, North Laurel, and Mason Co

 

Champion: North Laurel 55/North Oldham 52

[UCME]

IMO- If all players are back and didn’t get moved up N.Laurel would be the favorite-

N.Oldham and JCTMS have a real shot to challenge N.Laurel..

 

Dark horses If bracket falls right -Westport, Conner & Crosby..

Why don't more NKY teams play in this?

Why don't more NKY teams play in this?

 

Kenton county teams are not allowed to participate per central office.

That's really a shame, do not know their specific reasoning (curious to know) but it is a fantastic experience having gone through it with my son. We never really were a powerhouse, but did make it to Elite 8 one year and was an unbelievable experience. For many of these kids it is as close as they will ever get to something equivalent to the HS Sweet 16.

Kenton county teams are not allowed to participate per central office.

 

What does that mean. Central office ? Who is that ? Why Kenton county ?

[UCME]

Kenton County not alone, Boone County discourages also!! I believe Boone County allows two tournaments total and anything else needs to be voted on by the board! This stems from a rule that doesn’t allow the schools to play on Sundays unless there is boardd approval!!

. It’s very unfortunate because there are several good teams in Northern Kentucky that don’t get the chance they deserve!!

MS 12th region at KBA this weekend teams/results included:

 

Rockcastle, West Jess, S Pulaski, N Pulaski, Bate, and Lincoln with S Pulaski winning over Lincoln in championship. I think most of those teams will be at State
