Regarding Dynes and whether he belongs on that  list of best players in the 8th Region.....on one hand, I like the idea of not simply looking at points per game (which we all do to an extent, understandably), and acknowledging that you can impact the game in a big way doing other things besides scoring.  And he definitely impacts the game.  On the other hand, that said, I wouldn't rank him on that list, or at least not above Green and Roberts (I can't comment on Johnson, haven't seen him yet this year).

Well said, if you look at these players in a “draft perspective”, I don’t think Dynes would go before any of these players. You are looking for someone to lead your team, and I’m not 100% convinced he’s even the best player on his team….

Krohman is the straw that stirs the drink for SK.

All true.  And the things in the first part of your post have caused issues with teammates.  How big?  Not sure.  Max takes a ton of shots, and that includes some bad shots.  You might look at that and say, well, he needs to be doing that on this particular team.  And you might say, well, could they be better if he were a more constructive teammate and shared the ball more?

Slippery slope reporting unsourced gossip about issues with a  specific teammate and the root cause.  Whether intentional or not, and despite trying to be subtle, some of your Oldham posts seem very personal and agenda driven as it relates to  Max.

I'll be more careful then, cause that ain't cool.  (And no, nothing personal at all, just repeating what I've heard - but as you say, that's a dangerous slope.)

There is a big weekend ahead for the 8th! There are a couple games huge for the 8th region, and I will highlight my biggest ones. 

Spencer County at Anderson County: This is a big one, and can shake up a lot of things in the 30th District. If Anderson was to pull off the upset, and Collins were to win, then I believe that if my projections are correct, would give Anderson the #1 seed (because they beat Collins). Can they bounce back after a shocking loss to Trimble County?

 

North Oldham at South Oldham: There is nothing better than a good-old Oldham County rivalry on a Friday night. Luckily, we have been blessed with one each Friday night for the past few weeks, but this will be the last one of the regular season. With a win, North Oldham would clinch the #1 seed in the 29th District, and get an automatic bid into the regional tournament. Can South shoot well enough in their home gym to give the #4 team in the state some trouble? 

 

Collins at Woodford County: So far, this is the biggest game of the season for Woodford County. They have struggled this season, but if they were to pull off this upset then they would be right back into the race. Collins has been consistent all year, can Jasper Johnson and company bring that to a halt?
