Aren't you forgetting something my boys have already beaten West by 14 we should be above both West and Somerset.

 

Your rankings would have a great deal more credibility if you didn't keep refering to East Jessamine as "your boys."

1. Lincoln Co

 

2. East Jessamine Boyle Co.

 

2. Somerset West Jessamine

 

3. Wayne Co. Southwestern

 

3. McCreary Pulaski

 

4 Mercer Garrard

 

 

Very close region. Lincoln is the best team right now, BUT The team thats get HOT at the end will play at RUPP

I have seen McCreary, Wayne, West, Pulaski, Southwestern, and Lincoln play. Lincoln did not have one of their best players (out with broke arm) but they are very strong they have a kid on the inside thats about 6,1 or so but he plays so strong on the inside. They did not shoot the ball very well but they cut and slash to the basket and pass the ball very well. Wayne both times i have seen them play shoot the ball very well. They shot the lights out at McCreary Central the other night. Just about every player they have can shoot it and they have great composure to be a young team with great ball movement. Southwestern is a scrappy team but they seem to be kinda up and down. I would like to see them play again before i make many statements about how good they are. Pulaski has the potential to beat any team in the region. I have seen them play 6 or 7 times and they are really immpressive when they play team basketball. When they go to the big kid Dixon inside and J. Perkins waits for his shots and doesnt try to take over games with one on one play they are really immpressive. They had Lincoln down 10 the other night and fell apart. T. Perkins tried to take over and really hurt their team. McCreary has been struggling of late playing very selfishly and not as a team. If they can come together and start passing and running their offense they are a very strong team. Watts is the soul of that team and when the others admit that he is the one that will take them to the district/region and start picking thier shots when they are there and quit forcing to try to make the paper by scoring they will be extremely tough to beat. Again that is a big maybe! West is a very quick team with not a whole lot of size but they move the ball well and seem to hustle after every ball. Overall I feel as if this region is wide open with the team that comes on late will be the overall winner.

 

Again its anyones region to win or lose!

I agree 100%, RaiderFan.

 

Phillips and Watts are the two scorers for McCreary, and when they start playing like a team, they're tough to beat.

 

They chopped at 22 point lead to 11 in the fourth, but lazy play led to easy Wayne baskets. They're going to have to "play" before they'll win.

 

It will also be tough if they play Wayne in the opener, which is likely to happen, because the tournament is at Wayne this year.
