Do any of you think there is a team in the 15th that can contend for the state title?

Not this year. It's just hard for the 15th to have the fire power the bigger schools in this state have.

Fire power is one thing...how about size also...

I don't see it happening anytime soon!
Welcome to the best site in town! If you need anything, just let me know.

i think that the style of ball the 15th ragion plays has a lot to do with it.........no one in the 15th really runs and guns. In this region that should be all every team does because there is no size at all. But i dont think the 15th will compete for the state foe a long time either

It could happen again but it would take the stars aligning correctly.
Ball handler, shooter, 3 players over 6' 4"...doesn't happen often in Eastern Ky does it?

YES HE WILL BE AT PAINTSVILLE!
He is also on the Golf Team and just played in a Tourney @ Pikeville this past week. So everyone can just leave this rumor and him alone and let the kid play ball.:thumpsup:

Paintsville is the only team I can think of that can !

i don't see it happening in the near future

Shelby Valley will be a contender. They will be pretty good this year.

Are you saying that Shelby Valley will contend for a state championship??
It's not the size of the dog in the fight. It is the size of the fight in the dog.

I wouldn't say never, but it will be a while before a team from E. Ky will be a contender. I think it will take a team with good guards and a good post player with some size, with plenty of depth and a very good draw.

The 15th Needs to step up their tempo in order to compete with teams at the state level...
09-17-2006, 03:30 PM
give Shelby Valley a year or 2 and they will be
09-17-2006, 03:32 PM
they have a lot of talent in the freshmans this season so it might take them some time to get used to eachother but i think they will win region this year
09-17-2006, 07:35 PM
shelby valley will not win region this year no way they have to many young players....i give em 2 yrs and they will....this year paintsville will be the 15th best bet

When, now that is one for speculation!!!Well the 15th may contend for a state Championship sooner or later but I'm not sure the talent level will ever be what it was at least in my lifetime, it has dropped so much in the last 3 years or so that it is unbelievable to me, not just in the 15th but all over the state...
Just look at our last two Mr. Basketballs, Dominic Tilford(05') who went to Louisville but realistically is not a D-I caliber player and will never see any minutes there and Walt Allen(06') who is a great kid who signed with a D-II school but 5-10 years ago he would have never been mentioned for this award...These guys a good players no doubt...But compare then to past Mr. Basketballs like yourself in 98' or Rex Chapman(86),John Pelfrey(87'), Richie Farmer(88'), and Allen Houston(89) and so on..There is no comparision..I didn't mean to get off topic but I just wanted to throw in information to backup what I was saying...It's just puzzling to me, I still love watching HS basketball in Kentucky, It's great, and there are still some very good players but compared to a few years ago not even close and it seems to be getting worse every year...It may just be me but thats the way I see things.
