I thought I had heard that Royals team disbanded in January last year? Can some one confirm that this Nationally ranked Royals team disbanded or folded last year? If they did, why? The current Royals team playing out at SOAS does not look like a Nationally ranked team?

I think it would be an upset if Brossart beat Campbell County.

Nobody even mentioned this team in the thread. Congrats to all the NKY teams on their seasons and good luck in High School. 14. Legacy Elite 2018 Kentucky Wonder how the ranking where decided as the 1st and 2nd place teams at this years Nationals in Mason came in at 13th and 14th in the final D1 rankings.

Lexi Held and Legacy made the trip to Nashville this weekend for the End of the Road Showcase. Jonathan Hemingway tweeted that LegacySportsKY and Held caught the attention of the college coaches at the event. #PSBEndOfTheRoad @LegacySportsKY are catching college coaches attention w/ a win over Memphis Elite. PG Lexi Held (KY-18) is one to watch

Sounds like you are comparing them in your original post. Legacy Elite added 4 new players to this years roster and they have never used adding new players as an excuse or justification. The comment about made about this years tournament schedule and about Legacy Elite pulling out of playing you that's total bull. (I set their schedule) I don't recall your team playing in the Super Regional at Midwest held in March and you would have had play up in the high school division to have been able to play them. The only 8th grade division tournament that Legacy Elite played in this year was D1 State (I don't recall your team playing in either 8th grade division at the State Tournament this Year) the rest of their schedule had them playing in 9th or 10th grade divisions at tournaments. The comment you made about destroying Legacy second team. Your team and Legacy's second team played in 3 tournaments and they didn't meet on the court in any of those tournaments. I think Legacy 2 actually finished higher at GBA Nationals than your team. I hope this debate is over now. The 2018 class has a lot of talent and will be exciting to watch as they enter High School. The topic of this thread again was that a 2018 team won the 10th grade D1 Tournament. I hope that everyone can now stop talking about where they believe other teams compare against them. Start a new post with that opinion next time so you don't take the focus away from what Legacy Elite earned to promote your beliefs.

2014 D1 and D2 National Rankings D1 - 4th Legacy Elite 2018 D2 - 4th Shining Stars Jones 12th KY Shelby Valley 15th Legacy

The Shining Stars 8th Grade - Jones have a really strong team. I think with 2 top 5 finishes at D2 AAU Nationals it might be time.

You can qualify for any division based on your finishes at the different Super regionals held through out the spring. Those Super regionals hand out bids to Nationals based on the Number of teams entered into each event. To be eligible to play at Nationals you must play in a District Qualifier if your AAU team is based out of KY that qualifier is the State Tournament you can play either D1 or D2. For a bid to Nationals a team can finish 3rd in a Super Regional would give them a D1 bid based on teams then they must play in the State Tournament. They can finish last in the State Tournament and still play in D1 at Nationals. The long story is if your team plays in a Super Regional and the State tournament and Earn a D1 bid you can pick which division you want to play in. YOU MUST PLAY IN THE STATE TOURNAMENT TO BE ELIGIBLE TO PLAY AT NATIONALS!!!!!

Why is the 8th Grade Shinning Stars team making a claim and comparing themselves to the Legacy Elite 2018 team that has played and earned it's ranking? The title of the thread talks about Legacy Elite winning the D1 10th grade title against the best players from the talented class of 2016. Legacy's Elite 2018 Team deserves the praises it has earned by playing on the court not posting how they deserve to be considered a top team on this thread. If you want to compare yourself to Legacy then why are you are playing D2 step up and play D1 that's where Legacy Elite will be playing. AAU National posted it's power rankings for the 2018 class prior to this years tournament last week and 4 of the top 15 teams in the Country are with in 60 miles of Downtown Cincinnati: 5-Cincinnati Finest, 11- Dayton Lady Hoopsters, 12- Bridgette Williams All-stars, 13 - Legacy Elite........

Both teams are headed to 8th Grade AAU Nationals next week but they won't play in the same Division. The Legacy Elite 2018 Team will be playing in D1 and the team your talking about will be playing in D2.

Fingers crossed..

Congratulations to the Nky Legends on your finish in Nashville Hoopz Showcase Summer Slam

Legacy sent 6 teams to the GBA Nationals in Mason,OH this past weekend with 2 teams reaching the Semi - Finals: 8th Grade Team - Coach Friend and 6th Grade Elite - Coach Croslin. In the next month Legacy will send 6 Teams to AAU Nationals: 5th Grade Elite - Reinhardt D1, 6th Grade Elite - Croslin D1, 6th grade - Hinton D2, 8th Grade - Friend D2 and 8th/10th Grade Elite - Piepho D1.

Legacy out of NKY is doing a great job with their girls as well.

The decision on the coach was made prior to the the posting for applications even expiring. They did not interview all the candidates that applied for the position. Coach Menafee walks into a lot of talent returning 16 Varsity letter winners from last year. With what CC returns and what the other schools in the district lost to graduation and transfer I think CC should be the favorite to win districts. I hope he can get the girls to play for the name on the front of the jersey instead of the name on the back.

I believe Legacy played in the tournament to test it's best against the other programs out of NKY. They will not be taking a bid a way from any of those teams that entered the tournament for AAU Nationals. Bids to AAU Nationals are granted by the number of teams that compete in a given grade division and any team that does not use their bid then that bid would go back into the pool for other teams to use. There are some issue with how the AAU Tournament was run this weekend as it did not follow the rules that AAU post for that age group. Simple things like a 30 second shot clock, and play in games for the 3/4 and 5/6 teams for the final spots to Div 1 and Div 2 for Nationals.
