KHSAA Penalizes Holy Cross (Louisville) For Bylaw 10 Violation
KHSAA is so mad at Trinity they decided to put Holy Cross on probation again. They aint doing anything that any other school in Jeff. co is doing public or private.

Butler 2013
Most of these kids and several from PRP all played at Prairie Village little league: Ferriell, Willman, Goodman, Lewis, Groah,Thrasher, Carden, and Blevins for Butler. Johnson and Beams for PRP. Carden's dad was League president. They had some good all star teams a few years back. Its a shame that AAU baseball has kind of watered down little leagues. PV was fun place to be on Saturdays.

Butler 2013
I would have to mention Dallas Adkins. He might be their best player when healthy. Its a shame he has so much trouble with his back.

New gym at Valley
I also heard that with Ft.Knox expanding it was built to possibly draw those kids and families. Heard from a JCPS athletic director that the Federal Government agreed to chip in 5 million to the project but required it to be the closest school to Ft. Knox. No proof of that just what the guy said. I think it will get better over time. Agree with the lobby, concessions, and entrance being to close together and not big enough. It would have been nice to have some chairback seats also. bleachers are tough to sit through for 4 straight games.

Trinity 53 Ballard 52
Just saw the foul call pretty bad call. Congrats to Trinity. 6th and 7th region tournaments should be fun

Fairdale 55 St. Xavier 52
Fairdale rallies from an early 13 point deficit and 5 down to start the 4th quarter to avenge an earlier loss to X. Fairdale will advance to face the winner of Butler vs Eastern Friday at 7pm. Fairdale's Josh Payne needs just 2 points to achieve 1,000 points for his career.

KHSAA State Leaders
Only eight Louisville schools reporting. If everyone posted their stats it would certainly change some but those are still pretty good individual and team stats.

Yes. Shame schools dont do it. Great recognition for your players throughout the state. KHSAA should make it mandatory.

Goaltending On Shot At The WRONG Basket? What's The Call, Ref?
I asked a similar question to an official after a youth league game I witnessed. A player went to the wrong basket and shot and was fouled in the act of shooting. The official did not really have an answer. After checking on it, he called me back and said that it could be a foul but the player would not shoot free throws because it technically is not a legal shot. So Im guessing that it would not be a legal shot at the wrong end so it would not be goal tending.

Fairdale 96 Beth Haven 30
Beth Haven is really down this year. Normally they compete and Coach Morgan does a good job. Fairdale had 27 steals and 21 assist. When they share the ball like that they are good. All 5 starters can score. Need to develop some depth. Fairdale played everyone last night and their starters sat the 4th qt. Actually Beth Haven did better when Fairdale pressed. In the second half They played half ct man and some zone and Beth Haven only scored 2 points. The 35 pt mercy rule with the running clock was beneficial last night.

Butler 66 Pleasure Ridge Park 64 OT
That will definitely help the panthers. I knew they had one playing football just wasnt sure which one. Great game and atmosphere at Valley's new gym. It was hot in there. Has potential to become a great venue for big games.

Butler 66 Pleasure Ridge Park 64 OT
The only one that I know of is Sawyer and he played sgnificant minutes. Butler is not big size wise but they are strong, physical, and athletic. I thought that wore PRP down especially in the press. PRP didnt seem to have a go to guy down the stretch. Harris posted and had a couple good looks but looks limited down there. Wants to go to his right for a jump hook type shot and Butler did a good job pushing him out. Butler had McReynolds to go to. He took over and knocked down some huge 3's.

Butler 66 Pleasure Ridge Park 64 OT
Butler rallies from a 15 pt deficit in the second half to defeat PRP in OT. Sr Demetrius McReynolds led Butler with 21 pts including several big time 3's to lead the come back. Butler turned the tables on PRP with full ct pressure. I was surprised that PRP would struggle against the press. Butler has had a great week playing the top two ranked teams in the region in back to back games.

Fairdale/ Fern Creek Predictions (12/6)
Fairdale jumped out to a 27-11 1st qt lead and it was really never close from that point on leading 44-22 at the half. Final score 76-50 Cory Thomas -24 pts, 6 ast, 6 steals Caleb Longacre-9 pts, 7 rebs, 3 ast Boo Crabtree-11 pts, 8 rebs Josh Payne-16 pts, 4 ast, 3 steals Darren Lowry-9 pts, 9 rebs

Running clock?
Thats the problem coaches have to deal with especially the good teams. Dont the varsity kids deserve to play also. You have freshman and JV games for the younger kids. Varsity kids work hard each practice to play also. I actually think coaches will sub more knowing that its a running clock.

Running clock?
I would not have a problem with less teams making the post season. I think you should have to earn it. However it should be against your level. The all A classic is successful and well attended because those schools have a chance. Pretty hard for a school of 200 to beat PRP or Eastern here in Louisville when they have over 2,000 students. So in the current set up I have no problem with every team going to post season and a running clock at 35 point deficit is appropriate

Running clock?
As Long as you dont have a class system then yes all teams in basketball should go to the post season. Im not advocating for a class system at all, but Im sure schools would win more games and be more competitive playing against schools their size. As far as the running clock, football in Ky has it. I think its good and bad. It doesnt give coaches much time to play younger players. Running clocks go fast. Its good cause it gets the game over and some coaches wont sub. By the way Florida has had this rule for years.

Fairdale 81 Jeffersontown 48
Thomas-28 Payne-16 Crabtree-13 Lowry-14 Longacre-6 Longacre was the only starter not in double figures but had 6 assist and 6 steals. J-Town right now will struggle. Not sure if the football players were out.

Cats Pause 6th Region Preview
North Bullitt and Bullitt Central declined their invites due to competitiveness. They dont want to play in LIT. Not sure they should get an invite anyway because they dont play all the teams in the region. They pick and choose 6th region teams they will play. I think East would play in it every year. I dont really blame them for going to the Bass pro shop tournament when you have the team they have. All expenses will be paid for. The LIT is hard for schools to determine how many games to play. You can play 30 games so teams have to schedule based on how many games they think they can play in LIT. From what I hear East is the only school that dont like being in the 6th region. Kinda funny since they could very easily win it for the 3rd year in a row. The other Bullitt Co. schools hate East and are glad they are not in the same district with them.

Cats Pause 6th Region Preview
Got to love basketball in this state especially in Jeff. Co. I'm beginning to think there is no rules regarding transfers.
