Cooper 47 Ryle 44 (33rd District Semi-Finals)

[NKYCoach859]

Jennings hits a 3 with 2 seconds left to give the Jags the win! Great game by both teams! It was a battle.

 

Cooper advances to play Conner in the championship game Friday night at 7:00 PM.

Nice to see Sully and the Jags make the regional.

 

Congrats to Ryle on judging the Jags to the limit.

Congrats to the Raiders doubling their win total from last year with 12 wins despite losing their best player in 10 years to graduation and 2 starters that switched schools. Injuries down the stretch hurt them or things may have been better. Congrats to Anthony Caggiano on his All Region selection! Good building blocks for Coach Belcher.

I would like to see the Raiders have a harder schedule next year to prepare them. Of the Raiders 12 wins, they only beat three 9th region teams. Ryle should be even better next season. I’d would say they are early favorites for the 33rd district next season in my opinion.

Saw the video of Jennings' winning bucket (happy for that young man and his wonderful parents), and man, was Keaton Belcher ever begging for a travel in the background as the crowd erupted.

It was a travel...Centers dragged his pivot foot right in front of a ref and 1000 fans before kicking it to Jennings.

You definitely could’ve called the push or the travel or u swallow the whistle and let the boys decide the game!!

Ryle fans see travel and Jags fans see push!!

[Believe It]

You are right....Good luck to the Jags the rest of the way..great last second shot by the big guy. He will remember that the rest of his life!

Hard to dismiss Cooper!

You know who didn't travel, 3-4 Ryle players standing there not doing anything on defense. Easy rotations and simple defensive effort missed. Cooper ran a pick, not even a pick & roll, and Ryle couldn't defend it. But its easier for a coach to blame a ref instead of his discipline. Its easier for the Ryle parents to blame someone besides their players.

[Believe It]

Did not see that at all. Jennings set a pick for Centers at top of key...Hill was guarding Jennings and picked up Centers..King was guarding Centers and, after fighting through screen doubled Centers with Hill..which he should have. Centers without a doubt dragged his pivot foot...Cooper Fan says he was pushed. Either way there was no call and he found Jennings at top of key and the kid drained a big shot..a shot Ryle was giving him..and he was not taking..for the entire 2nd half. Credit to him. No need to blame Ryle coach, Ryle players, or Ryle parents...take your win. Good luck going forward.

All this talk about this or that is taking away from a great game. Both teams played hard left it all on the court. Centers played a great game, Jennings made a shot he’ll remember forever.

[Believe It]

Agree.
