Being a PC grad, I would have to say that all of those great battles we had with Bracken back in the 80's. It didnt matter which team might have had more talent, it was always close, especially back in 84 when we were region runners-up and only beat them by 2. While the old gym in Brooksville was not my favorite gym, it was hard to beat that place in a district final. It was always packed and hotter than you could ever imagine.

Very good point. As I have said before, Wells did a great job in a short period of time but Feldhaus did it over several seasons, sometimes getting alot out of not much talent.

How about Henry Clay from 83-84 that featured Steve Miller, Jeff Blanton, and Greg Bates? I know they manhandled DeMatha when they had Danny Ferry.

No I have not to all that many regional tournaments but I have been to several gyms. I guess you could say that I am a little bias but its just one mans opinion.

Hands down it would have to be the Fieldhouse. The atmosphere there at regional time is second to none.

What about Brent "Boogie" Flaugher?

It would be an understatement to say that Wells didnt do a great job while at MC but I feel that a great coach is someone who did the job over a long period of time and you are exactly correct in saying that some of the best coaches this state has ever had never won a state title or even coached in Rupp.

Philip Wood had several really good teams at PC while Turner only had really two good teams and those came back to back in 84 and 85.

I actually considered Coach McCane, but when I went back to the Orange Book for stats I didnt see his name mentioned... What about adding Keith Randolph and having Gary Russo coach?

With all due respect to the Seiters, I think you will get quite a few arguments from the Feldhaus', Myricks, Jacksons, Kelschs, Turners, and Gays.

Talbert Turner at Pendleton County. He also played without the 3-point line and scored over 3,000 points.

Mary Custard from Harrison County.

Beth Wilkerson at Paris.

I would love to know how a thread which starts out as someone asking about how the 10th region will be this year, turn into another bashing of PC, the "recruiting process of Pat Elliott", and how conveniently a teaching position became available at this time? I have nothing but respect for Brossart and I think they have a great program but the bottom line is the fact that in recent history each program has one regional title apiece and that is what people tend to talk about, not who won the lower Campbell County 5th grade Catholic League title seven years ago. Lets move on.

How can you have Augusta rated ahead of Pendleton? Like I have said before, PC will be down but there is no way that they will finish lower than Augusta.

Granted, PC will be way down from previous years but I think that overrated is way too harsh of a word to use.

No PC did not have any transfers come in. But like I said earlier they will not be as bad as some people may think. In the 10th this year, after you get past the top 3 or 4, you can throw the rest of the teams in a hat. IMO, Middleton is better than those three and should probably be rated higher.

I do not know how you cant have Middleton in your top 10. He played very well for the top team in the 10th last year. As for Pendleton, while they wont be as good as last year, they will still be very competitive.

I wonder why Pendleton doesnt play them again this year.

I couldnt agree more that this is a joke. Having had the opportunity to see both Belcher and Cooper play several times, how can you have them listed somewhere? I dont care if they are the last players listed.

Mason beat Clark in the finals.

I am not sure of the year but PRP played Hazard. After some of the worst officiating I have ever seen go against Hazard, nearly everyone in Rupp began rooting for Hazard. Although Hazard lost, it was a great game.

How can you possibly compare these two situations? It is not even close.

Congrats to an outstanding young man and nothing but the very best!:dancingpa
