ESPN coming to Hoop Fest ...

Marshall County's Hoop Fest founder Steve Woodward is still putting together match ups for the 2008 edition. At the moment, it appears that ESPN will televise a Thursday night game between Oak Hill Academy and Texas power Duncanville, both of which figure to be ranked in the national top 10 next season.

Woodward expects two other boys' games to flank the Oak Hill-Duncanville match up, both Kentucky-Illinois match ups. Calloway County will play Harrisburg with Graves County meeting Massac County.

Scott County will be in demand for next season with two high-profile transfers, Kentucky commitment Dakotah Euton and his former Rose Hill Christian teammate Chad Jackson. Scott is slated to meet Duncanville in the Saturday night session. Other potential Saturday night match ups: Oak Hill vs. Chicago Simeon and Chicago Whitney Young against St. Benedict's Prep of Newark, N.J., the same club that beat Oak Hill in an ESPN-broadcast game at Marshall last December.
