<p>We’re cruising down the stretch towards the postseason and I wanted to bring back a fun article idea from a couple of years ago. Most basketball fans are familiar with the NBA league pass where you can watch any NBA game regardless of where you live. Here’s a rankings of the most fun to watch Kentucky high school teams in my opinion.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>North Laurel - </strong>They are the highest scoring team we have seen in Kentucky in a long time and between <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="932765" first="Reed" last="Sheppard"] and [player_tooltip player_id="932771" first="Ryan" last="Davidson"]</strong> dunking and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1133847" first="Clay" last="Sizemore"]</strong> hitting 5 or more threes per night, these Jags play a very exciting brand of basketball and are my top choice if KHSAA League Pass is a thing.</li>
<li><strong style="font-size: 1rem;">Lexington Catholic - </strong><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Catholic was already fun to watch with their 5 out offense and pressing defense but with the arrival of </span><strong style="font-size: 1rem;">[player_tooltip player_id="1118821" first="John" last="McCrear"]</strong><span style="font-size: 1rem;"> last month, they’re now playing above the rim more consistently and have two guys (with </span><strong style="font-size: 1rem;">[player_tooltip player_id="1088851" first="Reece" last="Potter"]</strong><span style="font-size: 1rem;">) who are rejecting shots at about 12-15 blocks per game. Not to mention </span><strong style="font-size: 1rem;">[player_tooltip player_id="604116" first="Ben" last="Johnson"]</strong><span style="font-size: 1rem;"> can go for 40 on any given night. </span></li>
<li><strong style="font-size: 1rem;">Male - </strong><span style="font-size: 1rem;">As if </span><strong style="font-size: 1rem;">[player_tooltip player_id="932764" first="Kaleb" last="Glenn"] </strong><span style="font-size: 1rem;">alone wasn’t worth watching, </span><strong style="font-size: 1rem;">[player_tooltip player_id="923001" first="Cam" last="Pope"]</strong><span style="font-size: 1rem;"> can become the human torch from outside at any time and the Sophomore duo of </span><strong style="font-size: 1rem;">[player_tooltip player_id="1022262" first="Kyran" last="Tilley"] and [player_tooltip player_id="1065569" first="Meechie" last="White"] </strong><span style="font-size: 1rem;">are two of the highest upside guards in Louisville in the Sophomore class. Coach Haworth likes to press and run and that makes a great viewing experience.</span></li>
<li><strong style="font-size: 1rem;">Ballard - </strong><span style="font-size: 1rem;">With </span><strong style="font-size: 1rem;">[player_tooltip player_id="932766" first="Gabe" last="Sisk"]</strong><span style="font-size: 1rem;"> running the wing and </span><strong style="font-size: 1rem;">[player_tooltip player_id="926882" first="Maker" last="Bar"]</strong><span style="font-size: 1rem;"> dunking everything he can get his hands on, Coach Renner has a very exciting brand of basketball. </span><strong style="font-size: 1rem;">Keno Hayden, Chaunte Marrero and [player_tooltip player_id="801616" first="DJ" last="Tilford"] </strong><span style="font-size: 1rem;">are all double figure scorers and there is a long tradition of cutting nets at Ballard every year. If you have a chance, check out these Bruins.</span></li>
<li><strong>George Rogers Clark - </strong>Coach Cook has taken the NBA style of play and applied it to high school. The Cards are shooting a lot of 3s and layups and playing the analytics game. They’ve struggled a little lately but once <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="692930" first="Jerone" last="Morton"] </strong>gets back healthy to go with <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="923008" first="Jared" last="Wellman"], Trent Edwrards and [player_tooltip player_id="926892" first="Aden" last="Slone"]</strong>, they’ll be back to the high flying offense they were in December.</li>
