Sean Leslie for p-burg has been playing real well lately.

I think Shawn may be too busy deciding which college offer to accept

Any chance of him going to Pikeville College? If they have offered tell him to take it, they are in need of players like Shawn.

From what I am hearing that will probably not be his choice, but I'll let him make his own announcement. I think he might be going to where he will play an integral part.

I made a statement earlier in the week about Shawn being the best player in the 15th region and several other players not being able to carry his water bottle and I got chastised by their respective rooting sections. Just this week in the 57th district tournament I have seen several of the other top player candidates play multiple times such as McCarty, May(only once), and Slone. Let me say this one more time, there is absolutely no one that has the impact that Shawn Thompson does night after night and nobody in this district can carry his water bottle.

May is very streaky and only plays when he feels like it. Great players come out ready to play night after night after night. Maybe he has coaching problems, and maybe he has personal issues which have been mentioned, but bottom line, great players overcome all of those issues when they take to the hardwood.


Slone is just not that great of a player. Matt Maynard would eat his lunch 10 out of 10 games. I know that the Big Blue's will be crawling out of the woodwork to defend his honor, but relax in knowing that I do think he is a well above average player , but he is not even the best player on that team. In fact I may not have him rated any higher than the 3rd or 4th best player on that team. VanHoose is your best all around player, then followed by Grimm and maybe even Pugh. If they all want to play as a team they can be a successful team, but if they all want to individually think they are the show then you can write it down that they will be sitting at the house from now on, because it's all one and done from this point on.

As far as McCarty it is ridiculous to even have anyone bring him up. That is one player that would be sitting on the bench next to me if I were the coach. That kid just has no concept at all about what a team sport is all about. You JC fans can now have your turn at me , because even though he hit a couple of threes at the end, he is the very "bird" that cost Johnson Central their game last night with stupid shot selection. When Central had the momentum going their way with what I believe was an 8 point lead, it was McCarty that took them out of their apparent game plan and let Paintsville back in the game. Of course you could also pin the blame on his coach for leaving him in the game. I really think that you all may have gotten a real lemon in the coaching department with your new leader. He seems to do some pretty stupid things and doesn't appear be the brainiest guy of them all.

I'll have to watch Brad Lowe a couple more times before I can really give an educated summary on him. I have not watched him very much at all, but there must be something to his hype. You cannot lead the state in scoring for a major part of the season and have your team playing at a high consistent level and not be pretty darn good. One dimensional players usually show their true colors and their teams usually follow the downward flow in the end.

So as of right now , I stand firm in my opinion. It's Shawn Thompson.

theboss is obviously of low class and also ignorant.

1. Brad Lowe is unstoppable (6+ gaurd in the region that can shoot, rebound, and is a great player all around.
2. Ryan Johnson (sorry if people do not like him but stats do not lie) 18 ppg, 6.5 apg, 9points and assist combine for 30+ a game he is responsable for, 4.5 rpg out of a gauurd spot and can blow by anyone in the region.
3. Landon Slone (when he is driving first then moving and shooting outside)
4. Maynard and Case (have to put these two together one is not as good if the other is not on the court)
5. Sean Leslie (can score in and outside and will block your shot on the defensive end)

Unstoppable? I don't know if such a player truly exists.
However... here are my observations on the best players IMO I've seen. Of course I've only seen 14th region players ... so I'll limit myself to that.

Players I have personally seen play?
---- Cody Gilbert gets special mention as he is really talented. He can lose his head, which is unfortunate for him, but such is being a teenager. He can be a little lax on defense, but is a great offensive player ----

1. Tyler Rich - he may not always score high, but he always manages to pass and get the ball where its needed when the chips are down.

2. Clint Dixon - This young man keeps his head and is always on the level.

3. Caleb Fetters - Probably the most level headed player I've seen; he sinks his free throws, especially when it's necessary. And this kid can fly to only be 6'2

4. Tie - Blake Christopher and Daniel Neeley - Both are great ball handlers and Neeley can flat out shoot the ball. Christopher is managed to stay unrattled in tough situations as he proved at the opening round of the 56th tourney, when the Powell fans were practically in his face.

I've not seen Justin Hicks play, but I hear great things about him. I also hear great things about Stepp, but I've listened to several games on the radio where he did seem "stoppable" and rattled. When he doesn't score, he doesn't seem to contribute much leadership, but he is young though and has plenty of time to develop I'm sure.

This is just my opinion and I'm sure I left out many deserving kids because I just did this fly by seat.

They werent too unstoppable yesterday.....

Devin had 28 and Wes a double double and if memory serves me right Sheldon Clark BLEW a 14 point lead
