Does Randy Moss live in Ky? How did the family end up here when he has played in Mn., Oakland & now New England?

I was told Elliott Co played in this & if so you would have to add Timmy Knipp to your list at the top of the page.

You need another SOURCE! Why you people get on here and say stuff like this blows my mind! Creating such undo expectations on these kids when you know very well they are no where in the same league. Knipp will have to quit sulking & be a leader. Nickell is a good player & will be solid if he does not get overpowered. Faulkner should not be compared to his cousins & no one at EC should as it is just not fair to the kid. Fraley kid I do not know anything about but I am sure he suffers from the Coach Mayse sendrom just like the Ison kid as both have unjustly gathered more than their fair share of pine instead of being developed. The best thing these kids have going for them this year is the change in the head coach position.

I wish him nothing but the best with all the happiness in the world. However I saw him play last week & watched him earlier in his career & he is definitely one of those kids who peeked early (7th-9th grade) while being bigger than everyone else at that time. It is unfair to him of all that was put on him or out about him but that is part of it. He has not improved enough since the early years to play major D1 mainly due to athletic ability & just not being good enough. When I saw him last week against Shelby Valley maybe he was the 4th or 5th best player on the floor at best. Everyone says who is he going to guard on "D" at D1 level?,but what kind of "O" will he fit into at D1 level? He will not be able to get himself open or get by his man & the only thing I can see is if he plays 2 or 3 & can possibly post up a smaller player. I cannot see someone giving him a major D1 scolly with such limitations. Just my thoughts.

If they get out of the district anything is possible but whomever takes over the coaching duties could have been left in a whole lot better shape had Coach Mayse developed his bench the last 3-4 years!

Congrats to Amber on this great accomplishment!

Does anyone know if EKU, Morehead, Muarry, WKU signed, offered or at least talked to any Ky kids this year? I know MSU signed Ballou but definitely them & EKU missed out by not getting Ethan Faulkner or his brother Evan.

Huge mix up here! Definitely a bad situation

Any word on who made the team from this weekends tryouts?

Wow, look like they were the best players among the best from these regions among the seniors. No surprise here!

Heard the big 3 from Elliott Co were playing

I'll have to agree with Westsider on this one. IMO had WJ been in the other bracket they would ave been done after game 2 & never seen Saturday morning. Much like Hazard last year.

I may be going back 11 or 12 years on this but if you are talking about either the high school career or state tournament performance you would have to say Rick Jones needs to be on this list somewhere.

They truly got a steal! In the style EKU plays I cannot see how someone from Detroit, Cincinnati, DC or wherever could be a better fit!! The Ky schools wonder why they do not get the local support!!!

Another back handed slap at EC as I cannot agree with Chrisitan Co at all. I was really not impressed with them. Holmes kept them in the game way to long by slowing the ball down. Each time Holmes stepped up the tempo they opened a double digit lead. CHristian Co had a lot of athletes but not enough basketball players to go along with it. I would have put them 9 or 10 at best.

Then I suppose my entitlement allows me to say IMO, you've been probably one of the 3 biggest fighters against Elliott in this forum all year if not the biggest!

IMO humble at that, I must say What a silly silly comment that they did not impress you. I will give you the depth thing though!

So which is it they didin't impress your or did they?

Ethan is way to smart of a baskeball player to do something like this in such a game or any game for that matter. More than that believe it or not he understands and respects the game & his opponent way to much to do something like this intentionally! Plus the fact is this is just not Ethan, in all my years of watching him on & off the court I have never seen him mad, lose his composure or anything of the sort. Throw in the fact that he is to good of a kid and would never do anything like this intentionally. It is just not his personality!

It seems your team is whoever is playing Elliott Co

If these two teams play one big key that I haven't heard anyone mention is if Holmes wants to play slow will they be disciplined to pull off the break if its not there & set their offense. As basketball fans we all have seen it at every level if slow down is your style or strategy it is very rare that team doesn't get caught up in the up tempo game. Will Holmes guards be able to pull it off?

He has proven he can coach so if he made a move I would think it would be more toward Central Ky to a more high profile job.

Obviously EZ you haven't been paying to much attention to most of the threads regarding Holmes this year & especailly the last month or so. All eveyone is talking about is the low offensive production even the Holmes fans! Especially since a lot of it seems to be by the coaches design according to some Holmes & 9th Region fans. Go back & read some of the comments.

Eastern by 13, Corbin has been overrated all year. That said I would like to see Corbin win but do not think they will.

Trust me that is one thing of Mason Co that will not get to SV! Their guards are much quicker than MC guards. I'll go SV by 9 if they do not make silly fouls which they can sometimes do.
