Jacob Conway of Lincoln County is averaging 20 points and 9 rebounds per game. He is shooting 49% from the floor and 82% from the FT line.

 

Jeremiah Bell of Boyle County is averaging 19 points, 6 rebounds and I'm guessing around 6 assists per game and shooting around 54% from the floor.

 

Hagen Tyler of Boyle County is averaging a little over 21 points, 7 rebounds, shooting 53% from the floor and 43% from the three point line.

 

Colton Elkins of Boyle County is averaging about 9 points, 6 rebounds and 6 blocks per game and shooting 57% from the floor.

 

 

Throw all of the stats out of the window this game. This is a hotly contested rivalry that will have a playoff type atmosphere at Lincoln County this Friday. If you are in the CKY area and love 12th Region basketball this is THE GAME to be at this Friday night. I guarantee it will be fun.

 

 

I'll take my Rebels by 6 points in a game that is close the whole game and decided by some free throws late in the game.

Boyle by 4.

I'm guessing the winner doesn't score more than 50 points in the game.

I always say the first one to 50 wins in this game but this time I think it will be first one to 60 wins this game. I expect more scoring in this series this year. Hopefully we can control the tempo. We can't let Timmy Taylor dictate how this game will be played.

Not to mention that Hagen, Timmy and Jacob spent all spring and summer traveling and playing together and Colton was with them in July. Will be a lot of fun Friday night.

I'm looking forward to this one as much as any high school game this season. I think I have the student sections riled up and ready for craziness. The gym will likely be packed. Two really good teams.

 

Friday night is going to be a fun night.

This game is going to a dandy and I will have to go with the REBELS by 5. With the crowd that will be expected they might want to move this game to Rupp.:dancingpa

This is a great game for Boyle co. no matter the outcome. Playing them on Lincolns floor is huge.

Ill take Lincoln by 6 at home, great atmosphere expected friday night!

Boyle by 11

Boyle by 3.

I have to go with Boyle by 9. Boyle has to guard the 3 and Lincoln will have to make it. The reason being"Colton Elkins" will send it the other way if they come into the paint.I'm fired up for this game already!!

If Elkins stays out of foul trouble I think BC wins by 4. I think I'm going to have to make the trip to Lincoln for this one.
