WOW any other good match-ups? Lother vs Gabbard?

Grote vs Justice (Fri.)??

 

I agree with you about Grote... His AAU coach says He has Greg McGraw like ability the 9th region better hope he doesn't reach that level.

 

17U Ricardo was AWESOME... Sewell is for real, Justice loved him what a competitor. ALOT OF TALENT IN THE CLASS OF 2010

 

Hats off to the organizers and host of the 2009 State Championship very well run great officiating. :banana::banana:

 

I thought Ricardo was "AWESOME" too. Pittman looked pretty good. Gabbard and Sewell are the real deal, as well as Jackson.

 

The whole DSAS team is loaded with talent. You cant say enough about the way they put that team together. Not to mention how well all of them boys play together.

 

There was a kid out of Eastern Highschool that played for the "Storm" and his names is Lionell Gaines. He is a junior to be player, that played up in the 17U division. Did anyone get the chance to see him play?

 

The Shining Stars 16's also had a good weekend. I like Gilbert, Schuetter, Pike, and Pawsett (he can really shoot it for a bigger kid) from that team. Nice work putting them together.

 

The NKY Bulldogs have 3 or 4 nice players. Stauffer, Flesch, Trammel, and Hodges.

 

WKY Elite has Josh Forrest. His name speaks for itself. 2nd rated player in the state in his age range according to some. Also another kid, dont know his name but # 30 was good.

 

Im still waiting for someone to tell us who was on that Hoyas Elite team in the 16's??? They were good.

I also thought Corrie Rogers played well against Ricardo Johnson for the DS all stars, he plays with a lot of heart.

 

Cory does play with alot of heartl. Glad to see him being able to play without the mask he had to wear after breaking his nose and sitting out for 6 weeks last season.

I would have to think Sewell and Jackson raised their stock this weekend and have to move to the top of the rankings!!

 

 

On a team with several solid players but none of the "stars" in the state, playing in a tournament with most all of the quality seniors to be, they led their team to a relatively easy championship(8-10 points or more in most games).

 

I would have to put these two in the group when talking about the top 5 seniors-to-be in the state based on this performance or else someone needs to give some of the other players(Gabbard, Evans, Flannery,Kowolonek etc) a bit more credit.

 

I was very impressed with Sewell in the game I saw him yesterday. Very athletic.

What # was Gaines for the Storm. I watched them against Team Ky yesterday.

I didnt get a chance to see his number this year. I saw him in a few tournaments last summer and read some about him during the basketball season. Seems like a good young kid and wondered how he performed with the Storm and the 17's. He is about 6'5" or 6'6". Good player.

Sorry, not sure what player you are referring to, I was there watching Team Ky. I was impressed with the Storms guard, small quick, I believe Hicks or Hickey is his name.

The Louisville Courier Journal.com is reporting that the Derek Smith All Stars 15 under and 16 under each won state.

 

They must have a couple of good teams. Did anyone see these teams today?

Watched the 16u DS team...they are loaded. Stenzel of GRC. Timmy Knipp of Elliott Co, Fant and Shanklin of Warren Central. They all play so well together.

WKY Elite played well and gave them a good game. They just weren't deep enough to pull it off, but very proud of them. Who is the DSAS coach, Very into on the Sidelines!! Does he coach anywhere? Any word on how the kid that got hurt at the end of the game is doing?

I agree with you about WKY Elite. Good team, good players, good coach. What is #30's name? Forrest is just a beast. I noticed you said they didnt go deep enough. Anyone know the reason why they split that team into two WKY Elite teams?

A side note that I left out...

 

There is a kid, I am told his last name is Hodges and that he goes to Connor Highschool. I have seen him play a few times for the NKY Bulldogs. He goes about 6'7" and seems to be turning into a nice player. He had a nice dunk against the 16U Shining Stars and played well against the WKY Elite white. I am told to keep an eye on him.

 

Another to keep an eye on is: Zeke Pike

And, does anyone know how Zeke Pike finished out the tournament? The kid had a nice game against the NKY Bulldogs and looked strong inside. Let us know.

 

 

Pike Played Good, Had a Solid tourney! He's only a Frosh but plays up a level in 16u he scored about 12 in the Semi Finals and about 10 against DSAS. He Plays his roll and is a strpng post player, can also step out and shoot some!

 

Gilbert and Pawset are also solid player along with Shuttee this Shining Stars team plays very well together and was an exciting game to Watch!

He is the assistant coach at Simon Kenton, Davis. Good coach.

 

Who was the player that got hurt???

Just found out that the player hurt was Robbie Stenzel of GRC. He took a bad fall in the semi's. He did not play in the finals, hurt his hip.

The NKY Bulldogs played tough in the tournament. I really thought the kids that played some varsity time this past season; Stauffer from Ryle, Trammel from Dixie and Hodges from Conner carried this team. I look forward to watching these 3 play this coming season in the 9th region!

Got word this morning, they took him to the hospital and he has a deep bruise to his hip. No activity for a week.

I agree these kids looked very well, but you cannot look past Jacob Flesch who scored double figures in all of their games including 18 against WKY. Todd Vollett from Ryle also plays extremely well.

In the 17U division I saw a bit of the McFarland Stars early in their game. They looked good. I didn't get to catch the finish, but I believe the Stars pulled it out.

 

In the 16U division the Shining Stars beat the NKY Bulldogs. It was a great back and forth first half, but the stars pulled away in the second. Gilbert had a nice first quarter and showcased his ability to shoot it from outside. The players of the game for the Stars were Pawsett, Pike, and Brown. They played real well.

 

The bulldogs did a great job of shutting down Schuette. Saw him score only once or twice. After the first quarter Flesch did a great job defensively on the Stars guards. He also scored a bit. Number 24 for the Bulldogs played well offensively also. Nice shot.

Good game early, big win late.

 

Decent first half but a blow out in the second half. Shining Star Sports ended up winning the game by 23 points.

 

Gilbert had 13 and Pawsatt had 12.

 

The biggest difference was the interior players. Trevon Brown of Boone County (10 points and 8 rebounds), Jake Geisler (8 points and 9 rebounds) of NCC and Zeke Pike of Dixie (9 points and 7 rebounds) had their way with the Bulldogs bigs. The Shining Star Sports big men held Hodges and Stauffer scoreless in the second half.

 

#24 for the Bulldogs, I believe his name is Barnett really impressed me. He has a nice three point shot and handles very well. I like his game.
