Coach Bentley has mentioned something about Estill hosting an 8-16 Team Tournament next year, not sure if he still will or not




I don't think Hazard will be on there. I do know that Coach Bentley and Coach Hatcher (Perry Central) both want to play each other (Perry Central vs. Estill County), IF Coach Hatcher is still at Perry Central next year then I'm sure Perry Central will be on Estill's Schedule.

2012/13 is Estill's best chance to make a run at Region, They return their entire lineup (on occasions 1 of the 2 seniors started but it was mostly like this (Morris, Muncie, Jones, Trev. Jenkins, Baber). District Tournament is at Estill County

[Wildcat100]

Estill co. won't even be in the conversation for a 14th region title... They may return a lot of starters but they were really weak this year and plus the coach don't have a clue about coaching basketball.... I hear Estill is ready to ditch him....

Don't even be starting that crap, I know better. I've already talked with Coach Bentley about next year..

[McKamey]

Coach Bentley knows just as much basketball as any coach in the region!! A coach is only as good as his players and he almost had Estill in the finals last year and got them to the region this year! They probably played one of the toughest schedules in the region this year! He will always make them a factor come tourny time. He did a great job with the talent he has had and NO coach from anywhere would have went any further with the last two teams at Estill.

If the rumors are true then Lee County will definitely be giving Estill a run for their money next year because I have heard that Donte's two cousin's are moving back to Beattyvillle from Georgia for next year and from what I have heard they're just as big as him if not bigger and both are more talented than he was. Now again, this is a rumor so, it's a wait and see situation.

The question is what is Coach Wright gonna do? I've heard that it's 50/50 on whether or not he coaches lee county next year

That comes up every year and he is always back. I have not talked to him but, I would say he will be back.

[Strikeout King]

Estill has couple bigs in football but they don't play basketball, they might this year since it's their senior year.

I haven't really talked to anyone about next year's team, all I know is some of the schedule and I had heard that Boyd County wants us to come and play them in tournament or something like that this year, don't know if Coach is gonna do it or not

[Strikeout King]

Here's what I have so far!

Nov 27/29 East Jessamine (not sure what date)
Dec. 3 Southwestern
Dec 10 Rockcastle County (Boy/Girl Double Header)
Dec 14 Powell County
Jan 18 at Powell County
Jan 22 at Lewis County
Jan 26 at Letcher County Central

Nice Schedule put together by Coach Bentley. He has done a good job at Estill County. Tough job in the 14th region. I would look for Bentley to be a hot name for central Kentucky jobs in the next few years.

[WideRight05]

The good thing about having a year like this is that there is nowhere to go but up. But since Estill returns five starters from a team that IMO was a little better than their record shows, they will have a shot to win the region.

[Lucky7]

Estill is going to be a good team this year. They will be the favorite in the 56th district. However I dont see them being a contender in the 14th region. I still feel that the 14th is a mountain team region and Estill County is a bluegrass region team. But Coach Bentley has done a good job and you never know come tournament time.

[Strikeout King]

Lucky7 you know anymore of the schedule?

[Strikeout King]

Wheres Owsley County Owls at?

[Strikeout King]

You don't see the Jan 11 and Feb 1 games on the schedule? Their both boy/girl double headers with the girls playing both games at 6

As for the North Laurel tournament, I'm assuming each team will play everyone like it was last year

[Strikeout King]

Estill will be playing Wolfe County twice this upcoming season. 2nd game is on Feb. 2 at Estill
