When does Cooper play again?

Read the post!

Saw Behanon had 40pts 16rb and the flu for this game. Very nice performance for Mr. Kentucky.

No one from the JV or Varsity team has quit St Henry. Not sure where that rumor came from. Barnett is out with a broken fibula and thats hurt this team from a leadership standpoit on the floor.

No one quite understands that this St. Henry varsity team has 4 games of varsity experience and have played a very tough schedule so far (Brossart, Holmes, Highlands, Grant). No one on this team except Barnett has any varsity experience from past years due to the past 2 classes having more than 7+ seniors in each class.

As for the JV team....they have been a bright spot so far. They started with a OT loss to Brossart and then bad 2nd half cost them a win against Holmes. Then beat Highlands and Grant by around 10 but led throughtout those games. Its too early for varsity speculation in 2011/12. But a lot of players on JV are going to be pushing the Juniors and Seniors on varsity for their jobs.....and thats a good thing on both sides.

Bottom line is this teams going to have to get better and play better basketball. Lack of experience isn't a excuse that Coach Faust is going to accept.

Ive been saying for the past 2yrs that Nick Johnson is a STUD. I love this kids game. Inside and out he defends. He's got a great jumper and is very athletic. Not to mention with his size he can play 1-2-3.

Nephew of Vince Johnson is someone UK is missing out on. He is a leader and winner. He is what the 2011 class needs to win a championship.

Last season I had the same feeling about Tobias Harris.....It kills me to watch these two guy and know they won't be in UK BLUE.

St Henry has 1

Who are the freshman playing for Boone this year? Any nice players?

What people don't understand about this St Herny team is that it basically have ZERO players right now with Varsity experience.

The past 2 seasons varsity experienced players like Cameron Speed, David Zumdick 2yrs ago and Ryan Anderson, Ben Bessler, Jake Hils last season all have come and gone. Now the kids playing behind those talented players are finally getting there chance to step up. And to add to it....the only player with any big game experience (Barnett) suffers a tough injury in the first game of the season.

But don't get me wrong....Im not making excuses for the CRU. They still have a lot of work to do and have to get better on both sides of the ball.

Sounds like more like Heritage Acadamy or Covington Latin in NKY. But these schools are classified in the districts with big schools like Boone Co, Conner, Ryle, Cooper and Holmes, CovCath, Holy Cross.....but they just forfeit the regular season district play. Sounds like something the administration at BROWN might want to consider.

Heritage doesn't play district foes in the regular season but does play in the Tournament play.....most usually 1 and out.

This game was pretty tight throughout. It was helter skelter out there. Impressed at times by a couple young players at Grant Co.

Overal it was just an ugly game by both squads.

1. This is the fastest Holmes team I've seen in the past 15yrs

2. Hayes is a legit top 3 player in the region. Maybe #1.

3. Holmes pressing up 40 in the first half was a bit rediculous.

Any Dixie people have any idea if Keyvon Rice has had a ruling yet on his eligiblity?

You guys need to see the entire list. Top 100 has Neltner and Doellman included.

As of now they are saying 6-8wks for Barnett. Hopefully he can come back by the ALL A vs NCC.

Barnett broke his fibia against Brossart and will be out for some time.

This is just a hunch.....but Im pretty sure Elijiah will end up at West Virgina. He had a connection to get into Chipola....BOB HUGGINS!!!

Like I've said before. Top 10 is pretty wide open. Top 6 or 7 teams are definetly top 10 but in no real particular order. I think we'll see a lot of teams in that top 3 catagory throughout the season.

As for the Top 10 players. Its basically the same. You could name 15-20 guys who could be Top 10 players in this region.

Can you say WIDE OPEN?????

Where was Keyvon?

Nic Rechtin-St Henry

WOW WOW WOW....Congrats to the Lady Cru!

I've put up my top 10 list many times in years past. I looked at this one this year and knew all the players. But this is one of the toughest years to rank players in the area in my opinion. The competition is very spread out. No one is a clear cut favorite like Holmes and CovCath have been over the past 5-10yrs.

Another reason its so hard to rank the players is the differences in positions and types of players.

This year has some good post players, some few good wings, a few good shooters, and a few good point guards. Most years I can point to a somewhat legit top 10. This year I believe its pretty wide open for the kids to prove themselves as the season begins.

Its unreal how some Boone parents and followers can't realize how great of a Coach they have in Coach McQueary. The problem isn't the system or the coach....its the kids and the parents.

Boone's system works great. Just look at McQueary's recent success on the court. He has done a great job with the players he was been dealt. I believe Gabbard and McFarland are both playing college ball. He has also coached some other good athletes; Cotton (baseball), Brown (football). IMO, he has done a great job with his program. He runs a very disciplined system that demands player's respect and attention to detail. I know he has had to fight lots of outside pressure since he took over and has succeeded in spite of all the outside distractions. Kudos to Coach McQueary.
