No shot. They will probably go to the regional tournament, but they will be the worst team there. They are good for an 'A' team. They are well coached and are disciplined. They have no chance to go to Rupp Arena.

 

You can't count out a team this early when season hasn't even started. I def don't think they are one of the premier teams this season representing the 8th. But they do have a shot, just depends on who gets hot in March.

1. Owen

2. Shelby

3. North Oldham

Anybody who doesn't have Anderson Co. at the top is fooling themselves.

From the vibe in this thread there will be plenty of hotly contested games in this region during the season. Should make for some exciting games and a pressure tested regional champ come March. All good things for the teams of the 8th.

Your saying Owen is better than the returning Region champs and Anderson?? Owen may not even be the best All "A" team let alone best team in the region...

I think Owen has a legit shot at winning the region this year. You all can laugh and think its crazy, but it wasn't so crazy last year when Gallatin did it was it? Shelton is a good player, but I think Gamble is there best player by far. He is a playmaker. I don't think they will win the region, as I think Anderson should win it, but anything is possible and I think Owen is good enough to make a run.

 

Also, my sleeper player is Cody Hinkle from HC. He is a really good post player and I think he will blossom this year. Also watch out for Connor Jeffries of HC, saw him this summer and he has improved greatly. I am not saying they are the top players in the region, but deserve some votes for top 10-15.

Agreed. Gamble averaged 19 a game and was the focal point of the opponent's defense every game. Also, Henry County cannot be overlooked. Hinkle is back, Jeffries was coming on late last year and can get to the bucket well. They manage to stay in games, particularly at home.

Keep in mind that while Owen is bringing back good players, other schools in their district and region are returning good players as well. The 8th has several teams that have a lot of Seniors.

 

Hinkle was good last year and has a shot of being the best player for HC this year. But, he was the best player for a bad team. a team that lost to Grant Twice and Williamstown. Losses to Carrol, Spencer, and Trimble. The best player for a weak team does not create success.

Agreed, but I think that Hinkle has improved and has gotten a lot stronger from football, and I really think Jeffries will suprise a lot of people this year. He is a great athlete. I look for HC to be vastly improved this year. remember, in 05 HC was 3-24, them in 07 they were 19-11 with some quality wins. I think Holland is an excellent coach and finds ways to win games. I look for them to suprise some people this year.

I'm sure HC has improved a lot. But when I compare them to other 8th Region teams and what they bring back I don't see HC surprising too many people. IMO. When you look at what teams bring back from last year GC (Grant) brings back better/just as good than anyone.

I agree. I dont think they are going to be winning district or regions or anything like that, but I just think they have the potential to shake things up a bit this year. A couple of big upsets and they will compete in every game.

Does SK bring anything or anyone back? I know they lost a ton of seniors last year!

(sound of crickets)

 

:sleep:

 

I'm also interested in knowing about SK...who's coming back for the 'neers?
