I can see your point because Johnson Central made it to the finals with a loosing record in the 15th, and Prior to the Tournament they were rated around 6th or 7th in the 15th region. The paticular regions you mention would have had a hard time beating Paintsville and Shelby Valley with their 5th best team. I know paintsville Beat Tates Creek earlier in the year and that was the 11th regions 5 or 6th best team and Jtown was nearly beaten by Shelby Valley at Jtown and thats the best team from the 7th. Shelby Valley also beat Male one of the favorites from the 7th region. I can't really speak for the 13th and 14th but Hazard from the 14th is as dangerious as anyone in this tournament.

No disrespect, but Landon Slone should at least be in the top 4...He is the best talent to come out of eastern Kentucky in 10-12 years.

:ylsuper: I wish, I not that Lucky...lol

I was just refering to jumping ability and athleticism, and I was referring to Bradley as a HS senior compared to Henderson as a HS Senior. I know how strong and how quick Bradley is, quiet possibley one of the quickest players in UK history and nearly impossible to guard. But know harm ment. I have alot of respect for Ramel's game.

I'm Just saying that if Stepp can walk on there he should at least get a look. Maybe he couldn't play in the SEC but he's better than some players who will be.

I don't understand why Kentucky looks at a player like Clark Stepp who couldn't make the team at alot of these big name high schools across the state, seriously, and gives him a spot on the team. Yet you have Henderson and more athletic Ramel Bradley type player who COULD play in the SEC and he dosent even get a look fron Kentucky. Alot of politics is what it is or at least what it seems to be.

Since alot of coaches will be scouting for talent in Rupp next week I figured I post my top 15 players in the sweet 16 as well as give other members an oppertunity to share who they feel are to players to look for in the tourney. My Thoughts: 1.Darrius Miller-Mason County 2.Scotty Hopson-UHA 3.Landon Slone-Paintsville 4.Arez Henderson-Holmes 5.Tyshawn Edmonson-UHA 6.Trevor Setty-Mason County 7.Johnathan Fergason-Elliott Co 8.Ryan Young-Lincoln Co. 9.Taylor Stewart-Lexington Catholic 10.Nathan Novosel-Lexington Catholic 11.Brock Moorman-Owensboro 12.Nick Gagel-Jeffersontown 13.Shane Grimm-Paintsville 14.Stefon Perry-Paducah Tilghman 15.Jordan Hickman-Bardstown 15.Jordan Smart-Lexington Catholic Others:Noah Keaton-Lincoln,Falkners-Elliott,Russ Middleton-Mason Co,Michael Campbell-Hazard,Rico Johnson-Holmes ...etc

Thanks Wireman, much appreciated.:thumb:

First Round 1 Lex Cathloic 1 Owensboro 1 Paintsville 1 Holmes 1 Hazard 1 Lincoln Co. 1 Paducah Tilghman 1 Mason Second Round 2 Lexington Catholic 2 Holmes 2 Lincoln Co. 2 Paducah Tilghman Championship Game 3 Holmes 3 Lincoln Co. Champion 5 Holmes TB-111

Yeah I know what you were saying and that is a very good point.:thumb:

I was just stating that it'd be an exciting matchup from a fans standpoint, I know Holmes will put on a show. I actually picked Holmes to win it all.

I'll just post what My bracket looks like.. 1st Round UHA vs. LexCath----Lexcath Central vs. O'boro-----Owensboro Jtown vs. Paintsville----Paintsville Holmes vs. Bardstown--Holmes SL vs. Hazard---------Hazard Shelby vs. Lincoln Co--Lincoln Co. Paducah Tilgh. vs Greenwood---Paducah Tilghman Mason county vs. Elliott Co.----Mason Quarter Finals Lexington Cath vs Owensboro--Lexington Catholic Paintsville vs. Holmes-------------Holmes Hazard vs. Lincoln County---------Lincoln Co. Mason Co. vs Paducah Tilghman---Paducah Tilghman Semis Lexington Catholic vs. Holmes------Holmes Lincoln Co. VS. Paducah Tilghman----Lincoln County Championship Holmes vs Lincoln----Holmes 74-59 Anyone else fill out a bracket, should be interesting, post it if you did.

ESPNGUY......I had Paducah Tilghman nocking of Mason County in the 2nd round.

The Holmes bulldogs are my pick, but after filling out my bracket I somehow had them matched up with Lincoln County in the championship which was a suprise even to me. I looked at every matchup differently and thats what I came up with.

I'm taking Elliott County 77-73 in the upset of the tourney and be that sleeper team that I believe they can be. I'm always for the 14th and 16th when there not playing the 15th...lol

No that was actually ment to be 380...misprint lol

Auburn 80/1 lets face it, its not likely they win the sec tournament but these odds are kinda funny. Auburn has the Talent to play a Cinderalla role so to seak in the SEC, unlikely yes but not 80/1 unlikely...lol

If you could pick a Fantasy team to go up against other BGP member's team who would you have on your team...Your the GM. 5 Starters-PG,2G,SF,PF,C 6th man-1st sub. in Coach-Your Choice. My team: Starters PG-Jamont Gordon-Mississippi 6'4 225 2G-Paul Harris-Syracuse 6'5 225 SF-Terrence Williams-Louisville 6'6 210 PF-Tyler Hansborough-UNC 6'9 245 C-Kenny George-UNC Asheville 7'8 380 6th Man Joey Dorsey-Memphis 6'9 260 Head Coach: Bruce Pearl

Thoughts and Predictions. How will JTown contain Slone? How will Paintsville be able to match up with this athletic JTown team? I think Paintsville has to be favored in this game IMO. But will be overlooked somewhat.

I agree just meaning from an entertainment standpoint Dunks,Defense,quickness...etc Also the Paintsville-Jtown matchup should be very interesting.

Holmes being as athletic as they are could have problems with this team basically because Holmes is used to overwelming teams with their athleticism but this Bardstown team could be the most athletic team Holmes has faced all season. Imo but I still favor Holmes in this game. Could be the best 1st rd. game to watch due to the fact that both teams have tremondous athletes which makes for a fun game to watch.

No disrespect intended but Hazard will kill SL. I'll say Hazard by 20-25.

Elliott Could be the sleeper in the stat tourney if they get there.
