Faulkners would start for any team in the state!!

 

I ask you this then...

 

Who would they replace in following lineups:

 

Holmes

Scott Co

Bryan Station

J'town

Folks, before we go any farther, we won't tolerate anyone flirting with a rule #2 violation. Let's make sure we keep the discussion civil.:thumb:

I'll put my vote in for Ethan and Evan as the best duo in the state.

Faulkners would start for any team in the state!!

 

I don't think so. They are superb guards in the 16th. The season is long and they should have their chance to prove something down the road.

Actually both Riley and Johnson have taken over 30 shots this year each in 6 games.

 

BTW, Riley dropped 20 on Ge'Lawn Guyn and was 6-8 shooting in that game... I'd say that's drawing the opposing teams best defender....

 

Sure the Faulkners are averaging 36 ppg combined, but how many shots combined are they taking...that has a lot to do with why Elliot scores so much because of how many shots they take a game.

 

18.4 per game combined which is about 9 each. :thumb:

Whoever is the guards there now:thumb:

Good luck to all of the players being mentioned in this thread. Hopefully all at some point or another will have a chance to prove themselves on the big stage in March.

:lol::thumb:

 

Hope to see you guys in March.

Two best guard combo's I've seen are Jackson-Guyn and the Faulkner twins. And I've seen most of the combos listed.

I say good luck to all of them to. The Faulkners have already proven themselves and both are already signed for a college career. This will be my last post on this also:banana::thumb::walk::dancingpa

And with that, I'll let this be my last post on this issue.

 

and then there was post # 53. I wonder if the %'s were for real???

It seems that people are getting upset that others are making arguments that are not in support of the Faulkner's. It's not like Eta is saying "the Faulkner's play in the 16th region, therefore they are no good." This is not an example of everyone showing disrespect to the 16th region or EKY in general. Some people just happen to think that there are others who are as good as the Faulkner's.

 

Personally, and I am sure that Eta would agree, I find the Faulkner's impressive. They live up to very high expectations and perform night in and night out, and have been doing it for a few years (I think????). Also, I think that it is for the better that they are with Elliot County- the system seems to fit them well and allow them an opportunity to really improve their game.

 

However, this thread is about the best in the state, and people are making legitimate arguments about other players- many of which are followed by something to the effect of, "I don't care what anyone else says, I still think they are the best." If that's the case, then what's the point of the thread?

 

None of us have infinite knowledge on KY basketball, and level of competition is sometimes the only ways to see how good these players are (in comparison to others) I'd like to hear the Elliot County people tell us how these guys played against top players around the state (specifically, with matchups and as much data as possible). I'm not trying to be rude, I am actually curious.

Somebody said that to be a good guard you have to do more than shoot 80%.

 

To that, I will respond: "Not if I'm the coach."

and then there was post # 53. I wonder if the %'s were for real???

 

The % numbers were real (I can vouch for Eta's credibility) and I am suprised you would infer otherwise.

 

Also, I'd like to say that 36 ppg on 18.4 shots (the numbers you gave for the Faulkners) is impressive for anyone.

They have played 40+ games a summer for the last 6 years all over the United States

against highly ranked players and the whole bit and have always been winners.
