Mark your calendar: Ky Prep Classic

 

One of the top one-day events in the state again this year will be the 17th annual Kentucky Prep Classic, which will be held Jan. 10 at Montgomery County.

 

The four-game slate feature some of the best talent in the state.

 

The opening game pits Jeffersontown and top junior Aaron Cosby against Madison Central at 4 o'clock. J'town is slated to be one of the top five teams in the preseason, while Madison Central is one of the top teams from the tough 11th Region.

 

Anderson County and top senior C.J. Penny will meet 16th Region power Elliott County at 5:45 p.m. Elliott County is led by Evan and Ethan Faulkner and Jonathan Ferguson.

 

Madisonville and UK commitment Jon Hood (left) will meet South Laurel at 7:30 p.m., while Montgomery County takes on Manual and top senior Jacob Jenkins (right) in the 9 o'clock night cap.

 

Eight former state champions played in this event the year they won the title.

This will be an awesome day of basketball..

Could be in Mt. Sterling all day for this one..

 

Some of the best in one day..Way to go Ira for putting this on and bringing it to a wonderful facility..

I will try and make this one. Great day of basketball.

Yes it will be a fun day with some talent on the court. Montgomery County has a large beautiful facility, but I still liked the days when they held it in the Frankfort Civic Center. 11th Region tourney used to be played a lot in the Frankfort Civic Center. Seems anymore that the Frankfort Civic Center doesn't get used for much of anything and especially no HS Basketball.

Frankfort Civic Center is much better than EKU Alumni Coliseum where the acoustics are terrible. Heck even Memorial Coliseum is much better than EKU's gym. I wish the All A was played in Memorial or FKT Civic Center vs. EKU. Maybe just me, but many of my friends feel the same way. A terrible basketball facility. They also used to have the KY-IND All-Star series in the Frankfort Civic Center. I know--off subject some how so I'll stop.........

I'm thinking the All A will move up north soon.

Are you thinking the BOK Center?? Haven't seen it yet, but must be a 900% improvement over EKU's Alumni Coliseum. Would be a 60 minute extra drive for me, but that would be just fine with me. Have heard it is a great facility.

I thought BOK had bid for this last year???

Yes. The birthplace of the All A is Northern Ky. It would be a natural move to be here. The BoK is far and away the best facility for it.
