Clay's schedule is a little weak. Must be something over there, football team does the same thing.

That's a question for coach Gray to answer. Does it really matter who's in the starting lineup? It's the coaches decision on who starts a game and who comes off the bench...Too many variables involved in the decision for a fan to question who starts...We would have to know each kid personally, attend every practice, know all their tendencies and how they matched up with their teammates offensively as well as defensively. As fans, we have no idea and shouldn't care. Best thing to do is...Next time you see Coach Gray, ask him...He'll give you an answer. If you are insinuating Clay's schedule is "EASY", ask M. Jones about that, 95% of it is his. I guess he figured Clay wasn't exactly loaded for bear this year. We are 10-3 with a win @ Harlan though. :thumb:

 

 

The win at Harlan isn't saying a whole lot because Harlan's 6'7 center went out in the first 2 minutes of the game with a cut that took 9 stitches. He's been averaging like 12 point and 10 to 12 rebounds a game the last 4 or 5 games. That was a huge lost. And the 6'4 Brown kid fouled out early in the fourth.

I see how it is. If anyone but Clay wins at Harlan it's a BIG deal. I understand where you're coming from. A win is a win! If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen...If you want to play the whole game, don't foul out! I don't know who can come up with more excuses, you or Tubby. :banana:

I was just asking a question, and sorry I have never spoken to your Coach so I guess I can not ask him. :confused:

Clay's schedule is a little weak. Must be something over there, football team does the same thing.

 

Let's see here, Clay's football schedule included the likes of Bell, Rockcastle, Madison Southern, Knox Central and Wayne. 60% of the schedule is in one of the toughest Dist's in the state. I suppose if you were scheduling for Clay you would throw in Lex Cath & St. X on the road in place of Wayne and Estill. If the basketball team wanted to travel every game it would be easier to toughen the schedule up, but for some reason most teams within a 100 mile radius are not interested. I bet your team wouldn't come from "over there".

You sound surprised. It was at Powell wasn't it?

Clay Co. plays Harrison this Friday at home--How do these teams compare?

I I don't know who can come up with more excuses, you or Tubby. :banana:

:ylsuper: Sorry had to laugh when I saw this post, especially after listening to Jim Tirey on SportsTalk last night.

That FB district has 7 teams. Their schedule from last year tells me that it was pretty tough. I think Clay is on the rise in football. It would be wild to see them play SL with both teams throwing it all over the field.

It's not a big deal to beat Harlan. They are rated 8th or 9th in the region. So I believe Clay is ranked higher so they should have won. I'm not making any excuses I'm just saying that Clay is not that tough. But everything will be said In March.

You are correct ballaholic...Clay is not real tough yet but they are tougher than Harlan. I was just making a point to some posters that a few weeks ago thought Harlan was the only team that was going to make a run at South and Clay "was not very good" & "have no guard play". Not naming names but they did post in this thread & to them, it must have been a BIG DEAL! I don't want to wish any bad luck to South but I wish they would get upset in the first round of the district so the rest of us could battle it out for the title, over here in Clay we're just not interested in who gets second. :irked:

I for one thought at the beginning of the year there may be a couple of teams make a run at SL. NL, Harlan, Clay, and Barbourville being the main four, but after seeing all of these teams play at least two times some three, there is no way that any of these teams have a chance. That is just the way it is. SL is too big, too deep, too quick. They are very good and well coached. I just do not see anyone in the 13th beating them.
