February 1, 200818 yr What happen to Pouncy? First time poster, long time reader.... I wanted to add some clarity to the question at least 5th, 6th and 7th grade. In NKY, the teams that will compete at state are: 5th Grade: NKY Wolfpack (coached by Moeves, used to coach the NKY Nets) They have 3 good players in Moeves (strong guard), Noah Robinson (can play any position on the floor) and Brennan Stanley?? - This kid has turned in to a beast on the court. He reminds me of McGovney at this age. I have seen him play on the 6th grade Wolfpack team a couple of times as well. NKY Hornets - With Hoge and McDonald, they have a solid 1 -2 punch. After those two players, it will be interesting to see this year how the other players step up. 6th Grade: NKY Wolfpack (there are 2 teams, the one coached by Geiman - he coached the Kings for the last couple of years, is pretty solid) They will have a tough time beating the Central KY Warriors or the Tarheels, but they are a solid #3 or #4 team in the state. They have 2 solid guards, Garrett Geiman and Tanner Moeves, who can score from 3 at will and get to the bucket with ease. They have beaten the Louisville Truth (quick and athletic) and the Scott Co. Wolfpack (They have a stud 5'10" post player). The Wolfpack lack a quality post player. NKY Tarheels....what else is there to say? Brandon Hatton is a stud, along with McCormick and Jalen Avery they are tough. Beal is a strong presence on the court as well. It will be interesting to see how they perform without Pouncy on the bench. 7th Grade Wolfpack - One word - Stacked! McGovney (who is arguably the best player in NKY at U13 - probably in the top 5 at state), Michael Mallott and Nick Brown are tough. Add to that the new kid Meiman and they are quick, athletic and can put up 60 to 70 points per game. They lack a floor general. Ben Uebel is servicable in that role but size may be an issue. I really don't see any other good teams in NKY. I haven't seen the Warriors (Rockets, Spurs, Chargers, Pirates) play this year. They typically are competitive and aggressive. Last year at U12 state DII, NKY had 4 teams in the final 8. It will be interesting to see if that holds true for this year. That will be tough to duplicate. This year will be another fun and exciting year of AAU basketball. As I heard Qryche once say, I look forward to spending more time with my other woman as well - bluegrasspreps.
February 2, 200818 yr What happen with Pouncey and the Tar hEELS Nothing happened with Pouncy. He spends more time ref'ing. He does alot of d2 and d3 college games. He spends alot of his summer attending camps. He still helps coach but he doesn't do it all the time now. There is no 7th grade Tarheels team, just 6th grade.
February 2, 200818 yr Who plays on the Magic? I have never heard of them. What county(s) are they from? I would think you have to play in an AAU state tournament to be considered the best AAU team.
February 2, 200818 yr The best 6th grade AAU team, is the Magic from Southeast KY. I have never seen or heard of this team??? Who have you played? Who have you beaten? The NKY Wolfpack would like to play you.... Where are you guys playing your games??
February 2, 200818 yr Question what does it cost to play in a weekend tourney these days? Depending on where you play, $100 - $250 for 3 games guaranteed.
February 2, 200818 yr He might be referring to the Corbin Magic which have about a 6'4" center and about a 6'0" foward. If they had a little better guard play they would be hard to handle. They are dominate in the half court.

They are dominate in the half court. If that's them, I've watched them get beat handily a couple of times. Their 6'4" center is slow with no athletic ability and a transition game makes him useless and the 6'0" forward is similar but even more clumsy. They only dominate in half court if they get the ball on the block. Their guards usually can't get the ball to them on the blocks. I would like to see them enter the AAU state tournament!
February 2, 200818 yr I agree... if they have picked a guard or two they could be a nice team. though.
February 3, 200818 yr Tar Heels just asked the NKY Warriors to push their game to 3:30 tomorrow as they are in the BCI championship game at 2pm. Anybody know who they are playing?
February 3, 200818 yr Tar Heels just asked the NKY Warriors to push their game to 3:30 tomorrow as they are in the BCI championship game at 2pm. Anybody know who they are playing? That's forward thinking on their part. They have to play the NKY Wolfpack at 10. They didn't have Quentin Snyder or Zach McCormick (broken hand) yesterday and almost lost to 5th grade Knights. Nky Wolfpack lost to South Laurel's 7th grade (not 6th) by 20 and beat Fleming Co 6th grade by 25. It should be an interesting morning.
February 3, 200818 yr Fleming County's 6th grade team did not play this weekend. It must have been the 7th grade team that got beat by 25. While showing improvement, the 7th grade team is not considered as strong as the 6th.
February 3, 200818 yr Fleming's 6th is much better than their 7th. If Burns is the point guard you are playing the 6th.... good luck today agaist the Tarheels.
