Union ...located in Barbourville , Estill is somewhat down, but Berryman is a top player in the 14th

Lee - Fetters, Brandenburg, Johnson, Justin and Dustin Liesagang Estill - Berryman, Christopher Powell - Romans, Banks, Merriman, Dennis, Johnson Owsley - Congleton, Neely (moved to Owen co.) Could be some very interesting games to watch this season!:thumb: :ylsuper:

Right, but did'nt Estill lose 7 seniors, and they're top scorer, Clinton Dixon?

I've noticed that almost everyone have Lee and Powell in their preseason top 5. How do you think these matchups will go. Home and away?.. who are key players for Powell and Lee? Who will make the difference in the games? and which coach, in your opinion is the best coach?

The post was asking, what are Powell's chances for this year...not for years down the road. Building a team is one thing, having a good season one year is another. I've seen teams go 8, 9, 10 deep with seniors and it worked out fine for those teams. 12 will be interesting to watch this season, im not sure of the outcome, it could go one way or the other. Another senior based team in the district is Lee co. with the likes of 7 (Fetters, Johnson, Brandenburg, Taulbee, Justin and Dustin Liesagang, and another. I believe if Lee co. had 12 seniors with equal talent that they all would play. IMO

Just looking for some thoughts and opinions..still can't look past Powell or Lee in the 56th..with the likes of Hazard, PCC, and JBS

From the past year, watching coach Lively take an unheard of Jackson City team to the region finals...i have to give Powell good chances, if Lively can do what he did at JC with this upperclass team of Powell it may look good. I agree that the Lee/Powell games will be fun and very exciting to watch. Both teams have experience and this may be a look forward at the regional final... Talent wise the region isnt loaded but the top 5 teams mentioned above all have great ability. I'll lean toward Lee or Powell from the 56th taking the trip to Rupp this year...

Who Are The Best Players Of Each team In the 14th???

haha. Chris loften wasn't a mountain kid...he was from mason co. i dont recall any Mtns. there...great shooter though.

I have to agree...Lee co. will have a time with Powell co. this season. I see Powell taking the 56th, lee will also have a time guarding Romans of Powell, Fetters and Johnson cant compare to the strength of Tyler Rich...

Augger is probably right..it's hard to tell before the season starts, but my top 5 looks like this : 1)PCC 2)Powell 3)JBS 4)Lee 5)Hazard

I saw buckhorn play at PCC's team camp. They won the tournament...consisting of Leslie, Powell, PCC, Owsley, South Laurel, and Cordia. They were a solid team, but to me not a contender in the 14th. They will certainly shock a few teams this year and come up with a few upsets. From what i saw almost every team was down players due to other sports which would have made the competition much more competitive...

oh, my bad...oh i don't care its not offending...so what do leslie, hazard, and pCC have this year, and who is the best of the three?

Kinda believe what? that lee and powell dont have a chance?

Being from the 14th i would have to go with Lee or Powell, the 56th always seems to be the toughest district but doesnt get enough credit, i wouldnt be surprised to see one of these two end up on top this year...

IMO... Lee, Powell, JBS, PCC, or Hazard, no particular order, but good top 5.

Kinser, Dennis and Merriman, no particular order, all are lights out...IMO

I've heard about kinser, i had forgot about him...he also would be a good choice to be a starter...from what i know about Powell looks like there "starting" five won't be set all year. Any of the players are capable.

When Owsley played Powell at PCC, i noticed Romans wasnt there, later heard he was playing baseball next door...I think he would have really helped them, (top 5 IMO)...also noticed #35 (Merriman?) and the Dennis kid were playing extremely well from the outside and showed good moves in the post. Banks really impressed me with his quickness and footwork around the basket. Havent seen much of kinser or overbee... I would put the Johnson boy or Skidmore at point, Dennis at the 2 guard, Merriman 3, Banks at PF, and Romans at Center, IMO...a good contender.

Today the tournament starts at PCC...Buckhorn has been very strong, along with PCC...seems like Powell has been struggling somewhat, maybe getting used to Lively's style, should be a pretty good bracket to come watch.

I'm not very familiar with this rule, but I don't see a problem with it, just because your team isnt involved in the game doesnt mean that you should'nt be able to tape it...You may play one of the two teams in a later meeting and the tape may be useful...anyone else's opinion --

No, Ty Profitt is attending an individual basketball camp in Florida, he hasnt been playin at PCC this week...I'm going to go with Pc in 3 still, they seemed a bit nervous, but they should be...its been almost 30 years since they last won the 14th, i think they'll snap back tonight...Go 56th!!

I heard through reliable sources that Tate Cox was infact transferring to PCC, his father is supposed to be accepting a coaching job as well...

Who will be there the rest of the week?

I'm not the coach...but i know that you can't cut the seniors when they've played the last 3 years...those cuts should have been made when they were freshmen...not now...by now they can all play though...any school would be lucky to have what Powell has, Lee co. also has a large senior class this year...
