I was hoping all their wins came against rebuilding programs and they were lucky to be in but since Gallatin and LCA scrimmaged a year ago I know they are for real. Might have been in summer AAU

I should correct myself, I said it was hard for LCA to get respect in Lexington amongst the larger schools, but I should have said it is hard to get respect in the All A Classic... said in a joking manner. I realize no one expects LCA to win, even Lexington Sayre just knew they were going to beat LCA in the region, after all Lexington Sayre had just come off a victory over Henry Clay, but that didn't matter when the horn sounded for them to play LCA, and eventual fall to LCA.

Funtowatch - I was trying to find when LCA and Gallatin played back during the summer, I went to the Kentucky AAU Tournament records, but LCA played Harlan, Lincoln County, and Louisville Doss, so not sure when it was that they played. I am curious of what the outcome was, as I never miss LCA play, however, I am drawing a blank about that game in particular.

I know LCA lost to UHA in the 1st round last year. How many players are back this season?

It was just a scrimmage game, between the two schools. It was held at LCA, Gallatin ended up winning all three games(F, JV,V) But it was a close game throughout.

LCA lost all 5 starters from last years team to graduation, and Tommy Huston took over as coach this year. Tommy has been on the coaching staff at Lexington Catholic for 30 years as assitant, and associate head coach, but has been with LCA now for his third year, first year as head coach. This year there are only two seniors on the team now, they are two of the first six players. Will they have enough? Only time will tell (Thursday to be exact), but they are battle ready and seasoned. This has been the toughest schedule that LCA has ever had in school history.

How do you view Gallatins schedule? Also, has Lex Cath had a program for 30 years?

First as to Gallatin's schedule trust me I have tried to analyze the teams, we just do not play teams that cross over, so it makes it hard to compare. As for Lexington Catholic having a program last 30 years ago, well showing my age but when I played basketball in the seventies we were playing them, so yes they have been around a LONG TIME, and GOOD for a long time.

GOOD LUCK round 1

On a related issue, I have to give HUGE COMPLIMENTS to Matt Buttelwerth, President, Tri State Internet Sports who broadcasts the Gallatin County games. He emailed LCA and gave them the link to the broadcast of Thursday's game for those that wanted to listen but clouldn't attend. I think this was a wonderful jesture from those in the Gallatin County area, thank you.

First of all "Welcome to the site" and second, just a bunch of good ole boys that love to have fun and hope that you do to. Want to win it all but if we don't then hope the team that beat us does.

Well I need to branch out my post's, it seems all my posts are in here. My main hope is that one of the teams in the All A wins the State Sweet Sixteen. The small schools just have the numbers stacked against them. I know LCA catches a lot of grief, as they are compared to a lot of other private schools, but trust me, we are just a small school in terms of the athletes we have available to us. I have heard it all at games, but I know first hand that these are all the same group of kids going back to middle school that are playing, just like the other small public schools.

Hold your head up. Most private schools have less to choose from than most people think. It's the 5 or 6 in the entire state that make it look bad. You have one just down the street that proves that point. Got one in eastern KY and one in western KY.

Well checking out the All A Tournament contest it looks like only one of the contestants is giving either Gallatin County or LCA a chance of making it past Bishop Brossart in the second round. Does anyone feel that either of the teams have a chance against Bishop Brossart?
