Watchful Eye Wrote:You can't compare Apples and Oranges. Most of the "great" teams mentioned in previous posts have been stained due to consolidation. When you consolidate you not only loose tradition you loose your community. Schools of today have no community lines, for example players at any school in the 15 region alone many have players that are from other counties, other cities but come (or at least set up an address) to play fro that particular coach or team. Those teams such as Inez, Oil Springs, Meade, etc. all developed their success from kids from that community and that community only. The community was built around those basketball and some built around football games. Pride, i am sure flows in kids blood nowadays but being from very small, very rural sections of Eastern KY. and only being able to picture Rupp Arena by the descriptions on the radio ,is a little different than modern day 15th region basketball. I am sure pride still exists but it used to be at a different level.Watchful Eye, I agree with you 100%. Consolidation has been the very worst thing that has ever happened to basketball. In the 15th region, I think that Shelby Valley could be the exception.
