As usual, you’re absolutely right my dear friend. I’m not trying to diminish anyone else’s accomplishments, just get Mike the recognition he deserves. I see the varsity time played while in middle school as a huge accomplishment in the 42nd, scoring his points against the best seniors Henry Clay, Scott County, and Bryan Station could throw at him.

So that puts us at 2324, still missing his 7th grade number. 86 shy of Allen.

When you talk about Fayette County’s top scorers, Dunbar’s own Mike Smith always gets overlooked because he transferred in from Sayre. When you add his totals from both schools together he’s definitely one of the tops in FC history. MM31, maybe you’re the man who can straighten this out. KHSAA site shows Mike scoring 954 in his 2 years at Dunbar, but those stats don’t have the whole season totals, they stop a couple games short each year. Got final numbers for those two years? While at Sayre, KHSAA shows 1267 points for Mike’s 8th, 9th, and 10th grade years, but there are no numbers for his 7th grade season, and he was on their varsity then. That’s 2221 total shown on the KHSAA stats. Add the missing points from a few Dunbar games and 7th grade at Sayre, and Mike Smith might challenge Mike Allen for 1st, and be no lower than 2nd. This won’t affect Taveion’s spot on the Dunbar list, but if you can document this you could get a Dunbar grad the recognition he deserves. Last I heard he was still rolling the numbers at Pfeiffer.

Most time slots have 5 courts going with JV and freshman games included. If anyone has a kid on a JV or Freshman team give me the team name and I’ll give you their schedule. Btw, to get enough bodies usually freshmen get pushed up to some jv games, and jv players pushed to varsity 1 or 2 teams. As a HS freshman my son once played 11 games in a camp day, and today he’s officiating 16. Your kids should sleep well.

Midway’s original announcement about going co-ed said: “Athletics – Recruitment of male athletes will begin for fall 2017.” Not saying they couldn’t accelerate all that if they wanted, just don’t think it was the initial plan. The St. Catherine situation could be an opportunity for them to jump start men’s athletics, for sure. Having to come up with scholarship $ for athletes won’t help their financial issues, but could help put them on the map as being co-ed and attracting additional enrollment. BTW, the women played as NAIA-2 and in the KIAC.

Thanks, PP92, figured you'd know! Congratulations, Vince. Well, well, well-deserved! Vince is one of the state's best students, no student-athlete qualifier needed, with 99th percentile on his college entrance exams and a top GPA, he has both ability and work ethic. Vince is choosing from among many top academic scholarship offers, I expect him to study engineering. Think I know where he's going and why but will let the family announce when they are ready. Quietly filled his role coming off the bench behind some of the best players in the state, he's a terrific player in his own right and was an integral part of the Charlotte Court 17U team that won the state AAU last summer. Unquestionably a fine young man. (Hey Ray - told ya so!)

Is this an academic award?
