Rose Hill is not playing in the tournament
#7
Yes they are..They don't play on Friday though for some reason, but they play Saturday meaning that one loss means they're out...Rose Hill & Ockerman both can't play on Friday, but are both in the tournament...

They are on the schedule but personnel at KBA stated that Rose Hill pulled out of the Middle School State Tournament due to a Varsity game against Ashland in the district tournament. Since 3 of the 8th graders at Rose Hill start and play varsity, the coach wanted them to rest over the weekend instead of playing all day Saturday and Sunday right before the Ashland game. Apparently there is a HUGE rivalry between Rose Hill and Ashland.

From what I hear, the brackets may change due to Rose Hill dropping out of the tournament.

Virgie keeps producing a great middle school team and not to piss anyone off but how could they not when there players are consistantly holdbacks?
#11

I believe there are several that are considered "hold backs" Taylor Newsome, Ashley Hatfield, Tyler Newsome etc.
#15
what are their ages i really do not see the big deal in it all b/c every kid has the oppurtunity to stay back...Plus Hatfield originaly went to Phelps...

All the other schools have at least a couple of holdbacks as well, so why don't they compete for the state championship?

good luck JC

Believe me I have zero problem with the holdbacks, but 11 is not a couple.

Dorton - 1
Belfry - 1
Elkhorn City - 2


I have no clue about Pikeville's




That being said I hope Virgie brings it back to the Mountains:#1:

I'm thinking Pikeville has 3 or 4, but I'm not too sure...People can say that Greg Newsome always has the talent to win at Virgie, but when I was in 8th grade, we had zero (0) holdbacks and went 24-1 on our way to winning the county championship...People can say he does it with "holdbacks" but he's done it without them before..

I agree, I don't care if those kids are 12 or 15, someone teaches them fundamentals and how to play.

Greg is a great fundamentals coach and I hear he is going to be in the 60th district real soon as an Asst.........and maybe not at PC

YES Lets go Virgie!


Belfrys holdback was also done when he was in like the 3rd grade, so it wasn't just a sports thing! He's the right age for an 8th grader now. I think that makes a difference too.
