Lyon vs Harlan; WKY vs EKY for all the marbles.

[bbncal02]

This doesn’t happen often in the KY S16.

Being from WKY I have to pull for Perry and Lyon Co. but man. It’s cool to see Harlan in the final. That’s a county that has a lot of pride in KY.

Tbh I’m happy no matter who wins. Both counties are rural hearts of the Commonwealth.

 

[FtWorthCat]

Yes, pretty awesome championship game match up. I wish I could be there.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Cool either way.

Are any of the tv stations carrying the game?

You can subscribe to khsaa tv for a month. Then cancel. I thinks it’s about 12 bucks.

We sat with some Harlan County fans during their game with Warren Central. They were very nice folks.

Really glad they beat Evangel Christian.

Wouldn’t mind if they won.

But I’m also good with Lyon County winning since I live in the western part of the state.

You live in BG right? Always was perplexed whether to call BG (and Glasgow) western or southern KY.

Being a WKU alum I spent many a day in BG. It’s Centeal KY to me. Hoptown is further south than BG so I always had trouble considering BG Southern KY. lol.

But if you’re from Lex/Lou/Cincy area I’d imagine it would be to those folks.

When WKU would struggle in sports we would always self deprecate and say maybe we should change our name to the Southern University of Central Kentucky.

I'm from Glasgow we always called our area ''south-central'' which really means southern KY.

No I get it. And it’s geographically accurate. But I just struggled with thinking about it that way when home is even further south by a few miles. I mean I’m fifteen minutes from the awful orange wasteland.

 

[RunninRichie]

Lol. Our counties are at the bottom of the state. I could walk to the TN/KY line through Scottsville from home. I'm sure the same is true for you.

It would be a walk but I could. Lol.
This is like a good natured “I’m more southern than you”.

Shoo we so southern we own a pig named Charlene. 😂

Anything above Scott County is ohio to me.

lol. Hell some times them Lexingtonians are dang near Yankees.

(Not really. No one get offended. You’re still Kentuckians to me.).

South Central

 

[RunninRichie]

(Not really. No one get offended. You’re still Kentuckians to me.).

The transplants, yeah. I read a stat somehwere that Lexington is like the most popular place for immigrants to move too. But that's basically every city in the south now. If you wanna find the native culture of said area get out in the country side. FWIW Lexington was pretty pro-confederate.

I live east barren, 68/80, towards Edmonton.

I grew up around the Lucas area. Loved going to my great uncle's house and looking at his civil war collection. Complete with pictures of our confederate family members.

Hey now.

Yeah you can alllllways tell the transplants too.

“Yes. Where is Lewis-ville?” Nope. Get out. 😂

 

[bbncal02]

Hey now.

Yeah. We always called like Newport and Campbell County, South Ohio.

 

[UKfan215]

I am really happy it came down to these two teams. It will be awesome seeing these two great teams led by Perry and Noah go at it for all the marbles. If you ask me, both of those guys should be on UK's squad next season alongside Reed Sheppard. These are the kind of dudes that make Kentucky be, you know, Kentucky. A team built with veteran, diehard, bleed blue kids with a sprinkling of elite high school level talent and transfers is the formula for success, not this shit that Cal does.

 

[RunninRichie]

Hey now.

Was joking. But no joke, Kenton, Campbell, and Boone are Ohio. No doubt about it. Louisville is a weird mix of Kentucky and Indiana.

 

[RunninRichie]

Yeah you can alllllways tell the transplants too.

“Yes. Where is Lewis-ville?” Nope. Get out. 😂

Don't forget the Californians. ''Where is over yonder''? ''You're gonna fix what''?

 

[Ugoff]

Yeah. We always called like Newport and Campbell County, South Ohio.

Lot of Buckeyes around Campbell County for sure. Lot of UK fans on the Ohio side too. Went to my aunt's funeral in Southern Ohio last week. Preacher said ....she would always say to me: 'go cats!".

 

[bucsrule8872]

I live in Morgantown. I’ve heard the area referred to as South Central Kentucky a lot, but since Western Kentucky University is 20 or so minutes from my home, I always thought of it as western Kentucky.

When I think Central Kentucky, I think of stuff East of Elizabethtown.

It’s a classic example of perceptual regions in Grography. People perceive things differently based on their point of view.

Just like some people see Kentucky as being “in the South” and others don’t.

I teach Geography, so I am enjoying this conversation.

My high school Pikeville beat Harlan County earlier in the year, 62 to 60 on our home court…. Just one of their four losses this year.!!

 

[Klix]

Graduated from Harlan a couple years ago, super proud of this Harlan team. Trent is great

 

[KYExtemper]

I'm always welcome to fresh Sweet 16 games, especially between public schools.

 

[Washed_Up2]

Played 7th&8th grade basketball for Trent’s father, as well as HS football. He was intense as a coach, I could only imagine how he feels inside trying to decide to be Dad, or, the coach at the same time. Great people and very very proud of this HC team.

Bowling Green is what, 50 mikes from the Tennessee line. That’s Southern In Kentucky no doubt. (and Central)

Lol, some people think Virginia and NC aren't in the south either. I pay no mind to those people. Mostly people who think the south is a monolith and must be like their little area in Alabama, SC, etc to be ''counted''.

 

[bucsrule8872]

Definitely. I was afraid Evangel Christian would win it all with their recruited players.

Love it when public schools win it. Especially County highs.

 

[bucsrule8872]

Morgantown is about the same distance from Indiana as Tennessee, so are we still South Central?

 

[FtWorthCat]

Any chance Harlan County does their layup drills to this song? That would be cool. Seriously though, awesome match up.

 

[katwest]

I would say most Kentuckians would agree to this map as being correct as to where they consider where they live, what do y'all think?

Looks pretty solid. Would make Western Kentucky go a little bit more east though.

 

[TOMCATS1990]

Being from Ashland and now living around Columbus Ohio everyone here thinks Kentucky is the south.

This. And as some one a hour west of BG. That ain’t WKY lol. And some people in Fulton and Paducah don’t consider where Iam at WKy. It’s wild. .

Agreed. Russellville and Logan County is the last WKY that way to me.
