Ditto, ditto, ditto. He's not only a super basketball player, but he's a great kid from a wonderful family. Way to go, Robbie!

Congratulations, Robbie! What an outstanding young man and athlete. You and your fine family are an asset to Clark County.

How many points did Cameron Hall have?

Cameron Hall had 20, don't know about the rest of the stats.

So glad to see the discussion of Ft. Knox and Ft. Campbell schools' football programs. A lot of the younger students and players on our message boards aren't familiar with our big military posts and their high schools. Since I live here, I know more about Ft. Knox than Campbell. Ft. Knox covers over 109,000 acres (170+ sq. mi.) spread across three counties and is Kentucky's 7th largest urban community. One town, Muldraugh, is completely encircled by the reservation. Its census shows 23,000 soldiers and families with a day-time population of over 33,000 (cilivian workers, etc.) M-F. And, of course, with the new BRAC realignment, many more families are soon expected. The construction crews are practically working night and day to get new housing ready on post, including a new, state-of-the-art, $16M Ft. Knox High School to be completed in May 2009. Also, the surrounding communities are building new homes and new schools, especially in Hardin County, anticipating the added growth. I have a lot of friends associated now and formerly with the Fort Knox program. So, it'd be great to see them rise again to their fame of yore. Go Eagles!

While some families still like to live off base, there are many who choose to remain on post and occupy the beautiful new "subdivision type housing" at Fort Knox instead of the old quarters of which many have been or are in the process of being torn down. With the BRAC realignment even more families will soon be moved to Ft. Knox and the student population of Ft. Knox DOD school system should greatly expand once again. However, I believe that the waning of Ft. Knox football began with the loss of Coach Joe Jaggers to the neighboring North Hardin High School in Radcliff. Joe had his pick of talent in this large high school of about 2200 students. And he knew what to do with it. Coach Jaggers is a member of the KHSAA Sports Hall of Fame and was a highly successful football coach of winning programs at different schools throughout the state. His Trigg County teams won back-to-back Class A titles in '71 and '72; at Fort Knox his teams won Class AA championships in '83, '88, and '90 and were runners-up in '84. His teams were regional champions 12 times. And he had two sons who were fantastic football players: Marty is coaching in Harrodsburg and the younger Crad is in his first year as coach of North Hardin where, incidentally, I read that he won his first game, knocking off Shelby County. I'd like to see Ft. Knox become competitive once again, but it's going to be hard to replace an icon like Joe Jaggers. Maybe this new coaching staff will be a good beginning.

Central Hardin is one of three high schools in the Hardin County School District. It has an enrollment of about 1800 students and, even though it is listed with a Cecilia, Ky address, it is situated only a couple of miles west of Elizabethtown.

Nice compliment, Fastbreak.

Mark it down. It is official. Jeff Hall is the new head basketball coach at Glasgow. Nice article in the Glasgow Daily Times on July 25. A complete story on Hall's hiring with details from Friday's press conference will appear in the Sunday, July 27's edition.

He will also be a faculty member, teaching health and P.E.

Christian Academy of Louisville (CAL) is quite unique. It is comprised of four different campuses with a total of 3069 students and is listed as the largest Protestant school in the United States. Quite impressive!

E'town has some exceptional talent, especially in the Dickerson girl and Alex Jones, the daughter of Charles Jones who was a standout at the University of Louisville.

73-64 Final. Fairview cut it to 4, but had to foul to try and get the ball back which stretched out the score. Looks like a valiant effort by the Westwood boys.

No...just have someone calling me on the cell with updates.

54-47 with about 7 minutes to go in 4th qtr. Very physical game.

Someone from the 5th Region said that three names were being tossed around down there. Paul Gray, the former superintendent's son and Marty and Crad Jaggers, sons of the former football coach, Joe Jaggers.

Yes a soph but will be 17 in March....How much more will he grow???

FYI...While Euton is a sophomore, he will be 17 in March. Maybe a better comparison by birthday.

My post was for information only and to answer the question of who from the 16th region has played D-1 and (could have) played in the NBA. It was in no way meant to compare Mayo to other present/former players from the 16th.

Jeff Hall, Fairview, Class of 82; played at UL; member of the 86 national championship team; drafted by the Pacers, but chose to go on to graduate school at UL

They were to play today at 10:15 PDT but the schedule got messed up and they missed a game last night. Due to flight schedules, it would have been their last game anyway today win or lose. Don't know how individuals did because the website doesn't list high point like Vegas did. Anyway, shooter must already be gone, think other DS teams are finished also. Tourney is over today.

DS east 16u won their game yesterday in LA and are playing today before heading to KY. Some more KY boys doing great - way to go!!!!

Yes, the 16U Derek Smith All Stars - saw him play this weekend at the Simon Kenton Invitational. He's the real deal. Also, I think the son of Jeff Hall, another UL player on the '86 team, plays on that team. Cameron Hall must be playing up because I think he's only a freshman. However, he can fill it up and shoot the threes!

Any BGP members going to the 30th Anniversary of the McDonald's All-American Game Wednesday night at Freedom Hall? The Jam Fest slam-dunk contest was unbelievable on Monday night. Blake Griffin, an Oklahoma University signee, won the contest which was judged by Bill Walton, Denny Crum, Darrell Griffith and others. The Courier-Journal said that there were still some tickets available through the Freedom Hall ticket office and Ticketmaster. What a treat for any young girl or boy basketball player to see the best highschool players in the nation like Nolan Smith (Duke), O.J. Mayo (USC), Michael Beasley (Kansas State), Chris Wright (Georgetown), Nick Callathes (Florida), Jai Lucas and Patrick Patterson, plus seventeen others. Wednesday TV Schedule: 5:30 p.m., Girls' All-American Game, ESPNU; 7 p.m. Jam Fest (taped), ESPN; and 8 p.m., Boys' All American Game, ESPN.

The #1 Lady Trojans changed their typical style of play to adjust to the drastic size disadvantage and slower pace of Clay County's game. Even then, North Hardin outrebounded the Lady Tigers, 32-30. When Clay County tried to shut down Brown, North Hardin wisely shifted its offense away from her and went to Leavell, Prince and Linda Dixon who could either knock down 15-footers or drive to the basket. North may have had some lulls in the third quarter, but they maintained their poise and did what a winning team does...change its style of play, adapt, and keep its cool.
