Pikeville 68 Lawrence County 67 15th Region All "A" Championship

new guy Wrote:I hear Kasonga is quite a player. I still havent been able to figure out how a kid can come from Canada to an Eastern Ky school then after one year transfer to another school in the same region. I bet with all the controversy over the mass inflow of Canadian kids that the kHSAA makes some rule changes. It has totally changed the complexion of basketball in Eastern Ky . Cordia has brought 4 or 5 in this year alone. And why would they pick schools in Eastern Ky ?

It's not a mass inflow man. Players have been coming from three places often for years. Canada, Europe, and Africa. In just these next two classes, 13 and 14, there's probably 45-60 foreign players in each class ESPN 150, and probably 30-60 of those 300 players are Canadian. Heck we have 5 Canadians in the Class of 2013 top 25, haha.

And it's just not KY. They're going to schools all over the country. Many different factors play in...the kid's goals, talents, best fit, ect.

I like it. It actually puts EKY basketball on the national map and brings attention, not to mention making our basketball much more excited and fun to watch. I think it's good for Eastern Kentucky basketball for sure.
