I don't think I would call it an upset. Congrats to Elliott Co. and good luck the rest of the tournament.

Congrats to The Ashland Tomcats on a nice season and To Elliott County on the Huge win.:thumb:

"Mercifully, this season has come to an end." Pretty much sums it all up. An incredably disappointing season for Ashland. We could be seeing Elliott Co. vs. Fairview for the 16 Region Championship. Almost unbelieveable.

I don't think I would call it an upset. Congrats to Elliott Co. and good luck the rest of the tournament.

I couldn't agree more!:dancingpa

Maybe the Lions will get some respect now!!!

They're celebrating in Sandy Hook tonight!!!!

I would considering Ashland handled them by 9 earlier and this is the first time that Elliott has ever beat Ashland.

I believe that despite the earlier loss to the Tomcats, that the Lions have the better team this year.

Ferguson was huge tonight for the Lions. 22 of his 32 in the second half. A great kid, and a terrific ballplayer. :thumb:

With all due respect to Coach Flynn, and I very much appriciate all of his services and time put in at Ashland, I do believe it may be right to start considering that Ashland and Coach Flynn go their seperate ways. Ashland's talent level isn't the same as it once was, and I think Coach Flynn is more accustomed to working with great talent and coaching them to win. He is better off at a Lexington Catholic or Scott Co., where he has a wide talent pool to insert players effectively into his system. What I think Ashland needs now, is someone who can groom players and work to get the absolute best out of them. That is what Morgan Co., Elliott Co., Fairview, and the other teams in the region have done. They get the best they can out of the talent they have. There is no doubt in my mind that Ashland can not say they did the best they could this year with the talent they had. It's time to get a coach who can win with a system revolving around what his players bring to the table, not one where they are haphazardly thrown into a designed scheme. Maybe we need more of a motivator and less of a strict basketball disciplinarian. Just my opinions, take them for what you will. Mike Flynn is a great basketball coach, and his record proves that. But the kids that accumulated that record aren't around today. I don't think he is the type of coach who can win with what he has, he has to have great talent, and I don't think Flynn can win anymore at Ashland. It's time to move on.

 

Really, what I am trying to say is: Does Leon Hart know anything about basketball?

I second the motion! Leon Hart for Basketball Coach!!!!

I had picked Ashland to win the region, wrong ! Congrats to Elliot County and good luck the rest of the way - would love to see you make it to Rupp!!!

Well it doesn't look to get any better next year for Ashland. They will have a very tough time if they play the same schedule again.

I agree. I think iv'e already expressed my viewpoints on Flynn in the "Ashland Basketball" thread.

This season was a huge failure. We had 4 starters and 5 of our top 6 returning this year as well as newcomer Brandon Williams from a team that went to the regional semi-finals last year and we follow up with a losing season and a loss in the first round of the regional tournament.
