October 25, 201015 yr I know Mason County's 7th grade girls won the ovc conference championship this year!The 7th grade boys might very will be one of the best every come through Mason and thats saying a lot..They are loaded...
October 25, 201015 yr Ockerman 8th grade boys will be tough to beat. Gray 7th graders look good, too. Thad Moss is a boy giant for the Gators. The girls from Twenhofel won the 6th and 7th grade NKMSAA championships last year, looking to repeat as 7th and 8th graders. Wonder if those girls are involved in AAU or does Twenhofel have a really good program? 6th grade try-outs are widely attended by new middle schoolers, but the numbers are MUCH smaller for 7th and 8th. 30 to 40 for boys? Less than 20 for girls? Depends on the size of the school. Some girls teams don't get enough trying out to field a team - have to borrow from lower grades. Kind of sad.
October 25, 201015 yr My preseason picks for the NKMSBL are: Boys 8th - Ockerman (They will go undefeated! Their only test will be Holmes.) As I've stated before, Stanley is the man in the 8th grade division. Holmes has the only chance at a win in this division over Ockerman. Boys 7th - Gray (Highlands or Campbell could pull the upset though). Moss can be dominant. Highlands or Campbell have talented squads that could pull upsets, however, I question the coaching ability at Campbell to beat really good teams. Boys 6th - Highlands - A lot of height and skill will be on this team. They will be bigger than most school's 7th grade squad. All should make for an interesting year of hoops! Anyone else like to give their picks???

I know that Campbell County beat them as 6th graders last year in the Camel Classic. Did they add some players or just grow a lot??

Anyone else like to give their picks??? Who is the height/skills on the 6th grade HMS team that you speak of? I know of no one with any real size unless someone has moved into the area recently. You make no mention of Turkeyfoot or Blessed Sacrament in the 7th grade division and yet they were the two teams that advanced to the finals last year. Highlands 8th will be a pretty good team again this year if Hoge plays 8th grade and the addition of Laine Harrett from Turkeyfoot will be an improvement to the squad. There is some depth on this team, but not a lot of height. Tryouts are this week for the 6th and 7th grade teams and next week for the 8th grade teams.

I could be wrong about the HMS 6th grade just an observation of the players. I don't think Harrett gives HMS 8th enough to be competitive with Ockerman. The development of Moss over the summer was pretty significant. I saw him play several times this summer and his game grew by leaps and bounds. Should make for an interesting and competitive season. Who knows, I'll probably be wrong on all my picks by the end of the season?????

October 26, 201015 yr Did any of the 6th grade Highlands kids play AAU last year and if so with who? A handful played AAU together at SOAS. They are not big and should be competative but far from the team to beat. Tryouts are this week. IMO 7th grade HHS has height!!!!
