I think Kyle Kramer will see the most time and most starts from this group. KK brings some toughness to the floor can knock down the open shot.

If they have any size it would have to have been from last years freshman team. Didn't get a chance to see frosh team last year but I think I was told freshmen team was sub-.500 last year. Don't know how much varsity help is going to come from that group. Scott's line up is going to be two small forwards and three guards!

:thumb: Belcher will have to put up some huge numbers for PC this year. Just don't thik they have the talent level that they have enjoyed the past few years.

I saw Pendleton JV 3-4 times last year and just feel that they are going to struggle on the varsity level. Haven't seen their schedule but if the new coach gets them to .500 this year he did a heck of a job.

Quigley, Sharp & Miller are locks. Felts got a lot of PT so he is probably a good bet as well. Smith is probably the best bet for the last position. If teams have to help on Sharp and Quigley, Miller & Smith can make jump shots. Bench is going to be extremely young & inexperienced.

Holmes, Holy Cross & Covcath. Ryle is a nice gym but just doesn't have the history and atmosphere of the other three.

:thumb: :thumb: Cory Pelle is one of the top players in the 10th but don't think he can elevate SG to contender level. Augusta just doesn't have the horses to compete night in and night out in the 10. SG & Augusta could pull off an upset every now and then but to make a run thru districts & regionals??? Campbell Co had a decent JV team last year but this will be a lot of those players first extended varsity minutes...lot of football players in that group might take them a while to get going. Scott has a couple of quality varsity players in Sharp & Quigley but they are going to have to get some production from someone other than those two to be competitive. Miller was a quality reserve last year but he now becomes a major player for Scott...big change. if Scott doesn't get some production from other players besides the three mentioned it could be along season. 10th still runs through Mason, GRC & Brossart.

Looks like a tough schedule for Scott....are they going to be able to replace Howard inside? McCord gave them an outside threat last year...do they have anyone to replace McCord? If teams take away Sharp & Quigley who will score? Don't remember them having a real deep bench last year...

14 & Under Austin Baldwin (Twenhofel) Travis Montgomery (RA Jones) Zach Perkins (Gray) Matt Trammell (Turkeyfoot) Kellen Smith (Woodland) Corey Crane (Turkeyfoot) Todd Vollett (Gray)

Great for Coach Mullins! Well deserved and good luck!:ylsuper:

Would be a great choice and seems to be a logical choice.

Have seen Dixie mentioned as having a strong freshman class, what about the other Kenton Co schools Simon Kenton & Scott? Does Holy Cross have any guards to go with big post player, Bass?

Any confirmation that they have even interviewed anyone? Any anxiety from the Raider faithful if they haven't?:confused:

Just doing my part to keep thread alive until season starts!! Who are the teams just outside the top 10 who could potentially break into the top 10? Campbell Co, Beechwood, Scott, LLoyd and what do they need to have happen to break into the top 10? Just my opinion but Dixie is a year away and Newcath needs to find someone to get the ball to Kiernan, and Ryle should be more in the 9-10 range. Holy Cross is ranked too low. SK should be below Holy Cross and Brossart

Chevalier is looking at a pretty good run at Dixie in the next couple of years. Ryle would still seem to be a great opportunity but not better than what Dixie will be for the next few years. Does the fact that no one is hearing anything increase the liklihood that they stay in house? Is that good for Terry Trame & Alan Mullins?

:thumb: A lot can happen over the next couple of years before anyone can predict runs at state. Look at the senior classes at Simon Kenton & Holmes. Both have been successful but that state title run has eluded Holmes and SK needed a move to the 8th to be considered a regional contender.

Dixie frosh are very good, very deep,very physical......Lots of football players. Challenge is going to be keeping them playing basketball. 8th grade class is OK but not as good as the freshman class ahead of them. I think they have enjoyed most of their success due to overall weakness of all of the 8th grade classes in that league as compared to the incoming freshmen class ahead of them. Bump them ahead one year and they are a 4th or 5th place team. You don't see the kids in that eighth grade playing D1 AAU and enjoying the success that Popp, Earls, Flannery, Gabbard, etc have enjoyed. Seems kind of strange that one years class is so strong locally and the next year seems very average at best :confused:

Strong freshman class this year with Boone Co probably being the best. Dixie and Highlands are not too far behind. Holy Cross and Ryle should also be very solid. Interesting to see how many of these freshman at Boone will actually play freshman ball. How are the other frosh teams in the 9th & 10th regions?
