Kentucky teams traveling in July

[Lion Mania]

As an example of the level of competition the DS team is facing out there, the Grass Roots Canada team is in the Semi-finals tomorrow, after beating Team Philly in the quarter-finals. Team Philly beat Indiana Elite to get there.

Team Philly was beaten at Morgantown Jamfest by the DS team. The Las Vegas Prospects are also in the semi-finals and they beat the DS team in Cincy it takes five by 2. Hard to compare scores, but it gives you some idea of how well this DS team has been representing the state and the strength of their schedule. Somebody quoted Pittino as being "surprised" that a Kentucky team could beat the Canadians. !

These boys have "represented":thumb:

 

Thanks for the info--SHOOTER. You Elliott County fans should be proud of the job FERG and Ethan and Evan have done this summer for the DS Team. They have represented Elliott County basketball around the country against the best of the best. They have proven to everyone around the country that they can excel against the best. These three young men have people around the country going to Mapquest to find where in the heck is Sandy Hook, KY. Once they find it they probably are scratching their heads and wondering how not one but three outstanding players all come from such a small rural community. They are putting SANDY HOOK on the map and their work still has one more season to complete.

 

SHOOTER--Good luck in Los Angeles and keep us posted on the results. What day and time is the first DS game??

Heck, coach Pitino got to see the Seattle "pipeline" of Siva, Wroten, and Smith, 3 top 25 players nationally go into box and chaser defense against the Kentucky Gators before Seattle Rotary Select one of the country's best teams came back to pull off a nailbiter win against another Kentucky upstart squad and Jenkins. So yep, I would say Kentucky's talent has repped well this spring and summer.

Play IEBP Sunday at 1.30 at Loyola Marymount. Don't know what to expect at this time of the year. Last tournament of the season, some teams are road weary and ready to quit. Will be interesting to see how our kids respond

Grass Roots Canada was the overall champion of the Addidas Super 64 in Las Vegas yesterday beating Derek Favors and the Atlantic Celtics in the final.

Grass Roots only loss in the tournament was to the Derek Smith All Stars

from Kentucky.:thumb:

Ds wins a fairly ugly game over a pretty good IEBP team. Ethan Faulkner leads in scoring with 14 followed by Jon Bevins with 10.

Next game tomorrow at 11.30 pst

DS 16s went 3-2 in Vegas, losing in the tournament in an OT game to New Heights, who is the premier team in NY and Jayvaughn Pinkston (UL and UK both looking at him) plays on the New Heights team. DS 16s had the game won and then New Heights tied in regulation on a last second shot. DS16s were down to 7 players for the game and ended the game with 4 on the floor due to 2 fouling out and 1 out with an ankle injury . The guys showed a lot of heart. But they were spent for the OT. New Heights went on the be the runner up in the tournament.

Shooter congrads on the win. A win is a win. Keep us posted. By the way, was surfing around on ESPN Recruiting Insider where it list the top 400 players or so in the Class of 2009. Ethan was listed as the #79 ranked PG in that class and graded out at 64. Richie was the only other DS player from KY listed and graded out at a low score of 40 (horse-hockey)?? Jon Bevins also made the list. Ferg, Evan, Leonard, and Andy not on the list of players?? Overall KY had 11 from that class on the list including Hood (#100 in the ESPN Top 100 and #21 rated shooting guard), Ballou, Penny, Sykes??, Crawford, Ethan, Strange??, Cox, Jenkins, Jones, and Richie.

 

Players not on the list: Evan, Ferg, Middleton, Sanford, Wilford, Macon, Donovan, and Collins among others. Ferg is not one of the top 100 shooting guards in the country?? Horse-hockey!!!! Any thoughts??

Thing you have to consider is that there are a lot of good shooters across the country .I've been to most of the AAU tournaments this summer and there is a lot of kids out there that can flat shoot and play. I'd think Ferguson and Wilford would be up there .Never did think much of nationwide stats anyway. I read the stats for the state of Ky in the Lex Herald, and I'm sure half the schools don't even send them in and a forth of the ones that are sent in are fabricated. I know this to be the truth.

If I am not mistaken those listings are associated with Rick Bolus and Blue Chip.

You're probably correct, I don't put much stock in those ratings.

The cardiac kids strike again as they overcome a ten point defict inside ten minutes to beat a good team from Sacramento area. Ethan Faulkner sparked the defense and made some big shots and Richie Phares hit two big free throws with 4 secs left in double o/t to put the ds all stars over the top.

Leonard Macon and Andy Donovan were also in double figures as the Ds all stars once again figure out how to win the close ones.
