Congrats to Ivy!!

Congrats to Butler! I was really surprised when Lawrence was not named a finalist for Miss Basketball.Whenever I saw her play always thought she was a really good player. I'm sure being MVP of the state tournament helps her get over the omission for miss bball

Boley is a really good player for Etown and their post player is very active and aggressive. Butler is fast, deep, and aggressive, I think they will give Etown a close game. Anderson was depending on the three too much and when they drove they tried to drive on much bigger players. Think Mckee never got her rhythm after 3 early fouls and Cann's shot was not falling last night. But congrats on representing the 8th region well. Quite an accomplishment to make state to the round of eight

Yes. Girls' candidates are Ivy Brown of LaRue County, MacKenzie Cann and Eriel McKee of Anderson County, Nicole Kiernan of Newport Central Catholic, Javonna Layfield of Ballard, Kayla Rankin of Perry County Central and Daijia Ruffin of Sacred Heart.

Courier journal does not pick the POY for the 6th and 7th region. They only report the results of the coaches vote. The KABC POY's are seniors only, so sometimes the KABC pick is really not the best player as the best player might be someone not a senior.

Way to go South!! Close game with lots of fouls called both ways. I think 2 fouled out for South and one for Trimble. PSN did a good job announcing the game!!

I thought Danielle Lawrence from Butler would be a finalist

Larue county's Ivy Brown, Anderson County’s MacKenzie Cann and Eriel McKee, Newport Central Catholic’s Nicole Kiernan, Perry County Central’s Kayla Rankin, Ballard’s Javonna Layfield and Sacred Heart’s Daijia Ruffin. Good group!

Thanks for the update on the 29th district. I have not been to any games this season but still cheering from home!

Wow! Didn't know that some players played only AAU and not high school. But yes, it would be hard for coaches to recruit during the high school season when the college basketball season is going on at the same time.

Congrats to Ivy and her family! WKU is getting a great player!

There is a thread about it under college sports/basketball

Nice article in the Courier Journal the other day about some players getting a lot of national attention! http://www.courier-journal.com/article/20130803/SPORTS11/308030004/1078/sports/Recruiting-Notebook-Future-taking-shape-Kentucky-Premier-girls-basketball-players

SM is swingman... A player capable of playing either shooting guard or small forward. I am assuming that WF means they play wing or forward.

Praying for Jesse and her family!

The roster was in the courier journal. If I had to guess, being that this was an AAU evaluation weekend, several players decided not to play( same reason my daughter didn't play when she was a rising senior). Too many other big tournaments were being played. So other girls were asked to play after the initial roster was released. If I had to guess. Wish they would move that game so all the top talent can play.

Here are the rosters: GIRLS * West: Kayla Bale (Green County); Domeneque Taft, Kiera Jones (North Hardin); Brianna Harman (Nelson County); Allison Evans (LaRue County); Jennifer Keene (Washington County); Taylor Blain, Courtney Pfister (Bullitt East); Monae Crowe (Valley); Narrissa Keown (Fairdale); Josie Hockman (Holy Cross); Rayven Shead (Pleasure Ridge Park). Coaches: Bernard Smalley (Washington County); Chris Stallings (Bullitt East). * East: Brianna Hawkins, Jocelyn Delgado (Central); Jade Spaulding (Eastern); Alexis Gainey (Male); Jada Jackson (Waggener); Makenzie Cann (Anderson County); Ashley McMurtrey (Oldham County); Paige Black (Trimble County); MacKenzie Myers (Spencer County); Shelby Mullikin (Walton-Verona); Abby Owings (Simon Kenton). Coaches: Josh Leslie (Eastern); Holly Roberts (Gallatin County). - See more at: East-West Junior All-Star basketball games Saturday at St. Xavier | Jason Frakes ? KHS

Meant to post this last week. Congrats to Cann and her family! I heard the coaches were very excited to get her commitment! Go bearcats!!!

Totally agree. I thought Banks from Ballard would have given them needed size in the post. If Greenwell was healthy they probably could have swept both games with the small line-up, but since she could not play, i think size in the post would have helped. Congrats to the team for winning the 1st game, great job!

Game 2: Indiana 77 - Kentucky 57 KY (57) - Owings 2, Brown 18, McKee 3, Cann 7, Lawrence 2, Matchen 4, Rankin 13, Ruffin, Calhoun 4 It does not total to 57 but it's listed in the newspaper this way. Maybe the 4 points belong to Ruffin.
