This was a great game.. they came from behind to win. Here is the coverage http://madisoncourier.com/main.asp?SectionID=18&SubSectionID=289&ArticleID=54207&TM=80893.77

From what I understand she will be back soon and it will make a big difference to the Lady Wildcats. ! The younger girls are getting a good chance to work on ball handling right now and that will pay off later this year and next.

Congrats to the Lady Raiders...Sounds like the hard work is paying off.

Congrats to Owen!

Congrats Panthers! Hannah Devine had 29 points! :dancingpa

Looking forward to seeing the Lady Panthers back in action!

Any word on Tori Wilhoit's( Williamstown ) knee. She was injured in a scrimmage at Scott co. last week and we were hoping it would end up not being serious. I have not seen any updates and wonder what everyone knows. She is a great player and I was looking forward to watching her have a great Junior season.

I believe they are playing at the Scott County scrimmages this Saturday. There is a thread about that on the board with times etc.

Thank you for posting!

Carroll County will be there.!

Anyone have information on the Scrimmage in Scott County on 11-14. I know who my team is playing just wondered who else will be there? Carroll will play Southwestern

I was really happy to see the ALL A this year. This gives the rural towns something to work toward. Same in BBALL.

I agree, however..the gym is our problem. After V-ball season they are full with Basketball ( elementary, MS and HS boys and Girls) so they can not get on the schedule. During V-ball season the only gyms with nets (MS AND HS ) are used by the teams. No money to rent or transport. I wish it were more like BBALL where you just need a hoop to practice.

Not trying to minimalize anything, I am just talking about the majority and I did not say rich...I would take exception to that also. I mean well - off as in able to afford club ball. As far as race you are right there are some African American girls that are great but the Majority are white. I have coached at a small school and this is the reality. I am not complaining, just being a realist. It seems that you think I am mad about it. I am not. It is the reality in Ky Volleyball right now. If you want to argue that it is not then that is fine, but if we are talking about how to get teams more even then this is a factor. Look - I have coached and would love to see the small schools get better. My daughter plays and falls into this same category.

Did you go to the state tourney.? I am talking about KY. Check out UK's team or look at any local college roster. It is great that is not the norm for Penn St. but in Kentucky it is.

I disagree. You need to come to one of the small rural schools and understand the kids that are there. Too compare them to the kids you say their parents sacrifice and send them to Catholic schools is not even remotely a concept with most of the rural schools children. Their parents sacrifice to buy them lunch everyday. Volleyball is a well off white girls sport. I am not being mean, I am honest. I coached for 4 years at the MS level and see it everyday. Club Ball is not even a remote possibility for these girls. Not to mention it is even hard to get Coaches that know what they are doing also. I can understand how your arguments seem valid. I thought the same thing before I started Coaching but reality is this: 1. Sports are not a priority financially for these children. 2. There are limited facilities that must be used for school sports (for example basketball takes the gyms after V-ball season) 3. Most of the Coaches are in a learning curve also. 4. Small schools have to share their athletes with the other sports.

Does anyone have any insight into Spencer Co next year?. They always seem to not get discussed much but win a lot of games.

I understand but the districts are so uneven right now that something needs to be done. In our area everyone has both now. I can not think of anyone close that does not at this time. Maybe in Eastern Kentucky?

Does anyone know if this is being considered. With some of the districts with 5 and 6 teams and others with 3, is there any thought to following the basketball districts?

I would agree. Especially pulling on the back of the Jersey when going up for the rebound. I think some teams probably have a drill for that at practice...

I believe Walton-Verona may have a player over 6 feet tall. Other than that it seems that we have many 5'9" and 5' 10" players. I think Defense will be the key this year also.

I agree they are in the running every year.

Have to go with the CC Panthers.

Congrats to Carroll County.. great homecoming game.!
