NKYBOY's 9th Region All Decade Team

[PutMeInCoach]

Brock was a better high school player than Neltner, he has to be in the top 8.

I completely agree, but that could be a whole new arguement.

 

I would like to throw a name in the mix that no one has mentioned yet. I believe he deserves to be mentioned if some of these other players are...

 

Mike Kannady - Simon Kenton (03')

 

Might also throw in...

 

Ben Brown - Boone County (Graduated 01 maybe)

Totally agree on both of these guys. I played a lot of ball with them both and both are great people and still friends of mine. Didn't want to say them because Im kinda biased, but they both were very very good players.

[NKYBOY1487]

Mike Brock was one of my favorite players to watch play. If I coach a big man or ever have a kid who is a big man. I would want him to play exactly like Mike Brock. He was a beast.

 

But with that said, kinda hard to put Brock on 1st team over Neltner after Neltner was Mr. Basketball in the state of KY.

By far the most talent the 9th ever had was in the 2003 season. Highlands, Dixie, and SK were all preseason top 20 that year and the team who made it out of region, St. Henry ended up being one of the best teams in the state.

 

St Henry, Highlands, Dixie, and SK were all loaded that year...not to mention teams like Holmes, Covcath, and Ryle were pretty solid too, despite their record.

 

Those teams produced the following players:

 

St Henry- Vieth (sp?), Otte, Schmidt, Fabiani

Highlands- Neltner, Gilles, Guidugli

Dixie- Jones, Bramlage, Mays, Corbitt, O'Toole Brothers

SK- Brock, Kannady, Reed, Stowers

Boone- Rasso, Laboiteaux, D. McFarland, Fox

Holmes- Englemon, Fisher, B. Smith

Covcath- Nesteide, Kennedy, B. Votel, R. Votel

Ryle- Doellman, Rechtin

 

Not all of those guys are top players, but top to bottom that is some pretty solid competition.

Well, seems like a good number of players have been mentioned. All of the ones who needed to be mentioned were, but there are a number that wouldn't even make an honorable metion team.

 

I agree VOR, would like to see a list of where most of these players ended up playing college ball.

[Walter]

Off the top of my head:

 

Brock- Eastern Kentucky

Neltner- LSU then Vanderbilt

Doellman- Xavier

B. Votel- Penn

Hill- Southeastern Illinois JC, then Illinois St (D1)

Rice- Columbus State CC

Henderson- Cincinnati St

Nestheide- Union College (?) Union or Centre

Hester- Union College

Kannady- Mount St. Joe then NKU

Jones- football at UC

Krebs- walk on at UK

Dawn- Marshall (?)

Rasso- NKU

D. McFarland- NKU

Stowers- swimming at Georgia

Sorrell- NKU

Englemon- football at Michigan

Jefferson- full ride to UK for football (never played due to off the field issues)

Nic Simpson- North Carolina A&T

Greg McGraw- Translyvania

Penick- Pikeville (?)

S. McFarland- Georgetown

 

Others not mentioned:

 

Scotty Bibbins- NKU

Brian Romes- Mount St. Joe

Kurt Bovard- Thomas More

 

If you know where anyone else attended college for athletics feel free to add to the above list.

[malachicrunch]

Walter, I'm kind of confused about Stowers. Jordan played bball at NKU. His brother Evan was an All American diver at Georgia Tech.

[MJAlltheWay24]

Kannady didnt' play at NKU, only the Mount.

 

Both of the Bramlages played at Union.

 

 

I will throw out another name that hasn't been metioned. Probably wouldn't be on honorable mention or anything, but at least deserves mention in this thread...

 

Charles Kinney - Lloyd

[Voice of Reason]

I think the list and names are getting very watered down. This thread is about the team of the decade, right? I see names being mentioned that are nice high school players but not worthy of being considered for the region's team of the decade.

For some reason I thought Pennick was Wright State. Nestheide was Centre.

[Clyde]

For some reason I thought Pennick was Wright State. Nestheide was Centre.

 

I think Pennick originally committed to WSU but ended up going to Morehead. Not sure how long he played there.

Charles Kinney - Lloyd

 

Thanks MJ, I was trying to think of his name for day or so. I knew he had played against my brother. He was probably the best of the Lloyd players in this decade.

After a couple more days I will go through and give my team. Nothing much has changed from the original team I put together. With the exception of probably adding Austin Hill.

 

Before I created a team, I wanted a good list of players to pick from. Also didn't want to leave someone else out that I had forgot about. Stay tuned!! Fun to remember some of these great players and great teams.

Pennick originally commited to WSU then they had a coaching change and he changed his mind. Headed to Morehead. After a short stint there he head to Union I believe with Mike Hester and Herd from SK. (I believe)

 

Now he's playing with Kane Belcher from Pendleton Co at Pikeville College.
