Lyon County upsets Great Crossing to advance to State Championship

[Stretch98]

I attended three Lyon County games at this season's "All-A" state tournament. Perry is a player but they are solid at every position and very well coached.

2 great scorers and a really good supporting cast. Complete team. They guard well!

The way to solve this is to bar private schools from competing in the Sweet Sixteen. Hold a separate tourney for privates to prevent lawsuits if you have to. But, there is no way private schools that actively recruit should be allowed to compete against schools with different rules governing who can play.
Only other option is to allow everyone to play by the same rules. In other words, allow recruiting. But, that truly would be a mess!

Don’t fix something that isn’t broken.

Not one, but two Cinderella stories. What a great tournament it's been.

Second Region showing out!!! Also great to have a small school with a shot to win it all!!

Yes it is. Earlington won in 1967. Don’t think there were 300 students in grades 1-12.

What did the Moreno kid do? The time I saw him, he wasn't very impressive. Of course you need guards to get the ball to him too.

Another Cinderella story from a small school in western Kentucky from the first region was the Cuba Cubs, who won it all in 1952, beating DuPont Manual.

Gary Gamble was the star of that Earlington team, and he went on to play for Rupp at Kentucky.

Gary Gamble graduated in 1966.

The 67 team went to the New Year Eve game at Memorial. When Rupp found out they were coming down he started Gamble. Might have been his only start.
