Wow.

From the article: The final straw came this summer. Bracken County had to cancel their summer basketball games due to lack of players. They only had a handful of players showing up to summer practices and could not get a consistent five to guarantee a summer team. They were also going to struggle to field at JV team next year.

Big transfer news out of the 10th Region.

If Bracken County and Kentucky combined their current rosters they still wouldn’t be able to have 5-on-5 in practice.

I think the ending point was only having 3-4 kids consistently over the summer. Didn’t have enough to play summer games and had to cancel.

This rule has not been adopted in Kentucky yet. The NFHS just allowed state associations to make the change if they wish.

I think it’s a good draw for Nicholas. They don’t lose a lot and Brossart loses pretty much everything.

They do the draw for all sports at the spring AD meeting. https://10thregion.com/draws-held-of-2023-24-all-a-tournaments/

Announcement Friday.

I think everyone agrees that EKU or LexLegends is the best choice. But when it’s unavailable, what is the next best option? Class A schools with baseball turd that I know of: Beechwood, Pikeville, Campellsville. Or what’s a nice 1A facility that’s centrally located and has hotels for teams?

He is coaching three rec league teams right now. Lol.

Head coach Logan Shipley has resigned effective immediately.

Sounds like a headache. Selling and buying a new house. Getting a new drivers license, changing your address on your taxes and all your mail.

Well that is something.

I think everyone did. Don’t know what it took so long and 5 interviews.

Interviews today. Who are the candidates?

Way more than I would have thought.

According to GameChanger, there were 55 combined walks. Neither team made an error. The Lady Devils scored 12 runs in the bottom of the 7th and stole home to win the game. Robertson County had 30 hits, the most in a game for a single team in KHSAA history. The 73 combined runs in one game is also the new KHSAA record.

Did he play in 1944? My Brooksville Polar Bears beat Newport in the region finals that year and was state runner-up. I think they were the only two teams in the region though. LOL.

That changed last summer.

High school enrollment: 2014 —> 749 2023 —> 699

Every student in KY brings them a base SEEK amount of $4,200. That gives them an incentive to accept every student because they get the money from the state on top of what they charge for tuition. Here is FTISD Criteria. I'm sure #5 would include athletic talent.
