As I stated in a previous post, the Royals schedule will prepare them for tournament time, many more big wins and help mature this young team. They are no longer a two man team.
If you look strickly at each team's schedules, I beleive you see that the Hill has played a more competive schedule and have played most of those games on the opponent's home floor. This will be the game that the young Royals come of age.
The bottom is, these awards should not be popularity contests. Results should speach for themselves and if you have a clear conscience after you vote for All-Area and COY, so be and lets leave it at that.
The big question this off-season is, "Why isn't Britt Faulkner on the All-Area Team?" Grant it, she is abrasive and rude at times, but that aside, she was one of the major reasons for the success of the Lady Royals and their return to the Sweet Sixteen Tournement. Any thoughts?
If this were a Ashland, Russell or Rowan Co. girl would it have happen? Another question could be, "Is it because RHCS is a private Christian school that the presentation did not occur?" I hope not! This was an outstanding accomplishment and merits the recognitinon no matter where she attends school.
There was a request to honor Emily Queen before the her game Monday against Fleming Co. to celebrate her becoming the all-time leading scorer and rebounder in the 16th Region, but was shot down. How come?
Any thoughts on how the young Royals will handle their first game after Ashland? Been reported that Oak Hills is the third largest public high school in OH and their teams are usually big, fast, and athletic.
No brawl, just a little disagreement, but was handled very professional by both staffs, the refs and the admininstration. After the game both team went to the center of the floor and had prayer. Its a physical game and tempers flair-up.
Dakota Euton (6'8") Freshman and Chad Jackson (6'4") freshman from Rose Hill Christian School in Ashland are most likely the two top freshmen in the state of KY. Both are very talented and know how to play the game the right way.
