Have heard 2 more schools added transfers. 5’10 SR guard Lucas Thompson is at Larue from Central Hardin. Averaged 7 ppg last season. 6’0 Sophomore guard Tylan Spalding is at Taylor County from Bardstown. Averaged 2.5 ppg last season.

was curious about Barren. Adair scrimmages them next week at Barren.

Yes Jessie's family is originally from Adair and moved back here a couple of years ago. He had still been making the commute to Glasgow but this year decided to stay home and finish his career at Adair.

Look for Adair County to be a surprise team in 3A. Coach Steve Stonebraker led them to a 7-4 season in his first year as head coach and they return a lot with a huge senior class. Lane Grant was the QB last year but shifts back to RB and he rushed for 1500 yards and 20 TDS as a junior, Solomon Stonebraker returns at receiver with 58 catches for 888 yards from last season. The Indians return virtually all their skill guys. The big addition though is QB Easton Jessie transferring from Glasgow. He had 21 TDS to only 3 INT's last season and added 6 TDS on the ground.

Yes and just from what I've heard he's got a 6'3 AAU teammate from Pittsburgh coming with him also.

Be on the lookout for some impact additions for a top 5-6 team in the region here in the near future. Could possibly bump them to a top 2 team.

Saw a lot of the top teams in the region play this summer at various events. Anyone have a way too early ranking or things from summer ball they would like to chime in about leading into next season?

DCA has a nice team and will contend in the 12th but Adair was without 4 starters from last years state tournament team today Cochran, Loy, Coomer, and Grant due to previous scheduling at start of summer Adair had planned already to take a mix of varsity and JV guys

Fairdale was hit hard by graduation and transfers and North Oldham also lost top 3 players to graduation.

Results from Lindsey Wilson team camp today. Caverna narrowly defeated Monroe County Metcalfe County defeated Campbellsville Green County had a 10 point win over Russell County Bowling Green defeated Bardstown by 2 and Green County by 8

Scores from Adair County today. Adair County 69 Bowling Green 52. Adair without 2 starters Coomer and Cochran. BG without lead scorer Deuce Bailey but did have new comer Joseph Hurt from Fairdale who average 15 ppg last season. Bowling Green 88 Pulaski County 72. Pulaski without starting pg Carson Fraley but did have the 2 new starters from Wayne County Kendall Phillips and Seth Farmer.

Summer Games today at Adair County featuring 3 of last years state tournament teams. All game times are are central. 1:00 PM Adair County vs Bowling Green 3:00 PM Pulaski County vs Bowling Green 5:00 PM Pulaski County vs Washington County 6:00 PM Adair County vs Washington County

yes had all 3. Hutchison was really good in the game. Southwestern actually went 10-23 from 3. They look like a top 5 team in the 12th to me. Adair is just really good they played 4 upcoming seniors and 1 junior the whole game and never subbed, with the tallest one being 6'2. All 5 of those were in the rotation of the region title team last year. Whenever they get Coomer and Cochran back they will be a top 10 team in the state most likely

Thought we should start a thread of updates from summer games. Yesterday reigning 5th region champion Adair County defeated Clinton County 65-55 and Southwestern Pulaski 74-66. Adair is currently without 6'7 Isaiah Cochran who is out for the summer with an injury and also 6'6 double figure guy Brayton Coomer.

Miles replaces former coach Steve Barker. The last 2 seasons Miles was head coach at Thomas Nelson. Caverna returns a lot of talent, especially in the sophomore class and will be projected as a top 5 team in the region for the next 2 seasons.

Former Taylor County head coach Montrelle Irvin has taken an associate head coaching job with Green County. Irvin was replaced by Josh Kays as head coach at Taylor this offseason.

Ended up a better prognosis than believed. 4-5 month return to sports.

Some of the more recent big news out of the 5th region is the injury to Cochran from Adair. He had a severe leg/ankle injury in AAU a few weeks ago. Should be back before the season but will miss the entire summer.

Cochran from Adair won't be participating as he had a bad ankle/leg injury during an AAU even 2 weeks ago.

Yes doesn't make much sense to me tbh went 19-10 and 17-11 last 2 seasons. Did not make region but that district has been really competitive lately and losing to Larue last year in district shouldn't be seen as disappointing to me.

Heard yesterday Steve Barker is out at Caverna after 2 seasons. Not sure if this was by his choice or not. This could be a very attractive job as Caverna went 17-11 last season and return 4 of their top 6 players led by Jaylin Crane at point guard who has a D1 offer. Craine and 2 other starters have 2 years left as well.

Jeff Jackson is a sleeper candidate from what someone told me.

Yes this should rule Washington out as a contender. I think the region will be a 5-6 horse race next year. Adair, Caverna, Larue, Green, Taylor could sneak in if have additions. Central could be solid but no Decker.

Still hearing it'll be Josh Kays

Maze Stallworth announced he was the the new head coach this morning. He previously was an assistant at Washington County with past head coaching stops at Taylor County and Casey County. He won the region with Taylor in 2017. Thomas Nelson has had limited success the past few seasons.
