JBS-National Attention

~~Arbys Man~~ · 03-21-2007, 03:24 PM

Don't say people dislikes JBS cause of jealousy and their a private school. People don't dislike JBS, they dislike the Stepps.

OK. :confused:

I'm sorry but I doubt your accusations have anything to do with the success the Stepps enjoyed while coaching ALC and leading them to the NAIA Tournament on numerous occassions.

Congratulations, June Buchanan! It's nice to finally see something get national attention from our area, and it not be something negative. I thought the article was well-written, and some of the quotes by Allen, I thought, were very professional. Good Luck against the Dragons of Warren Central on Thursday. Maybe you'll win the whole thing. Maybe you'll win a few games. Or maybe you won't win any. However, this is an opportunity very few high school basketball players in this great state get to experience. Make the most of it guys. You've earned it!

I think all the attention is due to the fact that JBS is such a small school and also because this is the first time they have ever been to state. It's history in the making. These boys have parents and friends and fans who are proud of them just like I am proud of my Bulldogs and everything they have accomplished this season.

I agee, very professional but very exposing. Listen, his statment about "when your winning, people assume you are doing something wrong" is totaly false. I have been associated with sports my whole life, in and out of KY, have been involved with winning programs, very rarely have I ran into such an attitude. I doubt that JBS has violated any recruiting rules. Mr. Allen seems to be a very intelligent and capable headmaster, he probably is a great employee and does exactly what his president tells him. The wrong doing more likely has to do with academics, this is what he knows best. Lets wait and see...

I'm not rejoicing. LOL If my Dawgs had won and were going to Rupp then I would be REJOICING!!! I would have given anything to see the Bulldogs go back to Rupp but it just wasn't meant to be this year and there's not a darn thing I can do about it. The Bulldogs had a great season and I'm just proud and thankful that I was able to be there to support them in their many accomplishments. There comes a time when you have to do the right thing. And now the right thing to do is to support the team that is going to represent the 14th region. But I can't help but wonder if, when Hazard went to the state tournament for the first time in 1925, 82 years ago, if we got all this attention?? Wink

I think JBS should get national attention for them winning the 14th region since they definitely deserved it. NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTT! True Story I also think Steppe was way over rated he didnt impress me at all.

Mr. Baseball Wrote:Did you know in 1956 the cities of Hazard and Wayland held victory celebrations for Carr Creek winning the state title? Here we are 51 years later and the vocal minority is ripping teen age kids for winning. It's sad to think eastern Kentucky hardly ever gets positive press from the "outside world" and then when we get positive stories written about our teams or the area...some mountain people try to destroy the positive. Go JBS and do your best.

thank the good Lord above for the person who posted this.
I'm extremely happy to know that people like you think this is great for these boys and the area. They deserve recognition for what they accomplished.

I seen the picture in the courier-journal....Where is Brent Hall in this picture.....Guess they forgot about him...Ohh wait his last name is Hall....That's why....

**Benchwarmer** · 03-23-2007, 10:05 AM

What, no Brent. Brent is a good person that deserves better.

Awwww, so sad. I guess their dreams were crushed last night. So much for trying to win it all....

Dude! I was just saying...basically anything could happen. No, they didn't win, but what a turnaround from everyone's homecoming game a few years ago, to 14th Region Champs. I wasn't saying they were going to win the whole thing, I was just saying, no matter what happens, for the kids to soak it all in, because who knows when this opportunity will come up again.

I think the picture was of the 6 players who had been at JBS since Kindergarten. Hall enrolled as a Freshmen after attending Beaver Elementary.

jbs doesnt deserve the recognition
