8th Region Coach of the Year?
ConverseAllStar replied to Adrian Woj Burner's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Based on BluegrassPreps.com state rankings, both North Oldham and Collins have outperformed their preseason or early-season rankings. Woodford was ranked in the top 20 to begin the season, but has struggled with injuries since day one. Woodford and Anderson's wins over Collins surprised me, but Collins overall record and ranking suggest they have outperformed expectations. North Oldham has been without their 2nd leading scorer for the last 5 or 6 games. That injury may come back to hurt them down the stretch with games against Grant, Spencer, Collins and St. X. Thus far, both Collins and North Oldham have exceeded early expectations and are ranked in the top 20 in the state - definitely making their coaches worthy of post-season accolades. -
8th Region Week 9 Review

This is a good week for Grant to prove some doubters wrong! -
North Oldham 67 South Oldham 38

A little hard to believe the margins of these three district games and where they were played: South barely loses to Oldham County at OC; North struggles to beat Oldham County in overtime at North; North soundly beats South Oldham at South. Logic suggests that most teams play better at home. The OC-South district tournament game will played at North Oldham - should be a good one! -
8th Region Week 8 Review
ConverseAllStar replied to Adrian Woj Burner's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Were Higdon and Anderson in foul trouble Friday night, or did they just struggle offensively? -
King of the Bluegrass is the best high school tournament I’ve been to. Great teams & individuals, coaches and kids are treated right, good value for the fans, friendly volunteers, etc. That said, there can still be years (like this one) where the bracket gets unbalanced. I also doubt that Fairdale will often be paired against one of the tournament favorites , and as host they have definitely earned that right!

Looks like this could be the year SK returns to Rupp! -
As predicted on an earlier thread, the lower bracket of the King of the Bluegrass dominated the upper bracket. In every head-to-head matchup, the lower bracket team defeated the upper bracket team, leading to lopsided results in last night's games. Warren Central (lower bracket) beat Great Crossing 89-56 in the championship game North Oldham (lower bracket) beat Lyon County 107-73 for third place Sagemont (FL) (lower bracket) beat Larue County 79-55 for fifth place Trinity (lower bracket) beat Harlan County 74-62 to win the consolation bracket

8th Region Review (Week 3)
ConverseAllStar replied to Adrian Woj Burner's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Collins really hasn’t been tested thus far and their 18-point win at Larue County is looking more impressive. We’ll learn a lot about them after this week’s games. -
Male 74 Fern Creek 27
ConverseAllStar replied to Randy Parker's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Fern Creek has one good win (Trinity). Their other wins are not impressive . . . but that still does not explain a 27-point performance! -
This is big news if accurate.
