This isn't the first time the administration at Frankfort has dropped the ball. It seems to be a theme there...

Scott County has 3 public middle schools that feed the one high school. There is also a Catholic school that goes K-8... so 4 total.

The only way to eliminate the what ifs is to let kids play at whatever school they attend...

Ballou and Fudge are tough.

I agree 100%. It is so competitive at every level.

I agree 100%.

A lot of KHSAA supporters say that LBBC, but I have to disagree. If you move and it's a traditional sale followed by a traditional purchase then I think the KHSAA rules eligible. However, not every move is this cut and dry. If a family moves and, in this market, can't sell their home so they rent it to someone else - the kid is ruled ineligible and must have a hearing. If the family sells the house on a land contract, the kid is ruled ineligible and must have a hearing. At the hearing they look at things like utility bills, but I also have first hand knowledge that one student athlete's move was deemed non-bonafide because "the parent did not change the address on their driver's license?" The KHSAA is paranoid of kids moving for athletic purposes only. I just don't see why. If they would put the time, effort, and resources into investigating the recruiters rather than the recruitees I might be on their side, but imo they are penalizing kids unjustly.

If you had to move for some reason and your kid was penalized - you might not think it was such a good idea.

My cards left the beautiful bluegrass region last year to come to the cold, hard northeastern part of the state and play some of the best of the 16th region... After winning by about 50 every game, I'm glad we compete in the 11th. I disagree with your take on the defense. I agree my Cards could struggle this year. Everyone knows they will miss Matt Walls, but they will miss defensive stopper Jimmy Warren just as much. Plus they have a BRUTAL schedule. I haven't looked at Elliott's schedule for this year - are these kids going to be challenged?

I don't know that anyone on here qualifies as an expert. I watched Tyler play here in Scott Co. He is a great kid and a very good shooter, but imo- not a D-1 prospect. I'm not insulting the kid - there aren't many D-1 kids coming from Kentucky these days (as shown in the other threads I started.)

What about Critchlow and Mattingly from Breckenridge Co.?

What about in the mountains? Clay Co. had to have some D-1 teammates somewhere along their run. Harlan had Todd Cox (VCU then G-town College) and Charles Thomas (Minnesota, then EKU)

Sergio Luke and Myron Defoe were quite a tandem at UHA also.

Rex had a really good guard who played with him at Apollo - Orlando something.

Ashley Olinger went to one of the OVC schools in Tenn. and also transferred back to G-town College. Jermaine Taylor went to junior college in Illinois followed by G-town College. I don't remember where the rest of them went.

What about some of those Lex. Cath teams? David Graves and Nathan Popp and Shawn Fields William Graham and Demetrius Green

So was Bender the same year as Adam Childs?

Jermaine Brown played at UT for a couple of years, but didn't get many minutes. He came back to G-town College and had a great career.

Where did Early end up? I thought something happened that effected his scholarship to Oklahoma. Some other good pairs, but I don't know where they signed to play: Jermaine Brown and Carlos Toomer Marquis Estill and Keneal Jenkins

I don't see it. They are good high school players in the 16th region. These boys would have a hard time making the top 10 list in the 11th region. Heck, the reason Maynard is at Elliott is that he knew he was never going to play major minutes at Scott Co. I really like their team - they were fun to watch in the Sweet 16 last year, but I don't see 4 D-1 prospects there.

G-town lost at Louisville by 4 last year. They play again this year to see if it was a fluke or not.

That depends on your definition of "out plays"... Leading your team to victory - Mackey 2, Miller 0 (and the one from 2005-06 season @ Mason might count as more than one - Mackey's Cards whipped Miller's Royals so badly) I love Miller's game, but let's not dismiss what Mr. Mackey brings to the table.

I agree that Sanford will help the Knights. His quickness and ball handling skills fill a hole for them. He also makes it where the quality of their depth is much improved. Blue heat - Lex Cath does have the ability to get really hot shooting. Red heat - Scott Co's swarming defense and quickness gives the slower-footed knights problems. It has been and will continue to be one of the great rivalry games in the state. I wonder who's student section will have to move where this season. My blood is already pumping. How long before the first game tips off?

Is this June's older brother or were there enough Stepps that they needed to build another school up there?
