Shouldn't we be congratulating Sheldon Clark on a great win instead of downing them because they supposedly "shouldn't of even been in the tournament"? From what I understand, SC is a lower enrollment school. I know Phelps fans are a tid bit peeved, but you lost. No reason to bring up this All "A" and classes crap. It's just like if a small team plays a huge school from Lexington during the season. They shouldn't bring stuff up like "well, they're in this class and we're not". It's about the team who has the most heart, with the most determination, who plays night in and night out no matter if you have 100 students in your school or a 1000.
SC played with heart. Do you think the Phelps girls out on the court were worrying about how many students SC has in their school? No. They were there to win a game. And if they were thinking about the student number, then they didn't deserve to win anyways.
My hat goes off the Phelps. They played a great game.
But Sheldon Clark does not need to be put down because of what class they're supposedly in. They won. They came back from what, 15 down? That took heart. They didn't give up. It was a fantastic game to watch.
Now come on people, why don't we start congratulating SC? The Lady Cards are on their way back to the top with Darrin Rice. They haven't been there in a long time.
Girls I hope you represent this region well at State! Don't worry about the haters. Martin County and I'm sure many people around us are already very proud of you!

I don't think anyone is hating on SC, at least I'm not. They played a great game, and Coach Rice is a very good coach, and in my opinion, the deciding factor in the game. I think the point most people are making is the fact that it is hard for small schools to win a district and region and that is why the All A was started. Over the years, they have changed the guidelines to allow some larger schools play. SC may have lost a lot of students, but they are still much larger than Phelps, Pikeville, Allen Central and the other schools who are truly single A. Now that they have allowed the larger schools to participate, it is now just as hard for a true single A school to win the All A as it is to win the KHSAA region tournament. I know that the All A is not a KHSAA sanctioned event, but they should use KHSAA enrollment to figure out who should participate. Now everyone would agree that larger schools have an advantage over smaller schools. If I were a small school, I just wouldn't play in the All A, because it counts towards the amount of games they can play, and for the most part, the larger schools are going to blow out the smaller schools anyways. But as far as SC goes, I think Coach Rice has brought those kids along quite nicely and will be a tough team to play for a few years. And the young kids were quite impressive keeping their composure. Good game Lady Cards. I felt that at the start of the fourth quarter they were going to pull it out and they did. Good luck at the state All A.
