I'll be taking photos for the local newspaper. I'll keep an eye out for any fellow BGPers.

Dec. 9

6:30 pm Bourbon vs. Sayre (Girls)

8:00 pm Paris vs. Mercer Co. (Girls)

9:30 pm Lex. Christian vs. Lincoln Co. (Boys)

 

Dec. 10 (all boys games)

10:00 am Lafayette vs. Harrison Co.

11:30 am Paris vs. Highlands

1:00 pm Henry Clay vs. Lou. Central

2:30 pm Trigg Co. vs. Male

5:00 pm North Laurel vs. Bryan Station

6:30 pm Bourbon Co. vs. Wolfe Co.

8:00 pm Brentwood Academy vs. Scott Co.

9:30 pm Oak Hill Academy vs. Harmony Community

 

 

 

Paris will play Highlands at 10AM on December 10 and Harrison County will play Lafayette at 11:30AM.

I am going to predict Harmony will beat Oak Hill.

 

This is not as far a stretch as it may seem to some. Harmony Elite are a post-grad team loaded with D1 talent. They broke the Ohio scoring record last month with a 144-80 win over New Creations of Indiana.

 

I think I'll go with Harmony too, although I would like to see Oak Hill win it!

Is Harmony a similar type school as Oak Hill? I mean, not a traditional high school with kids from the local area, such as a county, as members, but All Star players from all over Ohio and surrounding states. If that is the case then maybe they can play with Oak Hill. If not, then there's no way.

Harmony is going the prep-school route, playing independent of the OHSAA and playing a "national" schedule. Harmony, like a lot of such programs, is taking fifth-year players who want an extra year of seasoning for academic reasons or to improve their stock. Oak Hill doesn't take fifth-year guys, but otherwise, the programs have some similarities.

Almost correct, Westsider. Oak Hill is the style of program that we at MMI are attempting to follow. Our schools do not accept high school graduates. For instance, if you check our roster we currently have 10 seniors. Maybe two of those will turn 19 this year but they have not graduated high school yet. Oak Hill have similar rules. Harmony's roster will have PG for a grade, standing for post-graduate.

I wasn't referring to MMI, Dave ... only to Harmony.

I know, WS, I was actually referring to your Oak Hill theory - I should have expressed myself more clearly. Sorry.

I am looking forward to seeing both Brentwood and Oak Hill in the same night. Now that's a treat! Hopefully Scott Co. will pull one out!

Defintely was another great show this year, would like to thank everyone that I met, some really fun and great people around the area. It was a pleasure.

I really enjoyed watching the games yesterday. Some good basketball.

Good to meet up with a few BGPers - Freak and Jim Schue. Maybe I met a couple of others without knowing it.

 

 

Thanks.

I've heard this year's version will again feature Oak Hill?

 

And I've also heard South Laurel is to face GRC in one of the games?

 

Thanks in advance to whomever can enlighten us on this.
