Yeah the whole "living in Ashland" thing leaves me scratching my head. I'm not knocking the Greenup County school system at all but it just does not make sense to make that commute daily if you don't have to.

The quotes from Amis in the Independent article are somewhat interesting and goes slightly against some of what I have been told. But still interesting. The biggest question it raises is why would the kid move from Lexington to Ashland, then go to school at Greenup County. For those not from the area you're looking at a half hour drive each way from downtown Ashland to GCHS, probably longer for the morning commute. Making that drive daily just doesn't make sense when you have 6 other high schools within the immediate Ashland area to choose from. Also if his family did not move from the Lexington area who is he living with in Ashland? Interestingly enough Amis lives in Ashland but claims not to know where in Ashland that Dryden was living. Personally I would have carpooled if I were them.

He played there as well.

My guess is the KHSAA missed it when ruling him eligible. Someone likely made a call recently that threw the red flag up for investigation.

Jeff has been in the Greenup area since he was a kid. He also played at Ashland 15 or so years ago. So they didn't necessarily move to the area together. What I heard sounds to becoming true though but there isn't really anything I can add that hasn't already been mentioned. The letter to the coach explains about 90% of what I've been told.

It certainly is. Jeff Large will be fired as well, obviously. It appears that Greenup County will be starting over, again.

I figured Highlands would win this one by ten or so. Apparently they are a few points better than I thought.

From the little I know this doesn't look good at all.

That has never happened to me even when I worked in multiple states in the same tax years. I'm not even sure it's legal to be honest.

They will turn out great, I have faith in that. I've been buying 1 3/4-2" chops lately and am starting to like them as well as steak and that's with me slow smoking them and then putting a reverse sear on them at the end. I imagine they'll come out more juicy with the sous vide.

Hearing this is kinda like facing a double edged sword. It sounds like good news for most of the employees because it means they have likely been hired on by other local health care providers. The bad news is still there for the people that live on that side of Ashland as well as those that choose to go to OLBH over KDMC for other reasons. There are too many people living in the eastern half of Greenup County to not have a hospital there, imo. KDMC has said they will build something there to help reduce the influx of people to the ER in Ashland. But I imagine that will take some time and no one has really mentioned how many beds it will have, etc.

Final from James A. Anderson gymnasium. Ashland finished the regular season 28-0. They play Rose Hill again on Monday for the first round of the 64th district tournament.

My favorite series of all time.

Warren Central has all the tools to win that region. Whether they do or not is up in the air. But they're playing much better this half of the season and would be my favorite to win the region. This was a bad loss for BG, but I'm not sure that its gonna matter in the end if Warren Central keeps playing as they have been or improving.

I get the dislike @NKYBBALLFANS but you said yourself that Beechwood is battling injuries and sickness. Unless Highlands is dealing with the same (which you didn't mention) then I would give them a 10 point advantage in this one considering they're playing at home. The two teams seem somewhat equal when at full strength.

I feel like Highlands wins this one by 10 or so.

I never knew they weren't given room to land safely on floaters, that rule should change, imo. Of course unless the defender in that situation is already set in place and does not move once the player left the ground. In this case however the defender was not set before Villars left the ground, he slid in underneath him after he had already left the ground. So a no call was likely right whether the shot went in or not.

I don't know the exact rule, but I'm curious how many feet the shooter is allowed to come down when shooting such a shot? Or is it just up to the refs to make the call on the fly? Seems to be a lot of grey area there. Not saying you're wrong, it would be nice to know the difference in the rule between a running shooter or a jump shooter as far as being allowed to land safely after the shot attempt. This type of shot is similar to a guard driving from the three point line and putting up a floater around the foul line instead of stopping for a jumpshot at the foul line. Are they not given freedom of movement in that instance either?

Even as I'm getting older I have been lucky enough to maintain 20/20 vision.

Looked to me like the ball went in the basket as time expired which won the game for Ashland.

Lol.

I don't have much to say at the moment but Ashland came back to win the game on a 16-3 run. Ashland was outplayed and should have lost the game, but once again they were clutch in what appeared to be getting the game to overtime. Then the shot happened, I dunno what else to say. Sportscenter.

I'm with ya on that and if I had anyone on the Greenup County team I'd keep my mouth shut about it because I feel like parents should let the coaches do their job, without adding distractions. It's just an observation of mine and I'm sure coach Amos has his reasoning for it, it could be as simple as letting Dryden learn the position he would likely play at the next level. I do still feel like they would have a solid shot at upsetting some teams ahead of them if they put him in the post though. But that's not my call to make lol.

Can't really argue your logic, imo. I would have it about the same but could make an argument for Greenup since they won the most recent meeting against Raceland, I think that one went to OT though and was at Greenup. Raceland has the better overall record though and all three of those teams seem pretty much equal to me. As an Ashland fan it doesn't really matter much to me but I feel like they are under utilizing Dryden. With his size and athleticism he would be hard to stop in the post in this region. Yet he spends most of his time on offense out around the top of the key. Going forward, assuming he get college offers he likely won't be playing in the post so I get it to an extent. But he would have his way in the post against most 16th region teams, which would make Greenup County a better team than they have been thus far.
