You're way off base with this comment. First off, why would a central ky team travel 2.5 hours to Eastern KY when the majority of the top 20 teams are actually in Central KY in the Lexington and L'ville area? I doubt very seriously central ky coaches who are competing in the 6th, 7th, and 11th regions fear traveling to EKY. It'd be pointless for them to make the travel when there's better competition in their own area.



Actually Hazard has played Holmes 3 of the past 4 years...all losses. Knott Co played Boone Co this past season and lost by 24. It's the other way around there chief...the EKY schools aren't trying to travel outside of the mountains but yet expect teams to bang down their door to come there, despite the fact that central and nky have better competition. Look up the teams records that you mention against nky and eky teams, and you'll find out it isn't very good. I know for a fact that both Holmes and Boone co tried getting a home and away series with EC this past season and they said thanks, but no thanks because they didn't want to return the trip. BTW, a lot of teams are playing on Saturday afternoons now, so the school night excuse holds little validity.



The KOB and LIT are nationally recognized tournaments. I've never even heard of the Kingdom of the Sun tourney in Florida. The big out of town tourneys are in Coco Beach, Fl, Myrtle Beach, and there are several in Texas that are nationally recognized. As far as the WYMT, it may be a good mountain tournament, but it attracts no where near the level of talent that central ky and nky tournaments attract.



I could care less honestly...but when you EKY folks get on here touting your teams up like they're the greatest thing since sliced bread, when they've done nothing to earn it, someone needs to step in and bring you guys back down to earth. EKY basketball is very weak. Why do you think the 16th, 15th, and 14th regions years in and year out are rated as the 4 or 5 worst regions in the state? Win a state championship then you can talk EKY basketball up.

You said I am way off! I am talking about the same thing you said. Teams in the 6th, 7th and 11th can get just as good as game or better in their own area instead of traveling 5 hours round trip to eastern Ky.

http://www.kingdomofthesun.net is a national tournament with many current and former NBA players playing in it right now. Check out this website if you don't believe it is a huge national tournament. It list all the former players in it that are starts now on different levels. You must not know much about national tournaments because you would know that in Florida the big 3 are City of Palms, Great Florida Shootout, and the Kingdom of the Sun.

Booher will play the best competition he can get to play him, just like Henley, Hicks, Salsman, etc. He as well as all other eastern Ky coaches just have it bad because of travel cost and central Ky teams not needing to travel 5 hours round trip to play a top 10-15 team when they can play one locally.

Holmes is head and shoulders above any eastern Ky team so I would not waste my time worring about SV or anyone else in eastern Ky.
