This statement doesn't hold up anymore until they play and St. X defeats them.

I agree. My declaration om X is looking kind of flimsy.

St.X is better than Ballard

St. X should be in the top 25. They are huge. They will be a nightmare matchup for most teams.

I would keep the game going but only play it at Indiana.

Does the Ky All-star team have a remote chance to win either game? On paper it appears to be lopsided in Indiana's favor. I believe Coach Breeden needs to coach both games like a real game and not an all-star game. Play the best 8 players only. Establish roles for each one of these kids. If they veer out of their role during the game then sit them. They are not children. It would be nice to beat Indiana one time.

I love Colton's game. I think he will do big things at Ky Wesleyan.

Why was he taking shots so deep? Take the higher % shots.

I guess I did not articulate my point very well. 41% from 3 pt range is very good. The makeup of his team forced him to take shots from deep range. I was trying to say he has the ability to shoot off the dribble from deep while being guarded. Most high % 3 point shooters are stand still shooters who must be set up by their teammates.

I would take Mckim from St. X over any of these guys. He had defenders draped over him every game and shot 41%. Every time I watched him the 3's were borderline NBA range every time.

You started this farce with your farce. I can name at least a half dozen non-Catholic kids that played soccer or lacrosse for X. They were white though so I guess that doesn't bother you.

The only thing that bothers me is you would bring up 2 sports that nobody cares about and never will. Why didn't you include tennis and golf. Please.

So why did Deuce Finch and Victor Anderson go to X?

If you want to start naming every player for football and basketball I dont think it will be very close.

That's the X-philes latest complaint since Trinity has overtaken them in many sports.

 

The truth is I know several non-catholic student-athletes that have been on X rosters in various sports over the past few years.

 

They won't say what they really mean though non-catholic, BLACK athletes.

The catholic faith is what you would call conservative. African americans aren't big on the conservative philosphy. I don't see too many african american catholic churches around. Trinity somehow finds those few outliers.

St X simply could not overcome the bad karma strength and conditioning coach Mike Glaser brings to their bench. His complete hatred for Trinity is well known.

He almost gave out as many instructions as the head coach. St X AD Alan Donhoff was trying to coax the St X adults into standing and cheering during the OT session! Hilarious! You simply will not see Mr. Saxton or Mr. Lampley walking the sideline raising their arms to encourage fan participation. The $5,000.00 cash bonus for winning the region will help cover the travel too and from Lexington, KY next week.

That's funny about the $5,000. Just put in the endownment fund for those precious non-catholic school going athletes that find there way onto Trinity's roster every year.

Fact.

 

How about best in 8th? Owen? Done

How about best in 9th? CovCath? Done

How about best in 14th? PCC? Done

 

So best is a relative term with regard to advancing in the tournament.

Finally someone with some common sense.

Because they won?:idunno:

Nice rebuttal.

X may have had the best player but Trinity had the best team. There can be no question about that.

How can you say that? They split 2 games. Trinity should not have won either game. St. X out played Trinity the entire regulation last night.

Trinity played man the entire game.

St. X has had an incredible season. Can it continue?

I would like to say they improved throughout the season but they lost 15 of their last 17 heading into districts. Excluding B.E. and Doss the 6th region was worse than NFC East this past season.

I was going to say no excuse for PRP loss to Desales but after looking at who PRP beat this year it makes a little more sense. PRP had 1 good win on the season. That was Fern Creek. I can't find another good win. Very soft schedule.

Very good analysis of the matchups. I agree with all your picks. That might not mean you picked all winners. You know what I mean. I believe Ballard is done for the year. This team has drove Renner nuts all season. Without Darby their bench gets pretty short. I'm picking Trinity only because they are at home and they will get 3 or 4 home court calls that will help them beat Male by a couple. Waggener is the worst matchup in the entire region for X. X's height is negated and obviously Waggener is more athletic. Eastern will beat Manual for the 3rd time.

I don't like the idea of picking CO POY's. If you're going to do that then Mckim should have shared it with Cook. Pick a winner. Stop trying to appease everyone. It's either Goodin or Faulkner and either Williams or Tisdale.

Did anyone get hosed?

Some of you have drank way too much of the T Sharpe Kool-Aid!

Is this Region really good or just really average?

 

I saw top team Male recently beat Newport by 4, needed a half court heave to beat St. X by 3., and struggled to beat Eastern by 4.

 

Trinity has lost to 11 Region teams Henry Clay, Central, and Dunbar.

 

Ballard is not your typical Ballard year and St. X rounds out the top 4. After that the drop is pretty big.

 

I have not seen any in person but based on some of the scores and results, I think this is a good, but not great region this year.

 

 

 

Ballard is down,

I have seen all 4 teams several times and they are each AVERAGE. This is not a great year for the 7th region. I would still say the 7th is not that far behind what the majority of people deem as the best region in the state.

Sharpe is absolutely 6'1". I've actually stood beside him.

We will just agree to disagree on his height but can I assume you agree with my statement about his handles since it wasn't refuted.
