I saw where Oldham is in the King of the Bluegrass in December. What information is out there on them. I know they are well coached and won there region last year but what do they have coming back for this season.

Great Point Guard in Eric Dunlap and Great Forward in Billy Payne. They will be pretty solid this year.

Their team was pretty young, if I recall. So they should be the favorite to repeat in the 8th. I'll know more when I see them in a couple weeks.

Dunlap and Payne should be a good 1-2 punch.

Always pretty good with Gary Forrest.

Its easy to be good in the 8th Region.....IMO the second weakest region in the state, hands down.

It's easy to be good in the 11th Region when you have an open border policy regarding possible " incoming prospects"....IMO.:sssh:

What school in the state does not have this policy? If a stud wants to transfer to your district would you turn them away?:walk: Back to the point, are you agreeing with the fact that the 8th is the second to last (wont use the word worst) region in the state?

I totally disagree about the 8th Region being 2nd worst region in the state. Whether it is or not is totally irrelevant to this thread. I am an 8th Region fan, but could also care less about where the region "ranks" in the minds of other folks.

 

Your school won the State Championship last season because it had the most talent, period. Not because they "outworked" Oldham Co. or anyone else for that matter. Don't misunderstand, Coach Hicks does a supurb job with his kids, and they play extremely hard.

 

By the way, what have you done to contribute to your school's success?

Thanks for asking, I build basketball talent on a daily basis.

Waterboy, you are way out of line here. The 8th Region is deeper than any region in the state. I would put Williamstown, Owen County, Spencer County, South Oldham -- teams like that -- against the top teams in any region.

I do not doubt that you coach or "build" basketball talent, and I am sure you are very good at it. Let's get back on topic.

Oldham County is going to be grand, who will be their biggest competition in the 8th? What does Oldham's schedule look like, and big tournaments?

Biggest competition? In no particular order: Anderson Co.,Shelby Co., Gallatin Co.,Simon Kenton, South Oldham,etc...

I have not seen their schedule.
