As you all know I have already posted about getting a weekly ranking going for the teams. While thinking of this, I came up with another idea.

What if after the state KBA tournament at the end of the season, we started a Pike County vs. Floyd County all star game for 8th graders. I'm sure a bank or some company around here would be willing to sponsor it and purchase practice jerseys for the game. Channel 5 would more then likely broadcast the game considering it is the down season for sports and finally, it would give the kids who earn the right to play in it one final chance to show case there talents as a middle school player.

Was thinking maybe the game could rotate every year between Pike and Floyd County High Schools, and just to make sure every kid got a fair chance to play...kids would only be eligible to play in the game one time.

We could get the coaches from each county to vote for the top 10 8th graders from there respected county to play in the game, let the county championship coach lead each team with there coaching staff.
