PS - On a side note, the broadcast of the basketball game was vastly superior to the football games. It would appear that the play by play guy is getting the hang of it. Not bad at all...

Well it was close, but I guess that this settles it! Boyd beats Russell 2X in one season and Russell's 7 game win streak is snapped by GC with another loss to BC! Russell can beat teams on a given night, but they haven't convinced me they deserve to be ranked above Boyd!

This region is as wide open as I've ever seen it...no one team you can point at and say "There's your winner."

Heck, there's probably only two or three that you can look at and say "They don't really have much of a chance".

 

Wide open is right.

Hey Shooterx3 , I'm right AGAIN!!!! I can't lie with kasey Clark I would have picked Russell, but without him I feel like Boyd Co. had the advantage! Anyway sound like Russell played well and they had a chance that is all you can hope for at the end! Congratulations to Coach Pratt and the Lions on beating a good Russell team twice!!

Good win for the lions against a quality opponent. We had an early 12 pt lead and Russell climbed right back into it. Game went down to the last shot and was a fun game to watch. Owens and Vanhoose both played very well. I still don't understand why Coach Pratt played a zone against them though, esp the way Russell shoots. But oh well we won and that is all that matters, I guess.

Big win for the lions,Boyd up 12 when pressing down 1 when in the

zone.But OH WELL :confused: they won.Owens played well

had some nice passes.

welllllllllllllll, boyd county played pretty good, but the assistant janitor, whose

brother knows the deputy constable on his mothers side, apologized for the ref swallowing his whistle when Owens committed his 5th foul against Gill late

in the game :sssh:

and who is that daggone Shannon guy anyhow? :thumb:

Another nice game for Owens!

:dancingpa

Vanhoose proved he's every bit the player he's hyped to be, and showed last Friday was a circumstance of injury.I've seen pretty much everyone and IMO, He's the best shooter in the region. Owens also showed he is above everyone else also with yet another great performance. ( But he did commit his 5th midway through the 4th and there was no call) Russell missed Kasey's ball-handling and defense. They committed turnovers bringing the ball up and could not get a stop when they needed one, and Owens made them pay with 2 straight 3's late. Russell played well considering the distractions in the past week. Congrats to Boyd, well deserving win.

Good Point Frances, Russell radio is soooooooo much better with Rob Vanhoose on board. He knows the game and knows Dodd's offense well.

Nothing against Vanhoose, but I was actually talking about the other guy - the one that does football. He was significantly better last night, and I just want to give him his due.

 

I don't know if he simply controls his emotions better during basketball, or if he is getting better with practice, but there was no comparison to how he sounded between the two sports.
