You reason for Jackson City being 5th and Lee being 9th?? Lee just went to Jackson City and beat them.

[Master of the Hardwood]

Seen them both play a couple of times and I just feel that Jackson City has gotten a better all around team and a better coach. Yes they beat them at home, but everyone has got an opinion. Jackson City will win their district and Lee could too, but probably be 2nd or even 3rd in their district and may not even make the regional tourney!

Lee hasn't played their best basketball at any point this season. I really don't see it in Jackson City. I think Breathitt is the better team in that district. And I have to completely disagree with the better coach statement, Danny Wright has completely turned that program around there in Beattyville and is a very good coach.

I'm right there with you bigcat. Coach Wright did an amazing job leading his team through a competitive district (going all year without a loss) and had one of the favored teams to take the 14th region going into tourney. Coach Wright coaches with a fire that excites his players as well as the Bobcat faithful - and quite frankly is appreciated by rival fans such as myself.

 

Let's not forget that Coach Wright led the bobcats to a 14th Division "All A" title back in late January before losing at McBrayer to 10th Region powerplayer, Bishop Brossart.

 

That said, Coach Hall and Jackson City had a fine run last year, of course missing playing at Rupp Arena by a mere 7 points in the 14th regional finale with perenial region power Hazard. Despite this, City went 12-8 in the region with 4 of those wins coming from District play while Lee County who returns most of their core players went 17-4 in the region; while assembling a 10-0 district record.

 

Given the statistics from last year and the fire I seen from Lee County on so many occasions last season - and the collapse of City at Estill after leading by around 20 at the end of the third quarter (given that this was the only chance I got to see them)....I'd have to notch my oppinion in the column of Lee County not only having the better coach - but having the better team.

Last years coach at JCS was Coach Lively. Hall was at Breathitt
