look for the lady cougars to be a sleeper team. With only one senior this year. They will be a team to watch out for..

Breathiit should lead pack, with LCC close by season's end.

Breathitt will miss the Shouse girl, and her strong 6'2 frame, a lot. I guess they will still be good, but it's hard to replace a player like her.

LCC should be tough to beat by season's end. Alot of young players in the mix. tough decisions by Coach Adams on who to play. That is a nice option though.

1)Letcher County Central
2)Perry County Central
3)Breathidt County <--sorry about spelling. Don't give me detention.. :)
4)Leslie Co
5)Estill Co

Don't see how you can leave LCC or Leslie Co out of top 5.

Leslie lost a lot and LCC will be young.
TheMasterpiece
07-11-2008, 09:29 PM
1. BHS( if can replace Shouse and Southwood)
2. LCC ( if young talent can step up)
3. KCC( need to find a replacement for Mosley)
4. PCC( young talent but hit hard by grad)
5. Leslie( didnt know who else to put here)
Overall I have to say a weak region, level of play is not very good after you get pass 1 and 2. Maybe some sleeper team will come out of 14th this year.

1. Breathitt County
2. Knott Central
3. Estill County
4. Perry Central
5. Powell County

This looks good for the top 5 at season's start but at season's end it could be completely different. I believe Breathitt and KCC will be 1 and 2 at the end but Estill can easily drop out, PCC has a few players with experience but not leadership experience, Powell usually has a tough team and they could improve from starting at 5th but i don't see them being 1 or 2. Good luck to all the teams in the region though.

I am glad that LCC is getting no repect. That is just what them girls need to prove that in the next 5 years we are going to be a force in the 14th.

LCC's girls are to soft and unwilling to do what it takes to win. When the going gets tough, they lay down and look for excuses.

Letcher Countians have always been my prey when it came to sports. I doubt much has changed in the past couple years. PCC will spank them and their so called all american 16 year old Freshmen to be.

listen, i have respect for PCC, and know they will always be good because of there coach. I do not think that they will get spank. It will be a good matchup, and a good game. Ladies cougars will be respected in the 14th region.

She was held back and her birthday comes after August 1.

So just one 8th grader held back?

Listen, if that happen, and I don't know if it did; that is between them and there parents. I don't know who all got held back.

Don't over look the hardest working coach in the 14th, McKinley down at Estill! If he gets/develops some talent, he will be hard to beat!

It's legal to hold kid's back, if that's what the kid and the parents choose to do. It doesn't matter if they are 16 as a freshman, as long as they turn 19 after August 1 of their senior year. If this girl is as talented as everyone says it looks like the family made a wise choice.

Several girls were held back in the LCC feeder system. All will be eligible to play 4 years of all sports.

If that is what the parents want to do then who are we to judge. If you wouldn't do that with your child then that is your choice.

Parents don't always know best: Shakespeare said, "You love not wisely, but too well." Also, the overall welfare of other students has to be considered in certain issues. Hold backs, for me, is a tough issue. If a group of players repeat the 8th grade, win the conference title playing against opponents a full year (or more) younger, what has been accomplished? In many conferences (Middle School) in central Kentucky, this is not permitted.

There are about 10 or more of the 16 year old freshmen. Personally I think the girls are pretty good but I think they are very over rated. The younger girls will catch up with them soon enough talent wise.

1.Breathitt- they may have lost shouse but noble,haddix,and hardin definitly make up for that big loss
2.Leslie- they are gonna be scrappy and very small but very quick
3.Letcher-they are young but still physical
4.Powell-With the return of there guard should be in the mix
5.Knott-Big loss with mosley leaving but there are no other teams to really put here.
The 14th is very weak this season I mean very.

cougarpride08

Putting LCC 5th is a little off in my opinion. With Knott loosing mosley, it will be hard for knott to play with us. I just think we are a better ball club. Leslie is another team that I think just doesn't have the talent.

JBS could be in the mix, got a couple of good young girls

Letcher is 1st or 2nd in the region with the Lady Bobcats close beside them.

soft? i know all these girls very well an trust me they are not soft...all these girls are rough especially there leader an only senior sharaye kincer. when you play with her i can guarantee you will come out with a black eye or something because she is physical and will do whatever it takes to win the game!

I have to say that personally I think that you guys are way overating letcher I have watched them play twice this summer and even though summer ball doesnt count for anything it does give you a little bit of an outlook on how a teams going to be and they didnt impress me at all even if they do have 8 holdbacks that is'nt gonna help them they are to young and lack varisty experience because high school basket ball is a whole different ball game then middle school and that is just my opinion on it.
UKisN1
08-03-2008, 07:07 PM
2 of those holdbacks played little this summer, and played a great deal of varsity basketball prior to last season.

We will see about your opinion.

Okay, I would agree with this, with the exception of 1 and 2 they both have the potential to change. KCC's JV nor freshman team has been beat in the last 2 years. KCC has a strong younger team to help with varsity. if I'm not mistaken there are two big girls for KCC. the Thomas girl being 6'1 and the little Slone girl being 6'2 put them in the weight room, and they will be hard to beat. also has anyone heard if Kendra Thomas, or the other Slone girl is gonna be back this season? both having injuries?

Kendra will be back for the season. The last I heard she may even be back before the season starts. As for the other Slone girl I have no ideal.

Perry Central just got a new transfer from Indianapolis yesterday. Desarea (Not sure about spelling) Baxtor. 6'3-205 center from Ben Davis High School. She is a monster. So she will more than likely be the top player in the 14th. Look out everyone else.

Ben Davis high school didn't have any player listed as Baxtor on it last year and the tallest person they had was 6'.

Never fails...Doesn't matter who down they look in the summer someone always seems to make their way to Perry Central. They never rebuild like most teams...they simply reload!
