Worrying whether Mark Pope can recruit at an “elite”level is a little disingenuous considering UK had that for 15 years + fans got tired of seeing elite talent go 1-n-done after crashing out of the postseason. And what kind of teams beat UK the last 5 years? 🤔. So, let’s see

- FINAL. @FDouglassFB 36, Scott Co 0 in a shocking result atop Class 5A. @DaneKey12 had a @SportsCenter worthy catch at the start.
00:00 - This is also a reminder that all the negative reaction on this app was not a reflection of the genuine excitement UK fans have for something new. This app is not real life.
- LYON KINGS! Lyon Co. @lyon_basketball 67, Harlan Co. 58. Mr. Basketball @Travis_Perry11 with 27 pts, @JackReddick5 16, @BradyShoulders 15 with the dunk to cap it for the school’s first state title. 2024 Boys’ #KHSAASweet16
00:00 - Watching UK opponents run their stuff and get easy buckets while the Cats continually display 30 seconds of disjointed nonsense that leads to a miss is getting old
- DUNK ALERT 🚨. @Reed_Sheppard takes flight and sends a rush through the crowd. Basket made it 37-28 @NorthLaurelBB under a 30 seconds 2Q in the #wgmholidayclassic. Crowd still buzzing at half
00:00 - This happened earlier. It was awesome, but also against the rules. Oh well
00:00 - For those discovering women’s volleyball: Welcome! It’s been awesome the whole time
- CHAMPIONS! @vincedawson24 calls game with a stone-cold 3 at the buzzer for No. 1 Great Crossing @GCwarhawksbball. He’d tied it up just moments before. Holy cow. Boys 11th Region 🏀 Championship
00:00 - You know what you missed about Kentucky basketball? Grit. Plain and simple.
- REGION CHAMPS! For the first time since the Defenders beat Trinity in 1999, Bryan Station @bryanstationfb has toppled a giant again and claimed their first region title in more than 2 decades. Station 10, Trinity 7. Wow
00:00 - Beshear says he won't overturn KHSAA decision
- Kentucky high school basketball doesn't have classes separating its smallest schools from its biggest or privates from its publics. Some folks don't like that. But if it did, you'd never get this.
