I was contacted last year about this by Derrick and I thought it was a great idea. I told him that if he couldn't come to an agreement with anyone about a place to host the event that MCA would be more than willing to host the 1st annual 15th region roundup all star weekend for the middle school kids of our area. We were contacted by coaches from the following counties that I know of Floyd, Pike, Magoffin and Morgan counties. Again there might have been more but I personally spoke with coaches from these counties. After everything was said and done and trying to work with everyones schedule we had kids from Floyd and Pike counties participate in a two day event. I personally think it went great. we had the 3 pt. shootout for C, B & A teams. Big man competion for C, B & A teams and an Allstar game for the C, B & A teams. No kids were turned away that showed up to participate or play and that was one of the great things about it. There was over 100 kids that showed up and every kid had a smile on their face the entire weekend and you couldn't tell who played for who. Every kid seemed to have a blast. I feel that every kid that showed up truly got to be a kid that weekend.
I hope that everyone involved can pull something like this off again this year because it is needed for the youth of our area.
