Top preseason players in Class A over the years

as chosen by the 13th Region’s coachesThe All A Classic has been going on since 1990 and I can remember announcing many of

those 13th region games as well as a few from the state tournament when one of our local

teams was able to make it that far. The list below was compiled in the preseason of each of

those years and was based on the votes of the Class A school coaches in the reason. I’m

sure other players stepped up during each of these years and would have made a list of top

players if the vote had been taken at season’s end instead of the beginning. Irregardless of

when the vote was taken, there are some excellent players in this list.

Camp Cal Behind Them UK Enters Part 3

Of 2014-15 Season

Stoops & Assistants Begin Final Phase Of

2015 Recruiting Class

By – Ira D. Combs

Tri State Sports Media Service Inc.

Most college basketball experts will tell you

that each season is divided into (5) mini sea-

sons which consist of ( pre-season practice ,

non conference games , conference regular

season , conference post season , NCAA

tourney ) so this week UK enters the SEC

regular season portion of the schedule .

The Cats are ranked # 1 and considered a

prohibitive favorite to win the SEC regular

season title and quite possibly run the table

at 18 – 0 which if this materializes would put

them at 31 – 0 entering the SEC post season

tourney in Nashville , Tenn. and on schedule

for the ultimate prize of a 40 – 0 undefeated

season and NCAA championship # 9 . So far

there has been only a couple mild bumps in

the road . First was the season ending ACL

injury which sidelined Alex Poythress then

second was not as much a bump in the road

as it was the first physical hard fought chal-

lenge on the road with the possibility of

spoiling the undefeated season . At this point

it appears Poythress injury can be overcome

and the Louisville game while much like a

scrum match has been placed in the W col-

umn and everyone can now move forward .

So the big question during Camp Cal the last

10 days has been now that all the marquee

games (Kansas-Texas-UCLA-North Car-

olina-Louisville) are behind them and the

SEC once again not getting much respect

from the pollsters what can John Calipari do

to keep this team hungry ?

My guess is and what I would recommend is

to use what everybody doesn’t want to talk

about as a motivation factor . Tell the players

you want to do something special be a part

of history then let’s talk about going unde-

feated and keep it in the forefront and fresh

on their minds before they take the court for

every game . Your playing for a program that

deals constantly with being placed in the na-

tional media’s eye , the majority of your ros-

ter has already experienced playing on the

biggest stage . The UK freshman like most

of recent years have already been exposed to

more big time game day atmospheres thru

the all star game circuit than most juniors

and seniors .

I can’t think of anything else that would keep

the players minds from wondering and put-

ting an emphasis on attention to detail more

than constantly reminding them they are

square in the middle of doing something

very special , another words use the pressure

don’t let the pressure consume you .

As far as competition the upcoming (2)

months I’m not buying into what others are

saying especially on the road across the

south . When Kentucky arrives at places like

( Florida – LSU – Arkansas – Georgia ) it’s

very much like when the Alabama football

team rolls into town during the fall , every-

body raises there game a level . More 3’s fall

, more rebounds bounce into the home teams

hands , and the whistle mysteriously turns in

favor of the home team unlike Rupp Arena .

Everything taken into consideration it does

appear that this UK team is special enough

to pull off this 40 – 0 miracle season but it

has to go out every night hungry with a fresh

mind and true sense of purpose because it

will be the world against the blue team , at

least until they run into Duke .

UK Football Hits Final Leg Of

2015 Recruiting Season

Mark Stoops and his assistants are drifting

into the final leg of the 2015 recruiting sea-

son and must close the deal on about 17 ver-

bal commitments from the past year then reel

in a couple recruits who have not yet made

their decision .

The most coveted recruit still on the board at

this point resides just 25 minutes down the

road in Richmond , Ky. , Damien Harris who

many consider the # 1 running back in the

entire country is set to make his decision this

coming saturday and Harris has made it

known that the winner will come from ( UK

– Alabama – Ohio State ) . Many think

Stoops has done his homework and will get

the coveted prize come signing day but until

it happens it’s still pure speculation . Marcus

Lewis a 6’ 2” safety rated #154 in ESPN’s

top 300 from the Washington D.C. area is

still uncommitted and UK is reportedly

squarely in the mix .

Stoops already has verbal commitments

from (2) ESPN top 300 players in safety

Marcus Walker and LB Eli Brown , both

should have an opportunity to play as fresh-

man due to a severe lack of quality depth at

both of their positions . As always there will

be a surprise or two on signing day but if

Stoops can pull in the (4) above mentioned

recruits along with the 17 previous verbal

commitments it should provide UK with an-

other top 20 class like last year and maybe

it’s all time best .

FRANKFORT, Ky. – At about the time when

the winter boat show season starts to crank

up, the annual fishing forecast for Ken-

tucky’s major fisheries arrives as another

welcome diversion from the winter dol-

drums. The forecast is available online at

fw.ky.gov.

The 2015 edition highlights new and ex-

panding fisheries and late winter and early

spring hot spots. A special section makes it

easy to identify where the best fishing can be

expected for each species while the new up-

and-comers section spotlights lakes and

rivers that showed improvement last year.

For instance: the forecast for crappie has im-

proved from good to excellent at Lake Cum-

berland, Cave Run and Fishtrap lakes.

Here are a few other fisheries-related

items to follow in 2015.

Hatchery Creek restoration: Anglers

know the Cumberland River below Wolf

Creek Dam as a world-class trout fishery. An

improved Hatchery Creek will be another

reason to visit the area.

Fed by the outflow from Wolf Creek Na-

tional Fish Hatchery, located at the base of

the dam, the creek is being transformed

through a project undertaken by Kentucky

Fish and Wildlife, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife

Service and the Army Corps of Engineers.

It includes construction of a new channel

to divert the creek away from a heavily-

eroded ravine that deposits sediment into the

Cumberland River below Lake Cumberland.

The new channel will meander for more than

a mile below the upper rip-rap area of the

creek through riffles and pools before emp-

tying into the river. One of the goals is to cre-

ate stream conditions that foster natural

reproduction of trout. “I would say

we’re doing very well and making good

progress,” said Mike Hardin, Assistant Fish-

eries Director for Kentucky Fish and

Wildlife. “Ideally, we’ll finish up most of the

work by spring or summer and hopefully

have enough of a growing season that we can

let some vegetation get established and grow

to stabilize the site before turning water

loose in it.”

Stocking will be dependent upon the nat-

ural migration of trout from the river into the

new creek from the time the project is com-

pleted to the time the new channel opens to

the public.

Anglers can track the progress of the

Hatchery Creek Stream and Wetland

Restoration Project by visiting Kentucky

Fish and Wildlife’s website. On the home-

page, click the “Fish” tab and choose

“Hatchery Creek Stream Project” from the

dropdown menu.

Improving fish habitat at Cave Run: The

project to improve fishing at Cave Run Lake

by increasing the amount of habitat available

for fish will see two more areas completed

by the summer of 2015. Much of the work

will be similar to this past year with cedar

trees, cable spools, stake buckets and other

structure being placed in the water to attract

fish.

“We also have a few new things includ-

ing large concrete culverts and hardwood

stumps,” said Tom Timmermann, northeast-

ern fisheries district biologist with Kentucky

Fish and Wildlife. “We really hope to in-

crease the size of the materials we’re using

now that we know some of the limitations of

the habitat barge and our crews.”

The first phase of the large-scale habitat

project created two nearly mile-long reefs

from Stoney Cove near the dam to Adam’s

Point and in the Clay Lick area in 2014.

Scott’s Creek, Warix Run and Zilpo Flats

are potential sites for the 2015 work, which

will improve another roughly two miles of

shoreline. Project leaders will take angler

preference into consideration before making

a final decision.

More information about the Cave Run

Lake habitat project, including a map that in-

cludes GPS coordinates for fish attracting

structures, is available on the Kentucky Fish

and Wildlife website.

New mentoring program: Learning to

fish can be an intimidating and frustrating

experience when you have little or no expe-

rience, and no one to coach you along. A new

mentoring program developed by Kentucky

Fish and Wildlife will strive to help acceler-

ate the learning curve.

The Angler’s Legacy program is slated

to launch this spring and will be geared to-

ward people ages 16 and older with limited

or no previous fishing experience. Skill-

building courses will range from basic to

complex. Information about the program will

be available online at fw.ky.gov.

“Our hope is that those who participate will

gain the technical skills and confidence to

adopt a lifelong fishing tradition,” said John

Gutzeit, Aquatics Education Administrator

for Kentucky Fish and Wildlife.

In the winter, one of the most comfort-

ing experiences after coming in from the

water or woods, is to warm by a

hot fire. Even in survival situations

a fire is said to not only provide

warmth but to give a sense of com-

fort. Over the years I have noticed

how watching a campfire mesmer-

izes those who sit around it. It has

a unique ability to draw individuals

to its stage and keep them there.

What has recently grabbed my at-

tention is how a stack of logs can be reduced

to such a small pile of ashes. It takes half of

a wall to hold the wood and only a bucket to

hold the ashes. I pondered that thought the

other day as I shoveled the remains of my

wood. Then I began to put the process in re-

verse. I imagined how my pile of ashes could

be turned into various forms of life. This

after all is the idea of macroevolution. It is

that all life forms evolved from the smallest

matter. The crux of the problem however, is

that this belief also affirms that this smallest

amount of matter accumulated from nothing.

This seems impossible unless you redefine

what “nothing” really means. What our athe-

istic friends are now saying is that nothing

really means something. In fact they will tell

you they have actually created something

from nothing. And while the very

statement is suspect, they forget it

is “they” who have done it. That is,

there was a “they” who started a

process. What most Christians be-

lieve however is that God created

out of nothing. He was the “they”

who started the process and He lit-

erally created from “no-thing.”

When the Hubble space tele-

scope showed that Einstein’s theory of rela-

tivity was correct, Einstein and everyone

then knew that time, space, and matter had a

beginning. And if time, space, and matter

had a beginning, then something outside of

time, space, and matter had to start the

process. This was a perfect place to recog-

nize God as the instigator of this wonderful

universe – the One who is outside time,

space, and matter. This would be too easy

however. Evidently it takes more faith to be-

lieve that God created the universe out of

nothing than to believe that nothing created

the universe out of nothing. I guess I just

don’t have enough faith to be an atheist.

LMU men’s basketball started the new year exactly the way they ended the old one by pick-

ing up another win. With the victory they improve to 13-0 on the 2014-15 season. Above,

Keenan Peterson (white uniform) had seven points and eight rebounds as the Railsplitters

knocked off Anderson 73-54. LMU took control of the game with a 25-8 run to close out

the first half with a double figure lead. Luquon Choice led the Railsplitters in scoring with

20. Lorenza Ross had a double-double with 14 points and 14 assists. His assist total sets a

new single game mark for LMU men’s basketball. Pinnacle Photo / Ray Welch
