BGElite Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Jenkins was up and down the floor as much as anyone on the Jr. Squad. I don't think either of them started; as I recall, the starting lineup for the juniors was Sanford, Wilford, Middleton, Downing and Ballou. Although the juniors got out to an early 8-4 lead behind two 3-balls from Wilford, the senios scored the next 18 points. Amazing what a difference a year makes. The seniors were, with a couple of exceptions, much bigger, stronger and just more athletic. And some of that could have been tired legs also. It was pretty warm in the gym tonight as well. It wouldn't have been fair to the other juniors for Jenkins and Hood to start since they were not at practice the day before nor at shootaround today due to Elite camp.

TheSecondComing Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 What was the complete roster for the junior squad and how was it selected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer4life Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 That was announced tonight, although I can't remember the name of the JC. He looked a lot quicker getting up and down the floor than the last time I saw him, and has all the moves under the basket. They announced Shawnee Community College. I was wondering if it was Shawnee State University in Portsmouth OH. I don't think it is a community college any more but I could be wrong, or it might even be a different Shawnee.

mcpapa Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Story on the game from the Maysville paper. Looks like I was a little off on a couple of the stats; not the first time, won't be the last. http://www.maysville-online.com/articles/2008/06/09/sports/055allstars.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRETTY WARM!?!?:creepy: :fire: Shelvin Mack is such a great player. Butler absolutely got a steal in this kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ky hoopster Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 It wouldn't have been fair to the other juniors for Jenkins and Hood to start since they were not at practice the day before nor at shootaround today due to Elite camp. There were six junior's on the team that were at the U.K. Elite camp. They all played seven games at U.K. camp. Some of them played several games saturday also. All six of those players played hard but you could tell that they were leg weary by their shooting and especially on defense. I say the seniors will win again wednesday, but a little rest and some practice together for the juniors will make it a little closer! Senior's by 18.

Lion Mania Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Miller and Mack had good games, but Sorrell and Sloane impressed me. NKU got a steal in this guy. He can really score well and shoot the ball. Landon Sloane as a UK walk on may surprise people just like another walk on named Cameron Mills did. And just like Mills, Landon can shoot and score. Leonard Macon would really help the juniors battling Moses on the inside. Have watched Leonard in Summer AAU ball and he is a MAN on the inside. 6 or 7 of the Juniors had played 7 games in about 26 hours, hadn't practiced together as a team, and were playing in Memorial (some games) which was 95degrees and then the fieldhouse which was 90 degrees. I think with some rest, a few practices, it will be a little closer on Wednesday night. Seniors by 15 even with Hopson back. Heard Hopson was taking care of some academics (Summer School class). Only my opinion, but the Jr. All Star team is pretty close to what will be the Sr. All-Star team next year. My only replacements would be Leonard Macon for Downing and Ethan Faulkner for Hudson. Looking forward to a more competitive and closer game on Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KY Buckeye Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 They announced Shawnee Community College. I was wondering if it was Shawnee State University in Portsmouth OH. I don't think it is a community college any more but I could be wrong, or it might even be a different Shawnee. Shawnee State in Portsmouth has been a 4 year school since the mid-80s. If I'm not mistaken, there's a juco named Shawnee in Illinois or someplace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
