And you don't too the horn of Lincoln. The same Lincoln that got beat by McCreary last season in the region tournament on their home floor. You obviously understand that Watts was talented, but you have no idea about the situations off the court that kept that from being a true team. And since it's been over five years since the Raiders lost to Monticello, I'll take my chances. The Raiders won't lose a game to Monticello, much less finish behind them in the standings.

When Monticello beats McCreary, I will think of your posts much more. They lost to one team - Mercer. They rolled your Patriots, who didn't even make the regional tournament.

That's exactly why I take your posts with a grain of salt. It's almost pointless to even read them. McCreary isn't the favorite to win the district title next year, but they just walloped the district this year and Dixon was lights out against Wayne and Southwestern. It wouldn't surprise me if they made it back to the region tournament, but they're certainly not a favorite.

Lincoln, Wayne, and Boyle should be the leaders. For the regular season, McCreary might get a few wins. I think it's going to surprise a lot of people what kind of team McCreary is this upcoming year after this years deflections.

Wayne hasn't proven too much. Can the Dixon and Williams show carry the Raiders? They haven't proved it yet, what makes anyone think they can now? West Jessamine loses Polson = done. Boyle may improve and be a contender. Mercer may be okay. It will be a down year for the 12th, in my opinion.

What did they prove in the regular season? They didn't beat Male, Seneca, Corbin, etc. McCreary went from 12th Favorite, to a top 15 team in the state. The thing is, Robert Jones has won this award three straight years. And the team has nothing but a couple of district titles to show for it.

And McCreary County.

I'm not going to post the name or school simply because it could have been for very personal reasons. This is all speculation on my part and wonder what the general consensus is. I'm talking about the coincidence of the situations.

I've never heard that before. People may question why the coach left a good opportunity, like you mention with the West Jessamine coach, but I would never imagine someone calling them selfish. Why is selfish about leaving a program in great shape? Likewise, if that class had just graduated the future wasn't bright and a coach resigns or retires and leaves the mess for someone else, I see that as selfish. Riding the backs of the talented class and leaving the tough work for someone else. I think it's different as the age progresses. As it progresses to college coaches and then to NBA coaches, I think it's more of a self-satisfaction for becoming successful rather than being happy for the players or preparing them for the future.

But is the game about the coaches, or about the players, at the high school level?

I was thinking of that one too, but didn't want to point it out and get bashed. That's not the ones I were referring too, but that is one that I thought was strange.

Perhaps they have other reasons, but in this area, at one particular school, it has happened twice. Strange coincidence? I don't think so. I don't think I am over thinking it. Maybe it's their way of "going out on top."

West will pull this out, I feel.

Cinnamon was huge in the McCreary game.

This looks to get interesting. We'll see if the new head coach can hold on. Polson will probably start to take over.
