Good win for Pikeville

Very nice win! Had Pikeville ever beaten ER?? I can't even remember their last 59th district win. I didn't expect Pikeville to get this big of a win this soon. They may be coming on faster than expected.

Congrats to Coach Williams and the team on a Big District win!

This was, in fact, the Panthers' first-ever win over the Warriors.

 

Sentiments of "Hail Pikeville" are indeed merited, especially since the basketball season to date has not been especially kind to anybody who plays home games at T.W. Oliver Memorial Gymnasium, no matter their gender.

 

I already heard from Rick Bentley, who was at the game. The Panthers were 15 of 23 at the free throw line .... oh, did I mention that those numbers happened in the final 2:23 alone? Pikeville was 23 for 32 .. oh, wait. That was just Pikeville's free-throw shooting in the fourth quarter. They were 27-for-42 in the game.

 

It was actually good game planning by Denny Paul May and the East Ridge staff -- Pikeville (barely) has hit 50 percent from the line this year.

Just goes to show how important free throws are.

Obviously it wasn't too good of game planning...They lost

On any other night, it works out. Just not this one.

So Pikeville had 10 free throws in the first 3 quarters and then ER started fouling in the 4th because they were behind?

Other teams can count on the Pikeville paper to give a scouting report on how to beat Pikeville. :lol:

I think that the Warriors fouled the whole game according to the officals. It was like 13 fouls to 3 and then at the end when the game was over they started to even them out. Im not blaming this one on the officals because Pikeville played a great game and played with more intesnsity than I have ever saw from them but the officals sure didn't help any. I thought that they key in this game was some of the horrible shots that E.R. took. Pikeville didn't really take a lot of bad shots but some of the Warriors' shots were questionable especially when they were in the lead.

[Bird Man]

Solid win for Pikeville. It's hard to belive that it's there first ever win against East Ridge. East Ridge is streaky. I saw them play Lawrence Co. earlier in the season and sometimes the Warriors looked like two different teams out there.

 

I also talked to Coach May a little bit the next day, nice guy. Congrats to the Panthers.
