    Top Players in the Sweet 16

    in KY Boys Basketball (High School)

    Posted

    Polson has Avg. 31 pts. a game the last 6 games. Saw Faulkner play in Myrtle Beach, this kid is Better and just a Jr. Faulkner is good and don't want to take anything away but Polson is better.

     

    Ethan Faulkner averaged a triple double throughout regional tournament play. Not to mention the 4 or 5 other triple doubles he had during the season. Now I haven't seen Polson play, but I would take Ethan over and pg in the state with Justice a close second. I think those are the two most pure pg in the state. They play the pg role to perfection based on what their teams needs them to do. Including defensively.

    Elliott County tops Cantrall’s first ratings.

    How could the top 5 be picked out of hat when Holmes has beaten 2 of those top 5 teams???

     

    Let's see...

     

    3-1 vs top 10

    W's- #3 Scott Co, #4 Bryan Station (both #1 at the time), #8 Ballard

    Avenged their only loss with an 18 point win over Station ON STATION'S HOME FLOOR

     

    Combined 5-1 against the 7th and 11th regions

    W's- Scott Co, Bryan Station, Tates Creek, Ballard, Seneca

     

    12-1 record

     

    I think Holmes has more than proved themselves the best team in the state. If not for an early season let down in the second game of the year, we'd be talking about Holmes being undefeated right now.

     

    2-3-4 could be picked out of a hat but IMO no way you can rank any of the other teams above Holmes when looking at their resume. Scott Co and Holmes are the only two teams to even play top 5 competition and that's because they played eachother. Until someone knocks off Holmes, IMO they are the #1 team in the state regardless of what the silly computer systems say.

     

    EC is no doubt a top 3 team in the state, but IMO the only reason they're even ranked #1 in Cantrall's, Maxpreps, and Calpreps is because of their margin of victory over lesser opponents. That's not a knock on them at all as they are clearly as good as advertised and can't help the fact that their region is down. I ask you this though; Would EC have the same record playing Holmes, Scott Co, or J'town's schedule? Think about that and you'll realize why Holmes is (AT THIS POINT) the clear #1.

     

    You could turn that question around and say the same thing for those teams you listed if they had played EC. Would thier record be as good? Now in no way am I saying that EC is better than any of the teams you spoke on. But I saying EC is a worthy opponent and is very capable of beating ANYONE this state has to offer.

     

    Now I have seen Holmes play this year. I know how good they are. I am one who believes that you can't really go wrong with either one. But the schedule thing won't have anything to do with how well Elliott does come postseason. EC has some of the best, most seasoned guards in the state. In high school basketball, you will almost always put yourself in a position to win with good guard play. You can't say they can't win close games anymore because they have obviously proved they can aganist good competition.

     

    The great thing about rankings are, they mean nothing. They won't win or lose you a game come postseason. It will all be settled on the court, which I bet is exactly what both these teams are looking forward to doing.

    Morehead State Needs Kentucky Players?

    What schools?

     

    Military Schools and Gardner-Webb.

     

    I can also assure that all three would have gotten several more offers after their play last week at the Beach Ball Classic. Evan was voted the MOP. Previous MOP's included Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett and several other NBA all stars. Things will start to heat up with Ferguson after his performance since he is the only one that is still unsigned.

    Kentucky's Top Players in the Clutch

    in KY Boys Basketball (High School)

    High School, not AAU. I'm asking what was their top clutch moment last season against a ranked/top team? When it counts.

     

    Maybe leading his team to two regional championships in a row will qualify(which are the only two in school history). Maybe he didn't hit game winning shots, but performing on the biggest of stages to me qualifies as clutch. Not to mention being back-to-back MVP's of those tournaments(first player in history to do so). Since those 6 games winners this summer, aganist some of the best in the country I might add, doesn't qualify maybe this will. I'm speaking of Ethan Faulkner.
