Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't ever remember Augusta or Deming (who used to be in this district) regularly scheduling to play Mason Co. I have also heard that this year Bracken Co. said they wouldn't play in the MCIT if they had to play Mason. So it sounds like the feeling is mutual.

Life is not always fair. It's a lesson that everyone must learn sooner or later. Bigger schools have larger tax bases therefore more money. They also typically have greater attendance at their games thus equaling more money. I still say draw and give the small schools some hope. You'll notice by my name that it really doesn't matter to me. If you look at the 38th district this year who would you seed? Deming beats Harrison and Nicholas but loses to Pendleton whom Harrison killed? How would you rank this one?

At this point, I have to say anyone BUT the royals. In my opinion, Mason County isn't playing like the #1 team in state right now with or without Keith Downing. They're playing inconsistant, taking BAD shots and not playing defense. It truly pains me to say this but sometimes the truth hurts.

Draw. It's fun for the kids in a small school to get to the region PLUS the money usually means alot to these programs. Been in one of those small schools myself and we always knew who we DIDN'T want to draw. You can bet that come next week there will be many kids praying they don't draw certain teams. It's part of what makes KY basketball special.

When is the district draw? I hope they draw anyone but Harrison Co. Reitz is as smart as they come and he has 2 players back now that he didn't have in the first game. Plus they have that all important home court advantage that everyone on this web site talks about.

I don't know if he made his family proud or not but I sure used it as a learning experience for my son and his friends.

Over the years I've many wild things and some inappropriate from student sections. But last night I saw something I'd never seen before so I thought I'd let everyone post their opinions. A Madison Central student came out in his underwear (not boxers) wearing a jock strap over the top of them. He was standing in the front making lude comments. The ref went over and made him put his clothes on. I have no idea where the teachers or administration of MCHS were and I hope that Alan Junior didn't see him and ignore it because I know his family has much more class than this. I thought that the Mason Co. kids were inappropriate with their jailbird outfits at the Scott Co. game but I believe this one takes the cake. What does everyone think?

It could very easily be Augusta's year to draw the Royals. They've been to regional tournament for the past 2 years.

Lex Cath will still have the fellow from Lafayette (sorry I can't remember his name). That kid can flat out play. You better not count them out unless he goes back.

You must have had BoQueen and Hudson tonight. They're just about the crappiest refs around. We didn't see them tonight but ours weren't much better than these 2. I feel your pain. :thumb: I think refs need more training I will say that the 3 we saw in Rowan Co from the 16th region were much better (one was a woman). It's sad that you have to leave your home area to have a game called FAIRLY and FAIRLY and consistant is all anyone asks for.

Should make for an interesting district. Is this district seeded?

I agree with the boring game statement. With about 2-3 minutes left in the 2nd quarter Coach O'Hearn pulled all the starters out of the game and told them that if they didn't want to play ball, then he would find 5 more that did. In comes Pawsat, Treg Setty, Rice, Gilbert & Hamm to finish out the half. Classic!

I would say that in the NBA all teams are supposed to be created equal since the player are paid! How can you compare that to high school teams that must play the kids that attend their school? That home court really helped the royals last year didn't it?

I like this list as well. :thumb:

Okay, everyone chill out. I know who Nanatoad is and he lives up North (not in KY) hence he listened to it on the internet. He could have very easily thought this was a final game. Don't get your feathers all ruffled up. There are still alot of games to be played this week and I'm quite sure that Jason Hinson will take nothing for granted.
