Scott County 85 Lexington Christian 65
Rainman11 replied to PurplePride92's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Three of the worst officials in the region assigned to the same game. Knew I was in for a long night when I saw them walk out. -
X The only reason Highlanda wants to see lighting is so they can get on the bus and go back to Ft. Thomas. I seriously doubt they would be interested in starting over and taking another beating. I am shocked at the score but knew nothing other than Hoghlands tradition. But it looks like a varsity vs a JV team on every play. Not even competitive.

Justin Miller commits to Kentucky Wesleyan
Rainman11 replied to PurplePride92's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Looks like Happy is taking all the instate talent! Bosley (Central), Johnson (Wofo), Manning (Scott) and Miller. Hope they can make a run this year with the conference getting an automatic bid now to the D2 tournament! -
Kyle Gullett Commits to Transy
Rainman11 replied to 15th Region's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Hines Jones of Scott County going to Transy as well. -
Exactly right on not being a D1 recruiter. When I said Centre or Transy, I was basing it off 3 times I saw him. One of those times, he only took 1 shot from the field against Scott County and really didn't look for his shot that night. That wasn't a performance of a kid I thought could play D1. Not upset I was wrong. Good luck to the kid.
-
Not going to debate his prospects as I only saw him play 2-3 times this year, but from what I saw, I think he can have a great D3 career and there is nothing wrong with that. For the kids sake, I hope he goes wherever he wants -- no matter the level.
-
Centre or Transy would be a great fit.

Mingua Brothers Beef Jerky actually makes some of its Jerky with the Grippos seasoning and its pretty widely available in most of Central Kentucky! http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5125/5301410675_1507610d8b_z.jpg

Hagen Tyler Decommits from NKU
Rainman11 replied to Wireman's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
I love MidSouth basketball, but none of those teams are beating a top OVC team any year. And, I agree, there have been some good teams in NAIA, but D1 is a different level. Are there players who would do a great job for the best OVC team, no doubt. But, on a consistent basis, night in and night out, MidSouth teams don't compare at spots 4-8 where a 16-game conference schedule is decided. -
Hagen Tyler Decommits from NKU
Rainman11 replied to Wireman's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Tyler played a heck of a game against Ballard, particularly shooting the ball. It was the best I have seen him play. But, having said that, D1 is a whole different ball game at the highest level. I agree with some other comments about the Mid-South being strong, but most of those kids are at that level because they couldn't make it at the higher level (I know, some are for character reasons). Can Tyler play at D-1 level -- that is not for me to judge. The thing about anything in life, you only have to have 1 coach like you to get a scholarship. The way I look at it, no matter the level, if mom and dad don't have to pay for the education, that's all that matters. Because players like Tyler are most likely (of course, you can never say never) not playing basketball at a competitive level in five years anyway. On a side note, I have heard a lot this year about Tyler being sick during games. I hope this isn't an epidemic and we can see the real Hagen Tyler healthy all the time. -
No matter what rule you come up with, it will affect some. But, in my opinion, when they changed the rule, they should have made it starting 2015 with the lowest age group and grandfathered everything else based on the old rules. Too many relationships already established on teams and not right to force changes to be made.

Sometimes the other team is simply - I applaud you for this thought. Too many Boyke County fans blamed every loss they had on something other than that. It was either they were tired or someone was sick. It is great to finally see the perspective that Boyle actually can be beaten for other reasons. They had one of those seasons that don't come around often and the fans should recognize that and just be happy. Sadly this board was full of Boyle County fans that didn't get that. While they had a nice team this year, I doubt it was the start of a 12th Region dynasty. But congratulations on a great 2014-15 season!

Let's throw the first meeting out the door. No way you can expect a team to have to play 3 straight nights then have to play Catholic. It just wasn't fair for Boyle County. Plus, Hagen Tyler was sick and that is worth the 18 points Boyle County lost by without a doublt. This go around with a healthy Tyler, Boyle County should win this by 6-8 points. Look for Tyler to go for 30+. He wil be the best player on the floor and Catholic will have no answer.
-
Tyler is definitely the best player to come through Boyle. Has to be in the conversation ever for best player in 12th Region history. And, after making those 2 free throws to win against Lincoln County, probably need to look at him as the one of the most clutch players ever in the state. I could go on and on about how great this kid is.

Did NCC have a successful season?
Rainman11 replied to dallaslaredo's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Couldn't agree more. I would say Trinity thinks the didn't have a successful season and NCC sure shouldn't. Regular season is much easier to play then the post season and unfortunately for them NCC (and Trinity) proven the last 2 years they aren't a good post season. I also say UK will say they had a disappointing overall season if they don't win it all. These statements may not seem fair, but success should be judged by the post season for the top programs. -
Who's headed to Nashville for the SEC next week?
Rainman11 replied to Rainman11's topic in BGP Break Room
Thanks for the great suggestions! Looking forward to it. I have had Edleys BBQ and its great! Also I have had Bolton's Spicy Chicken once on the way to Florida...that is not very good travel food, it was great! Go Cats!! -
Any suggestions on places to eat, etc? Going down with no tickets but hoping to luck into some!!

We will have to agree to disagree because in my opinion any coach worth his weight understands the only book that matters is the official one. It's like when fans go crazy when the scoreboard is wrong for a couple of seconds, they don't seem to realize scoreboard is not official only the official book is. I just don't think Boyle has anyone to blame than themselves. What is in the Lincoln book doesn't matter. If the Garrard official scorekeeper used the Lincoln book from last game then shame on him if he didn't have Boyle double check. But Boyle should always have a plan to double check no matter what.
