Will that affect their roster, record and possible bowl eligibility this season?

How much money will 3rd pick guarantee him? I know it’s probably over 6 million.

So sorry to hear about her injuring her knee. Hopefully she will be back for at least some of the season. I am looking forward to watching some of her games on the streaming services. She impressed me very much at the state tournament.

Oh, that’s so sad! I hope she makes a complete recovery. She has such a bright basketball future.

Danville Christian had the most impressive player in the Sweet 16 in March in my opinion, Grace Mbugha.

Just heard Henderson County is up on North Laurel 10-0 late in the game.

Any score on the championship game? It started at 7:00 and it’s now 8:30.

Isn’t this a slight upset? Trinity was on a 20+ game winning streak.

I don’t know if they will end up there this fall when school starts but Perry Central’s leading scorer last year, 5’10 guard Kyra McAlarmis, is playing summer basketball with Knott Central. Her mother was coach at Perry Central last year but was let go after the season. Kyra also has a sister in the 7th grade that’s going to be a very good player in the future and will probably play some varsity this season. I also heard that Knott Central has a girl around 6’3 that has moved in from another state.

Louisville may have a difficult time getting another PGA Championship. The golfers were already complaining about the traffic logistics, and some of the tv analysts were criticizing the course for being too easy for PGA caliber golfers in one of the big 4 major tournaments.

I was told that Powell had a very good catcher and all around player that was hurt against Breathitt and may not play the rest of the season. He is a key player for the Pirates. The catcher is more important than many realize. One who has the ability to not allow balls to get past him and can also hold runners on first base is so valuable. If he is not able to return it may hurt their chances of winning a regional title.

This would have to be considered a big upset. Powell is reigning champions of the 2A state baseball tournament and is thought by most to be the favorite to win the 14th region.

I don’t know all the facts, just what I have read in this thread, but is it possible Scottie was confused because they had allowed some vehicles in front of him to go through that route and he may have thought with his car marked as a player’s vehicle that he was okay to go that way as well. He said he wasn’t aware the officer was holding his car or dragged. With the darkness and rain maybe he mistook the officer’s directions.

I’d would liked to have seen Owsley County’s Addison Terry made the team. She’s one of the state’s top returning juniors in my opinion. Of course I am more than a little biased being from Owsley, lol. Update: I’ll add this edit. Addison is a sophomore this year and not eligible. I wasn’t thinking.

Someone give a few details about this school. Is it a new public school? Is it a private? What’s the high school enrollment? Basically I’m just wondering. I had never heard of the school before seeing this thread.

Personally I don’t think the NCAA will allow the transfer portal and NIL to stay exactly like it is now. I believe they will sometime in the near future pass a rule that will limit the number of times a player can enter the portal to one. As for the NIL I don’t know how they will address that issue. I’m not too familiar with it but do schools and players have limits or caps to how much can be spent or earned? If not it will become like MLB where the big market franchises with money dominate the sport in most years.

No one seems to be commenting too much about the effects the transfer portal and NIL have had on mid-major universities in sports but in my opinion it has pretty much destroyed their chances of building sports programs with any kind of continuity like they have in the past. All of us can think of stars from the past that excelled at mid-majors and stayed through their senior season in football and basketball. But that has changed. Morehead State two years ago lost a very good 6’10 player to Auburn is just one of many examples. Players all over the nation are jumping from the mid-majors to the power conference schools. As Bob Dylan’s song says, “The times they are a-changing”, and for the mid-majors it’s not a good change in my opinion.

That’s a big loss for the team. He would have helped immensely. And there’s no players on the team east of I-75. He would have been the lone 606 representative.

South Carolina was just too tall for Iowa. They owned the boards and blocked or altered way too many shot attempts by the Hawkeyes. I sure hope Coach Brooks is able to bring in some talented size to the UK program. That’s something that has been lacking just about every year and it’s difficult to compete in the SEC without it.

Powell County has 649 students grades 9-12 Estill County has 646 grades 9-12. Almost identical enrollments. Perry Central and Letcher Central are both larger but not by a great amount. I agree, both these 56th district schools should be a competitive factor every year in basketball in the 14th region. They definitely have the numbers. They just need the player development, which starts in the lower grades.

Huge blocking foul on UConn with seconds remaining and them down 1 point.

Hazard is an easy pick as the region favorite next year. They return everyone from a 27-6 team. They probably had the best team from top to bottom this year but Breathitt was able to squeeze the Bulldogs for 2 of their 6 losses. The two teams were 2-2 in the games they played with Hazard’s 2 losses to the Bobcats both overtime games. They matched up pretty good with Hazard and basketball can be a game of matchups. Hazard beat eventual region winner Perry Central all three games they played. The Commodores lose Kizer Sloan but have all other players back. Breathitt graduates Isaac Bellamy and Jaxon Hamilton but return Sperry, Terry, and Gross. I had heard some rumblings that Sperry might transfer to a prep school but that as of late that may not occur.

UConn’s blood has become more blue than the celebrated Blue Bloods of the college game. They have joined the ranks. I don’t think anyone can beat them again this year. They will have 6 national titles, tying North Carolina.

Two traditional football powers playing for a trip to the Final Four. As Dylan said in his song, “the times they are a-changing.”

Sorry, I can’t ever hope that Duke goes far in men’s basketball. ? I’ll just take a chance on it not affecting Kentucky in any way.
