[Truth]

If there talking about you it's cause they respect you. I have alway thought the 16th got a bad rep as a bad basketball conference. I believe the two regions Mike Flynn won he drew lex Cath both times. Morgan county an Elliot county had some really good teams and as you said Elliot and Rowan have both played on the final day with Rowan a overtime away from a championship. Also didn't Russell win a game or 2 at Rupp when Vanhoose was there? I'm not sure.

Your defense of your region is good. However, whether fair or not, the 16th Region is not held in high regard around the state. Since you go clear back to Flynn, over ten years, it should be mentioned that one of the highest regarded teams to come out of your region recently was Rose Hill with Mayo. Of course, I do understand that Ashland fans still smart from the Mayo Era and are unlikely to mention it.
