King James

Final from the 15th Region All A championship game...

To me, the future of the 15th looks even worse than the present... The junior high ranks are the worst I've seen them in years.

Final from the semi's at the East Ky Expo Center...

Shelby Valley is still nursing a few injuries and would need to be at full strength to even get to Elliott County.

Hazard is capable of beating Elliott IMO.

I was just curious about scheduling for different schools. Shelby Valley for the season (not counting the All A or State) will have 8 in-state out-of-region games and 5 out-of-state games, for a total of 13 non-region games...

Alot of you haven't seen him but Elisha Justice from Shelby Valley is up there. He is on pace to set the all time steals record in the state of Kentucky, and I feel safe in saying that he has as good of handles as anyone in the state...

This one was never a contest as Shelby Valley started the game off on a 17-0 run...

You may be correct. Also, youth was probably somewhat of a factor. They do have a pretty athletic bunch.

I find Henry Clay's scores surprising after watching Shelby Valley beat them by 37... They must have had a terribly off night. This is an impressive win for them.

Tate Cox from Knott County Central is a nice player also...

Pike Central 17 13 16 10 56 Shelby Valley 23 25 31 24 103 Pike Central (3-11) -- Thompson 14, McCoy 11, Gross 9, Mead 2, Charles 4, J. Mead 5, Reczinek 2, Tackett 4, Seal 2, Luster 3. Shelby Valley (11-4) -- Justice 17, Bryant 9, Hatfield 16, Ta. Newsome 12, Varney 8, Adams 9, Ty. Newsome 10, Tackett 10, Robinson 4, R. Roberts 3, T. Roberts 3, Barkley 2.

IMO, it has alot to do with Justice and also that SV gets everybody's best shot in the 15th, and unfortunately SV just doesn't seem to bring much intensity within the region.

As I said.... "Using Dave Cantrall's ratings from 1/4 here is how the State All "A" could play out"

Here are Dave Cantrall's 10 Ten All "A" Teams as of 1/4: Elliott County 85.9 Shelby Valley 81.0 Hazard 75.1 Glasgow 70.0 Covington Holy Cross 69.2 Newport Central Catholic 69.1 Russellville 68.2 Beechwood 67.8 Lexington Christian 67.6 University Heights 67.1

Using Dave Cantrall's ratings from 1/4 here is how the State All "A" could play out: 1st Round: Edmondson County vs.University Heights Bardstown vs.Lexington Christian 1st Region Winner vs. DeSales Glasgow vs.Hazard Bishop Brossart vs. Middlesboro/Pineville Whitefield Academy vs.Elliott County Shelby Valley vs. Gallatin County Danville vs.Covington Holy Cross 2nd Round: University Heights vs. Lexington Christian DeSales vs. Hazard Bishop Brossart vs. Elliott County Shelby Valley vs. Covington Holy Cross Semi's: Lexington Christian vs. Hazard Elliott County vs. Shelby Valley Finals: Hazard vs. Elliott County Champion: Elliott County

Elisha is back playing and has been for the past 5 games, but is not near 100%. I doubt very seriously that he will be 100% by the All A. Without him at full strenght they are a totally different team.

The way Shelby Valley is playing right now Elliott would win by a landslide...

Final from the first round...

Pitiful performance by Pikeville. Bart Williams doesn't have the program in very good shape right now...

This is Phelps first loss of the season. They fall to 8-1, but their schedule has been extremely weak...

He played a little and took another fall. He shot one left handed hook shot. The shoulder must still be bothering him quite a bit because he usually played 30+ minutes in big games. If he is unable to contribute much, they will stand very little chance of doing well. The other players are capable, but are playing out of position.

Team ball isn't needed to beat South Floyd... they are terrible. Corbin should win by >30.

I posted the link where I got that info, but it was removed...
