I have always said that no girls team would ever beat a boys team in any sport,but this isn't the case this time. This is an exception and it's a combination of the Central girls being very good,and the LPD being very weak on the boys side. The LPD has never been known as a juggernaut in boys b-ball,but this year it is the weakest that you will ever see. Any time,any year,I would agree with you Biggin' but not this year. I hate it,but it's just a fact ); Folks get after me when I say things like that,but at some point you have to be a realist. I would be the same way if I were a fan of a Cumberland Distric school and it was football season. The kids play hard,and I respect them for it,but we are just not a hotbed of basketball talent here in our area.

I dont think this area is a hotbed for anything for that matter.

So how in the world is a girl going to get off a shot against someone that can jump and nearly touch the top of the backboard? How is a girl going to use her fundamentals when there are guys out there that can run 4.4-4.6 to beat them down the court? Central's girls have a great team, but John Battle did too when they ran 5 guard sets last year and Central couldn't even match up with them.

No, they wouldn't. It would not even be close. The size, strength, athleticism, difference dooms any girls team. Ill use Union. Tyler Vernon is 6'6; how is Central gonna stop him? How are any of those girls gonna stop anybody on the block?

Every LPD boys team would beat the JJK girls by 20 and make it look easy. Theres a reason girls play against girls and boys play against boys.

Ervinton Boys? haha ok maybe that is an outlier

Regardless Central girls are good, yes ,but they could not stay on the court with the undefeated team in 2000 (i think). Collier, Arney, and the Helton Twins alone was unbelievable.
