Do you have a score on the scrimmage?

...and I think that we all know how that turned out.

Thats a very well designed site, nice job!

"When they get the football players back I think this team will to be very competitive." Besides Matthew Taylor, what other football players will be joing the basketball team?

If thats the case then their opponents should invest in a good mouthpiece and practice their free throws...

...or a dedicated "homer".

Thanks and a great job on the updates.

1. Clay 2. Bell 3. Knox Central 4. Whitley 5. South Laurel 6. Corbin 7. Everybody Else

Exactly what does this mean?

Thanks for the score updates...keep'em coming.

Blazer, I believe that South, Corbin, and Whitley will be a battle each and every time they play this year. Home court may be the only advantage each team enjoys this year.

Will Whitley have any size or will they be heavy in the guard dept just like their district rivals South Laurel and Corbin?

Looks like South will not have too much to worry about within its District as all 4 teams seem to be heavy in the guard dept. and lack size.

My first guess is another current 13th region coach.

Alice Lloyd College absolutely got a steal! Congrats! Isaac. All those weekends that you traveled to Louisville, Lexington, Florence and others while having to "rough it" at the Marriot and Hyatt with Coach Farris, paid off. :lol::lol:

Since noone else mentioned him, what about Ryan Fucci from Tates Creek?

My prediction would be a (4) guard, (1) center lineup. Sanders, Huff, Smith, _?_ and Tabor as starters.

I believe you hit the nail on the head..."parent talk". South will be like Corbin, gaurd heavy. I actually give Corbin the nod in that dept over South. South's inside players have very little (if any) experience except for Tabor, who did see some minutes each game when St John was out.

Besides hope, what has changed at South that would give anyone a reason to move them up in the rankings/ expectations? Do they have a transfer or new student that will have a positive impact for them next season? I personally see Corbin, South, and Whitley as a virtual tie for 4th after 1. Clay 2. Bell 3. Knox Central

I can understand and appreciate your optimism for the Hounds next year but as they say in Las Vegas..."Bet with your head, not over it".

Just a guess but Id bet one of those transfers is a coach from one 13th region school to another 13th region school. Am I right, Les?:sssh:

Retrofitting RUPP with luxury boxes and new seating is a much better along with a new video/ score board to replace the "Big Bertha" speaker monstrocity. A new ribbon video/ message board surrounding the arena between the upper and lower levels will be nice too. The net loss of about 2000 seats will be offset 10 fold by booster revenue from the luxury boxes. This can all be done at 1/6 th cost of a new Arena not counting the 2-3 years of construction hassle and limited parking.

what about UK signee, Sara Barnette. I seen somewhere in the last day or two that she was the Player of the Year. Im confused. Has Ms Basketball been announced or is Barnette Ms Basketball?

Youve pretty much covered it. Corbin wins by 15

It appears that "UKfan8" still has a case of sour grapes over The Arena hosting the event, which was voted on by all schools in the 13th Region. The media hospitality room is not required. NL chose to offer something instead of nothing. Twice as many tickets were sold for the first round of girls play this year, than last. The Arena doesnt force people to attend just because there was a ticket sold. The only legitimate gripe presented by "UKfan8" is the high cost of concessions. The best way to change that is to not buy any and then management will get the hint during the next year. All seating is good with chairbacks. There is no time when you feel like your in a bench seat in the upper level of Rupp. Parking, ingress and egress is better than any previous Region Tournament held. Plenty of restaraunts close by too.
