365 days a year

Why lie? Was at the game as well he sat down the whole game and watched. It was a good summer game. Trust me didnt do any of those things. Get your facts straight beofre you put it on this message board. Both teams will be really good come season.

They have a sophomore name is Conner Hicks, not a transfer, but a homeschool kid from Oldham County. Got another player last January that did not play last year that is playing this year Sean Nudenberger who kicks for the football team, and plays soccer.

He played toward the end of the season for Collins, averaged about 5ppg. Definitely not a top 10 player but is very athletic. They have 3 players better than him, probably why they are picked to win the 8th. I have heard that 2 good guards for them have moved to Shelby County?

Madison Central should be #1 and Henry Clay #2.. Best player in the region Mr. Dominique Hawkins.

Independent school systems have more pride in general, and almost always go with a hometown guy is what I was saying. I dont think that Mr. Tucker is unqulaified to hire someone, I know him well, I just think that it almost ensures that you will get a hometown guy as your coach. You should want the most qualified person for the job I would think. One of the reasons for the hire was to hope that Jeff could bring some kids back to Somerset that left for Pulaski. Not because he was the best for the job. I think he will do a good job at least for Somerset I hope. He has to be better than what you had. Which you have to admit a real questionable hire that has cost Somerset players and years of basketball. Who made that hire? I think Mr. Tucker. Somerset has a chance to be good the next couple years and get someone in there that will work with the youth and continue to build. I hope that Jeff is that guy.

The problem with most independent school systems, they love hiring their own, it always bites them. Wondering if someone can give me some insight, didnt he coach at Somerset once before and leave? Then take a job at Southwestern and quit in October? Maybe it is a different Cothran? Somerset has always wanted local people to coach basketball, and they never hire the most qualified people. Thacker was a homerun hire! Besides that its been rough. AD used to be the head coach and pretty sure that he made the call on this hire, sometimes question his thinking especially since he once was the head coach himself. But Somerset will always be the stepping stone in the county and this proves why.

Hearing that Scott Hundley will be the man, it would be a move up for him before landing in Cardinal country. They have good guards coming back at Dunabr and lost a lot at Woodford. Not a very far drive from Versailles either.

Goldie, It is definitely different in Jefferson County than most school systems, I was contacted about one of the jobs and the only teaching jobs they could offer me was Math and Science. I am certified in PE and Health, which in Jefferson County the list for being a PE teacher can stretch from here to Clark County. So even though they were wanting me to coach and apply that could not even happen because of certification, where as some school systems will make you do ISS, homeschool, lunch duty etc, just to get the coach in the building this very rarely happens in Jefferson Co. Those 3 jobs are some of the better jobs in Jefferson but with some of the other schools getting all the middle school kids, I think those jobs will be harder to fill.

Not even if John Wooden was coaching. Shelby has a good group of freshmen, not great, but good. Middle school feeder is awful on all 3 levels. All of the kids at Shelby East go to Shelby, Shelby West goes to Collins. There is no transfer or any of that allowed to go on, if it was it would of already happened. Tough job until they re-draw boundary lines. Year in and year our Anderson and Collins will come out, and Spencer occasionally will have a good team.

I would think that they are ranked in their class at their positions. Willis Hicks Hawkins Out of the big 6 all will play D-1, I dont think you can say that about the others, when you are playing Indiana who has 12, pretty tough.

There was 2-3 players that could not attend with football obligations such as Quick, PG from Franklin County, and Wittman from Lexington Catholic. After the first 6 guys the rest is up in the air. Some guys that were there have been playing other sports and were rusty, but watching them in the regular season gives you a chance to have more than a one day tryout, thats why the team is selected by a coach representative from all over the state, so they can give insight on other items such as what kind of team mate they are, etc. Without a doubt 3 of the core 6 are ranked in the top 50 in the nation for their class, so I guess all of those experts are wrong. 5 of them will play D-1 for sure, or have already been offered or signed. Kody Johnson was there also.

Heard from a great source that it was done yesterday and that an eagle has flew the coup to be a rocket

Oldham has made a hire and he will meet with the girls this Friday. However Coach Wright from South Oldham has accepted the job at Ballard so it could change momentum to another 29th district opponent. Next season still should be South and after that with a new coach, and new ideas anything can change.

Unrealistic expectations that is for sure. No way should they have been picked to win the 10th region last year. Watched them over the summer and watched them at least 3 times in the season. They were good but definitely not great. Tony did a great job with them considering getting hired late. No way they win the 10th next season, are they dangerous yes, but winning the region, just a little far fetched. Lose Omar after this season so it will be a while. Mason and Clark are going to be better than Montgomery 9 out of 10 years, and they have been better the last 19 out of 20 years. Reminds me of some college teams that do whatever it takes to win a title but dont think about the reprecussions on the community, the school, or the program. Talked with Happy yesterday, he understands what is ahead of him so dont expect him very long on his own accord. It might not be Morehead but it definitely wont be Montgomery for too long, and then ask your self this Montgomery, who will your next head coach be and what will he get paid :0

Papa Pigskin would be correct!

Is Cothran the same guy that had the job once and left? Also the same one who quit in the middle of the year at Southwestern as the girls head coach? Should of learned your lesson I would think. If so that would worry me in the direction I was wanting to go in. A young coach with energy, who is ready to get involved with every level of basketball is what they need. I know of one assistant that has applied and would be great for them, he does not have any Somerset ties and that would be a good thing at this point. Been a part of regional championships something Somerset has not accomplished in a while.

Nice guess 0-4 though

4 veterans and 1 assistant are interviewing. This job is getting some quality people in the interview process. One in particular from Louisville that I was shocked about, and hearing is the favorite.

The June is the one I am looking for the dates on. Have any idea Sportsfan?

They are taking aplications through Friday. Really quick deadline, makes me feel like they have already offered it to someone that has accepted it. Not wasting anytime hiring I dont think.

I think that KBA is for any one that can field a team, all star teams etc, I thought there was one for high school teams only in June?

Anyone know the dates for the 15U AAU State Tournament this year, and also the Derek Smith Shootout dates. Any help would be appreciated.

Have heard the name Scott Chalk thrown around and the JV coach from South Oldham for this position

Really think that they try to keep 2 PG's, 6 Bigs with some of them being interchangeable, and 4 SG, that would make the most sense, as far as PG's go hard to beat Paige and Townsend, already going to have 2 Trinity kids on the team looks like with Foster and Dieudenne. Bigs Jay Johnson, Lemon, Clemons, and McKay are all studs, the other 2 bigs spots should be interesting. As far as SG's go Ivey, Manning, Barnette good choices I would think

CONGRATS to Coach Steiner and his staff! Great season and well deserved award. Oldham only returned 2 starters off their regional team from the year before by the way. Gruber and Kopp never played in the regional tourney last season. Lost 3 starters! Alot of good seasons in the 8th!
