If the 2 guys played the same position, you might be able to compare them in that way. But to compare a point guard to a post player doesn't really make much sense.

And who might you suggest should have been the winner???

Ridiculous. FRA has had one of the most successful female basketball stars in Tennessee history. 3 time Ms. Basketball winner/4 time nominee - Derica Wyatt. smh!

FRA in Nashville sends a prayer for comfort in these sad times to the Mitchell community.

Yes - it's going to be hard, but possible.

9aafan - you were a sage in the sub-state!

They are rabid about their basketball in Kentucky - even down to the high school level. They have big media days for the nominees and a lot of press hype. Would be fun to have that here in TN!

Yes but wouldn't it be interesting to have one overall winner? I'm not sure what other states do but it makes for state-wide excitement and celebration of the one best player in Kentucky. Just a thought.

Has there been any discussion about possibly changing the format of Mr. Basketball to follow how KY does it? They have 7 nominees state-wide and one is chosen as an overall winner. In addition, only seniors are allowed to be nominated. What are everyone's thoughts on that type of format?

When their shots fall, they are hard to beat. Moran can hit 3s as smooth and consistently as anyone I've seen. A couple others can knock down the 3 also. Their inside guy, Cowie is a textbook fundamental big man - if you try to test him you will pay for it. Plus they are loaded with seniors and the group has played together for several years. Hard to combat against chemistry.

Thoughts from East-Middle Regional Tournament: I thought BGA would sail through but their shooters went cold the entire weekend. If they decide to get hot again, as they have been most of the regular season, watch out. They will be tough to beat and would have crushed Knox Webb in the Regional Championship game. Knox Webb has a good team and can run the floor. Very scrappy. But with just a couple of shooters and no true post player, they might be easy to match up with for most well-rounded teams. FRA took a hard hit when their high scorer went down with a season-ending injury just prior to the Regional tournament. However if you underestimate their post play and the heart of their guards you will be sorry. FRA is no stranger to post-season play so they may be ready to upset some folks. DCA is made up of a bunch of warriors - hard workers on both ends of the court. Their conditioning will serve them well since they don't have much depth at all. Their starting 5 must carry the load. However, if you give their high scorer a sliver of daylight, he will knock down big shots consistently. Good luck to all going forward!

Yes - DougS, we wish Skal the best in his recovery! And you are correct - any word on his return?
