Lets meet in the middle. 1A and 1B.:thumb:

Sometimes, well maybe alot of times, Teams who you think would do well don't always handle the big stage as well as others. There's been other 9th region Teams who have went to the State tournament and had pretty decent draws. Talent wise, alot of those Teams should of done much better than they did. That said, I believe Boone played in some pretty good tournaments this year and playing at BOK has to benefit future Teams I would think. Boone would of competed very well imo.

The title of this thread was: 2009 Holmes Team...Best NKY Team ever? Again, I will say yes and the #2 Team would be the 1978 Holmes Team. Pretty cut and dry to me.

That might be why I said the following. Take note, I only included Teams in top 10 who were in the State Tournament.

:lol::lol::lol:Dude stop it, your making my side hurt. :lol::lol: I can't stop :lol:

I totally agree fc. Sour grapes make you say silly things I guess. Just one you think people know the what their talking about, they turn around and make silly comments. What comedian was it who said, here's your sign?

My final rankings would look something like this. Take note, I only included Teams in top 10 who were in the State Tournament. 1. Holmes 2. Central 3. Elliott Co. 4. Eastern 5. Shelby Valley 6. Mason Co. 7. W. Jessamine 8. Christian Co. 9. Lexington Catholic 10. Bowling Green

Huh?:confused:

Love his game, the kid was fun to watch.

It's so easy to sit here and "what if" to death. If Shelby would of not had to play Mason the first game, they would of beat EC AGAIN, IMO.:popcorn:

Extra Extra...Holmes Bulldogs are State Champions!!! Pretty sure that makes them #1. It's ok to root against a Team, but don't take away from what a TEAM has accomplished because you don't like one of the players. I wasn't a big Scotty Pippen fan, but IMO he played on one of the best Teams ever.

Boone may play the second best D in the State. When are people going to realize that defense wins championships. As far as the EC and Holmes match up with fresh legs, are you kidding me?

No chance. However, I do believe he would benefit from something like that.

You are probably right. That said, SC is still a top ten Team though.

Don't do very well on picks I bet.:idunno: Why is it you can't give Holmes any credit? If your still in high school no need to reply.

My final poll would look something like this. 1. Holmes 2. Central 3. Elliott Co. 4. Eastern 5. Shelby Valley 6. Mason Co. 7. W. Jessamine 8. Christian Co. 9. Bowling Green 10. Corbin Those are just my picks, based on what I seen this weekend. Cantrall will probably have it fliped upside down.

I hope some how that he and Jermeiah can play together. It is really neat to watch those two, they are very very close.

Honestly, I would have to say yes.

Holmes Team D has to be mentioned.

Wow!! What a game, what a year, what a TEAM. In 1978 I was a little 7th grader, went to my first Holmes game that year and then another and another. Didn't make all the road games, but didn't miss a home game. My love for basketball truely began that winter watching that amazing Team. My best friends parents were Holmes grads and huge fans as well. When my friend asked, did I wanted to go watch Holmes play in Freedom Hall, I was so excited. We drove back and fourth every game, even on Saturday. All the rides were very fun and exciting, I remember. We would talk about the great games that were played and read about upcoming games on the way down. Sad to say, but I probably read more that weekend in news papers and the sweet sixteen program, than I did in class that year. In the finals, I can remember my friend and I, along with many others, rushing from the student section to the floor with 2 seconds to go in regulation. Shortly after we made are way to the floor, some big guy wearing #44 for the other Team made a unbelieveable shot and we were heading back to our seats. No need to really continue what happend on that floor 31 years ago, because most of us know. The ride home was really quiet I remember. The only thing I really remember being said was from my friends father. It was something like, there's no way on God's green earth that neither one of those refs didn't seen what just happend in there. That memory will begin to fade now, not go away, but better memories can be shared from here on out. John Wimzie was on that floor as a player 31 years ago, and on the bench tonight as a Coach. Dicky Beal was also a player on that Team and I noticed he was very close to the bench tonight from the 4th quarter on. I kind of watched their reactions as the clock was winding down and they were every bit as excited as the Holmes players tonight, as if it were them in the middle of that pile. It was pretty cool. Great job Bulldogs!! You made alot of people proud tonight. Congrats to all all the players and Coaches and all the former players as well. And to all my fellow alums, finally!!! And thank you to all the N.KY folks on BGP who have supported, not only Holmes, but all of our local Teams who play in a State tournament of any kind. And one last thing. It's my understanding that my friends father watched the game on icn 6 tonight. Congrats to Central on an amazing run.

Where you sitting tonight, I'll look for ya.:thumb:

You have a suite I hope.:eek:

Come on now, give credit where credit is due. Holmes scored 18 points off 13 EC turnovers and out rebounded them 38-28. Second chance points, Holmes had 17, EC had 4. The fouls were 14 by EC and 15 by Holmes. Pretty much beat them in every stat there is. The better Team won!! As for the EC players, you guys for sure have the hearts of a lion. Congrats on a wonderful season and good luck to all you Sr's moving to the next stage of your life.

True, Holmes shoud be well rested, especially Pittman. Johnson's will do their thing as usual, but again, I believe Pittman will be a huge factor one way or another. He and Riley play well, Holmes should win. Holmes 76 Elliott Co 69

Well, Shelby has beaten them once. I really look forward to seeing this game, it should be a good one.
