[jayblackcat2006]

Wouldn't have SF that close to the top... maybe by putting JC at # 4 and Paintsville at #6 and sliding SF down to #7 would make that list perfect.

i think this is the first time that i have disagreed with u hahaha

1.) Valley- has been and will stay #1 until beaten
2.) P-burg- Playing great ball and are playing like last years team.
3.) Belfry- Is playing good could b playing better. Tough game on Mon.
4.) ER- Playing good ball needs to take the ball out of ABs hands a lil bit during tourny time and someone else needs to play as a threat.
5.) PC- Playing decent ball right now and always play good in tourny time. Could move up in rankings with a win on Mon.
6.) JC- A good team just not playing up to potential.
7.) SF- Havent played in a while which will hurt them. Will have to play big in district to make up for so long off.
8.) P-Ville- I just think they are to young as of now and will get nervous and break.
9.) BL- A good team just never do get it done during tourny time.
10.) Pikeville- Have played bad all season long needs to step up now had a good game against AC.
11.) Sheldon Clark- Has played weak all season but can b an upset team.
12.) Phelps- Could b an upset team in District tough to beat them at home.
13.) Magoffin Co.- Could b tough to beat remmember last year!
14.) Allen Central- Most disappointing season in a long long time.

Johnson Central is an on and off team, they have some good wins over Pburg and Belfry and some losses that they should have won.

Paintsville

[NothingButNet]

You have to have BL closer to the top i mean they are on a 4 game winning streak and they have gotten hot here lately. Plus you cant have paintsville and SF over them because they have beaten both of them. Iwould put BL as 4 or 5 IMO.

[15thRegionCrazy]

If I thought BL was better then the teams above them then I would have them closer to the top

[blackcat]

IMO all those teams are about the same quality.

[NothingButNet]

1. SV (only lost 1 region game)
2. P'Burg (very good team Quick and Strong)
3. Belfry (Athletic)
4. ER (not heard a lot about them but they are still a good team with AB)
5. BL (starting to get hot again looking to get into the region again)
6. JC (a good team when they play as a TEAM)
7. PC (got a good inside and out game)
8. SF (its according to what team shows up and havent played in awhile)
9. Paintsville (young but have a good coach)
10. Magg. (flying under the radar but could have an upset for JC)
11. Phelps (best year they have had in awhile)
12. SC (if they get hot watch out but they arent playing good right now)
13. Pville (big dissapointment)
14. AC (struggling this year)
15. Piarist (theyre not really even in the region)

[Bill_Don]

1. Shelby Valley (Record speaks for itself, only one loss in region play.)

2. Prestonsburg (Most athletic team in the region, it's about their usual time to turn it on and make a run, if they play like they are capable of then they could most definately win the region.)

3. Paintsville (After the loss to Pburg everyone is doubting them, it don't matter how young they are, they are definately a contender, beat JC twice and ER.)

4. Johnson Central (Have the size, athletes, and experience to make alot of noise in March, just up to them, they gotta want it.)

5. East Ridge (Aaron Brahnam is one of the best players in the region, they have been playing some good ball lately, if everyone steps up they could be a dangerous team to play.)

[NothingButNet]

Paintsville has been beat to many times for them to be a #3 seed i mean the loss to prestonsburg wasnt the only one that they have suffered.

[15thRegionSlamaBamma]

Another loss for them came early in the year and was a 17 i think point loss to PC

[Bill_Don]

Another loss for them came early in the year and was a 17 i think point loss to PC

WHAT, buddy you are smokin somethin, Paintsville had that game won then the inexperience kicked in, they lost by like 4, nowhere near 17 :roll: .

[Bill_Don]

Paintsville has been beat to many times for them to be a #3 seed i mean the loss to prestonsburg wasnt the only one that they have suffered.

Yeah they have lost quite a few games, but when you look at their schedule you might see why, yeah they might have a few cake games on there but who doesn't. They lost 3 games at Hylton Head, SC where NOONE in the 15th region would have won, they lost to Louisville Manual who is in the top 15 in the state, another team NOONE from the 15th could beat, lost to North Laurel who NOONE in the 15th could beat. Lost to Lee County by 1 point who also beat Johnson Central, lost to Harlan by 2 points the morning after they played a hard fought game at Magoffin County, lost at South Floyd, lost to Pikeville in the All "A" without Bundy, VanHoose, and Hensley playing hurt, lost to SV without VanHoose, Bundy, and Hensley playing hurt.

They have lost 6 games within the region, should have only lost 2, 3 at the most, the rest of the losses came against high quality opponents. You can say the are young and will fold all you want, Runyon won't let it happen and neither will these boys, they are young and got nothing to lose, they will bring everything they got from here on out.

[BCF4L]

Okay now Bill_Don. Let's not push it with Paintsville being #3. LOL I mean they will be good next year and the year after and the year after, but this year they aren't #3. They were #7 in last weeks poll for me and they will stay #7 at least until after districts. If they make it out of districts (which is likely to happen) they will move up on my list. But I can't give a team credit by losing to P-burg by 15. My rankings are kinda like the top 25. You win you move up, you lose you move down. I don't base it on records alone. Look forward to reading your reply. LOL :wink:

[SuperMario]

well...i think valley is one. The rest, are well, even.

[NothingButNet]

Paintsville has lost to BL also so if you want to go by that all 3 of those 58th teams are better than them.

[JKWON33]

First off, Paintsville lost their first 3 games by a total of 5 or 6 points. At PC, the first game of the season which I attended, Paintsville had the lead the majority of the game until they started making mental errors which is expected by a young group. Anyway....

Shelby Valley
Prestonsburg
South Floyd (Becuase they played good at the All A)
Belfry
Paintsville
East Ridge
Johnson Central
Betsy Layne
Pikeville
Magoffin Co. (sleeper, if they get by JC then could possibly make noise)

[bevinsville_bomber]

1. Shelby Valley (Record speaks for itself, only one loss in region play.)

You sure your username isn't Bill Mike? :lol: No way Paintsville is at #3. Maybe in the next few years, but not this year.

Season is over blackcatfan4life, and I ain't your F'n bubby.

You're right the season is over and SF did absolutely nothing to earnt the 3rd ranking.

LoL its interesting how you base things on how teams played against prestonsburg. I also find it interesting that you criticize JKWON33 for his rankings because you do rank teams by a performance or two. Who cares if Paintsville lost to pburg by 15? That means nothing when the tournament rolls around.

Actually wins and losses are very good indicators of how a team will fair in the postseason. All BL4Life was saying is they have been beaten alot by some large margins so Paintsville is probably not the team with the 3rd best shot of winning the regional title.

[JKWON33]

They won the All A Region, something Valley didn't do. I ranked mine on how the teams will fair IMO in tournament play. I am surely not pro-South Floyd if that's what you're thinking, I could careless how they do...just call things how I see them.

[Bill_Don]

You sure your username isn't Bill Mike? :lol: No way Paintsville is at #3. Maybe in the next few years, but not this year.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA :roll: :roll: :roll: . Grow up bomber, I can put Paintsville where ever I feel like it, it is my opinion. I have watched every team in the 15th region play except for Phelps and Piarst, when Paintsville plays like they are capable of they are the 3rd best team in the region IMO.

I don't care if Paintsville did lose to Pburg by 15 BCF4L, you know as well as I do that if Pburg played EVERY game to their full potential like they are capable of then they would beat EVERY team in the 15th region, majority of them by more than 20 points.

Didn't SF and BL beat Paintsville when VanHoose and Bundy were out, and Hensley played on a sprained ankle?

[BCF4L]

Oh brother. Some of you people kill me. I'm not basing my records on performances against Prestonsburg. Let's look here at some things.
Paintsville ( 12-13)

Lost to SF (14-14) by 2
Lost to Pikeville (8-19) by 1
Lost to SV (21-5) by 23
Lost to Betsy Layne (16-9) by 13
Lost to Prestonsburg (16-9) by 15
These are not numbers of a team that is the 3rd ranked team in the region.

South Floyd (14-14)

Lost to Betsy Layne (16-9) by 15
Lost to Magoffin Co (4-21) by 5
Lost to Betsy Layne (16-9) by 5
Lost to Prestonsburg (16-9) by 13

Numbers of a top 5 team but not #3. South Floyd is a quality team with some quality wins, but I just don't see them as a #3 team. They are good however and are capable of being there come tourney time. A better chance than Paintsville IMO.

And chill Bill_Don, I'm just pickin on ya son. :wink:

[Showtyme]

1. SV (12-1 in region play)
2. Pburg (12-4 in region play)

What quality wins does SF have that Paintsville's hasn't matched. Paintsville SWEPT the 57th District in the regular season. Paintsville beat Pikeville when they were healthy, and only lost by 1 when they had two players out, lost at SF when VanHoose and Bundy was out, lost at Betsy Layne without VanHoose and Bundy, lost to SV without Vanhoose and Bundy, although Paintsville wouldnt have won with those players, it definately would have been a better, much closer game, no excuse for the Pburg game, Pburgs defense shut Paintsville down. The fact is that Paintsville has beat most of the top teams in the region except SV and Pburg, it don't matter what their record shows, they are definately a top 5 team in this region.

[BBandG]

1. SV (12-1 in region play)

Very, very close. This looks like the best I've seen.

[15thRegionSlamaBamma]

i think everyones Rankings got messed up last night with the WIN by PC over Belfry does everyone agree.

[15thRegionFan]

I think PC should be somewhat higher in the rankings, but I believe Belfry is more consistent than PC. PC seems to play down or up to the level of there competition. Belfry is usually consistent every outting!

[15thRegionSlamaBamma]

u could b right

[NothingButNet]

They are consistent but if they have one more unconsistent night its packin the bags and heading home for the pirates.

[15thRegionSlamaBamma]

good point

[jayblackcat2006]

I have to agree Showtyme has the best rankings thus far, except PC should be in the top 5 now seeing they beat Belfry.

[BCF4L]

Here are my rankings after some of the 1st round district games being completed.

1.) Valley
2.) P-burg
3.) Johnson Central
4.) Pike Central
5.) East Ridge
6.) Paintsville
7.) Belfry
8.) Betsy Layne
9.) South Floyd
10.) Sheldon Clark
11.) Pikeville
12.) Phelps

14.) Allen Central

[NothingButNet]

1) SV
2) Pburg
3) JC
4) BL
5) PC
6) ER
7) Belry
8) SF
9) Paintsville

The rest doesnt matter because there is only one team on this list that wont make it to the region.

[blackcat]

1.) Valley
2.) P-burg

[15thRegionSlamaBamma]

PC jumped up in everyones rankings very quickly now :-) YAY they will most likely have a TOUGH first round game though

[Wyatt Earp]

1) SV
2) Pburg
3) JC
4) BL
5) PC
6) ER
7) Belry
8) SF
9) Paintsville

[Jules Winnfield]

You had the smiley face in exactly the right spot because they were smiling all the way home.

That was probably the funniest post I've ever read. :lol:

[SuperMario]

These rankings seem good to me...

[Amun-Ra]

rankings seem good?
BL still above SF...lol and fourth at that?

[BCF4L]

Okay after all the 1st round games completed.
As far as records go:

1.) Valley
2.) Prestonsburg
3.) Johnson Central
4.) East Ridge
5.) Belfry
6.) Pike Central
7.) South Floyd
8.) Paintsville

Massey's Power ratings:
1.) Valley .608
2.) East Ridge .257
3.) Prestonsburg .238
4.) Belfry .159
5.) Johnson Central .130
6.) Pike Central .100
7.) South Floyd .006
8.) Paintsville -.030

My rankings would be like this:
1.) Valley
2.) Prestonsburg
3.) Johnson Central
4.) East Ridge
5.) Pike Central
6.) Belfry
7.) Paintsville
8.) South Floyd

[greenfrog]

I think PC should be somewhat higher in the rankings, but I believe Belfry is more consistent than PC. PC seems to play down or up to the level of there competition. Belfry is usually consistent every outting!

Belfry has lost 3 in a row at wrong time of the year...consistency may be out the door.

[Raider]

Guys Guys Guys. Who beat PBurg for the 58th title tonight? Who won the All 'A' Tourney? Who won a game in Richmond?

BL is going to stomp South Floyd, haha! When SF played them first game of the 58th Tourney we beat them 20, if we play like we did against BL no team in the 15th region can handle us. Nobody.

You all was giving Pburg the 58th championship. Who took that right out of their hands? Everyone was saying, Pburg Pburg Pburg, but ya know now it's all about South Floyd, watch out Valley.

[BCF4L]

LMAO! Watch out Valley? LOL. Don't get too used to winning there pal. Your glory days will be over next game you play. GUARANTEED! :wink: You didn't take it out of P-burg's hands, they handed it to you by going 9-29 from the foul line, and the stupid foul at the end that was called for by the coach. Dumbest decision in the history of basketball.
My rankings still stay the same.

[Wyatt Earp]

Thats the good thing about being a faithful fan is sticking up for your team with loyalty. Prestonsburg hopefully will get another shot next week and if they don't they have had a decent season. South Floyd has lots of confidence in themselves right now and the players know what it takes to win tournaments which was proven tonight. Prestonsburg has been ranked pretty good in the ratings lately and they deserve it. South Floyd is still somewhere around 9th and loving it. I think I will rate them about 12th and try to see if this will motivate them some more. I really liked the way the crowd of kids stayed together and cheered for P-Burg tonight and I thought it really intimidated the Raiders when they made the run starting in the 3rd period. Ryan Johnson came real close to missing those two free throws as one almost hit the rim. What was that foul about and why at that time of the game? I think I will question that Doc, However I can't say it made me mad.

[Superman]

Give SF some respect..your post is ignorant. Like you really know how good they will do in the tournament, unless you have a time machine. I guess i should start calling you Marty McFly since you "know" so much about what will happen next week. You talked about how Prestonsburg would basically dominate the game, and buddy you were wrong. Any team can win on any given night, and you can make all of the excuses you want, but that will not change anything that happened. Prestonsburg has a talented team, and so does SF....SF just had the better game tonight, which is obviously hard for you to admit. I guess that is understandable after my team (Paintsville) got beat also. I kind of know how you feel, but i am willing to show respect to JC. :evil:

[Amun-Ra]

Wyatt u are right in how people stick up for their teams but sayin Pburg handed SF the game??? come on... SF didnt shoot no better from the line... and yes that foul at the end was stupid but how about blowin ur leadin the fourth? i guess that was when Pburg was handin the game over...

[BCF4L]

Superman I'm showing respect to South Floyd. Saying P-burg didn't dominate the game tonight would be crazy to say. They had a double digit lead the whole way through until 6:30 to go in the 4th when SF started fouling P-burg and sending them to the line. Smart move on SF's part. SF is a good team. I will admit that, but you will never hear me admit that SF took the game from P-burg because that didn't happen. Any team who had a commanding lead the whole game, and dominated the whole game, then turns around and gets beat in the final seconds is handing the opposing team the victory. Anyone will agree with me on that. SF done a great job of hanging in there and not getting too far down. Coach Hall has done a great job with this bunch all season and I congratulate them on the win. That's not hard for me to do at all. But, I just don't see SF making it past anyone in the region unless they draw Paintsville in the first Rd. That's just my opinion though. I'm still frustrated with the foul at the end of the game. I can understand fouling if SF had a shot at an easy layup, but they were dribbling at half court. SF didn't shoot well all night long, so take a chance on getting beat on a buzzer beater instead of handing them 2 freethrows. I just don't understand why any coach would do that. Ignorance on Coach Crisp's part. All of our fans were stunned whenever we seen the foul. Craziness I guess. But congrats SF and Coach Hall on the victory and good luck in the regional tournament. How cool would it be to see these 2 meet up in the regional championship? Be a great game I do know that much.

[spxdad]

Shouldn't this thread be closed since there is now a "Rate the 8 teams in the 15th"??? Since they are the 15th Region as of now???

[BCF4L]

Yea I agree with ya.
