Final from Boyd County Middle School.

I caught a little of the game on a live stream while I was at another district tournament and I believe the announcer said Ashland had eleven 3 pointers in the first half. I don’t know how many they ended up with but I hope they’ve got their shooting zoned in for the rest of the year. Toward the end of the season they kind of went into a slump in their perimeter shooting.

The Daily Independent credited Ashland Blazer with 13 three pointers for the game. The article said that the starters were taken out after three quarters with Ashland leading 86-40 on 34-48 shooting. The article reported that Porter went 12-15 with 31 points, Villars went 8-11 with 21 points, Sellars 6 for 6 with 12 points and Bradley 3-3 with 8 points, Hudson had 9 points before they were all taken out after the third quarter.

I really hope Ashland makes it to Rupp so I can see them play.

Porter finished with 31 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists. He's eventually going to land that tripple double if he keeps rebounding the way he has been.

 

As far as his numbers go we all knew he can put up points, particularly when he drives to the basket or has an open look at a set shot. He also may be the best passer I've ever seen (in person) as a high school freshman so the assists make sense as well. The way he rebounds though is what is mind blowing, given his size. At one point he led the team in rebounds this season, as far as I know he still does.

 

His size has been questioned as a potential liability at the next level but with his athleticism, court vision and general basketball IQ his lack of height doesn't seem to be as big of an issue as most would expect.

He almost had a quad dbl early in the season

I remember that, forget who it was against.

Pretty sure it was Lewis co.
