365 days a year

#32 is their center, big strong kid, about 6'3 and they sub a kid about 6'6 but has a small frame. They are super quick and start 4 guards.

Dont have any idea, but I know that Oldham is giving up 45ppg for the year that is #1 in the state. Is it points given up?

Where are the Simon fans that annointed them all season?? Watched them play again last night and wonder how they won games all year. Their coaches do a good job, but always find a way to choke it away. Please next season dont think you are a top 25 team unless you really are, dont think that you have the best coach on the planet until you actually do. All year we have listened to that crap and 0-2 vs. Gallatin, really now. I told you earlier this week "old coach jones by 3, my bad it was 1. No way Simon would beat Collins as bad as they gave up rebounds last night so you get a little earlier vacation.

Has Simon ever beaten Gallatin in the last 5 trys? Ill take old Jon Jones by 3

The LIT and Cantrill do type in both teams into the computer and it factors their strength of schedule, they dont have to see them play. Players can be hurt for example, the computer has no idea who is hurt. Oldham lost by 20 in those 2 games, but were down less than 8 going into 4th quarter, and Simon has beaten Cov Cath and Clark County in the past week.

Dont think anyone in the 8th region is in top 10 but also dont think some of those other teams are either. Like I said the state and regional tournaments will speak for themselves.

You have to see everyone play before you can rank them, one of the reasons why the ratings actually work, they do take both teams into consideration, not peoples heart and opinion.

No way that Oldham and Simon are not ranked, both state ratings have them both ranked. Odlham is #10 in Herald, #16 in LIT, Simon is in top 20 in both as well. Once again these rankings are based on who the team is, who the coach is etc. They mean nothing, what does matter is winning a region, you have about 3 teams in your top 15 who will do that

You are correct Mack! That is the schedule, good luck to all next week.

Tyler Wesly probably best player in the 8th has 3 bigs ahead of him?? Dont understand that one!

Really dont like Eastern being still ranked with 11 losses. They lost to Central Hardin last week who has 8 wins, I know they play a tough schedule but really 13-11 is #15 still like this one better than the other 2.

No love for the 8th region? Really surprised considering they have ranked teams in both papers, as almost always it is dominated by Lexington and Louisville, not alot of respect for anyone else. Maybe that is why we had 2 teams in the state final that were not from any of those regions. So happy that only 2 can make it to the state tournament, some are way over hyped! Rankings can not let personal feelings get involved because you like the coach, or the school, etc. Its about winning and performing. I know the 6,7,11 are strong but 12 of the top 17? Top 6 are right on after that its just ridiculous.

Great win for the CATS! I thought South would handle them but once again Jon has a way of winning games. Morgan and Davis can play! Others know their role, the 8th will be interesting as usual.

South by 20, watached Oldham against Gallatin, Jon Jones is one of the best aroung but sometimes its about the JOE's and this will be an example

Whatever they go with it should be for the entire state, that is where the problem rises, also the smaller schools get their shot with the all A, everyone should play twice!

Well the 3 Oldham's are strong and with 2 of them making the tournament that would be mean someone would have to beat one of them on Monday and and then on Tuesday. Dont know if anyone in the region can do that. The draw will be important as always. Simon also will be in the mix as they have played a hard schedule and have been competitive all year. Of course Gallatin and Owen could be a spoiler, and Collins on some nights will beat anyone. I said this last year, and it is so true, you have to beat 3 good teams, how many can do that?

Oldham playing without Kerry Smith tonight but, Grant fights really hard and they are improving after seeing them early in the season. The referees were awful in the entire game for both teams. Total of about 12 free-throws between both teams. Grant hosts the district so they can be very dangerous at home, if they are making shots look out. Their overall size hurts them but their effort neglescts some of that.

It is longer than 84 feet, it might not be 94 but definitely longer. They have played college games in the past. Toward Gallatins bench they endlines are definitely further back. They are a great passing team, so with extra space good luck pressing

Pretty much decided it that Owen will be the #1 seed in the district tournament. Districts are at Owen this year, look for the rebels to be in the regional tourney. They will be a factor come tourney time. Gallatin County tough place to play also because it is a college floor, different for teams, they are always good and as mentioned before good teams rarely lose at home.

I'm not saying play stall ball, I am saying that when you are ahead it would be respectful of the other team to stop pressing them, maybe work on your zone offense, let your younger guys play and maybe even dress your younger kids that dont play varsity. As a coach you know when you are alot better than someone. As the coach of the team losing I would want my players to play as hard as they can, it they are not trying and pouting I would not care if they get beat 50. If it is a case of just being overmatched and there is nothing you can do about it like a district mandatory game, then I would make sure that I didnt beat a bunch of kids by 70. There are some bad teams out there and I understand that, some coaches however run it up on purpose, and that is what drives fans, parents and other teams crazy.

I am afraid that the LIT rating that comes out after Christmas for each region really makes some coaches run the score up. The LIT is some districts tie breakers for seeding even, I know that running a score up in some cases is inevitable. Two different situations, a team is up 12 with minute left, coach takes his kids out, other coach leaves his studs in to win by 20 in the last minute, watched this Tuesday. Another scenario is the coach wants his team to still execute etc, and leaves them in, probably not going to get to execute very much so that is a load of crap as well. As a coach we supposed to be coaching because we love the players and respect the game. When someone wins by 40 or more both have been thrown under the bus.

South is not in top 5 in their own region. or top 2 in their own district! 1. Trinity 2. Ballard 3. Moore 4. Bullitt East 5. PRP

Watching Conner against Oldham last week, Odlham beat them around 30 and was being nice, Coach Hicks has some nice young players but I thought Dixie was loaded. If they play like that they cant win the 9th.

Nobody from the 8th region, really? Oldham has to be in top 25

Saw Warren Central play this summer and Hopkinsville, both are very talented, after the top 5 you have about 25 teams that could be ranked arguable at some point. When you look at some of the teams listed it is obviouly about respect from past years. Hard to see everyone play in the state, summer is a good time to see different teams but a hard time evaluating teams because they dont have all of their kids sometimes.
