70 to 70?

In my opinion, if Travis Perry stays healthy, he could go after King Kelly's scoring record. He's a cold blooded shooter.

Mayfield vs. Louisville Central or Belfry Caldwell County vs. Owensboro Catholic

I take it someone in Laurel County had an AP vote.

I keep forgetting that Zion Harmon is a junior.

Madisonville has 2 D1 players. Marshall County has Zion Harmon. McCracken County has Jackson Sivells who has signed with Murray State. The most potentially talented player I've seen this year is an eighth grader, Travis Perry from Lyon County. There's plenty of talent if you look all around the state, I would guess. I've just seen what is available in the western end of the state. Lots of underclassmen talent.

This is much closer than when they played earlier this year.

Travis Perry can flat out score. That's for sure. If he stays healthy and keeps improving, Ty Rogers' s scoring record at Lyon County is very much in danger. I'd go so far as to say, that he may be looking at an even bigger spot on the all-time scoring list in the state.

Looking at that link, Perry is actually ahead of Gaither in the 2nd region scoring.

Lyon County's Travis Perry can't be far behind Gaither in the 2nd region. Perry is an 8th grader and has already eclipsed the 1,000 point barrier.

I saw Stinson and Allen both play this year and Stinson isn't that far behind in ability. Both are elite. I voted for Stinson because I'm glad my Tigers won't have to face him anymore. I think he's been starting QB at Mayfield for the last decade.

This is as wide open as I can remember it being. There are several teams that could put together a 7 game hot streak and take the state title. Any of the AP top ten listed here have the goods, and I don't doubt there are others too. Being #1 now just means there's a bigger target on your back every time you walk into a gym.

I believe that they are at least close to having the top 10 teams in the pill. They may not be in the right order, but it's closer than I've seen in a while.

Good read!

Oh sorry.

What happened here? I read the ESPN story. It was vague.

I think you're right. Just seeing video of Butler, they look as good as anybody outside the top 6 at the very least.

I really thought this was Murray's year, but Frankfort is on a run. Good luck to both teams tomorrow.

I still think it will be a very close game and the winner could go for the title. Both of these teams are being paid a lot of attention, but have experience being here before.

That could be because they are led by an eighth graders in Travis Perry. While in his 2nd year of varsity play and scoring over 1,000 points already, he can be a bit inconsistent. Travis will be a beast all of the time real soon.

University Heights is always a favorite to win the whole thing. They may be catching Murray at the right time, while UHA is on a hot streak of their own.

You're probably right. I guess I just finally realized how no matter how you do it, the big or private schools are still at a heavy advantage. I just can't see why the smaller schools still support the "open class" system in basketball anymore. Surely they would have the votes to change it if they voted as a block.

I looked and post 1970 I see Edmondson County in '76 and Paintsville in '96. It has been 24 years since a small school actually won. Kentucky doesn't need the rpi, we need classes to be fair. It takes 5-7 good players, but picking 5-7 boys out of a pool of 250 is not the same as picking 5-7 out of a pool of 1500-2000.

No bigger than a 2A football school. They would have to qualify for the All A tourney.

Who was the last small public county school to win the state championship?
