JCPS board voted to cut bussing to traditional schools so not sure what impact will be but Male will lose some students due to this.

Those exceptions are Central and Western high schools, which both have a 75% threshold of students on free or reduced lunch.

Like always, the 7th Region will be tough again as the top teams all return some big-time players. One thing that can change things is transfers which at this point is unpredictable. Saint Xavier (30-4) returns all five starters with Chance Dillingham 17.0 ppg, Jeremiah Jackson 14.8, Will Hanke 11.5, Jermaine Cameron 8.6, and Graham Krezmien 8.1. They also return all their key reserves and look to be one of the best teams in the state. Trinity (27-8) returns three of their top 5 scorers and will certainly be capable of winning the region again with Jayden Johnson 11.5 ppg., Julius Edmonds 11.5, and Josiah Lawson 5.0. They also return some key reserves. Male (22-11) returns maybe the best shooter in the region with Cole Edelen 21.4 ppg., along with Jayson Gasaway 9.9, and Keashawn Jordan 6.5. With a player like Cole Edelen they will be a contender in the region. Manual (28-5) returns their top two scores with Malachi Coleman 15.9 ppg and Justice Decker 13.8. This duo is one can build around and will have a formidable team and can't be counted out. Ballard (14-16) was young and improved throughout the season and return four of the top five scorers with Sam Frazier 18.4 ppg, Nate Richardson 11.6, Cash Whitehead 10.6, and Nick Hayden 7.9. They also return Cayon Gaines 7.0. These Bruins should resemble the Bruin teams of old more than they did this year.

He's the opposite of Kenny Payne as far as energy so I look forward to seeing what he can do. He's going to have to hit portal hard since most of current players are in portal.

I've heard that they can get around Cronin's buyout due to loophole in contract since they are changing conferences so would make him a candidate and he would go to Louisville because coached there as assistant plus is into horses.

Top targets are Scott Drew, Dusty May, and Jerome Tang. I will be fine with any of those guys.

Congrats to the Shamrocks!

After Seneca upsetting St. X, I'm sure the Shamrocks will be on their A game plus they play defense unlike St. X. It strikes midnight for Cinderella and the Shamrocks move onto the Sweet Sixteen.

QuelRon House had 31 pts and a triple double. I watched highlights and St. X defense was terrible. They haven't been a great defensive team all season but have over came that through great offense. If they have bad shooting night then they don't have defense to fall back on.

Yeah, they beat Seneca by 30 last game. If you don't come ready to play against 7th Region Player of the Year then this is what happens.

Huge upset for Seneca! Congrats to them. Tigers return whole team so hopefully learn from this.
