Nice Job HC! Keep it Rolling!

I have had the pleasure of watching the NCC team from the start of the year to finish. I wish they could of represented the 9th region in the State tournament, they create such tough match ups for majority of teams. I don't believe you can place any blame on the NCC coaching staff, gotta give Holmes the credit. Thought the NCC schedule was on point through the season (King of the Bluegrass, etc,incuding the All A), in preparation for their run at the Region. The stars lined up just right for Holmes and they played the best I've seen all year.

Congratulations NCC, to a fine program, terrific young men, and wonderful families. I would hope each player will take something positive from this loss, (easier said then done) and have a absolute impact on their lives. After all that's why we love to play, coach, and watch the greatest game on the planet!

I see Taylor Jolly been scoring well for the Camels. I like her style of play. She can light it up when she gets hot!

Congratulations Madison! The Lady Raiders can create some noise in Late Feb early March if they are firing on all cylinders! Good LucKk

LOUISVILLE MALE 69, RYLE 54 — The Raiders hung with Male, one of the state's top-ranked teams, for three quarters but the Bulldogs pulled away late for the road win.

Ryle was tied with Male at the half and trailed by only four heading into the final stanza in part because of a game-high, 25-point effort by guard Madison Jones. The junior had a hot shooting night, hitting 10 of 15 shots from the field, including a pair of treys. Junior forward Aimee Jump added 13 to the Ryle effort.

Male (15-1) got back in the win column after having its perfect record snapped by a 73-61 road loss at Henry Clay on Wednesday. The Bulldogs were led by sophomore forward Logan Calvert's 16 points and 15 from freshman guard Ciaja Harbison.

I appreciate your input. But how do you know where she is playing and what plans they have for her. I know many Ryle players and they are in the dark as to what the season holds for them and the underclassmen. Ryle has a very strong junior class. Five of them are being recruited from D1 down...would be hard to keep any of them out of the line up and start an 8th pr 7th grader ahead of them.

BYLAW 3

BYLAW 3. MAXIMUM NUMBER OF YEARS BYLAW 3. MAXIMUM NUMBER OF YEARS

Sec. 1) LIMIT OF FOUR YEARS

A student promoted from grade eight (8) to grade nine (9) shall

have four (4) consecutive calendar years of eligibility from the date

of fi rst promotion by the school provided the student is eligible

according to this and all other Association bylaws. The eligibility

shall conclude with the completion of the spring sports season

following the fourth year. No additional eligibility may be granted

in a case where the grant would allow a student to compete in all

or part of the fi fth competitive season in a single sport following

the initial promotion by the school from grade eight (8).

Sec. 2) ADDITIONAL ELIGIBILITY

The Ruling Offi cer and the Commissioner through the Due Process

Procedure, may grant additional eligibility in the case where it

has been documented by the attending physician, Principal and

Superintendent that severe illness or injury has prevented the

student from receiving necessary education services and the right

to an education has therefore been impacted rather than simply

the loss of athletic privilege. The grant of eligibility may only be

made in the cases in which the student-athlete would remain

eligible by all other Association bylaws. This provision shall not

include additional eligibility strictly for loss of participation due to

sports related injuries. No additional eligibility may be granted in

a case where the grant would allow a student to compete in all or

part of the fi fth competitive season in a single sport following the

initial promotion by the school from grade eight (8).

Check out BYLAW 3. Maximum Number of Years KHSAA BYLAWS,, Let me know your interpretation..

That strategy is a very real & common strategy used by coaches in more than one sport. Once a player has played at Varsity level (no matter what age), they are locked in to that school & unable to transfer without sitting out a full year. The exceptions would be change in address or fighting the matter with school board. In theory, a HS coach cannot "recruit" players from different schools & that would include MS, but we all know it happens. If this practice of snatching top MS talent to play up for that purpose continues to be allowed, before you know it we'll see freshmen forego their last 3 yrs of HS to play college or better yet have HS Draft selections!! Sounds extremely outrageous, but a few years ago so did seeing a 7th grader playing on a large school Varsity team!! Just another example of how politics ruin sports!! Whatever happened to letting the talent speak for itself?

Ditto...politics ruin sports!

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I was told moving a player up and only playing varsity was done on a gentlemans handshake. After reviewing KHSAA rules, it is clearly stated that it is a KRS that the principal approves any and all promotions. It also is clear that you can only have 5 years max eligibility at varsity level. If this is true, not sure why someone would forfeit their senior year....? Can anyone shed some light on this?
