Every head coach must accept some responsibility for losses on the court but I can promise you the team was well aware of the capabilities of West Carter. Morgan's staff is excellent at game prep and scouting. As I said before, this team was not overlooking West at all. I believe they felt a huge amount of pressure and played accordingly. West felt absolutely no pressure to win and was loose and played fearless ball because of it. We were up five with 2:00 to go and poor quick shots in addition to a couple of costly turnovers caused our demise. The coach caused neither one of these mistakes. As a matter of fact he was pleading, screaming, and or begging from the bench to control the ball and not to force the matter. It was West's night, they earned it and I congratulate them and wish them luck down the road. This doesn't change my opinion of coach Perry in the least. I'm thankful for all he's done in changing the basketball mindset at my school and I'd like to see him there for many years to come. :thumb:

 

I agree!! :thumb:

WTG West

The thing I hate most is the fact that IMO the region has lost its best chance to do well in the sweet 16. Fans from other schools may be tickled that they don't have to possibly face them in the region, but as a 16th region fan, you have to think our best foe hath been slain. :cry:

I am totally shocked by this one.

Congrats to West on a well earned win.

 

NETS, u got class.

 

Good luck to the remaining competitors and whoever represents the 16th in the state deserves our support.

 

Looking to the future, Morgan still has talent coming up thru the ranks. Young, Montgomery, Haney and Henderson all saw quality minutes this year. Also May, Barnett, Harris and Fergueson will be good contributors as well.

 

Good luck to the Cougar seniors in all your endeavors as well as all the other seniors in the region.

Also May, Barnett, Harris and Fergueson will be good contributors as well.

 

Cam Dunn will be the best of the bunch if he gains strength. He's got a pure stroke that doesn't come around often. The weight room should be his best friend this summer.

I haven't seen Jones play, so no I can't really say that.

 

Maybe you should reserve judgment on POY or any other postseason award then...if you haven't seen the region's best, you're not qualified to make a recommendation.

Jones is good, but he is not Owens! Morgan Co. just didn't do what they needed to in order to win the game and as a result they will unfortunately have to set at home. But West is not that good, at least on a consistent basis. They should not have beaten Morgan. I think that West has had their last ambush for this season. The next opponent will be waiting on them!!

 

 

Must be a Boyd County fan. Did you see the WC/ BC game in early December? 4 point game? Jones was the best player on the floor. 26,and 15, on 11/18 from the floor. Owens is a fantastic athlete...but it's the intangibles (basketball IQ) that guys like Vanhoose, McDavid, McGowan and Jones have that make players complete.

Obviously not...22-3 on your home floor? Against 10-15, losers of 9-11? Perry insisted on playing straight man all night, and ANYBODY that does that against WC in this region is gonna give up 30 to Jones. If you don't believe me, ask Bryan Station.

It worked ok earlier when we won by 14 on West's homecourt. Jones scored 27 last night but it wasn't because of bad defense. He hit tough shots and played big. The last shot was a falling down one hander over 6'6" McCowan. Congrats to him on that but our offense was the problem last night. Forced shots and key turnovers were the killer. West didn't turn it over (2 all night) and hit all the big shots when they needed them.

Wow, I'm late getting this news. It makes me feel like I've been living in a cave. The region is really up for grabs now. But, I have to agree with Spindoc.

Our region may not now be as well represented in Rupp.

What Region winner does the 16th face? Has that been determined yet?

Region 16 vs. Region 1 in the very first game.
