Not saying that or trying to make it look like the region is weak if teams like Boyle, Highlands Trinity, Danville, and Bowling Green had participated over the years I don't think this Region would have won so many titles with stiffer competition.

Ok no one stopped them from participating, I am not going to get into a pissing match with you. As plant man showed earlier most teams did. IMO Boyle had a good team a few years ago, and now they have some world beaters, time will tell. That doesn't discredit anyone else because someone chose not to play, period. TBH most teams like Boyle doesn't play until they have a group they think they can win with. I will go even a little further, how many teams won that didn't combine grades to build power house teams, I do know that Corbin doesn't allow them to play as one they recongnize 7th and 8th. With that being said does Boyle have any 7th graders on there team[/QUOTE]

Like I said earlier not trying to discredit anyone, I know this region has always been strong. The Boyle 8th grade team from a few years ago that you speak of are sophomores now and IMO were a much better team than this years team, and the only reason Boyle has never competed in this tournament is simply because the previous coaches had no interest in it this is coach Gavans first year and the fact that Boyle has seven state titles means that they have had the talent to play and compete in this tournament.
