That is not true. The following letter was sent out today: 2015 8TH Region Boys Basketball Inclimate Weather Plan In discussion with the National Weather Service, The Superintendent, Principal, and transportation director of Henry County Schools, we have decided to proceed with the following plan for the 8th region boys’ tournament due to the impending winter weather situation. All games for Wednesday, March 4 and Thursday, March 5th will be cancelled and rescheduled at this time for Saturday, March 7th. The schedule will go as follows: 10:00 a.m. - Grant Co. vs. Shelby Co. 12:00 p.m. - Oldham Co. vs. Gallatin Co. 2:00 p.m. - Owen Co. vs. North Oldham 4:00 p.m. - Collins vs. Simon Kenton We do not believe it to be prudent to do a split session and clear the gym after the 12:00 game, however, we will be changing tickets after the 12:00 game so anyone who leaves will have to pay to re- enter for a later game. As of right now, we will still plan on having the semi-finals on Monday, March 9th with the finals to follow on Tuesday, the 10th. The commissioner has sent out a reminder that it is in the handbook that when rescheduling regional tournaments, it is the job of the tournament manager to try and avoid any conflicts between boys and girls region games involving the same school. He has said to “avoid the same school playing boys and girls at or near the same time at different sites if it would force fans and administrators to make a choice between the games. This may mean playing the games in a region out of bracket order, and if so, then so be it to avoid that conflict.” With that being said, depending on what happens with the girls region, it may be a possibility that we would have to flip some of the games as far as order goes to accommodate. If the situation persists into Saturday, we will make contact with coaches and AD’s with a schedule change. Thank you for your patience with this situation. Thank you, Todd Gilley Athletic Director Henry County High School

UNUSUAL: Only one of the three region "Deans of Coaches" will be in attendance. Glen Drury of Anderson County (longest-tenured coach in 8th region) and Steve Simpson of South Oldham (third longest-tenured) are on the sidelines.....only Jon Jones of Gallatin County (second-longest tenure) will be in New Castle. What qualifies one as a "Dean of Coaches"?

Wow! 1981 would have been superintendent Marcia Haney Dunaway's senior year. Congrats to the Raiders and good luck in New Castle.

KHSAA by laws specifically state that fans cannot use megaphones. I agree that the refs have enough to deal with, but when it is right in their faces and the game manager does not handle it I would have thought the refs would.

Who is in charge of enforcing this rule? I recently had to alert the A.D. to this rule and have him remove the giant megaphone from the front row of the student section that was being used to harass players while shooting foul shots. There was no way the refs didn't see and hear this and yet they did nothing about it. It's my understanding that only cheerleaders can use megaphones

Per twitter: @rebels_Nation: Tonight Owen County 2016 F @Cwilli2332 picked up an offer from Miami (OH). @rebels_Nation: Congrats to Owen County JR @Cwilli2332 for scoring his 2,000 career point in tonight's victory. First player in OC history with 2K

If I was considering putting my kid on a "B" team I would want to know exactly what the difference in the A team and the B team would be. I've seen programs where the A team went to high exposure tournaments and the B team did not yet everyone was paying the same amount and some of the B team parents felt they were helping finance the A team. I would want to know if the A team was missing players for a weekend would one of the B team members be "moved up" thus hurting the performance of the B team. I would want to know if my child played very well would there be a chance of him being promoted to the A team. The AAU world can be a different one and parents need to ask lots of questions going in and know that nothing ever seems to be set in stone. I would have to think long and hard about having my son on a B team but it might be a good option for some. I agree that people need to broaden their focus on college ball. I have son playing D2 and it has been a great experience so far and he is getting a great education paid in full. D2, NAIA, JUCO are all great options.

Absolutely. PE teachers have a curriculum to follow and standards to meet...just as any other teacher. This curriculum not only includes the physical education but health and wellness. I hardly doubt Duvall or any other PE teacher/coach sat and scouted all day, all season while his/her 25-30 students played dodgeball unsupervised.

I understand where you are coming from but I would hardly call that the norm. Honestly, I find it a bit insulting to the profession.

I'm sure our school is one that you would consider going overboard but I feel we do it right. Dim the lights, spotlight, slide show of seniors when they were little kids, flowers for mom etc... It seems to be a big deal for all and a nice way to honor all seniors who have given so much time and effort to the sport not just the ones who score the most points etc.. Also honor the senior cheerleaders. I know we can't control the weather but hope that all seniors get some sort of recognition.

What all does the sponsorship include?

You are probably right but I hate to see so many Senior Nights get cancelled. Any ideas of how to honor your seniors with no final home game?

What percentage of coaches are members of the KABC?

What does being a PE teacher have to do with anything?

My fault. Probably should have worded that differently.

From what I've seen he always plays hard. Gets my vote for Mr. Basketball, well I don't actually get a vote but if I did he would get it.

Contracts and crowd sizes aside, if I was an NKU player and my team got bumped from my home court by a high school tournament, I would be ticked off.

Really hate to hear this but not surprised. Hope he can get back for XC season but that might be pushing it. He was 13th in the state last year.

How far up the list could he make it before the end of the season?

Junior-Carson Williams of Owen County Vs Augusta- 19 & 18 Vs Shelby Valley- 23 & 12 Vs Monroe County- 19 & 19

Vince Toftness Owen Co had a very nice game. Also Wiliams had 18 boards.

Any word on how Snapp is doing. Hated to see him go down with that injury.

No one on BGPs seemed to think that.

FYI Owen did make it to the game at Grant and beat them by 3. Despite what many of the Grant Co fans and coach seemed to think, the Rebels looked forward to this game and it was good prep for the All A.
