12th Region Coaches Association All Region Team:

• Aedyn Absher, Somerset
• Leek Ateny, DCA 
• Cash Baird, Lincoln Co. 
• Walker Craig, Rock
• Seneca Driver, Boyle Co. 
• Seth Farmer, Wayne Co. 
• Carson Fraley, Pulaski Co.
• Peyton Higgonbotham, McCreary Central 
• Zach Hutchinson, Southwestern 
• Ben Mikels, DCA 
• Sam Montgomery, Garrard Co. 
• Gavin Murphy, West Jessamine 
• Kendall Phillips, Wayne Co. 
• Sawyer Robbins, Lincoln Co.

Good list of players.  The one snub that stands out to me is Kole Grundy of Somerset.  I thought he deserved a spot, but all these players are deserving.

I would agree that Grundy deserved a spot.  He's the second leading scorer and top rebounder on one of the top 3 teams.

Best defender as well.  He has guarded several on the list, and has held his own.

I think the Reed kid from Danville deserved to be on the list.

Good call on Landen.  What a drastic improvement this season.  He has really played good ball.  With Peters kid coming back, they could be dangerous next week @ home!

Lincoln plays the toughest schedule in the 12th Region.

Lincoln County has played a tough schedule. But they're also only 5-8 against 12th Region teams.  So that the out of region tests haven't translated to wins against regional opponents.

Bingo.

Well deserved. Scored over 3,000 points for his career and has willed a Wayne County team that probably shouldn't be this good based on all their injuries and adversity into one of the top teams in the region.

Agree, it is well deserved.  This was an abnormal year where multiple guys were well deserving.  Most seasons in this region there is a clear cut guy.  It's apples to apples.  Personally, I would rank them: 1) Ateny (DCA), 2) Absher (SHS), 3) Phillips (Wayne) and 4) Craig (Rock).  I think the career stuff probably won out for Phillips, and leaving Wayne Co. as all-time leading scorer is impressive. 

I'll note Absher is the only player that doesn't have another "All Region Guy" on his team.  Ateny has Mikels, and Phillips has Farmer.  Craig doesn't have another one on his team either.

Really no wrong choice with any of the four.

The meeting was today. I know Danville plays Lincoln and Garrard plays KSD on Monday, then both boys semifinals are on Wednesday and the final is Friday. 

Would be nice if the good folks at Danville would go ahead and post the official district brackets. It's the job of the host school and the 45th is the only bracket in the region not posted.

I did see one posted last night but it wasn’t the official one.
