I said Scott County will not win in their first year in the 11th Region and I am stubbornly sticking to that prediction. Although I do think they have superior talent, it is young talent and something tells me they stub their toe. Lexington Catholic by 3.

State championship caliber game on Friday night at the Civic Center. I love both team's style........"controlled chaos".

I thought to myself before this game was played that the officials whistle would determine the outcome. Not to say the officials were being unfair, but the tight whistle, all but eliminated Bryan Station. If the officials allow the game to be physical (especially on the ball), Bryan Station wins most everytime. With a more closely called game, check the statistics, Bryan Station's shooting suffers greatly because they can not get into their up and down the floor rhythm. Nice win for the Indians! I feel certain Coach Feldhaus will have the big sophomore in the gym working on his free throw stroke the next few days.

Billy gets a rude welcome to the 11th Region. I am expecting a big game from seniors Aaron Dunaway and Miller, and sophomore Victor Moses. Henry Clay advances on their home floor!

Henry Clay will win this one! Welcome to the 11th Region, Billy!

No doubt.....Scott County at Henry Clay. Henry Clay (ranked as high as second early in the year) versus Scott County (once the number 1 team in Kentucky) and to think that one of them will be out of the state playoffs after the first round of the district. Doesn't sound fair or right.......does it?

Who gets the ball to Wes Caldwell this year for Lexington Catholic?

Alex Fornash?

I get it........he is in Pendleton County's ROTC.......he shoots guns?

I agree with your assessment "Professor". Billy Hicks witnessed the same thing Friday night as he watched the Henry Clay/Bryan Station game. The way the game of the 21st century is allowed to be played, the word finesse is totally eliminated. Bryan Station ended up with six fouls in the second half......Henry Clay was playing at home and never got into the bonus. Honestly, I saw Bryan Station commit six fouls in one possession. Scott County and Lexington Catholic played the same way last night. I am sorry to say, I don't have the answer to clean up the "tuggery".

Congratulations to Scott Humphrey on his development of a very competitive Clark County team. He gets his teams to play hard and overachieve which is what it is all about. They have a real chance to come out of the 10th this year.

This is the first I have heard of this scenario. One of the rumors flying has Wake Forest's Prosser to Cincinnati, West Virginia's Beilein to somewhere, and Huggy to his alma matar, West Virginia. O.J. and company would then follow Huggy to WVU.

The shame of the redistricting is this....Scott County, a top five team, in my opinion, has a great chance to be out of the state tournament after one game. I say, put them back in the 8th Region or the 10th Region.

Maybe 2007.......I don't see 2006.

I concur! Henry Clay matches up well with Scott County off Scott County's home floor.

The word I heard was there is a teacher credentialing problem with Coach Burbage.

Land locked! Only way to grow is to build up.

True! I am all for it, but until the ball is kicked off or tipped off depending on which sport between a Lexington city team and Lexington Catholic, I'll just can't believe it.

What? There will still be 217 teams playing and, sure, there will be some teams with better records and a lot more than now with losing records and in the playoffs in your six class system. If you take 217 teams and play each other, there are still the same number of losses in a given year. And with six classes instead of four, it is mathematically impossible for there not to be more teams with losing records in the playoffs.

What is there to explain? If you expand to six classes, there is less competition for a title than if there were only four classes. This is simple elementary school division. Also, there is less "good" competition because you have many undeserving teams in your playoffs (numerous teams with losing records).

I admire your calculations for mathematical percentages that each school has to win a title. Now I'll give you a mathematical reminder that the major push for additional classes in Kentucky is because many people out there are under the false impression that the private schools win 95% of the titles.

Might should be finalizing their decision to hire Cornell Burbage or some other candidate. What is Burbage's status?

I am very familiar with Wright State University in Fairborn, Ohio. They have outstanding facilities including a beautiful, modern arena called the Nutter Center (Irv Nutter, the same philanthropist who has provided enormous donations to UK and has the indoor football facilities named in his honor). They are one of the best kept secrets in Division I as far as potential. Congratulations to Mr. Penick!

I say LESS competitive.

Rumor has it, West Jessamine should be.
