I did not realize Taylor Clos was all time leading scorer at Campbell County, boys and girls.

Lady Camels by 12

Me, too. I didn't have her for Math but she was good friends with my older sister and she would spend nights at our house. The boys both had her and it really mattered that she prepared them well for their careers. She's doing really well and works with a group of ladies each week organizing some of the oldest court records in Kentucky. Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread. Mrs. McGee was worth it.

Guess you can tell Mrs. McGee isn't head of the Math Department at BCHS anymore.

And the dislikes hits just keep on coming.

The two school systems have historically traded off on students in BC district going to AIS, and vice versa. Saw a message that BCBOE sent subpoenas to the AISBOE. Just was wondering.

Yes, there is some responsibility for truth. I'm not from a football school and I know nothing about you. What they're doing just isn't right. I think your situation can be applied and discussed anywhere. It's sad enough that they take a little bit of smoke and thru their own embellishment get a real bonfire blazing. That is impossible to address, maybe don't dignify it with a response. However, the flat out lies are a defamation of character and that person is trying to deny you the right to earn a living for you and your family. And that is so wrong. I don't know if you can prove they made those statements, but if you can I would seek some form of restitution. Even if it's the satisfaction of a formal apology.

Yes you have, I noticed that. Just want that vote for seeding BAD at BCHS, I guess. But I don't have a vote anyway. Told Papaw, at least in my case, we are keeping it all in the family. :thumb: Do you know anything about the disagreement between the BCBOE and the AIBOE?

No way in Hades.

Wow!

I'm not demeaning the award winning efforts of any athlete. I just couldn't care less about how other states run their programs. I am saying that the way it has been done in Kentucky, is the very reason we have the Sweet 16. A one of a kind experience. From listening to the Sweet 16 on the only radio a family owned or driving the car in the direction of the radio station broadcasting the games, so we could hear the games. Watching it for the first time, on television on Ch. 19 out of Newport,Kentucky . Making the trip to Freedom Hall to see it live, sacrificing spring break for love of the game. Then watching it the first time in Rupp Arena. Many of these young men, playing in Freedom Hall or Rupp Arena, had never played in a gym that held more than a couple hundred fans. It was THE pinnacle of basketball and to win it all was something an athlete dreamed about growing up. From their very first shot made thru a woven wood basket nailed on the side of their barn or corncrib. As you said you're not a native Kentuckian, so you didn't live, sleep and eat basketball. Lots of small schools couldn't field or afford a football team. But they could put a basketball team on the floor. THE SWEET 16 is the ultimate TRADITION and that's what you don't feel. It is the way we do tradition in Kentucky, it Is the right way and ALWAYS should be. I hope.

Taken from story in Lexington Herald Leader by Mark Story Sixty nine years ago, Cliff Hagan led his Owensboro Red Devils to win the 1949 Sweet 16 State Championship. Hagan would also become a player on teams that won the 1951 NCAA Championship and a 1958 NBA Championship and inducted as a player into the 1978 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. After his epic hoops career, to this day, the 86 year old Hagan says his greatest basketball thrill was leading Owensboro to that 1949 Kentucky Sweet 16 basketball championship. Just thought this might give you another viewpoint on why keeping the Sweet 16 the way it is and why it means so much to so many to keep it that way.

Congrats to Nicholas County on a home win.

I went with my heart for the underdog and the big hard working heart of Mason Burden. Congratulations Robertson County.

I know how the All A works, my school has been to state. That's not what I took the sentence to mean. Per Warbeagle- Perhaps have the tournament game "count as a true region game". Did Warbeagle mean take the place of one regional game if that team wins their District Tournament in March?

Perhaps even have the tournament game count as a true region game? Here we go. Sorry. Let's hear how this would work with the way it's currently aligned? This rabid nonclassificationist truly wants to hear this discussion.

No where, it's just an intuitive feeling I have, I guess. I was just answering a question from another post.

I've only had Internet a few years so I know I may not know Internet speak yet. I use all caps if I want someone to feel the importance of my reason. No, you definitely didn't get under my skin and all caps for me doesn't mean yelling. Ask my sons and they'll tell you, it's when I use their middle name. I grew up with 5 brothers and have 6 grandchildren, 4 of which are boys. If a post makes me feel like yelling I use this :taz: It's hard to demonstrate emotions without voice or facial expression. This is a good discussion that needs to be addressed.

I have no HATE for the All A or All 2A to come. Grief would better describe the loss of THE SWEET 16.
