Lee county has been the best team in that district all year but like sometimes happens in the tournament the best team loses. I think Estill will give a better showing maybe even beat Knott. The Gibson girl is a great player but will graduate before the rest of the team matures enough to help her. What would be wrong with her moving to a school with a solid team to up her chances of getting a full ride at a good college. If we are wanting what's best for her and we should be,it shouldn't be any problem

Macie Gibson has played AAU basketball for the past two seasons. Last year she was moved to one of the Kentucky Premier teams halfway through the summer and played games in Lexington, Bowling Green, Nashville, and Atlanta, to name a few of the places. This summer she will be on the team which are all D-1 prospects and will be playing against other D-1 prospects. She will get all the publicity that she needs from playing high level AAU..College coaches rarely scout players at their high school games anymore unless it's someone they've locked in on from AAU and want them to know they are highly interested.

Macie doesn't have to transfer to get better or to be noticed by college coaches. They already know about her. The AAU circuit is what they focus on in summers to check out the talent.

However, it would be interesting to see what a team composed of Gibson, Proffitt (and her teammate who's name I can't think of but averaging around 20), Kash, and a few of those Leslie County shooters, and maybe t h e big girl from Letcher, would be like in an all star game. That would definitely be a formidable team!
