If a coach feels he has a case he can always send the tape to whomever could do something about it. I don't know if that would be the KHSAA or the regions officals director.

If you put McCreary in there (which you should) SSF why would you not include Wayne County who has beaten them twice as well as just beating E Jessamine.

In light of the thread following the McCreary/Somerset game I'm amazed at the restraint showed by SSF.

No details but West has now won 12 of 15 games so they too have been playing well. In this region there are no surprises among the top 10 schools, west is now 11-3 in the region.

Looks like there are some good games on the sched. for tonight in the 12th. E Jessamine at Wayne Pulaski County at W Jessamine Mercer County at Garrard County Knox Central at Southwestern All of those could be very good games and each school except Garrard and Knox Cen of course are contenders for the region title. Garrard could pull an upset but I don't think they could win 4 of 5 against the competition they would have to play to win the region. Of course there is still the top two teams in the region playing Lexington schools Boyle County hosting Bryan Station and Lincoln going to Dunbar.

Southwestern by 8-12 If it were at Knox Cen. I'd call it a tossup. By the way anyone been to the new school at Knox Cen.? How big is the gym

It seems to be the norm anytime you go on the road outside of your own region you get it put too you.

According to the stats on the KHSAA scoreboard site he scored his 1,000th point on the 16th. Also according to those stats he's shooting better than 80% from the line and better than 40% from three point line and averaging just over 20ppg this year.

I know that only two tournaments a year can be counted as just one game against the number of games a team can play in a season. I think the limit is 23 games which is usually scheduled as 21 games and two tournaments. If a team plays in more than two tournaments they must count every game played in those additional tournaments against their allowable total. It seems like Hazard has played in 4 or 5 tournaments this year.

I would not have thought that Whitley Co would be large enough for a Regional tourn. I bet that place is completly packed.

Danville is usually pretty good. Their best player went to Boyle Co this year and is one of the top five players in the region

My prediction is Somersets get production from players who rarely produce or a big shot or two from players you do not expect it from and does just enough to scratch out a win.

Did Lincoln score in the second half from anywhere beyond about 4 feet. I don't remember anything (other than a free throw) that wasn't right under the goal in the second half.

I don't think Garrard belongs anywhere near this list. They've lost 4 of 5 and the only region teams they have beat are Monticello, Burgin and Danville. Here's my top 10 with their record against the Region's top 10 1 Boyle Co 4-3 2 Lincoln Co 7-2 3 West Jessamine 6-3 4 McCreary Co. 5-4 5 Southwestern 6-4 6 Pulaski Co 1-6 7 Somerset 2-4 8 East Jessamine 5-4 9 Mercer Co 1-6 10 Wayne Co 3-4 My rankings are based on who I think would win if they played tonight. Casey Co would be very close if not tied for #10 and they are the only team not listed who I think would have a good chance of beating a team on the list.

The law of supply and demand would indicate that if people are being turned away at Montgomery county then they could raise the price of tickets Montgomery 4408 x $6 =$26,448 Mason 5200 x $5 =$26,000 Money problem solved!

Why not just take all A schools, start in the west and divide them into regions six or seven teams to a region to balance it out. Since district tourney's are not played in All A you don't have to have to KHSAA alignment. As it is some regions have 10 or 11 "A" size schools while some only have 4 or 5.

I can't believe that no one has even mentioned Dixon from Pulaski. He isn't even the best player on his team but he completely changes how you have to play them. Perkins is clearly the man at PC but I think Dixon is the next most important player on the team. There is no way I would mention Ty Perkins before Dixon, I admit Ty has the ability to be a great player but at this point his results shouldn't even get him mentioned in this thread in my opinion.

Isn't the coach of the year voted on before the state tournament. They are introduced during halftime of one of the state tournament games aren't they? Also the voting is done by other coaches in the region isn't it, so if certain coaches aren't liked very much it could cost them a vote or two.

Tough loss for the Jumpers. That would have been a very solid win as Hazard is a good team. At least now Somerset can focus on the rest of the season and getting to the region, which they should. I think the runs they have made in the all A in the past years kind of took the steam out of them down the stretch. Now that they don't have to recover from playing three or four straight days they can build some momentum heading to the postseason.

The radio said that South was up 8 with 15 seconds to go. I didn't bother listenng to the end.

have they always had split sessions at the boys region at Mason county?

I can't beleive there are districts that still use the blind draw. Do they still have a guy with a ladder to climb up and get the ball out of the peach basket after each score too? The biggest problem I see this creating is that now one team in the region tournament basically has a first round bye. That would be a pretty good feeling for a district winning coach in the 11th to know that he has a one in three chance to draw Berea or Model in the opening round.

I not positive Hector but I think that they would have used 12th region refs if the game was at Corbin. Woods will not go to the 13th region without the stipulation that they have to use 12th region refs, then he allows 13th region refs to come to Wayne for the return game.

I think Jones may have played for the old Pineknot HS before it closed and they built the new school at McCreary. That was sometime in the 70's. I also think he may have ended up playing at Cumberland for a year.
