Who are some of the good teams out of Lexington and Louisville?

I know Farnsley and LTMS are always tough.

What about Beaumont, Wilburn, EJ Hayes, and others?

[Cougar Connection]

Who are the players on Pike Central? Players from Mullins and Johns Creek combined?

Henderson South won the 8th grade title last year. I do not know what they have coming back. If Pike Central is taking a feeder school team then I know a couple of Virgie boys that would love to join Dorton for a Shelby Valley team.......just saying.

[Big Blue 09]

Is this not a school team only tournament?

[Cougar Connection]

Anybody know anything about Henderson South's team this year?

[footballfever]

Is this not a school team only tournament?

Should be.If you have a county school that has more than 1 middle school I don't see why the can't combine.

[booboo]

How do they know the best teams in the tournament??

[bballmaniac]

Knox will be lucky to make it out of the first round. Heard the team is falling apart

I would not underestimate them!

[Big Blue 09]

Looks like the pairings are out and everyone must be ready for an exciting weekend of basketball, cause not much talk. From what I have gathered the favorite must be Knox, is this correct? Or do you see another team dominating and why?
Good Luck to everyone!! Be safe in your travels and on the court.

Looking for Knox and Elkhorn in the finals.. But good luck to all the teams.

[blackunis]

Farnsley and kammerer out of louisville will be hard to be reckoned with. They have great athleticism.

Well do to the brackets this game will come earlier.

I believe the kammara team was DQ....not really clear why. They were in the middle of their game with Southern.

Don't know if this is true or not, but we were told that they played a high school player and were disqualified for it.

[Big Blue 09]

Wow what a way to end a good weekend of basketball, with the Championship game ended on disqualification!! WTG!!
Overall it was a good experience for the teams.
1 question did anyone else have a problem with the offsite officiating of the tournament? Seemed like they put the newbies at the remote sites. I'm not one usually to complain but some of them were terrible.
Congrats Holmes and all the players that made all tournament!!!

Kammerer was disqualified for using a player that was not on their roster. They had played in a city tournament in Louisville earlier in the day and kept their A team in Louisville and sent their B team to Lexington to play until the city tournament was over and A team could finish and make it to Lexington.
The Owensboro Catholic team had scouted the Kammerer team early on Saturday, then when they played, the A team had arrived and it appeared to be a different team. Once Kammerer defeated Owensboro Catholic, the Owensboro Catholic coach questioned their players.
When Kammerer submitted their roster prior to the tournament, they made an error and left a player off the roster, that played in the Owensboro game. So technically, they used an ineligible player and Kammerer was disqualified.
The game with Southern had not started. The teams were warming up and everyone was aware there was a question about the eligibility on some of the players.
I know some of the 8th graders play on the varsity team, but to my knowledge all the players were in 8th grade and were not freshmen.
