Final from the Bracken County Holiday Classic.

 

Kyle Brown with 17 points and 13 boards for the Comets.

 

Tanner Kelsch with 17 and 7 for Augusta.

Camryn Snapp with 14 & 10.

Connor Maddox off the bench with 16.

Bach with 15.

Impressed with how Augusta performed when Bach was saddled with foul trouble, which happened twice.

 

In the 1st quarter, Bach picked up #2 with Augusta leading 11-8. Panthers outscored West 5-1 for the rest of the quarter to go up 16-9. Augusta then went on an 8-2 run to start the 2nd quarter, forcing a Comets timeout with the score 24-11. West battled back & made the score 31-23 at the break.

 

Whatever Coach Jeremy Webb said at halftime worked, as West whittled the Panthers lead to 32-28. Bach responded with one of his vintage "Landmark 3's" as I've come to call them. Basically, this means he shoots it from so far out that I will say he hit it from some well-known landmark in the community where the game is being held (see: McDonald's in the Pendleton County game, Hardee's in the Dixie Heights game at Mason County, & the Dollar General--my personal favorite--in this game). I swear the kid hits at least one of these in every game I watch, which makes me assume he just hits at least one every game. Anyway, the Dollar General 3 gave Augusta some breathing room at 35-28.

 

West battled back again & cut the lead to 37-34. Bach responds with two consecutive scores, though, to extend it to 41-34. Bach picks up #4 with the score 43-37. And what does Augusta do? They score the final 6 points of the 3rd to take a 49-37 lead. Panthers end up holding that lead & winning 76-65.

 

Big tip of the hat to Snapp, Maddox & Kelsch. Those three primarily, in addition to Bach, played very well. Tanner Kelsch, in particular, is one of those guys who just plays the game the way I like to see it played. He's not big, but plays bigger than his size. All-out effort even if he's not shooting well, or having an off night in general. Snapp is young, but very effective out there doing a lot of things. He's good, but will be a dandy.

 

Finally, this game was extra enjoyable because Augusta coach Jason Hinson got T'd up. I've known Jason for a long, long time & he's always been a firecracker. I love when coaches get T'd up, but it's especially fun seeing Hinson get it. :lol:

 

Congrats to the Panthers on a good win! :thumb:

 

Oh...about West Carter...senior Kyle Brown (son of the late Hop Brown) is a heck of a player. And the big 8th grader, Ben Jordan, will be a force once his mind catches up to his body. He had a pretty solid game today.

I've been impressed with our kids getting more and more chemistry on a team that had essentially 2 varsity players back, the increasing basketball IQ of our younger kids, and the general will to find a way to win or at least give ourselves a chance against anyone we play. Some people may be shocked when they win but these kids and coaches expect to win every time they play. A neat trick at a school of 350 or so k-12

Ben Jordan is gonna get his education paid for, and maybe make a living hurling the little white rock. He's a stud on the mound.

Coach Hinson was`nt the one that got T`d up it was another on bench, Coach Hinson has been and is very sick that is why he sat and coached all night.FYI

Dollar General 3??? I was hoping for a more "Old-School" landmark, say Carota's. lol

Augusta breezes to victory; Deming falls to defending champs

Coach Hinson was`nt the one that got T`d up it was another on bench, Coach Hinson has been and is very sick that is why he sat and coached all night.FYI

 

Thanks for the correction! :thumb:

 

I was sitting on the other of the floor & when the ref called the T, Hinson immediately stood up & protested. I just assumed it was him.

 

Talked to him before the game & he looked awful. I knew he'd been sick, but he said he felt worse yesterday. Hope he gets to feeling better.
