No, not at all. Keep playing to win no matter what and never give up but it is how you play. Rose Hill garnered such a big lead because of the unwise choice of trying to press Kala Faulkner of Rose Hill, this led to wide open layups for Rose Hill. After the game was decided you would think you would quit pressing if you are getting waxed in that particular defense, they didnt. So Rose Hill's starters went back into the game and it was laupville all over again. West would have been better off in a 3/2 or something. No one in the state could press Kala Faulkner that year and not pay for it.

You are correct and there was a reason behind that, they kept trying to press the younger ones after the starters went out of the game so the starters we re-inserted. West stayed in the press and it was layup city. You seem to be a Rose Hill Historian, so what are the other games that they ran the score up?

P.E. wanted to run the score up on every team but the assistant coach at the time prevented it.

Lawerence County and Yes.

He actually thought about giving the coach the game ball after it was over... It is somewhat of an unspoken courtesy or code that when the losing coach pulls his starters after trailing by 25 points that the winning coach usually does the same, this was not the case. His starters trapped and pressed a 6th grader, 3 seventh graders and 1 eigth grader....It was a great display of sportsmanship and class. Hats off to the former alumni.

Congrats to Elliot and Coach Romer and Cantrell and to all the girls from the different teams that made the all tourney team.

Was Leslie Eagle playing in this game?

For basketball playing you are correct but I was posting about athletes/basketball players. For example Larry Bird was not a better athlete than a Dominque Wilkins but he sure was a better basketball player.

Good points.

Also, pound for pound and inch for inch one would have to mention Kala Faulkner. She went to State in 3 different sports and also was a very good soccer player.

You are correct, I meant the Ashland Area.

Mykal Farris (9th) and Madison Jones (8th) of Ashland

Since the title of the this thread is greatest athlete/basketball, I will suggest some of the past first. 1975-1980 Boyd County's Vanessa Terry and Russell's Regina Carrol 1980-1985 Rowan's Julie Magrane and Fairview's Toni Wright 1985-1990 Ashland's Angie Johnson (I think she played during this time) 1990-2000 Boyd's Laura Luken comes to mind, excelled in both Softball and Basketball 2000-Present No one comes close to Russell's Chinwe Okoro and Rose Hill's Emily Queen Emily Queen is the all time leading scorer and rebounder in both girls and boys in 16th regional history... Both Okoro and Queen are both 6'1 very athletic and especially Queen did things at that size that only guards are supposed to do. No offense to any other girl in the region but to think that anyone else is a better athlete/basketball player than Chinwe is sadly mistaken, maybe the best physical specimen of any girl player to come through this area, all others fade in comparison to her and Queen.

Doesn't surprise me with that last name, that area has produced many good players with the "Combs" name.

Was this game played at Ashland?
