“Nobody respects Lexington Catholic basketball more than I do.”
March 1, 2013
“This started in ’98, the year we won the state championship. We beat Lexington Catholic in the semifinals and they were ranked like No. 3 or 4 in the country. It’s a rivalry out of respect. Because we play hard. But if there’s one team that plays just as hard as we do, it’s Lexington Catholic. It’s one of the biggest rivalries in the state of Kentucky and it’s the biggest rivalry in central Kentucky. Our kids have fun with it. Sometimes it transcends religious etiquette. But they get their rubs in on us, too. They make fun of us for being a country school; we make fun of them for being preppy. But it is a great rivalry. Nobody respects Lexington Catholic basketball more than I do.” – Scott County head coach Billy Hicks
“A lot of people didn’t like us.”
January 31, 2013
“A lot of people didn’t like us — me, Chad and Austin because we transferred in there. And other schools didn’t like us because they thought Coach Hicks recruits. But that’s what brought us together. It brought us closer together. We only had each other.” – Scott County player Dakotah Euton
“I just wanted to get there and win.”

“That’s the University of Kentucky. That’s Rupp Arena. And to play there — when you’re growing up, that’s all you think about. I wasn’t worried about going to college. I just wanted to win a state championship. I could care less about college. I just wanted to get there and win. That’s it.” – Scott County player Will Schu
“I love No. 14. It’s a part of me.”

“My favorite number growing up was No. 3 because Allen Iverson was my favorite player. But I kind of grew out of that and started becoming my own person. I love No. 14. It’s a part of me. It’s a great number. It’s unique. Not a lot of people have it — in the NBA, in college, period. It’s a unique number. And pretty much every great player that comes out of Scott County wears No. 14.” – Scott County player Ge’Lawn Guyn
“We prayed that the Lord would help me.”
January 25, 2013
“We prayed that the Lord would help me. Not for a win. But just that the Lord would help me be a light for him. And we did that as a family. My dad, as far as basketball goes, he did everything for me. I’m so grateful I had a father who really pushed me to my limits and didn’t just pat me on my back and always tell me I did a good job. He would get on me and he would push me to get better and better. That didn’t just help me on the court. It helped me off the court and made me the man I am today. It’s made me a tough human being. I know I’m not going to be handed anything. I’ve got to work as hard as I can for things.” – Scott County player Dakotah Euton
