Read my last post. Gilbert can score, pass, rebound & play defense. If he were on PCC, he would be ranked even higher on the state charts. He was tripled teamed nightly & had to work hard since he was the only scoring option (wearing down & sometimes taking less than high % shots). Things should change now that Stamper can help with the scoring load & he can only be double teamed instead of triple teamed. He is the BEST player, not the Best player on one of the Best teams.

Craig Hodges use to fill it up in the NBA from the 3 point line. Is he the best NBA player ever?? Gilbert scores, passes (more now that he has more help), rebounds (i'm guessing but around 10 a game at least) & draws the #1 offensive player from the opposing team (either the point or center, he guards all).

Hicks is a good player!! Stats are important as long as the players are playing "team ball", playing hard and have a good attitude. To quote Eric Clapton, "Tonight's the night" 14th region fans!!!

Owsley faithful are just that "faithful" 1st game in booneville: traditional will beat lee since they hadnt won in booneville in 19 yrs. lee wins by 13. 2nd game in beattyville: lee cant win 2 district games in one year and they get smith back. lee wins by 19. 3rd game in All "A": Owsley are playing better & 3rd time might be a charm. This is what is great about High School basketball!! Stick with your team!! Ditka playing the Bobcats?? I'll take Ditka 100 to tree (3).

Not to bring up bad blood between these 2 but I found it really enjoyable reading about the last game between these 2 schools (i think it was the last time). There was talk about cheating, playing posseum, injuries, posters & the kitchen sink i believe. I hated they closed that thread!! Will there be more tricks up these 2 teams sleeves come friday???

He would be a better player?? He probably would since there has been a coaching carousel the last few years & one coach would benefit & one philosophy. He might be a better player but he wouldnt get mentioned as much or his stats wouldnt be as good as they are.

You honestly think Bailey is better than Gilbert?? thats how i take your remark. Bailey is a really good player but Gilbert is shoulders about any other 14th region player.

NO! I think Gilbert is the best without question but that was a summary of what people have stated & there opinions. Those were all mentioned as "the best" so that would be a good start for a top 10 but most vote with their loyalty to their home school.

Gotta go with Wolfe in a close one

What about LCC's JV?? anyone know about them. were the schools combined, i would guess there are some varsity guys from last year playing on their jv. anyone played them??

Owls will be hard to handle the rest of the year!!

lets see: #15 OC beats #3 JBS, #13 WC beats #2 Haz, #14 BC beats #5 LC The 14th Region is hard to rank!!!

This has been a fun season!!! Every game is going to be nip & tuck. Just when you think there is going to be a blowout or an easy win, you get fooled once again (LCC against Jenkins, KCC against Lee, JBS against PCC) & everything gets thrown out the window once again. Rankings should be posted on a day to day basis since there seem to be upsets every night.

The thread is "who is the best player in the 14th region." Although Bailey is a good player he is not "the best" and probably not consistently in anyone's top 5. Take away Hazard votes & he's not in anyones top 5. I guess, Bailey is better than Gilbert???

This should be an excellent game. Owsley is playing much better. Lee seems to have woken up from their nap. Owsley has matchup problems with Rich. While Owsley has 2 good scorers in Neeley & Smith. Owsley goes about 6 (maybe 7) deep & will be playing 2 games in 3 days. Lee plays about 9 & will be playing their 3rd game in 5 days. I think all excuses are out the window here & the best team will win!!!!

Congrats to the Wolves & good luck friday!!

no arguments here!!

thats true. I know people said that jackson city use to use lee's college floor & it was college size. the added feet would make a difference over the course of a game. Nets also make a difference. running teams have small nets so that the balls go through easy. Teams that want to slow things down have big thick new nets that seem like will hold the balls in them.

Yes, I think that if your on the floor more you'll have better stats. Stats i'm refering is points since that's all that is in the herald leader & why many people know congleton. A kid averaging 25 mins a game will have more points consistently than a kid with 15 mins per.

Would he be mentioned as much if he were at lee since many of those players i havent heard of as much as congleton (fetters, johnson). heard about brandenburg & "the twins" but really not good with their last name.

2 overtime games. that would have been worth the drive to knott co.

Have you seen everyone play??

Is puckett their go to guy??

:thumb: Do people still call it "the palace"? I named it once & people said it hadnt been called that in a long time. if they dont, they should!!!

AGREED!!! Home Court is HUGE!!! court is the same size & goals are all 10 feet but everything else sways towards the home team. 1. no driving 2. familiar goals and gym 3. more fans (environment vary but are 99% in favor of home teams on any given night) 4. clock keeper & other personnel (how many home team fans have been put in jail by their sheriff?) They may leave the gym by referee request but very few go to jail. 5. referees (varies depending on out of region & other factors)
