I don't think anyone "hates" Owens. I just think that fans in this area are "suspicious" of those whom they deem as "imports". If you will remember, Coach Breeden was publicly vocal as to his feelings of Frank Lee being at Boyd County. And, as we all know, there are other "high profile" examples of unhappy opponents that could be cited. Of course, the level of discontent depends on whose eyes are focusing on the "import"- is he your questionable import" or is he our new, but welcome, "student-athlete".

One thing I noticed about the game was #3 for BC. I think his name is Branham, he played really tough D on Matt Thomas. He was relentless the whole night, I was pretty impressed. I dont think he did much offensively, but his D was top notch.

If this is Casey Branham (and I think it is), then he is an excellent kid. I've known his parents for a long time (longer than any of us would care to admit), and they are absolutely first class people. I'm sure Casey has grown into an excellent young man.

Don't really understand you use of the word "import"! These kids have to graduate the program at Ramey before they can even attend public school again, and it isn't easy. They have to work their butts off and go through lots of training to reenter public schools. So why don't you tell me how many kids would do that just to go to Boyd Co and play sports!! Come on and get real, comments like yours are lame!!

Boy, kinglion, I'm actually on your side. I am merely presenting an argument that has been used by others for several years. As a supporter of Rose Hill, I am in the same boat as are you as a Boyd County supporter. I used the word "import" to be kind. Breeden inferred much worse. As to Owens, some have inferred much worse. When Rose Hill had its two good years, Mayo, Dawson, and the others were, and still are, called much worse than "imports". I believe the "R" word was one of the more friendly terms.

 

Don't fuss at me. I'm on your side. Use your indignation on those who have earned it.

Scooterbob, Not many schools don't or haven't had an "import" at some point or another! So who really cares. I never did join the anti-Rose Hill group when they had Mayo and Walker and others. In fact I always enjoyed watching them play. By the way, and where are those "others" now? You don't hear any complaints from other schools now about Rose Hill do you? Most schools will take whatever players they can get and why blame them!

 

.... By the way, Graybeard - I couldn't help but notice that you trimmed your beard the other day, but it's now back to full length. Are you using extensions in that beard? ...

Frances, my dear, I’m glad that you noticed. But, I like this new photo better.

 

As to your question – if you sleep with your whiskers out of the covers, the cold air makes them grow faster. I learned that trick from Kris Kringle (in a Miracle on 34th Street).

Thanks homey...

I agree that as a balanced team – with everyone contributing, they look much, much better. This was an important win for the team's confidence. If they can keep playing like this they could make an impact in the tournaments.
