If a church group did buy it, expect it to go bye-bye as far as youth basketball and AAU events. I know Shirley Cunningham, the lawyer from Lexington who is in hot water with authorities over the phen-phen, was a part owner. I assume his troubles had something to do with a sale. If basketball goes away, it will be disappointing. There is nothing in Central KY that compares. Of course, Louisville has kind of taken over in the state for AAU and youth basketball, with MidAmerica Sports Center and Hoops. A 3rd place -- called Basketball Academy -- just opened.

I'm actually not from the Southern KY area, I just watched the middle school state last year and loved watching Southern Middle play....They have a heck of a motion offense....They gave Georgetown Middle -- who was much more athletically gifted -- a tussle in the semis due to that offense.....

Southern Middle 8th should be one of the top teams in the state, with the twins leading the way.....Although a post in the boys basketball forum said they may get a look at the JV-varsity level....If that happens, their stock will drop....
