Did we lose Sperry to prep school?

Sperry can play prep school. Games easier when you play with more talented players on your team.

Sperry was not even the most talented kid on his high school team until this year. Prep school is a different animal and I’m sure he could find a home somewhere but would it be like team Thad were he seldom gets minutes on the floor

Dude you not been to the games in a while? He’s been Breathitts best player since his freshman year.
05-07-2024, 04:57 PM
Oh yeah I have attended many more games than you have
05-07-2024, 06:42 PM
Well then you should know he’s been their best for a while. Who was better than him?

Not trying to take anything away from Sperry he has been a great player but Breathitt won the All-A without Sperry in 2022.

I'm a hazard fan through an through an don't care much for breathitts school system but I will give their players credit when its due!(05-07-2024, 10:18 PM)Cerberus Wrote:Best player in the region since he was a freshman?

Yep Christian Collins was Breathitt’s best player when they made the All-A run in 2022 and then won region in 2023
Rivals.com shows Sperry with zero offers at the moment. He is unranked by Rivals. If NKY offered he better jump on that opportunity

Idk why this has turned in to a hate on sperry post but come on you can't take away that the kid is talented an a good player. Christian was good for his position but he couldn't get into the scoring position that sperry can get himself in or free up other players to get shots. Collins was also 6ft 10 when everyone else in the 14th is 6ft 6 at the most so height played a huge advantage seemed to me like all Collins worried about was leaking out to get a dunk an played very lax defense an sperry does the same at times but still yet all around he is the better player
05-08-2024, 01:22 PM
Who is hating? The thread was about transfers and someone said Sperry was going to prep school which is obviously not true. I simply said Sperry is not prep school material. If you guys would watch basketball outside the 14th region you would understand.

Checked the stats from a tournament he played with Team Thad. He averaged 17 points a game. Played with Jasper Johnson. Heard of him? Doesn’t sound like he was a bench setter.

Guys when you think of Breathitt basketball, you think of Austin Sperry. No disrespect to Luke, Brice, Christian, or Jaylen because they were all good players. But Sperry has been the man for a while.

I agree he is the man but for my money I’d take Christian Collins over him any day of the week

Austin should easily break the all time scoring record at Breathitt next season and has over 2,000 points, 640 rebounds, is only a couple hundred yards shy of the receiving record in football and holds the school record in the high jump at 6’2”. Also says he’s a 3 time all state selection and will be on the Ky Junior all star team that plays Indiana. Seems like he’s in a good position going into his senior year at Breathitt.

I just left the knott sports plex and I learned 3 things tonight 1. Flinchum was not playing with the wolves an the team looked lost and extremely weak when I left they were barely beating leslie which doesn't bode well for next year. 2 I over head a woman talking at the game say that flinchum is no longer at wolfe co an isn't going to school there an since she was a parent it's for sure he is gone fairly certain with other stuff I've heard it's Montgomery wolfe really screwed up they will be lucky to win 5 games and 3. future NBA all star noah kilburn was not playing with leslie county tonight I was hoping to see him put on the show jet says he can but he wasn't there! Main reason I went was cause I wanted to see flinchum put it all over kilburn so we could hush jet up guess we will never see that match up but I can still watch the bulldogs an bobcats an plenty of others show him how it's done

Knott County Sports Plex basketball is just like summer ball. A big bunch of nothing.
