Greene was the only one in the region that didn't have Russell as the favotite. RH beat us with a 1-3-1 defence not the 2-3. I wish Bradley had tried the 2-3 when we played Russell. You are not seriously saying RH had as much experience as Russell. Russell had what, 6 seniors and a couple of juniors.

Would you care to elaborate, I think I understand what you are saying but maybe not.

If they are giving the waward for building a program and sustaining it then it surely should have gone to Bradley. I think Kidwell and Euton both have not coached here very long. If talent and athletes make COY then why in the world did the coach of the runner up state team not get it last year. It seems to me that they keep changing the reasons the award is given out.

I still think COY should have been Bradley or Euton with Trimble as a dark horse. Ashland and Rose Hill both over achieved with the over all team talent they had. Raceland had a lot of good players but no winning tradition. Russell was just plumb loaded with upper classmen.

Anyone know when the paper is coming out with the team and who from Ashland made it?

Ilike to root for Raceland when I can also. But all you have told us is that your mom said Faulkner had a bad attitude when she was a freshman at Russell. Besides trashing a teen age girl, of what consequence is this on whether she played good enough this year to make the all star team? The truth is that it doesn't and all you are doing is trashing a teen ager.

That's pretty easy. We loved our Christian neighbor when we were beating the fire out of them every year, then O. J. Mayo showed up and changed things. Then the Faulkners transfered and allowed Rose Hill to win again. We like the easy wins better.

It is kind of hard to take the word of an "unbiased Russell supporter " on how Russell lost the Faulkners. But once again we were talking about an award given on how an athlete played basketball this year, not off court things. If her leaving Russell is the reason she did not make the team then that is a darned shame. Sorry you can't take the truth and from now on if you can't handle it move out of your mom's basement and get a life. If anyone not a Russell supporter would e-mail me the real reason the Faulkners left I would appreciate it.

pretty funny, if you do coach, just make sure it's at a public school.

Most of the posts last year said Euton should have had all the wins because of the team she had and that was why she didn't deserve it. But this year Kidwell should get it because of all the wins he had. Can't have it both ways, or maybe you can if you coach in the 16th region.

what's the criteria?

I wouldn't call one district win and no regional championships a great job. He got out-coached by Trimble in the district and Euton in 2 straight regional tournaments. I think you can throw in Bradley from Ashland as one of the only 3 coaches deserving of any kind of award this year.

Adults usually try to refrain from attacking teenage girls. Britt Faulkner must have been about 14 years old when she was at Russell. Sounds like you and your mother need to grow up a little bit. If Laura Terry actually wore that head band, I think it's "old school" cool. In this day and age of "it's all about me sports" it's nice to see a teammate take up for a teammate.

Anyone who watched Faulkner play this year knows she deserves to be on the All District Team. I thought the awards were based on how the players actually played. Not off the court bickering. For grown adults to punish a teenage girl like this just shows that area coaches are small people who are never going to get bigger. The coaches used the same arguments last year against Kala Faulkner. But now she plays for University of Louisville and has a full paid scholarship based on public service, the McConnell, I hope there are different area coaches before my daughter is big enough to play for the Tomcats.

Ashlands coach took an extremely young team to a victory in the region. Racelands coach took his team to the first district championship in school history. Rose Hills coach took her team to a district and region championship. Russells coach took the #1 seeded team at the beginning of the year and the favorite to win the region to a loss in the district and a loss in the region. I could understand giving the award to Bradley, Trimble, or Euton, but to give it to Kidwell who led his team to underachieve and got out-coached in the district and the region both is strange.

What were her stats this year? She must have played great to have beaten lex. Catholic.

If my kids ever get close to the talent of Emily Queen, I would be afraid to transfer them to Rose Hill because of this blatant bias. Of course that is probably what the area coaches are trying to accomplish. I don't see why they can't root for their own programs but still give due to the obviously best player in the Region. They keep saying these awards are not worth arguing over , but to a player that has worked so hard I'm sure it is. I wish my schools coaches had a little more class.

Nope, I just got back on BGP today to answer you, The web site is hard to look through, nothing is in order, I didn't meen to slight miss Gray. My eyes just aren't what they used to be.

You are right, they were nominated. Ilooked up the other Ky. girls that were nominated, I hope I didn,t miss any. Caroline Klein, Keyla Snowden, Elizabeth Campbell, Whitney Ballinger, Hope Brown , Thia Gholson, Emily Queen, Laura Terry. The 16th Region's Kayla Faulkner plays for louisville,

Which coaches ballots? Not the same ones that left off the all time leading scorer and rebounder in the 16th region I hope. I saw in the Independent that Queen and Terry made the McDonalds team. Who votes for this? I seem to recall it is a pretty big deal.

Wow, 40 tryout, How many make the team?:confused:

They sure didn't this year in the 16th Region. They must of been sick of Queen beating them not to have voted for her. I know she dominated our Kittens in the district.

:thumb: I'm sure he does, but most in the 16th Region won't give the head coach credit , let alone an assistant that stands up at games.

Queen is the all time rebounding and scoring champ for the 16th Region. She lead the region this year in both stats. She lead her team to two District and two Region championships. Rose Hill the team got out played in the tournament. I would think there should be quite a few more comments on her than a good team beating a good team. Not only was she the best player this year, she is in the running for best ever from the 16th region.

That pretty well somes it up. At least in the top ten and probably the top five, and voted fourth by the sixteenth region coaches. Doesn't say much for them.
