Barnett has to be one of the best, if not the best high school player to come through Magoffin County. The kid can flat out play.

I’m not denying he is good.  The 15th region historically is one the weakest in the state. In his post game interview he’s stated in 7 years this is his first trip to the region tournament.(He had two sophomore years). 

To me numbers aren’t everything. It’s how you affect winning that makes you a great player.  For him to put all those numbers up and only get to the final 8 one time in 7 years. It does say something. It’s not like they’ve had bad teams in his 7 years. He is a tremendous scorer and more than likely will get to the regional final based on their current draw. I just would expect more from someone if they’re consider to be the best player in magoffin history is all.  Good luck to him and his team the rest of the way.

To defend him he has had to play in the toughest district and hasn’t had a lot of help those years. Either JC, Martin, or Paintsville has won region most years he’s been playing so he’d made region if Magoffin was in the 58th, 59th or 60th most likely
