Bball Legend Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Final from Sandy Hook. Wolfe county slowed the game down. Wolfe trailed 18-12 at the half and just kept hanging around. Wolfe now moves to 4-18. Elliott county falls to 17-6. Major upset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpapa Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Huge upset! Wolfe has now defeated 6-14 Breathitt, 12-13 Jackson City, 1-21 Lee County and 17-6 Elliott County this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bball Legend Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Elliott played bad but give Wolfe county credit. They did what they had to do to pull the upset. That Breathitt vs Jackson City game should be a good 1st round district game. I think Breathitt wins and moves on to play Wolfe in the finals.

Wireman Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 The ghost of James Naismith will probably visit the Wolfe County coach tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECMason Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Elliott played without it's head coach tonight who had a family emergency. Boys just didn't seem to have the energy they usually do. Hats off to Wolf County. They really slowed Elliott down and played great defense. They played their hearts out and though I'm an Elliott fan it was uplifting seeing Wolfs bench cheer after very basket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliott just didn't knock down the shots they usually do and really I thought didn't take advantage of their size. This was one of those games where if they play 10 times the Lions win 9 of them.

ECMason Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Yes everything is well for Coach Adkins. Yeah Elliott just seemed gassed tonight and often stood around with the ball like they wernt sure what to do. And your right our shooters just couldn't get rolling. I owe that to the great defense I thought Wolf played. They didn't give our boys any easy shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine18 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Here is another example of coaching vs talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bball Legend Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Here is another example of coaching vs talent. One thing Robert Scott Creech has never been accused of is being a great coach. Elliott county played terrible. Doesn't take coaching to know when you can't run with a far superior team, then you will have to take the air out of the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you give some of the credit to Coach Creech or are Elliott Co 2 assistant last night just horrible. Looks like he should get the nod for being able to recognize his talents and putting together a game plan and winning. Thats more than some of the area teams in the 16th have been able to do up till this point. I vote for Robert Scott Creech! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECMason Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Yes it's a great debate. Myself, I choose talent over coaching any day. However I do think when someone else is at the helm from what a team is used to, it brings about a different dynamic from the team. Motivation, consistency, having that one person you depend on every game for an answer in the heat if the game means a lot. In no way whatsoever am I saying that Coach Adkins absence was the reason Elliott lost; Wolf played a great game and Coach Creach was on top of every play. I'm just saying in general having someone different on the bench can play games with a persons mind and emotions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have all the talent in the world , but if you don't have a coach who knows how to use it , it doesn't matter. Sure talent will win some game`s, but wont get you all the way.
