Their schedule is possibly the weakest in the poll. Which is the main reason they will not be able to advance much above their current rank. 18 17 Memphis Overton (TN) 14-2 Beat a good Whitehaven team in their only game this week. 19 18 South Warren (KY) 15-3 Won 3 games including Glasgow and Muhlenburg Co. Still have to play at Bowling Green 20 21 MHEA (TN) 23-4 Beat a good Hamilton Heights team this week in Memphis. Should have a great chance of winning the Home School National Championship 21 24 Bell Co. (KY) 14-2 Beat Clay Co, Leslie Co and South Laurel and may not be challenged again during the regular season. Should win region 13. 22 27 Allen County-Scottsville (KY) 15-3 Won a number of games since the last poll beating Glasgow twice and Muhlenburg Co. Going to be a war to win this region between them, So.Warren, Bowling Green and Clinton Co. 23 28 CPA (TN) 16-0 Continue to breeze thru the regular season, could potential set up a undefeated matchup between them and Elizabethton in the state AA tournament. 24 10 Mercer Co. (KY) 16-3 Lost to a decent Nelson Co. team stopping an 8 game win streak over some good competition. Have a very good shot at winning region 12 this year 25 11 Holy Cross Covington (KY) 14-3 Upset by an ok Bishop Bossart team, but have strung together 3 wins in a row to get back on track. Have a huge game this Thursday vs Holmes which will go a long way in proving who is the best in Region 9 26 23 Morristown West (TN) 19-3 Upset by a South Greene team they had previously beaten then responded with a win over a tough Cocke Co team. Face Jefferson Co on the road on Tuesday looking to avenge a loss from earlier this year. 27 19 Ashland Blazer (KY) 12-4 Can’t seem to get themselves in the upper echelon of KY teams, losing recently to East Carter and Huntington (WV), both quality opponennts. 28 26 Mercy (KY) 12-5 Like Blazer can’t seem to get over the hump to be one of the elite teams in the state. Good enough to take down Butler one night then turn around and lose to Manual 29 NR Smyrna (TN) 14-4 Huge upset over Oakland 60-40 the other night and have looked great recently, with their only loss in 2015 coming vs Blackman. Have a huge matchup Tuesday with Riverdale. 30 38 Henry Clay (KY) 12-2 Have 2 losses all year by a combined 4 points, including a 2 point loss to Butler.

Huge matchup looms on Tuesday vs Baylor 35 29 White Co (TN) 19-2 Were poised to keep moving up but lost to one of the top teams in TN class A, Clarkrange. 36 36 West Carroll (TN) 20-0 Continued to keep winning and thus held onto their spot in the top 40. Looking like it’s going to be big showdown in the playoff vs. Gibson Co. 37 39 Houston Co. (TN) 22-1 Another TN Class A school that just keeps winning, although they barely escaped at Community recently 38 32 Simon Kenton (KY) 16-1 They were recently upset by Scott but still have a great chance to win Region 8 in KY. 39 33 Knoxville Webb (TN) 17-4 Have played great all year losing only to teams probably should have beaten them but finally had a bad loss the other day losing to Alcoa, nearly dropping them out of the poll. tie 40 NR Hamilton Heights (TN) 15-6 Despite having 6 losses, the most of any team in the poll, Hamilton Heights enters for the first time since pre-season. They have played without a doubt one of toughest schedules and possibly with the exception of Blackman and Elizabethtown played the toughest schedule of any team in TN or KY tie 40 34 Dyersburg (TN) 18-2 Recently upset by a good Martin Westview team but still hold an 18-2 record. UT-Martin signee Myah Taylor dropped 44 points in their last game Dropped out: #30 Baylor (TN), #31 Eastern (KY), #35 Briarcrest Christian (TN), #37 Murfreesboro Central Magnet (TN), #40 University Heights (KY) Others Receiving Consideration (in alphabetical order) Baylor (TN) 14-2 Brentwood (TN) 17-2 Briarcrest Christian (TN) 13-6 Bowling Green (KY) 15-5 Crockett Co.

Loved reading the other polls. I think ours and Bluegrass preps own poll are very similar, especially the top 10. I'd like see some of the other polls put out some commentary...I'd love to read their reasoning, behind some of their picks...ie glasgow who has 3 bad losses, IMO.

While Henderson's SOS on paper (vs only KY teams) maybe similar but they have beaten Mercer Co and Manual as well as playing 2 good Indiana teams. The out of state teams Holmes played in Florida where not particularly strong teams IMO. That being said...it is possible we have Holmes somewhat low, but ultimately keep winning and you will keep moving up.

We cover both states (We are the ONLY NCAA sanctioned recruiting service that covers both states), so we discussed doing two separate Top 25s but in the end, we felt there was enough cross-over, ie Paducah Tilghman vs Dyer Co., Murray vs many west TN opponents. Knox Webb playing in the Mercer Co tournament. Etown vs Blackman....and the list goes on that we would try our best to do a combined poll. It has been very difficult, but it is fun and creates a good amount of discussion...and at the end of day, creating increased discussion of WBB in general is a good thing. So blast away...I have no idea explaining why we put teams where we do in the rankings....we don't expect everyone to agree....the world would be a very boring place if we all agreed on everything.

We may have missed on Holmes earlier but they are in the poll now...keep winning and you will keep moving up. BG is a very good 10-5 team, a team who has played a much more difficult schedule than many teams, hence their record. 3 of their losses are to Manual, Mercer and South Warren. They have wins over Mercer, Webb (TN), Bell Co (3 ranked teams), so splitting with Mercer Co is not all that detrimental. Mercer Co other loss was a 4 point loss to the #2 team in the state Henderson Co. Hard to penalize them too much for keeping it close with the 2nd best team in the state. Btw the loss to BG was by 1 point....so their 2 losses are by 5 combined points. The reason Holmes is not ranked higher is that they have a very weak SOS. Graves Co who is a good team (but not ranked by us, bcuz even tho they beat Tilghman, they lost to Murray twice) is arguably the best team they have played (and beat) all year. GRC who should be better than they are....are struggling, although GRC has played a very tough schedule. And great point using Boone Co. Both Male and HCC crushed Boone Co, while Holmes only won by 5. Scores, SOS and W-L record factor in to our poll, not just W-L record. Thanks for you feedback....trust me Holmes has caught our attention and we will move them up accordingly. Beat HCC on Jan 22nd and that will be a high quality win.

Had so many teams behind them not lost and dropped out they probably would have dropped out too....if they lose again they will be out. Who from KY do you think deserves to be in front of them that isn't already??? Highlands? Dunbar? Graves Co?

Ridiculous to go all the way to Florida just to play another KY team.... And yes, there are sooooo many schools in Florida that there isn't enough talent to go around, so on average....teams are not as good as Kentucky and I would also argue the coaching in KY overall is alot better.

As the high school season draws near John McGraw Scouting took a look at our Pre-Season “All KY/TN Team” Pre-Season Player of the Year - Crystal Dangerfield – Jr. Blackman HS (TN) – UConn Commit The rest of our Pre-Season Picks - Pre-Season All TN/KY Team | John McGraw Scouting Service

2014 KY Middle School State Championship We eval'd 25 of the best 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 prospects in the state of Kentucky this past weekend. Congrats to 2020 Kennedy Harris (pictured #33 on left) for leading Southern Pulaski to the championsip over Noe Middle School of Louisville and 2019 Kiara Pearl (pictured #3 next to 2019 Jonele Ballard of Crosby #4). All Tournament Team - Jolene Ballard – Crosby Kiara Pearl – Noe Makayla Kinnard – Noe Raquael Reese – CAL Regi Ciundiff – Southern Pulaski Kennedy Harris – Southern Pulaski (MVP) Leslie Stewart – Dorton Haley Southernland – Casey We are offering a free preview of our content - 2014 KY Middle School State Championship

Owens is really soft??? I'm not sure that is even close to accurate. She is getting interest from multiple BCS programs and it's mostly becuz she is very physical and plays with a 'high motor'. Gilbert is a tweener but as she develops more perimeter skills it's a no brainer she will play D-1, although I agree not high level D-1. And your description of D-1 is skewed. D-1 is D-1....if we are talking about elite caliber Top 100-150 kids that's entirely different, there are very few of them in each state. Semantics I guess...since we certainly agree besides Owens they are all "low" D-1 caliber kids or maybe NAIA.

I'm not sure what this means. Henderson Co has a number of kids who will or could play D-1. Deasia Outlaw has multiple D-1 offers currently but has basically declined because it appears she doesn't want to play in college....Alisha Owens is a lock for D1, she has mid-major offers. The 2 guards who play for Indiana Elite have a chance and Mikayla Gilbert from Indiana Elite will most likely be a D-1 kid as well.

I think the logic to the people out of the area is Blazer beat East Carter the 3rd and final time last season when it mattered most, then advanced to the Final 4 in the state. I'm guessing the local perspective is that since Carter beat them 2 outta 3, you give the nod to Carter who returns the majority of their team.

1. I think we are being completely transparent here. We aren't hiding the fact that kids from East Jessamine play for us. That being said we prefaced our ranking with the fact it's a surprise pick aka long shot pick. We also stated they finished 5th in their region. If they don't beat the teams in their region or lose games to teams ranked lower or unranked then we will surely move them down and out of the rankings and eventually out of the receiving consideration. 2. I truly believe in the kids there and their coach. Could I be overestimating them...yes possibly, but this is the possibly the best opportunity I have to take a chance on them. If they lose a few games to unranked teams the opportunity to rank them will be low. So why not now. They were ranked in the 2nd to last spot and 20th of 20 Kentucky teams. I think they have a shot...I maybe wrong but it's my list. 3. With the exception of East Jessamine all of those schools have very good arguments for being on the list and their position on the list. Do you think there is anything else egregious? 4. Henderson - I don't see anyone else disagreeing about Henderson. I didn't rank them #5th in the state most of last year, that was the coaches or sportswriters or whomever does the state rankings. I don't know if I need to defend it further than has been stated, they didn't lose any players. Here's my more indepth 2 cents - Ashland Blazer lost in the semi's, Henderson Co right there with them in the first round despite their best player only playing marginal minutes. We ranked Blazer rite behind Henderson. Not that much of a stretch. We ranked Henderson 4th in Kentucky not 1st or 2nd. That's not a stretch....sorry you don't agree. 2 Butler (KY) 3 Elizabethtown (KY) 4 Lafayette (KY) 6.
