John C Punkin Combs to be exact.

If Estill plays like they did against Jackson they will lose by 25.

You are right there. Estill is capable of playing better and they will have to in order to not get killed.

Disagree 100%.

Have you seen him play? If so, how many times?

You guys are the same guys that most likely said Neltner, Draud, Knowles, Pelphrey,Feldhaus, Farmer couldn't play D-1 or in the SEC. I am sure I am missing several others that were not among your D-1 picks that went on to play and contribute to D-1 teams. It amazes me that we seem to know what void Pearl, Billy G, Donavan, and the rest of the D-1 coaches in the country are needing to fill. Whitaker could play the point for several D-1 schools in 2 years and there are even some in the SEC that could use him. And if you think they have to be seniors to be looked at you should apply for the UK job because evidently Billy Clyde should n't be looking at younger kids.

Elliott has the guard play to prevail any tourney time. By 7 in a close one.

Mason by 10.

What about Knott Co. Central?

Mason by a dozen.

I agree.

LCC BY 6. GUARDS, GUARDS, GUARDS AND GUARDS. THEY CAN DEFEND THE 3 AND PCC ISN'T BIG ENOUGH TO OPEN THE 3 UP FOR THE COMMODORES. SHOULD BE A GREAT GAME.

I love Big Al but he inherited a pretty nice team and it's pretty easy to coach good high school talent. I like what was done at Cordia and what Hatcher has done as a coach against some pretty big odds and shoes to fill.

You are right about him being a Sophmore but you stated that there were no players capable of playing in the SEC. This kid is capable, has the tools, and will play D-1 providing something doesn't happen to jeopardize that. There aren't 2 or 3 kids in KY that are ready to play in the SEC right now, including Miller, Hopson and Mack. There is a difference in capable of playing and ready to play. You stated there are none that can play in the SEC and that is far from correct. I would say we have a least 2 play in the SEC in the next 2 or 3 years from the 14th and 15th.

LOOK EVERYONE!!!!!!!!Clark Stepp can play college ball but NOT D-1...... He needs to go to Pikeville, Cumberland, or some good NAIA school. He could start maybe 2 or 3 years at a good NAIA school.

 

There are NO PLAYERS in the 14th or 15th Regions that can play in the SEC......sorry!!!!

Disagree! Josh Whitaker-Hazard can play in the SEC. Maybe not every school but there are some good fits for him and his abilities in the SEC. It as amazing to me that every year the so called basketball gurus say who can and can't play in certain areas but every year there is a kid or two that graduates from a D-1 school after playing and contributing to those D-1 schools.

Potential upset but the stars would have to align perfectly. Hazard by 6 or 7 in a scrappy ugly game.

Doesn't deserve an answer! The Sweet 16 is just that SWEET!

I think LCC's guards make them tough against anybody, including Hazard. Breathitt really looked lost in that game.

LCC played well. Got hot early and never really looked back. Powell's kids played hard and kept in close (6 points at one point) but just couldn't overcome LCC's effort. I really think LCC or PCC can give Hazard all they want on Monday and Tuesday. Both are well coached and athletic.

Powell has to play well and contain all of KCC's weapons. KCC has several athletic young ladies that can light it up.

I like PCC because I think they handle the ball better and I look for PCC to press the entire night. PCC by 5.

We used to use the bleachers to help with our kids rounding the bag at second base. Running straight into the bleachers will make a young man think about running the bases and not just running the bases. Crossover step drills are always a way to mix conditioning and baserunning. It gets old but there are hundreds of drills to use. I think catchers and pitchers have more fundmental drills to use but just get creative because it's tough to keep it flowing inside. Kids get tired, coaches get aggravated and then practice becomes a burden.

Cordia wins! Cordia wins! Upset of the year in the mountains. May not happen but I sure like the odds and would rather be Cordia with no expectations than Hazard with the weight of the Dawgs.

I like Estill by 6 or 7.

I'll bet it's closer than anyone thinks!

I am all for him. I am sure he is a good kid and a decent basketball player but in order for him to ever play he needs to consider a small D-1 school or NAIA school. Doesn't shoot it well enough to play D-1 and at that level all guards Are 6'1" to 6' 6" inches tall which has given him a considerable advantage playing in the mountains that he won't have in college.
