Works hard. Plays smart. Want her on my team!

Likely a snooze fest. Kes coaches two styles. Slow and molasses. First team to 51(or more than NDA's average), wins. His coaching style is exactly the reason that high school needs to initiate a shot clock. Bring your Red Bull and 5 Hour Energy.

Says it all!

Boyd has been probably over ranked all year, so there was more pressure on them to do well at state than reasonable. They shot way over their average against Ryle and Highlands in Lexington and suddenly they're a top team in state.

Over ranked? Suddenly? This team went to the state semifinals last year, winning 29, won 28 this year, lost to the two state finalists in WV, beat Mercer, the defending state champs, and beat Dixie, Highlands, and Ryle (where you imply they just kept getting lucky). Kind of difficult to schedule much harder on a daily basis, as they are in the 16th and a long drive from the better teams in the state. They lost a tough game to a good team. Give em' some credit.

If Browning plays up to her potential, this game likely goes to Male.

Tough, tough break for Browning and Male, with Browning out for the tournament due to illness. Next player up!

I'm sure there will be a lot of questions about this hire. I know rumors aren't always true but, there's quite a few about this guy.

Here's what I do know. He coached my daughter, and he did a great job. He is one of the most positive people you will ever meet. He loves soccer like crazy, and wants to develop players and people. He generously gives his time to coaching. He is an expert on physical development and training and nutrition and shares his passion and knowledge for these areas as well as soccer.

I trust him implicitly and explicitly to do the right thing for these young ladies. I'll be rooting for this team.

Too much athleticism from GRC along with one of the better points in the state. Igo pretty much drove GRC to a win over Scott through force of will. All 7 they play can put the ball on the floor. When they all turn up their defensive intensity, they can compete with anyone in the state.

Could be the game of the tournament. Wheeler plays every game like its a championship game. Hence, she absolutely earned Miss Basketball honors. If Browning plays up to her potential, this game likely goes to Male. Understand that this is a team game, but Browning has the ability to overwhelm. Whoever wins should cruise to the championship game.

Coach Menefee was ready to make her a big part of things and for a better team.

They never stop working it in Claryville!

We only affirm to young players to get on a bad team with an east schedule and play selfish!

 

How does a player as good as Painter shoot less than half the shots Wheeler does.

 

Somethings not right here...

What's not right here is you analysis. First, are you suggesting that Boyd County is a bad team? Second, Should the Wheeler family have packed up and moved to Louisville to play for Butler/Male/Sacred Heart etc. so the strength of schedule could have been better? Boyd county is in Eastern Kentucky! C'mon Man! When they did play Ryle, what happened(Boyd County victory for the uninformed)? Also, I think you saw last year that Mykassa Robinson wasn't mentioned as a top candidate for Miss Basketball even though she had a great year in a remote part of the state(same part of the state as Wheeler). Who's contributing more now at Louisville?(nothing against Robins who is a great player as well)

Third, Selfish??? While Paynter is a great player, Wheeler has higher percentages in two point, three point, free throws and more rebounds per game(from the point). Isn't that the player you want with the ball in her hands? Brings the ball up the court every time. Assists and Steals aren't listed, but I guarantee Wheeler is dominant in these categories. Oh, and she gets to the free throw line over 10 times/game, which kinda helps when the opposition has to throw their best defender on her to try to contain her. You called her one dimensional in an earlier post. That's far from realistic. Implying Wheeler is selfish is flat out wrong.

Boyd lost to Ashland Blazer by 17 without Wheeler. With Wheeler, they beat Blazer by 26.

Schwartz is great, but for my money Wheeler is easily the biggest impact player in the state right now. Take Schwartz away from Ryle, you still have a top ten team. Take Wheeler away from Boyd, you would be hard pressed to have them in the top twenty five.

20. Bardstown

Having South Laurel ranked 16, and South Laurel only ranked 19 is a joke! Everyone knows that with a coach like South Laurel has, they will ALWAYS beat South Laurel.

Have to give MND some love because they won the "game I am so sorry I missed".....69-18 over our friends from the wrong side of the Licking(CC for the geographically challenged).

than a coach that doesn’t care much. Unfortunately in girls basketball there are a bunch of those.

Gotta call this one out! Really don't know any high school coaches that don't care about the kids and winning. They're not doing it for the money... C'MON MAN!

This coach, however, can push it a smidge over the top. Last year he scouts a rival by bringing his starting five and sitting in the first row behind the scoutee's bench. First, have just a little respect. Second, when rival coach has the entire JV sit/stand directly in front of him/starting five, he cries to the AD on site.....another C'MON MAN!!! Take it back to Claryville...

Kiki is going to have a great career. Solid solid player with great will and killer instincts. And just maybe she can get me race tickets!

The crowd for Mercy was pretty low.

Yes, it was probably 70% Mercer Fans, 15% Mercy Fans, and 15% were there to be converted by Pastor Souder. I know I am now a true believer. Impressive!

BTW, tis' about the season. How about getting me a tee time?

Here is Igo's 3 pointer to tie the game in regulation.

Did Igo get the "1" removed from her jersey?

Great year Ryle! Super happy for Danielle Feldkamp!!! She's awesome!

Lol, Ryle 42- Mercy 43 at half, folks can dislike update post on Etown v GRC....this is basketball

Orrr.....we can just dislike you overall.....

GRC earned this victory. The coach has always treated players on the other teams with a great deal of respect. He is a class act. I thought the action of keeping his team out at halftime last night until a GRC legend was introduced into the 10th region HOF was an additional example of his class and teaching good lessons. It will be easy to root for this team at state.

I like Copner tonight! Can't lose!

Quickly becoming an all around player. Great Speed, incredible hops, good handles, great ability to get to the rim and a really impressive jump shot. Good defender. She is D1!

Very low scoring affair so far. Both teams shooting under 20%

No need for Ambien when watching a Kez-coached team.

Great Player, Great Young Lady!

Anna Clephane scored her 2,000th Point(and 35 additional) on Thursday night against NCC on the Hill. Referencing an earlier thread, she scored less than a 100 points as an 8th grader and since has averaged:

• 14/gm Freshman
  
• 19/gm Sophmore
  
• 22/gm Junior
  
• 29/gm Senior
  

Has really gone next level and not just on points scored. Assists, rebounds, steals, and deflections seriously impact every game. I don't think there is a better player in the state.

If you haven't seen her lately you should.
