  1. Agree. Though he does have Jalen and Shorty coming back this year. Of course there are rumors about Jalen potentially moving to louisville so perhaps that is a factor. But after this year, with all that hoptown loses, the cupbard will be fairly bare. As they tend to do in the 8th district, things are starting to shift away from hoptown.
  2. It is my understanding that something changed with this rule and is part of the reason why he transferred to BG. Time will tell on where he will be next fall. BG was his 3rd school in 3 years...
  3. Something is wrong with that family if they are letting the "travel ball" coach make the "decision".
  4. It's up to the kid. But if he's a pitcher and he wants to play "year round" he's doing nothing but hurting himself. ALLLLLL of the research says that playing multiple sports makes you better at your "main" sport than if you just play that sport.
  5. I've heard Harmon is going back to Nashville and that it was the plan all along as TN doesn't allow 8th graders to play varsity.
  6. The rumors of kids leaving schools are started by the other schools. A. KYKY loves UHA. B. Even if he wanted to leave his mom wouldn't let him. Even as a Hoptown fan, I can say this. A kid like Kyky (uber talented) is better off at uha. He's got nba talent. He needs to be doing everything he can to make sure he makes it to the next level. And as much as I hate to admit it, there are too many examples of kids not getting qualified coming from hoptown and county. Though County's track record is better lately.
  7. Have heard unconfirmed rumors in hopkinsville that Haworth would love to have the BG job.
  8. Tougher to get talent to hoptown now that we don't have school choice... wonder how well he will adjust? Hopefully we'll.
  9. Terrific game. Happy for our team. Just don't think we can make a run in lexington, or frankly, win tonight playing the way we did in our comeback. If I'm henderson i'm pretty ticked at the inconsistency in the officiating from about the middle of the 3rd quarter on. The "pushoff" called on their guy was REALLY bad. Chris Jung from the new era had it happen right in front of him and he caught it on video. Barely even extended the arm. We dialed up the physicality and pressure and henderson wore down. Did I see that they return something like 10 seniors next year? With us losing several key contributors and not having a ton of young talent, county losing two key contributors and heights losing holowell maybe our reign ends next year?
  10. Yes, the region doing the super regional in east ky didn't get rid of district tourneys. They gave the district tourney winners buys. Think the runnrers up got the next 4 seeds and then they seeded based off of region/district records after that. Not exactly sure how it worked
  11. Huh? Both teams in the district final make the regional no matter what. District tourneys wouldn't go away... you'd just have all 15-16 teams make the regional and it would be seeded with the dirstrict tourney winners getting the top seeds.
  12. And the stupidity of the regional draw is exposed again. I think every region to go with a "super regional" Henderson is right there with us and county. We've been inconsistent and I'm not sure we can beat Henderson and county back to back nights.
  13. Jalen is so tough. Love That kid. Feel like he's under-utilized. Sometimes I think he's the better guy with the ball in his hands
  14. I'm here too. We can't complain about the offficiating. We seem to be catching all of the breaks.
  15. I agree 100%. I've watched myself coaches stage fake signing day ceremonies in order to make it look like they are getting their kids to college. Kids who have the talent but aren't making the grades or aren't getting the help from the high school coaches. It's a shame. We've seen it a lot here.
  16. So what about ceremonies for kids who are playing for a club team?
  17. Several schools are having signing day ceremonies for academic scholarships too. Which is terrific.
  18. Nope. Read what I said. I said that my problem is with kids who sign fake papers when they aren't even playing real games. See my comments about jefferson community college. And I know that NAIA offers "scholarships" But they are not like NCAA schools. again, I said that I think a kid should hold a signing ceremony when they are going to a real school and playing on a real team...
  19. There is nothing signed when you are walking on... For NAIA there isn't a letter of intent. for division one you do sign a letter of intent if you are receiving a scholarship. But when a kid "signs" with Georgetown or something similar it's often just their financial aid paperwork. That's my understanding.
