Final.

I didn't stick around to pick up a stat sheet tonight... But I was there long enough to post a few observations:

1. Walls was tough again. Knocked down his open jumpers tonight.

2. Mackey came ready to play. Exploded during the first part of the game with several nice shots.

3. Jimmy Warren and Cameron Hundley matched the physical play of Henry Clay.

4. Jordan Lee had at least 6 offensive tip ins tonight. Henry Clay had a tough time blocking out - especially when they played zone. They do go to the offensive boards HARD!

5. Victor Moses is still a stud - they don't utilize his talents nearly enough.

6. Boyd scored quite a few points but got frustrated and spent a lot of the night mouthing off - he even got an intentional foul for throwing Hundley to the floor.

7. College coaches I saw - Georgetown College and Miami of Ohio were there to watch Walls and Moses; Centre College's football staff was there to watch Jimmy Warren - impressive.

8. None of HC's guards were impressive. Bowman made a few nice moves, but had a tough time shooting and made several turnovers.

9. I thought this game would be much tougher for Scott Co. than it was.

10. Scott Co. still isn't peaking - they got very little out of Portwood tonight. If they ever get clicking on all cylinders watch out!

Large win on the road, HC looks like they may have hit the skids lately.

About what I expected. The cards are tough and a legit top 20 national team.

Excellent comments!

Henry Clay has a lot of talent, but do not play well as a unit.

 

I personally think they have most of the pieces of the puzzle, but haven't utilized them well.

They might have the most talented posts in the region with Boyd and Moses. I think they are missing Dunaway's leadership from last year -the loss of Minifield to injury has hurt them too.

 

Before the game they had a nice ceremony to honor former HC coach Childs.

Childs and Billy Hicks used to have some real battles when they both coached in Harlan County. One of my favorite basketball memories was when Hicks' Evarts team upset Child's Cawood team in the finals of the district tournament. Cawood was a big favorite. If I remember correctly both Cumberland and Cawood were in the top 15 in the state and Evarts upset them both on back to back nights.
