Good post Greyeagle. I will still take the tomcats at home. They seem to always pull it out someway at Putnam with the exception of Raceland. 24-17:ylsuper:

I never said they were walking the halls of Campbell Co. high school. They have several feeder schools that they compete for kids along with other catholic high schools. I went to catholic schools for 12 years. They have to recruit and retain kids to survive. Butts is seats mean tuition dollars, that donations, and fundraisers are what fund the schools. Why is it:confused: ok for GRC to get transfers but not PC?

I agree with congratulating GRC with no strings attached if they indeed win it. Do the same with PC for 05. I assure you PC congratulated GRC after the defeat last year despite having two "transfers" in the lineup. Brossart should have a tough team this year no doubt. They may even win it as well. IF they do I will congratulate you Mustang with no strings attached, even though every player and student in your building is recruited because again that is what private schools have to do to compete. not just for basketball but for survival. Jog your memory a little further back to 04 MCIT PC beat Brossart 69-62 without Elliott and Brossart had Rhoden who I believe was 7' tall.

So mustang if and when GRC wins it this year will it be only because of Jones and Rogers transferring in from Fleming County. They knocked out PC last year and no one from PC complained about it. Catholic schools recruit every student they have by nature. It is how the exist. One public school gets a transfer student and it is an AAU coup?

interesting choice considering play-offs are next week. Any thoughts on that? one less day to prepare?

Look for PC and Montgomery to be a solid 4th and make a run at season's end.

We need some more reprensentation from Western Ky. Henderson County will be a top 10 team by the end of the year. Likely will come down to them and UHA for 2nd region title. Anybody down that way agree or disagree?

So game is on? Rose Hill must have returned contract then? Cool Should provide some heat to an otherwise cold January. :banana:

I agree with Madison Central, and stand corrected on Franklin Co.

People better watch out for PC. No one plays a tougher in season or summer schedule than these guys. Belcher is for real and there young guys will step up. They may struggle early but they will win their district and if Mason and Clark draw on same side watch out.

Coach M has done a great job there and will continue to do so as long as he is given that opportunity. No else has been willing to stay there and build a winner. He is doing that. Evidenced by the furst back to back winning seasons assuming he beats Scott.

great post Spindoc. Best one yet on this subject. We all need to remember that these are just kids and let them play.

I may have made a mistake about Franklin, will check into it. The others are no mistake. It was my impression that Franklin had most of it's returning players from last year. (not disputing they may have had 6 seniors) just that they did not play much, outside of one or two?

classic Press Row. LOL.

these recent posts by all are right on. From 1954-1980 Ashland won 13 region titles or every other year. From 1980-2006 Ashland has won 5 Region titles or every 5.2 years. Consolidation, enrollment dropping have all contributed to this cause. Flynn also did a great job. He was in in region finals 6 times in 9 years. Hard to dispute that. He also was Ashland's longest tenured coach at 9 years. Give the man his due. Was it time for a change? Probably. Will Biggs win the region every other year? Probably not. Can he win it once every 5 years like has beeen the trend the last 26 years. Probably. I think GIAT is right on hopefully the program will get a shot in the arm and move back to Rupp soon. Let's not forget their are other really really good teams int he region.

Then why has PC beat CC 8 out of the last 9?

no doubt they could be scary in a couple of years.

agreed what a shame.

Why are you opposed to it and why shouldn't they accept the deal. They want to play so bad they should take what they can get this year and then negotiate a more traditional deal with home games for each school. Correct me if I am wrong but home teams get the gate. I can't see Ashland asking RH or anyone else for that matter for a cut of the gate. This should be abou:sssh: t kids not money.

:banana: :banana: I have a feeling that God Is a Tomcat is right. Game will probably happen everybody just needs to be patient. Let the coaches and administrators work it out and see what happens. From what everybody is saying on here there are contractual issues involved and sometimes that takes awhile. If the coaches really want to play my bet is that it will happen. Then maybe everybody will quit trading barbs and talk about the game.

Maybe I was wrong Shooterx. just thought there were some hard feelings along with the sarcasm. Hopefully game gets doen and everyone can enjoy it instead of arguing about it. The past is just that the past.

Scooterbob sorry but Madison Central is a serious threat to win it all if they can make it out of the tough 11th region. Manual is always top-notch just cannot get by Ballard or Male in the seventh. Highlands is a power every year in the balanced 9th region and Franklin Co. has their entire roster back except for maybe one player. Knott Central has 4 starters back. Very tough AIT as it always is.

now that was funny Shooterx3. Much better than all the sarcasm and bitterness displayed on some other posts. Give it some time and see if the game happens. Then and I asuume this would be an understatement I am sure there will be a thread or two for that one.

that is what fans do best scream. Coach's coach and fans scream for and sadly sometimes at their team.
