Shelby Valley at Raceland 02/16
King James replied to King James's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Shelby Valley has a young team that began the season starting 3 sophomores. The starting center, sophomore Taylor Newsome, was lost for the season with an injury at a tourney at J-town. The team leaders are 6'1" senior Jacob Bryant (#32), 6'6" sopohmore Ashley Hatfield (#12), and 5'10" sophomore Elisha Justice (#3)... -
Shelby Valley at Raceland 02/16
King James replied to King James's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
No. I have a nephew's birthday party today... Shelby Valley's only other game against a 16th Region team was at Ashland earlier in the season and Valley won 76-59. However, Valley was playing better ball at that point in the season than they are now... -
Shelby Valley at Raceland 02/16
King James replied to King James's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Shelby Valley puts ALOT of pressure on the other teams guards. Valley doesn't really have an inside presence, but does have a couple of slender 6'6" guys. The PG #3 creates most of Valleys offense, other than what they get from their defense. Not a great shooting team, but they do pass the ball extremely well. Are you going to the game? -
Any thoughts?

Raceland 59 Morgan Co. 54 (OT)
King James replied to STRIKE3's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
What type of team does Raceland have (size, style, etc.)? -
He has improved dramatically since last season, especially in his physical development. He is without question the quickest player in the region, the best ballhandler in the region, and far and away the best defender in the region. Slone is a better scorer than Justice, but IMO that has more to do with mentality and confidence than ability. :thumb:

I've watched Landon play since 7th grade and he is a pretty nice player, but in no way would he ever see playing time at UK. He lacks the ball handling ability and athleticism to contribute at that level. He's not a top 5 player in the state, but got some recognition from Painstville's run in the All A. On a side note... due to an early exit by Shelby Valley in the All A regional, the state missed an opportunity to see IMO the most complete player in the 15th in Elisha Justice.

Shelby Valley 72 Pikeville 48
King James replied to King James's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Shelby Valley came into this game with alot more intensity after losing the last game. Valley upped their half court pressure forcing Pikeville into 25 turnovers. Shelby Valley is a very good team when they are forcing turnovers and scoring in transition. If you can get them into a half court game they become much more beatable... -
Final from Pikeville...

Pretty impressive win for a road game... -
Paintsville 72 Pikeville 69 2OT's
King James replied to spindoc's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Pikeville has one quality win on the season and that was against Shelby Valley. Every other good team that they've played they have lost to: Dobyns-Bennett - Lost by 15 Male - Lost by 28 Trinity - Lost by 24 June Buchanan - Lost by 46 Shelby Valley - Lost by 15 Paintsville - Lost by 3 Pikeville has yet to prove that they can play with anyone good outside the 15th... -
Paintsville 72 Pikeville 69 2OT's
King James replied to spindoc's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
I'm glad to see that Paintsville won this game. They will represent the 15th much better than Pikeville would have... -

Paintsville will roll over South Floyd and await the winner of Shelby Valley/Pikeville in the finals... -
Why no respect for the 15th?
King James replied to Trojans's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
I think you answered your own question. The 15th doesn't have a great recent history in the Sweet 16, and people won't give them respect until they earn it in Rupp... -

Pike Central 60 Montgomery Co 59
King James replied to Icanscore's topic in KY Girls Basketball (High School)
I am a 15th region fan, and Montgomery Co. got absolutely ripped off in this one. The officiating was very one sided, and MC's coach was very upset for most of the game. PCC wouldn't have come away with the W if not for the officiating. -
