Rose Hill beat Elliott. Congrats and good luck in Richmond. I happily concede the number 1 ranking on BGP to the Royals. Enjoy the target. I believe Elliott has had a great season and will give the Royals a pretty good rematch if that opportunity arises.

I was feeling kinda blue this morning, then I logged on to BGP and went to this thread and read it from the beginning. I tell you, if you want a good chuckle, just start from scratch. These "rankings" wouldn't, as my momma would say, amount to a pimple on a hog's hindend. I'm sure that Boyd would rather be ranked in the middle of the pack by some yet still go on that winning streak they're on. I'm sure that Elliott would gladly trade the top spot for a ticket to play in Richmond this weekend. I'd guess that East would happily trade #2 for a favorable draw in the district. And although I'm somewhat new to posting here, I've read for sometime when I could about 16th region basketball on BGP and I've come to the conclusion that all these polls amount to is an opportunity for folks to get a few rabbit punches in on the schools they like least. Good luck to all of the teams and I hope they all are healthy and ready to go when districts come around. As for the pollers, I assume they all will remain ill.

 

Only in America, baby!

No doubt. These rankings generate comment but don't really mean squat. Elliott never was considered #1 last year but went to Rupp. Wonder which one they would rather have!:creepy:

I don't see how it is ill to rank the teams as you see them. But this is America and you are entitled to your opinion. It would be more interesting to see where you would rank all of the teams than to just criticize everyone else who bothers to try.

In actuality young fella, I think you did a good job with your poll for the most part. But to think that some rankings here are anything but veiled potshots at rival schools is on the naive side in my most humble opinion. But as Roy Jones, Jr. once said in the press conference after his first loss, "those low blows took their toll". So, you see, I will wish all of the teams good luck.

Without a doubt some potshots are taken on here. Most of them not veiled at all. I'm not that naive. Some of us do try to take an honest shot at it though.

 

Thanks for the "young fella" reference. Even if it is only young at heart.

I'll take a stab at it:

 

1 Elliott County

2 East Carter

3 Bath County

4 Rose Hill

5 Fairview

6 Raceland

7 West Carter

8 Boyd County

9 Morgan County

10 Ashland

11 Rowan County

12 Lewis County

13 Fleming County

14 Russell

15 Greenup County

16 Menifee County

 

 

Russell in front of Greenup?... Greenup is playing better ball, had Fairview on the ropes in the 4th... they play Russell Friday so I guess we will see

I don't consider picking up the win a problem.:banana::ylsuper:

 

 

Picking up a win wouldn't be a problem, you are correct.

 

I think you misunderstood me. Rose Hill struggled to hold Elliott, that being Elliott's worst game. Again, 1.Elliott 2. Rose Hill.

OK I see although quite a few said Covington Catholic was there worst game but you know when throw up that many threes you are bound to get beat by the good ones. Maybe they (Elliott) should try a new approach like posting up or something and then maybe they will start beating quality teams instead of just running the score up on the less talented teams.:thumb::banana:

I can see them saying that about the Cov. Cath game at the time. Being it was played

almost a month before.

Y Russell in front of Greenup?... Greenup is playing better ball, had Fairview on the ropes in the 4th... they play Russell friday so i guess we will see

 

Because it's an opinion poll and that is his opinion. Doesn't make it so, just makes it his opinion.

 

All that matters is what they do head to head and that looks like it will mean even more starting next year!! :thumb:

Ok, fine. If it will make you feel better, we'll swith Russell and Greenup :thumb:

I'm going to try a different approach. I think there are four groups.

1. THOSE WITH A LEGITIMATE SHOT TO WIN THE REGION: Elliott County, Rose Hill, East Carter;

2. OUTSIDE SHOT TO WIN: Bath County, Fairview;

3. COULD PULL AN UPSET OR TWO, BUT NOT THE WHOLE THING: Ashland, Raceland, West Carter, Boyd County, Rowan County

4. NO SHOT: Russell, Greenup, Morgan, Menifee, Fleming, Lewis

 

The teams in each group are in no particular order.

Hey this is a good apporach to let them know about the teams . :thumb:

If Elliott should play quality teams, and Elliott likes to play "in region" teams, then please (RH) help quell all this talk next season. Let's actually have a Rose Hill/Elliott (regular season) game NEXT SEASON!

 

I have often wondered why the regular season matchup between the two schools ended a few years ago. Elliott would schedule RH...heck they played in the days when many other schools in the region boycotted the Hill.

 

PLEASE --LET'S PLAY REGULAR SEASON!
