Didn't Rex Chapman win the "Sweet Sixteen", his Senior year??

 

 

I think Apollo made it to the state tournament in 1985, his junior year. That was the year Hopkinsville beat Clay County in the finals.

 

Owensboro won the 3rd Region in 1984 and lost to Clay County in the first round. That was my first state tournament.

No, but they are the only "TEAM" from the 9th Region, to ever win the State Championship!!! and I really just wanted to give these athletes some credit!!! Do you think they deserve it???

 

Sure they deserve it . However, it doesn't quite fit in this thread.

But they were all, great individual athletes, they had to be or they would'nt have won the "Sweet Sixteen".

What about Jack Jennings, Dickie Beal, and Doug Schlomer, from the Covington Holmes Bulldogs. They were some great high school players!!!

Dickie Beal was good- he graduated after me - but there also were other great supporting players for the 3 years in the late 70's that the Bulldog's rocked the house and the 9th Region.

But they were all, great individual athletes, they had to be or they would'nt have won the "Sweet Sixteen".

 

I must have misread the title of this thread.

I remember watching Moose play. They were very few players that could stop him and they didn' play in this state. He was tough.

Moose had his jersey retired at Emery Riddle (sp) College in Florida about two years ago. That is an aviation and aeronautics school, and Moose was on one of the first teams they had. He still owns several records there. He also has several records in the All A Classic state tournament. One is the 115 points he scored in 4 games in the 1990 tournament, the year that Owsley County lost to University Heights in the championship game. Moose was MVP of the tournament that year even though the Owls didn't win the final game.

Moose is now an airline pilot for United Airlines.

The Shelby Valley area is Todd May!!!

Justin Doleman was tough for Ryle.

Alvin Sims - Paris

Corey Williams - Bourbon County

Daniel Brown - Nicholas County

Come on 9th region. I am a Sk fan but I will throw these teams and names out there .. Walton Verona .. Poore, Benton. Dixie..Joe Stark also I remember a Dean Fookes sp?? Beechwood ..Gooch any others?

How about John Turner from Newport.

Robbie Padgett from St. Henry also had great success at Embry Riddle. I believe he's the all-time leading scorer there...or at least was.

OK, for Walton I'll throw out John (Frenchy) DeMoisey.

Adolph Rupps 1st recruit(i think), All American, and 1 of 36 (i think) players who have their jersey retired at UK.(played in the 1930's)

With in the last 25 years at Walton, I'd say Johnny Anderson or Scott Benton.

Justin Doleman was tough for Ryle.

 

Yes, very tough.

From Walton-Verona, John "Frenchy" Demoisey. He was Adolf Rupp's first recruit at UK, captain of the '34 cats, and also an All-American in '34. Of course, I was not around to see him play, but, from some of the stories from the old-timers around Walton, it was amazing was he brought to the game in his time.
