PAPA PIGSKIN

South will always be there, they are well coached and every year can shoot the lights out. Griffin is probably the best shooter in the region and he can carry them come tourney time. South, Oldham, Collins, Anderson could all win it. I lean Collins

They lose 2 very good players, but they return Feltner, Fort, McKnight, Veil, and some other great young talent. Spencer will be good, conley is a special player, the other 8th grader Whitlock will have to grow a bunch, and I don't know if any other studs they have. We all have our own opinions and that is just mine. I have no interest in any team. But I have seen them all. Watch out for anderson, they have a very good frosh and Soph class and will play hard.

Nah Spin, you don't go out enough to have one. What would you change

Tommy2ton, I agree with Collins deal. They are loaded and very athletic. I have read a crapload lately on this board and I got my own top 5 in region based on watching them all 1. Collins 2. Oldham 3. Anderson 4. Collins JV 5. South 19. Shelby

No doubt Walker Wood should be a serious contender for the Mr. Football Award. Wanted to throw his season and career stats out for your viewing pleasure. 2016 Senior Season: 3,047 Pass Yards 65% Completion Percentage 30 Pass TD's 1,321 Rushing Yards 31 Rush TD's 2013-2016 Career Stats: 8,412 Pass Yards 74 Pass TD's 4,199 Rush Yards 73 Rush TD's 100 Receiving Yards 1 Receiving TD 12,711 Total Yards TD's I had asked before the playoffs started if anyone knew of any other players in the career 60/60 Club. After the 5 playoff games this season, Walker is now in the career 70/70 Club. Im gonna guess there aren't many members. Congrats to Walker on a GREAT career and Good Luck with everything in his future.

Its always "Lafayette's classless trash talking and unsportsmanlike play" . Why do none of the opponents catch any of the blame? Do we honestly think they trash talk to themselves for no reason? Are they not jawing back and forth with an opponent or are they never provoked? 1st round of the playoffs, Louisville Butler WHOLE team left their sideline and came 53 yards to the Lafayette sideline for an encounter. Not 1 player left the Lafayette sideline. Im sure somehow, this was classless and unsportsmanlike by Lafayette too, correct? Don't get me wrong, I understand that Lafayette does their fair share of trash talking, taunting and uncalled for action after the whistle. However, why does Lafayette get all the blame? "A victory by these Generals as they now conduct themselves, sets deep mis-guided footsteps for future players to follow" is absolutely wrong in my opinion. Have you ever been around this team or these players? You will NEVER find a more classy, respectful, intelligent young man than Lafayette's best player and leader, Walker Wood. Will Bischoff, Darwin Flores, Xavier Douglas, Quinten Brown, Matthew Guilfoil along with many more of these Generals are all examples of the type of young man I want my son to grow up and be. All of these guys are very important to the success of this football program over the last 4 years. Its unfortunate that you think these guys winning is a negative for our youth.

If you are planning on attending then I would plan on getting there early. Starting around 7:00 there will be long ticket lines at the front gate. I would def go to the back gate if you get here after 7:00.

I went to "edit" and it wont let me change the title of the thread, only the content. If a mod wants to just make it "Walker Wood- Lafayette- Mr. Football Candidate" then feel free.

I know there are plenty of deserving candidates for the 2016 Mr. Football Award. Walker Wood should be a frontrunner. I want to provide Walker Wood's numbers for this season. Along with very impressive #'s for his career(including a very elite club that maybe only he is a member of?). Through 9.5 games this season(Scott Co game was called at the start of the 3rd quarter): -2,083 passing yards, 18 TD -863 rushing yards, 20 TD Career #'s: 7,448 passing yards, 60 TD 3,741 rushing yards, 64 TD I don't know the stats of every player in the history of KHSAA football, but has there ever been another player in the 60/60 club for his career? If so, then the list of members has to be short. Walker is a phenomenal football player, student and all-around teenager. Nothing but 1st class in all aspects of his life. Good Luck to him and his Generals the rest of this season. Look forward to a bright future at UK from this young man.

Sounds like to me that Scott Co was scared? Who calls a game at 10:15 Pm on Friday night?

I think that teams should not start to play until March 24th also.

It's fair until you have seen it clearly foul. You think fair until clearly foul. When the ball is over the fence, if you haven't seen it foul, award the kid with the homer.

District winners were Simon Kenton, Anderson County, Carroll County, and South Oldham. District runner ups were Grant County, Collins, Henry County, and Oldham County. The region is a Shelby County this year. Who wins?

Anderson did settle for quite a few threes, I will say that. However, not to find one single foul in one of the most fierce opening round games in the state? It does seem a little crazy. I thought they could have given Cummins many of ball handling fouls. This was one of the most heated games I've seen in awhile. Reminded me of the old Shelby-Anderson rivalry games. The fouls weren't the reason that Anserson got beat but it sure didn't help them out.

Couldn't agree more. 30th, top to bottom, is one of the most overlooked districts.

Single foul*. Not saying this is why Anderson lost bc I actually thought it was a decent called game. Just pointing out the stats.

I agree with Colonelmike. The 30th was absolutely brutal to play in this year. That was an absolute great basketball game to watch with both teams laying it all out there. Anderson surprised a lot of people this year. Interesting stat of the night - Shelby shot 29 free throws compared to Anderson's 11. Shelby shot 10 free throws in the 4th and didn't have a single could called on them.

Carson Williams could quite possibly be the player of the year. However, to say that it's, "by far" is crazy. Cummins is averaging approximately 27 ppg, 6 assists, and 6 to 7 rebounds. He has to be right in the running, if not ahead, of Williams as this points. Has had games at 51, 45, 44, etc etc. Kid is a player and is making a strong case for POY.

1A Mayfield vs Pikeville 2A Christian Academy of Louisville vs Walton Verona 3A South Warren vs Belfry 4A Highlands vs Owensboro 5A Bowling Green vs Pulaski 6A Dixie Heights vs Scott County

I would leave Franklin at 4 if South is 6 and Anderson is 7. Neither one of those play any defense. I don't know anything about Bullitt East, they may be 30 points better than Franklin or 30 points worse. However, I think Franklin is better than both Anderson and South this year.

Who is winning game 1?

A few years ago, the season started the week before spring break (March 27 - 31). Now games are starting as early as March 10. It is too soon, teams aren't ready to play, they've spent too little time on the field, and it is too cold. Time for a change.

I dont think many teams have succeeded in nuetralizing Davis without a little help from fouls. The kid is averaging like 25 pts and 15 reb or something crazy like that.

7- Eastern 5- Collins 3- Thomas Nelson 2- Central 1- E-town Eastern
