Congrats! To Williamsburg!

Banner year for Williamsburg athletics so far!

Any crowd fights?

No arena does a good job of separating the fans just in its natural lay out.

Sic 'em, Williamsburg! What a year. Championship game in the Single A football playoffs. Now to the basketball state tournament for the first time ever. I love small school success stories.

I guess the North Laurel/Clay Co fan fight was a product of over crowding :lol2:

When'd that happen? I'd believe it. I just hadn't heard of any recent ones.

Feel bad for Clay County, but congratulations to Williamsburg.

 

Clay County was down 19 with around 4:30 to go. They cut that to 6 with 2:00 left.

 

Tip your hat to Williamsburg. They made their shots, they did work on the boards, and they got rattled by the comeback but still stayed composed enough to win by hitting their free throws down the stretch. Lots of other teams would have folded.

 

Hate it as a Clay County fan and hate it for our kids, but that's how it goes sometimes. You can't win them all.

Farmer is Clay's biggest asset and biggest liability all wrapped up into one. He can flat shoot it, but frankly did not hustle tonight.

Have to keep in mind that with Clay County, it's been an uphill battle and the tourney was filled with land mines. The draw was as bad as you could have made it for them. In four days, they've had battles with Corbin, Knox Central, and then a Williamsburg team who played their opener two nights earlier (weather pushed the last part of the first round back a day). They've got a bit of a haul to the Arena too. The drive, going to school, all that, it factors in.

 

I know that at least one of the Clay County kids was playing through a LOT of pain but didn't say anything about it on here because, as a CC fan, why would I?

 

It wasn't Farmer (at least that I know of), but it's tough to be too hard on him. Without him making some big shots in plenty of games, they might not have been playing tonight. He was money at the line late against both Corbin and Knox Central. Some big late 3's too, including one tonight. I do think it's fair to say he could improve defensively, but there's no way you don't play him, IMO.

 

Tonight is Williamsburg's night and they should enjoy it though.

First regional title since 1946. Congratulations to Williamsburg. What a great athletic season they are having!

Congrats to Williamsburg, clay had a ton of open shots that just did not go down. The Burg dominated the boards and that is where the game was won. I haven't missed but 1 Game in 2 years and what you saw out of Farmer tonight is more than you usually get on the defensive end. But he can flat shoot it. He and Blake Smith tried to will the tigers to victory but the hole was just to big. These was the worst 3 games I have seen them play all year. But on a positive note Clay only loses House next year and returns 2 of the top 4 players in the region. Smith is a legitimate D1 prospect and Farmer is as good as anyone on the offensive end. They should be even better if they can develop an inside post player. The refs in this tournament hurt clay as well not saying that they where bad but there style of calling a game went against every thing clay does well. Good luck to the burg but in all honesty I believe they will get run out of the gym .
