Good luck coaching a player who has played for 4 teams in 4 years.

Bring Coach Bolin out of retirement!

Nobody is disputing Ateny's impact. So don't make it about that. Some people have common enough sense to read between the lines dude. Getting on here acting like the draw is a big reason that DCA was fortunate enough to make it through is not non-biased coverage that you have convinced yourself that you provide. It didn't take a genius to figure out that the crowd was gonna be small last night. You got a school that has an enrollment of 75 total high school students vs a school that is known for not supporting teams well. Have you gone to a West Jessamine home game lately? How was the West and Somerset game attended at West? You were there.? And by the way it's an hour and a half drive from West to PC and around an hour from DCA. I was at the 2020 region championship game at PC that West ultimately won. I was shocked at how poorly attended it was on West's part. Did you see the semifinal game between West and Boyle this year? Crowd was terribly low. Don't think low attendance had anything to do with the people boycotting. ? The DCA versus Mercer championship game was packed last year at Lincoln. Obviously not to the level of a Lincoln versus PC or some of your bigger county/ public schools. It was well attended to say the least. I know you're hurt bro. But in all honesty you guys had a great season. You had one really big win at DCA. Everybody knows you're a good coach now. Enjoy, you've made it!

Championship game was great last year and the championship game was great this year. Of course the games are not gonna be as clean and as efficient this time of year with all the pressure, aches, pains, illness, etc. But the championship game is consistently competitive. Only game that I remember in recent years that the championship game was a blowout was when Somerset got run out of the gym vs PC a couple years back. But that was only because Somerset played a triple overtime game with DCA the night before I'm sure. Don't get on here and say, "when you're rolling things go your way." The draw for DCA last year definitely didn't go their way and they found a way to win. The best team won this year. The best team won last year. Give credit to DCA staff and players for a nice run the last few years. Hard working and selfless group. Gonna have to grow up one day COY!

I agree on the best two teams playing for the championship. Just not much room to breathe as a top seed in this district. I would say Lincoln was probably a little better than their record indicated. Especially with the schedule they played. Had some quality wins over Wayne County, Southwestern, at South Laurel, and two teams in the 11th that were battle tested. ( Sayre and Lafayette) And then to think about Danville being the five seed, and having wins over three regional qualifiers; Somerset, SCS, and Boyle.

DCA did not get much of a reward for going undefeated in a very tough district. Credit to DCA for battling and extending the lead late in the second half to secure the victory.

I believe $50 gets you a single membership. That is one vote. The school account provides up to eight votes. Doesn't have to be assistant coaches. The school decides who is on the account. AD, principal, etc. could vote as well. Not exactly a "fair" setup.

The player of the year and the coach of the year awards are unbelievably biased. Way too much tension in this region for coaches to be voting for anything. "Good ole boy" system also in full effect.

I can assure you Ateny won't win it! Lol Coaches won't vote for him. They didn't give it to Boyd last year, and won't give it to Ateny this year. It will be Phillips I'm sure. However, I think Absher has a real case!

I agree. I'm going upset here! Absher can play, and he has an underrated supporting cast!

I don't think you can judge the quality of the field based on whether or not a team advances to the sweet 16 six weeks later. Obviously year in and year out the best teams don't always make the sweet 16. I'm sure you know you have to have a lot of things go your way at the right time to make it out of the region. Especially with the quality of competition that some of these schools have to face in the region tournament. So once again, comparatively speaking to the fields in the past, this is a weak field. But It's OK, it is still a great event with lots of good teams, and your team will have a chance to win a big game. And don't worry, if they do win a big game, nobody is going to take any credit away from you (them) for doing so!

Yeah, it's definitely a weak field comparatively speaking to what it's been in the past. Nobody is saying that KSR is the end be all. But they do a fairly decent job of ranking teams throughout the season. And yes, there are some teams in the event that we could see in the Sweet 16.

The All A classic is a fantastic event, and very difficult to advance in. But this year seems to be the weakest field it has had, maybe ever. Last year there were four teams in the top 10 in the KSR state rankings heading in; Hazard, Clinton County , Green County and Danville Christian. As well as the defending state champions (Lyon County). Still a great event. I know that Lyon County wants this championship really badly, so that would be my pick!

I agree with you. Be hard to argue with what Adkins has done there over the last few years. Looked like to me his players were really fresh all region tournament. I mean they were down 11 to start the fourth to 29-3 and top 5 in the state DCA which everybody knew was a considerable favorite in that game. They rallied in the fourth to take the lead and had a good chance to win. Seems like a coach I'd wanna play for!
