Christian Co will be preseason top 10 with what they return. Hickey is very underrated at the Pg position. Very quick and athletic and rebounds well for his size. Veontae (SP?) Lewis will join him in the backcourt and is another solid contributor. The keys for CC will be Wilson and Kates. Both have D1 potential and Kates is rapidly rising on the recruiting scene for his class. If they both consistently play to their potential, CC will be very tough statewide. They should be back at Rupp this coming season and with the right draw could be playing on Saturday.

What players stood out today from each team?

What were the results from today?

How'd the KY Players do in the rest of their pool play games?

I doubt very seriously he tries to dodge Holmes. That will become the new biggest rivalry in NKY over the next few years IMO.

Who will Cosby be playing with? He's another one that plays for an out of state program.

I meant Guyn and Euton have been playing with OBC some this summer. Not Zollo...my apologies.

Guyn and Zollo have been playing with OBC this year as well. Both played for them in the King James Classic a few weeks ago.

Who will Zollo, Guyn, and Euton be playing for? All three play for out of state AAU programs.

Bryan isn't one of the best all around players in the region. He is one of the better offensive players, but I still wouldn't consider him top 10. He is forced to score the way he does because his team isn't very good, hence the amount of shots he takes per game to get his numbers.

From what I heard, the final 5 candidates were: Goetz, Key, Feldman, Kelley, and Flynn. Interesting...no Schumate or Carr. Can anyone confirm this?

See the late 80's, early 90's Holmes teams...that's what Flynn brings to the table offensively.

Both players signed today at 12:30. Here is a little from Ryan Ernst blog: Holmes senior guards JaMel Riley and Brandon Housley will sign with Cincinnati State at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday according to Holmes coach David Henley. Riley, the Bulldogs' starting point guard, and Housley, the team's sixth man, helped lead Holmes to the program's first state title this season. Riley, a member of the all-tournament team, averaged 10 points a game and shot 41 percent from 3-point range. Housley, one of the team's top defenders, averaged seven points a game. Henley on Housley: "He's just one of those guys who worked hard every day at practice and made himself better. He didn't put up huge numbers, but it seemed like he always made big plays when we needed them." Henley on Riley as a possible Division I player: "It depends on if it's the right situation. In a program that likes to spread the floor and penetrate and pitch to shooters, he could fit in."

The official announcement is supposed to be Friday...but I have a gut feeling that it's Kelley from Lafayette...he seemed to be the best fit for the available teaching positions. There's a booster meeting tonight...FWIW.

Seneca lost one senior. They will be tough next year.

Fair enough.

So would you consider Trinity as the second best team in the 7th next year? IMO Male will be preseason top 15. I just don't see that with Trinity.

Not on the same level as Male or Eastern though IMO.

Earls is MAYBE top 7 or 8. Popp...very doubtful he's one of the top 6-7 players in the region. He's in the 10-15 range IMO.

I doubt very seriously he'd put up 30-35 on a team like Holmes, Boone, Highlands, or even possibly someone like Ryle or Conner. He's a very good D3 player though and is hands down the best in his conference. I just wouldn't call him a top 10 player in the region.

Pretty sure it will be used for state championships only.

Hoop Dreams...Mike Terry of Rose Hill also plays with them. Not 100% sure, but I believe Dorsey of J'town is playing with them as well.

Correct...if you read the entire article, it states that it will for sure be used in state championships because of how games were decided in South Carolina, Michigan, and Ohio (Mt. Notre Dame-Lakota West).

Sam also plays football. I doubt he ends up at Holmes, but you are probably a little closer to the situation and know more about it than myself. Not that it matters, but didn't Sam play AAU ball with the Holmes boys last year in the state tournament?

From Ryan Ernst blog of nky.com: End-of-game Replays Approved in High School Basketball— Replay equipment may be used in state high school basketball championships next year to determine the final outcome of games. In its April 13-15 meeting in Indianapolis, the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Basketball Rules Committee voted to permit state high school associations to use a replay monitor to review field-goal attempts at the expiration of time in the fourth quarter or any overtime period, but only in games when the last-second attempt would affect the outcome of the game.This addition to Rule 2-2-1 was one of two major rules changes and five major editorial revisions approved by the Basketball Rules Committee. All changes were subsequently approved by the NFHS Board of Directors.
