Conner MS indeed has some nice players coming along, especially 7th grade . . .

Raiders win a close one. Jenna Crittendon injured as the game ended.

Sounds like NDA will have a strong freshman class, as well as NCC. And with some SSS players at Cooper, perhaps the Jaguars will begin building a program to compete with the other Boone co. district schools. What about Turner (Holmes?) and Beal (Holy Cross?). Are they incoming freshman?

Where are your players going, Truth?

Didn't realize that. . . Seems unnecessary as most really competitive AAU teams seem to hand pick from a much broader pool of talent. Unlikely that there would be enough super players in the same age level from one school to get an advantage. Also, seems pointless to make a team split up in high school after maybe playing AAU together since elementary school. . . This would be really tough in KY for the smaller towns and counties that put together aau teams. . .

What is this rule?

Guess we are in agreement; my experience with coaches and their kids playing on the same team have been all good. A parent/coach might even be harder on his own kid.

Joining Lauren Tibbs on the top 2011 list are two other Northern Ky girls, Sydni Wainscott from SK (21), and Abby Jump from Ryle (11). What college prospects for these 3 top seniors?

:thumb: She has certainly earned that good press! As for the other stuff, sports fans do love controversy! Won't go away easy.

And, thus the controversy will continue. . . But I think you mean 2012?

Pittman still coaching 10 boys, and very good 13 girls teams for SSS, (his kid's teams). Don't know if he is continuing with others . . . He seems to be doing a lot of coach and team recruiting.

I am with you Bandit! :thumb:

:thumb: Very cool!

Go Boone! Go earn some respect for Northern Kentucky girls basketball!

Something positive about Ryle? I think there has been lot's of positives, but I must mention Dawn Johnson - she plays really strong. A freshman, right? Anyone know how tall she is? Enjoy watching her make things happen. . .

Just looking at the Miss Basketball thread; made me wonder. . . How awesome would it be in a couple of years to maybe have 2 of the top contenders for Miss basketball right here in Northern Kentucky? From the same school system? In fact, both from Union? Jenna and Sydney both have the potential - looking forward to seeing them live up to it!

I think the kids are already handling it better! But us grown up got to have something to talk about! Why would Boone fans bring it up? Let's face it; as good as NF and her team might be, Moss was a gift. One received under questionable circumstances. . . I can see why Ryle folks don't like it. But again - glad it worked out for Miss Moss!

If Sydney observed that, then it was from the stands, as she had already "quit" Ryle before post season play - perhaps for the 2nd time, as Ryle also started that season without Moss on roster. I don't pretend to know what happened, but it was a shame to waste that talent after she (and Jenna) had showed such promise as 8th graders for Ryle. She is certainly doing fine this year! I hope Boone goes all the way at state! Sorry Shockey, the Boone/Moss/Ryle thing keeps popping up - It is an unusual situation and interesting to speculate about. Ryle has a great program thanks to Coach O and the great group of players there. They need to put the whole Moss/Boone thing behind them next year and just shine as the terrific TEAM they are!

Thanks for your insight. Truly words to remember! Past time to congratulate both coaches for their superb seasons! I have a favorable impression of Coach O, but Coach F has gotten the BIG results! (I really just don't like the way she stomps her foot so much:rolleyes:) Great job ladies!

Love to see that happen! Go Mercy!

As someone who knows very little about AAU basketball, I was hoping someone could explain to me what is BCK? I know it is basketball club of kentucky, but is there any actual relationship between "bck" teams? I know there are a couple of girl's BCK teams in NKY that seem to be thinly connected, and there are some boys teams, I think. It seems some of the AAU organizations are united in name only. . . Are most AAU teams independent entities?
