Its a joke that Austin Hill didn't make that team... he averaged almost 21 a game against the best in the state then got shunned for All tourney team and then gets snubbed for the all state team? I'm sorry but I don't beleive everyone of those players on those list are better than Hill. No I haven't seen them all...

 

Congrats to the players on the 1st and 2nd team...

Anyone know who the others besides Hill that was HM?

Honorable mention

 

Davin Anderson (Doss); Darren Ballou (Adair Co.); Rashad Basey (Jeffersontown); Kerry Benson (PRP); Nick Britt (Warren Central); Tyler Brown (Apollo); Jamie Case (Belfry); Josh Crawford (Corbin); Matthew Daniel (Rowan Co.); Jonathan Ferguson (Elliott Co.); Luc Graves (Allen Co.-Scottsville); Johonne Hamilton (Ballard); Jordan Hammonds (South Laurel); Austin Hill (Holmes); Tanner Jacobs (Trinity); Jaron Jones (Bryan Station); Jamie McCarty (Johnson Central); Isaac McClure (Paducah Tilghman); Andre Miller (Central Hardin); Victor Moses (Henry Clay); Nathan Novosel (Lexington Catholic); Spencer Perrin (Boyle Co.); Greg Rice (Holmes); Shawn Savage (Bowling Green); John Smith (Harlan); Reggie Smith (Fairdale); Trey Smith (South Laurel); C.J. Trotter (Christian Co.); Robert Troutman (Bullitt East); Justin Vitatoe (Clinton Co.); Terry Walker (Fort Knox); Ryan Whitaker (Bell Co.).

Austin wasn't one of the players who was suspended.

 

I would have selected Hill second team at a minimum.

Looks pretty good.

Hill definetley was worthy of being first or at least second team.

Congrat's to Vanhoose, Daniel, Ferguson from the 16th!

Congrats to Ferg on a Great season.

 

The 16th was well represented this year.

Another kid who easily deserved to be on first team is Shelvin Mack at Bryan Station. However, looking down the list there is not a single kid that made first team that I could take off. There are just a lot of good ball players in Kentucky this year. Lots more than most years.

Congrats to all the players:ylsuper: Great to see two 10th region players in Miller and Knowles make 1st team.:thumb:

 

I was dissappointed that Doug Boumount didn't make first team. He really impressed me the 4 times I saw him play this year.

Interesting that 5 of the players from the first team come from the Derek Smith Program, including Mr Basketball Pettigrew, along with Proffit, Van Hoose, Beckham and Brooks

I agree Austin Hill was "underrated"

Congrats to all who made the list, I think Josh Hurd should at least be listed a HM, shooting 73% from the field is very good no matter how tall you are.

Austin Hill, Jaron Jones, and Michael Sparks are 3 very good players I saw this year who IMO should have been on the 2nd team.

I think it also shows how deep the talent in the state is right now. There are so many great players! Id say its better than its been in 15 years atleast.

 

Have to agree with you there. I think KY had a lot of talent which is why it made it a little harder to select. Not only Austin but a few other players were very underrated this year. Austin is just one of the bigger examples of underrated players considering everything he accomplished this past year.

 

But once again congrats to all of the young men who were selected to the 1st and 2nd team.

First team looks pretty good. Several arguments could be made on second team.

Beaumont was on the Courier-Journals first team allstate team.

Heck Todd Jacobs deserved HM. I'd love to see these teams play. Even the HM is great team.
