$$East-Bank$$

He was robbed, simple as that. The kid was done dirty IMO. He's the best player in the state.

It makes no sense to me to get on here and say he has made a choice and then not say what it is.

Hibbert, he'll show why he's the most underrated player in the nation. With a big performance and a national title he'll improve his NBA Value tremendously. He also has the job of containing Oden. Could be the best bigman matchup in years at the college level.

1st Team:

Hill-Holmes

Mackey-Scott Co.

Pettigrew-ETown

Walls-Scott County

Miller-Mason Co.

Second Team:

Proffitt-SL

Knowles-GRC

Beckham-Ballard

VanHoose-Russell

Brooks-Doss

Third Team:

Hammonds-SL

Anderson-Warren Central

Slone-Paintsville

Mack-Bryan Station

Henderson-Holmes

1.Miller

2.Hopson

3.Mackey

Not sure who else, I'd say Landon Slone-Paintsville,Shelvin Mack-Bryan Station, and Arrez Henderson-Holmes will be some other names thown out there among others.

Nice post, I enjoyed reading it.

I dont think all 3 are D 1 players, but they are pretty good. I would think the 2 teams would play a close game and because of their experience I would hafta pick South Laurel to execute down the stretch.

I'd say give Shelby Valley and Elliott a year or two and they'll be competing with about anyone. As far as JBS i'm sure they'll win the 14th a time or two in the next few years but they need to change their coaching philosphy, Stepp is not a good enough player to win a state title by himself. They need to use some of the other players on the team that has more talent and play more team oriented basketball and they may be more competitive.

In my opinion, I said this last weekend while sitting behind him at Rupp Arena, Tim Riley is the best darn coach the state has to offer. He teaches defense and team ball. I've never seen a Warren Central Riley team have a ballhog or a bad defender. They always hustle and all seem to have their heads on straight. Not to mention he must have hired one heck of a weight trainer because his boys get big over 4 years. Love the work ethic they have.

 

If I was to start a school in KY he would be my first choice, with Dave Fuast, Mike Code, and up and coming coach Brad Carr of Scott as my assistants. Wishful thinking right?

A question?

Garison Collins 6'9 freshman, will he play DI basketball. He has some potential and could be 7-1 before he graduates. When I was in school I grew from 5'8 as a freshman to 6'1 as a sophomore, 6'3 as a Junior and 6'5 when I graduated, which I never grew anymore after I graduated. I grew 9 inches in 4 years in HS. that is pretty freaky but could you imagime if a kid who is already 6'9 grew 9 more inches from now untill the time he graduates?? Maybe it won't happen, but it's something to think about....but I don't know he would be 7'6' if you looked at it like that......lol

They will be the favorite if they get everyone back. But I heard that 2 of there starters were transferring. Anybody else hear this?

Heard that the best player on the team my be transferring to Shelby Valley...no names, figure it out...I also heard that one may be at Knott or Letcher Central forgot which one of the two but yeah I've heard this.

Tim Riley is the best coach in the state of kentucky W/out a doubt. Year in and year out his team is in the running for a state title. Even the year they won it , no one expected them to do much of anything and the year they were in the finals against South Laurel people expected even less...But with this being said Riley gets my vote.

I really don't understand Walls being called one of the "top 2". He can play and I like his game but he's not nearly as impressive as Pettigrew, Knowles, or even Hill at that. He isn't even the top player on his own team, that being Mackey. I guess at Scott Co. he gets more exposure than these other guys.

I love it, UK fotball is back on the rise. Hopefully a BCS bowl will be in our near future. If only our basketball team could compete for championships again, But with the season being over all I have to look foward to is football season. Maybe Woodson can lead us to back to back bowl wins.

That was probabily one of the worst games Shelby Valley had played all season long, unfortunatly for them it came in the Sweet 16. I do respect your opinion but I just don't see it. But they did beat a great Simon Kenton team to get there however...You would almost have to put them both in front of JBS though.

No way was Oldham Co. Better than Shelby Valley.

I'm going to sort them into groups.

(All could have competed for a state title this yr.)

1.Scott

2.Ballard

3.Holmes

4.Warren Central

5.South Laurel

6.Fairdale

7.GRC

8.Christian Co.

(A year or so away)

9.Adair Co.

10.Elliott County

11.Paducah Tilgman

12.Shelby Valley

(descent teams whos a couple players away from being good)

13.Owensboro

14.Lincoln Co.

15.Oldham Co.

(Just glad to be there)

16.June Buchanan

Yeah I agree, "Air" Gordon will not stay longer than a year. He'd be a top 10 pick this year if they hadn't changed the rule concerning HS players.

Eric Gordon is the best player in the nation..IU will be tough the next few years with the best recruit in the nation on campus, not Mackey of course talking about Eric Gordon.

Betsy Layne

Sheldon Clark

I just voted as to who should win and who I felt was the best player.

I don't know how to do a poll... does a mod have to set it up? It would be interesting to see who would get the BGP votes v/s who gets the real votes. (and to compare to other polls taken earlier in the season.

 

Walls, Pettigrew, Profitt, Brooks, Knowles, Fralix, Becham, others?

Youd also have to add Hill-Holmes ,Anderson-Warren Central, and Vanhoose-Russell imo.:thumb:

Scott Co. Will repeat if all the underclassmen stay. They usually get one of two new kids who transfer in as well who can play.

He is at Louisville.

Thanks, I wasn't sure.:thumb:

I agree fballstud06, Hill being left of was a complete joke.
