What time does Boone play E-Town?

I think when you ask who else is in NKy is as good you will see a heck of a match up this week with Tolliver and Jacey Bradley from Boone.

There are a few more girls from around here going to TMC. Carrier Fay from Ryle, Mindy Merrit from Belvue, and Alicia Williams from Boone are all returning for Coach Neil

Congratulations, You have had a great career at Boone make sure to finish strong your senior year. I guess Mom and Dad will be putting some serious mileage on that Lincoln.

I think you have the advantage of knowing who I am because your hypothetical question and your other post suggests you are refering to my daughter. I will be the first to admit along with her that divison II would have been the best she could have done. NAIA divison II was the perfect fit for her and her education and to say that I am dispariging a player when I said she will be able to play at the next level is ludicrous. I do not know Allison or Jaymie but I do know basketball talent and the original question was does Allison remind anyone of Jaymie. So take your championship and be proud of it and quit trying to make something up that is not there.

Sounds like you have something personal in this. What does driving to the basket and only shooting from the outside have to do with anything that I wrote. I think if I had nothing better to do than to go back and check all your posts for prediction accuracy I would be able to write a few things on here also. Not once did I disparage Allison or Conner. IMO I wrote she is not on the same level as Jaymie at this point in her career, and at this point D-I would be a stretch. But hey only time will tell and then you can go back and check my posts and let me know how I did.

2 different regions. but SK did loose to Shelby County.

I don't think I would say old New Cath star she is still playing college ball at TMC. To answer your question Jayme was much better at this point in their carreers. You are talking division I for Jayme and division III or maybe divison II at best for Allison at this point. Jayme could take over a game by herself Allison is not there yet. Their athleticism is not even close, But that is just my opinion.

Congratulations Katie, another Rebel playing in the college ranks.

Beasley runs the point at Conner. As far as Bradley crumbling under pressure, you must not watch very many games. If I am a Ky coach and down to the last posession I think I would take bradley hands down to either score or make the good pass. I think what you are refering to when you say crumble is she tries to be the leader and when things don't work out the leader is the one who takes the hit as it should be, but I think she has pulled alot more games out of the fire than you give her credit for. Just watching her this year she has matured immensely and guess what you get to watch her next year also. I don't envy any point guard who has to handle her one on one because you will be in for a long night.

Amen crunch time. I have known Nell a long time and anyone who has been associtated with her would agree whole heartedly. Its the people who only see her on the sidelines or in passing that make those comments about her as a coach and an individual. My daughter played for Nell for 4 years and would not change those years for anything. It prepared her for college basketball, which she is doing just fine, and made her a better person. Boone's schedule every year is no doubt one of the toughest in the State she dodges no one and tries to get her girls ready for the regional every year no matter who she has on the roster. Winning the region this year would be something after losing all the players she did to graduation and transfer, but she still has 2 of the best in the region so watch out 9th her she comes.

She helps out with the Freshman at Boone County with her dad.

You are not getting the gist of Miss Basketball then. It is the best player in the state period. Not who helps their team win, or who is the nicest, or plays good defense. THE BEST PLAYER. I agree that Novosel is a great player but I think she still falls behind Reid in overall talent. I am not disparaging any of the girls who get nominated and there are some great talents out there but if Reid does not win then Miss Basketball is not truely the best player in the State and is a popularity contest. Everyone who has been mentioned I have seen personally play and I am not from Fern Creek either so this is not a biased opinion just my humble opinion.

I have seen both play and they are not in the same category right now. Reid can dominate a game by herself Chambers can not. Not that Chambers is by no means not a top player Reid is just above that at this point in their careers. I can't see any other player in the state being able to dominate a game like Reid can. When I say dominate it is not against the lesser players she would dominate the best in Kentucky.

How do you get that the 9th is overrated. Boone beat both Simon Kenton and Shelby County from the 8th but are still lower than Simon Kenton.

I don't know if you are talking about my daughter but she was asked to play up when she was in the 8th grade but decided to stay and try to win the 8th grade tournament with the girls she had been playing with for 3 years. She felt she owed her school, coach and friends that much. Looking back I think she might have been better served moving up but we let her make that decision and she is starting as a freshman on a full ride scholarship so I think it worked out fine for her.

By my count as of today it is 9th 17 wins and 13 losses.

My original beef is not about wins and losses in the 9th it was when you said the 9th is lacking in talent and has been for the past few years. I said I would be willing to bet the 9th has as many or maybe more girls playing college basketball than any other region in Ky. We just have not had the superstars. We will not have as many playing divison 1 but the other divisons will be comparable. Now go a head and give me your observation on that.

for someone who bad mouths NKY girls basketball you sure do know alot of the players and evidently see pretty many games. Sounds more like jealousy from someone who never make it for whatever reason. Highlands does have a good team but I think they were taken lightly last year since they were so young. this year no one is making that mistake so they will find that every game they are getting a team that is prepared for them.

Steelers you only print these things to get a rise out of people. You say the 9th region has been down the past few years but I would be willing to bet they have as many or more girls playing college basketball than any other region. They may have not had any superstars lately but as a whole have been as good as any other region from top to bottom. On a side note I agree Monique Reid is the best in the state right now.

I have never seen Toliver play with her back to the basket. She seems more in her element catching and shooting. She has a pretty good jump shot in the lane also so it might have been out of her element to try and post up another gaurd. Connley has been the point for 4 years now I don't see a coach switching that up midstream. I don't think Tolliver would have been any better at the point plus it takes away from her scoring to run the offense. It just looked like they got rattled and could not get it turned around. Another thing I noticed why would they have Smith shooting from the outside, she did hit 1 but she is definitely not an outside shooter. It also takes away from her rebounding.

SK might be deep but you would never know it looking at the game last night. If not for foul problems Stowers would have only went 6 deep all game. Boone's speed gave SK fits all night only giving them uncontested shots when there was a lapse or breakdown. Tolliver got her points but she is good enough to score on most any team. Boone did a great job holding the rest of the team down. JC, Katie, and Heather Sandlin did a great job balancing out the scoring so SK could not focus on one player. The biggest mismatch was SK had no answer for Beherns. When she got the ball in the post all they could do was let her score or foul her. If Katie hits her foul shots early Boone might have run away with it. Watching the game I think Stowers should run more plays for That Ferris girl she was by far the most athletic of the SK girls that way teams could not focus on just Tolliver.

I think it will be closer than that. Boone is quicker this year than last and can guard the perimeter better with that speed. foul trouble should not be a problem because SK likes to pass and keep the ball outside rather than inside so the starters should be able to stay in the game. The one thing SK doesn't have will be someone to hold Katie down if she and JC are on the same page it will be very interesting.

If Simon Kenton can stop Bradley from penetrating and dishing it will come down to the wire. If they let JC run the floor and dish to Behrens they will be hard to beat. Boone will have to find a way to match up to Simon Kentons guards and make them beat them on the inside where Boone has the advantage. Should be a very entertaining game with 2 of the best coaches in their respective Regions trying to outstratagize the other.
