Winning three tough games 90 minutes from home is tough for anyone. Simon has as good of a shot as anyone. Simon will be in the region. They are the 1 seed and will easily handle Williamstown. Gallatin will be there. 1 seed and should win their first game vs Owen or Eminence. These two teams may meet again.

Simon has a great team. This is a bump in the road.

LCA has a quality big and several guards that can shoot. They made shots and forced WV's guards to have to shoot. They missed. Bonne is about 70%. He played on guts. LCA did not let Jones have any open looks. LCA is the better team. It wasn't anyone's fault. The better team won.

Give Lloyd some credit. They are afraid to play them Saturday. I understand why, they have a better record than Spencer.

Gallatin plays Collins, Anderson, Shelby, Simon, Holmes, Oldham, Grant, South Oldham and Walton Verona every year. Yes, I believe they are afraid of Spencer. Wow, what a take. They aren't allowed to practice or play until Monday. My guess is the trauma of potentially playing Spencer has infected the entire community.

Football classification is a mess. The first two rounds are blowouts and generally the same 4 to 8 teams dominate each class. The current basketball format celebrates making the state tournament as much as winning it. I see no reason to change to classes.

He has had a special run over the last ten years. Well deserved, a good guy who works hard at his trade.

Any explanation for this whipping?

Carroll County will host the district.

Carroll wins this one.

The original post says teams from Kenton, Boone and Campbell. Walton is in Boone County. Pendleton is ... Pendleton. It does not matter to me. It just seems like Walton would count.

I never understand how Walton Verona is not part of Northern Kentucky. WV would be number 3 and Miles number 1.

I didn't say they stacked up. The district is what it is. Basically five A schools. I think everyone in the 31st knows the other districts hope to draw them in the region. My point is several of the big schools have gone home early from a loss to the 31st. Owen, gallatin and Henry have advanced.

Gallatin defeated Anderson at Anderson, Collins at Collins and Shelby at Shelby last year. Throwing shade at the 31st isn't always accurate. Five small schools, granted, but the 31st usually makes some noise in the first round of the region.

Glad to see the Cats getting the win.

Simon Kenton will be very good. I wouldn't sleep on Oldham either. There is still plenty of talent there and a great coach.

A good win for the rebels.

I believe a number of these kids have been granted a release to Carroll County. Will this effect the competitive balance in this district? WV beats an all star team of this district but I believe Carroll County is now #2.

Temple under John Chaney then Georgetown under happy. The 8th has several quality coaches, Gaither is my pick as the best. Good guy too.

Campbell would be my #1. They were very impressive the two times I saw them this summer.

Yes, just one year. Curtis never stayed anywhere very long. He liked to poach talent and move on.

Curtis turley was the first coach at Collins. Gaither is the second. South Oldham will be very good. They have had a couple of move ins as well. Oldham still has talent. Collins and WV are above the rest. South, Simon, Oldham and Spencer in the next group. Gallatin may be best of the rest.

Coach loved high school basketball. I frequently saw him at Gallatin, Henry and Anderson. Loved good, hard nosed man to man defense.

Drinking out of a Clorox bottle. He was old school before there was a term of old school.

Hudepohl is a good young qb. Young is a solid rb. Need some big boys to block.
