I think this thread has all but died since Friday for some reason. No one has come on to reasess thier previous posts. I guess Anderson Co has shocked some into reality.

 

I would have to agree with this statement papabeaver. I will be the first to say maybe I went overboard on coach Forrest, I still think he is a great coach and will have his team ready come tourney time. However there are others who don't seem to remember what they posted before some of these big games were played.

I could care less about "star power" or "hype", it's not what I base my posts on.

 

I'm sure Shelby is pretty good, but they won't be the clear favorite they were in 06, nor the clear favorite SK was last year, IMO. Region's too balanced this year. BTW, can you help me out with that district breakdown? :ylsuper:

 

 

I'm a genius.

 

And OY, thanks for the help with the district breakdown.

 

Another eighth region fan took care of me though so it's all good. :thumb:

I don't think a great deal of reassessing should be done. (And just so you know I don't spend a great deal of time traversing message boards about high school basketball just something I do if I happen to have some spare time around a computer; hence still less than a 100 posts in five years!). Anderson had a good win versus Shelby yet I don't think that makes them the clear front runners. I will stick with what I posted earlier about 8th and who is shaping up as contenders. The only thing I would change is dropping Oldham out of the top three and moving Gallatin in. Oldham, as I have said previously, doesn't have the talent to win the region and a 20 point loss to South just solidifies that point. Again the regional tournament is not a one day event which could hurt a team like Anderson that has to rely on a physical style game from big bodied kids. Shelby's athletes give them the advantage, albeit slight, if those two were to meet in the 8th finals. I really believe it comes down to those two teams. I am sure others like Gallatin will make a run but in the end they just don't have enough to win it.
