Must have been a kid talking about the 4 out of 5 thing. When someone says Kentucky..... what do you think of? BASKETBALL! Lex and Louisville sport some fine teams as does Mason Co., etc.. It goes on and on and the team play and fundamentals are better up there. I've seen plenty of it. More dedication by the masses. The two states top teams would be a splendid game I'm sure, but Ky. is the #1 basketball state in the nation, bar none! :D

not a kid bro... Kentucky may well be a better basketball state than tennessee...(California is the best overall as always so for you to say they are the "best" is idiotic) Averaging out how good the average team is there... But they don't have the extreme talent that tennessee does...... There isn't a team in kentucky that is as talented as Bradley Central or whitestation... So sorry... and here's a few names for you.... Shawne Williams, Corey Brewer, Reginald Delk, Tyler Smith, Jamont Gordon, Brandon Wright, Pierre Niles, Willie Kemp....... Choose a starting 5 from that group, and there isn't any combo of 5 kids from ky that could handle them..... Like I said, Ky may be better overall as far as percentages go, but the best from tennessee is better than that from kentucky.... If only UT could keep there talent in state instead of letting them venture out to go to college..

This has me a little curious. I've always thought the way KY does their state tournament is cool. It always has the David vs. Goliath showdowns that our tournament sometimes lacks. The NCAA tournament is like that and I understand that the TSSAA wants to be fair and let teams win championships, but I think that does a disservice to the smaller schools in our state. I know many times in boys and girls bball that a AA team could beat any AAA team. There's something about having one champion that I like. What are your pros and cons of a one class (or no class) system?

after 20 years of tennessee high school basketball, and during those years living in Northwest tennessee and seeing many high school games in kentucky, i have concluded that:

 

#1. high school basketball is a religion in ky, and even so in indiana......heck, i have seen high school gyms in those states that will seat more than the largest high school football stadium in tennessee.....remember the movie blue chips? that was a high school gym in indiana, not a large college gym.....

 

#2. kentucky high school basketball is much more fundemental/team sport than tennessee, generally speaking......

 

#3. tennessee has more atheletes, especially in west tennessee.....

 

#4. Lexington and louisville have quite a few "White Stations"and "Bradley Centrals".......

 

# 5 tennessee plays more of a "up tempo" style game.......kentucky plays more of a shooting/pickett fence, pick and roll type game.....

 

 

without a doubt, kentuckians fill up those high school gyms.....and they are tuff to win in.......

 

but when they come to tennessee, they better be ready to run…….

I work w/ a guy that is from kentucky and has seen all of their basketball riches.... I talked him into goin to the state tourney last yr and watch whitestation and he stated that he's never seen any kentucky team (he's from Lexington) that would even keep it w/in 15 pts of them.... And they don't get intimidated by going to another site to play.... I would pick bradley or White Station over any High School KY team in any venue.....

    • I really don’t get your point. Yes, Bearden lost two superstars, that can’t be glanced over, but if you still look at their roster, they have star talent almost everywhere. I’m sure Jones was expecting to lose players. I mean, it’s been rumored since the days they both stepped into Bearden, but I mean, they still have star talent everywhere, receiver, linebacker, safety, defensive back, running back, not to mention they have two probably top 20 quarterbacks in 6A battling it out every day for the starting position. And knowing Jones, I’m sure there will be another star talent that lands in Bearden this off-season, which, based on hearing rumors, may already be there. I’m not too sure. But Chaz and Brody will definitely hurt, but I really doubt it will affect Bearden as much as you think. Maybe during the postseason going up against teams like Oakland, but I doubt during the regular season.
    • The ironic thing is that in 13 or 14 they did the same thing to the baseball team and hired a moron to coach them and the kids refuse to play. nobody came out they changed the coach to a competent baseball coach and within 3 years went to win a  state championship.so things do hold water when it comes to these things.
    • Dingleberry needs to educate herself on Clemer’s “resume” and why he has been dismissed at a few previous positions along with his love of milf and cookies before making her final decision on the matter I do believe. He would not coach my son just from the stuff outside of the X’s and O’s. Throw the football inadequacies in the mix and it just adds to the list of reasons also. Just a really bad deal given the list of coaches that applied from across the state and beyond there is no explanation whatsoever other than agendas why he was hired. 
    • Not looking good Captain,not looking good.We had 0 Srs before all this and had a decent amount of Sophmores and 4 or 5 Jrs.Now I heard we have about 14 kids I have not confirmed that and honestly I don't think I will go any further with it.What the community wants and what the faithful supporters along with players and parents it doesn't matter.The Loudon School board made the decision for us and it has killed our program.Folks can say butt hurt whiners whatever they want to but we are a very proud Community and expect the BEST choices to be made from our Administration and that's just not the case.I was at a Basketball game this winter for my grandkids and ran into a former teammate of mine that I actually coached youth league with for a number of years and he told me they were over 100 applications turned in and they hired the best friend of the School board Member who suggested him.He has even reached out to try to help the guy and he refused so here we are going into the fourth season of bad football.GB since 1985 has not had 3 consecutive bad seasons,now we are facing 4 with no help in sight.How are we supposed to get behind such incompetence?Dingle berry says we sound like Democrats lol.Democrats accept all the crazy and weirdness in this world and just roll with it.Im no Democrat.I'm also tired of fighting for something that our say so holds to water.
