Final from the Briar Patch on homecoming night.  Somerset led by 8 at the end of the first quarter, and pretty much kept it between 15-20 the rest of the way.  The Briar Jumpers improve to 18-6, and the Rebels fall to 11-10.

The Jumpers have played 7 games in 11 days, and finished that stretch 6-1.  Josh Lewis went out early tonight, and Hagen Webb did as well in 3rd Quarter.  But like Carl said, this one was in control from the outset.  The Briar Patch was rocking tonight for homecoming.

Is Lewis okay? 

Akers sprained his ankle for the Rebels too. Tough one on the road. 

I think Somerset held Driver to 6 points.

Boyle 11-10 with not a very hard schedule.  Is this Todd’s first year as a head coach in high school basketball?

Yes.

I think based on what I seen Webb's from Boyle was more severe.  Lewis should be fine.

Kole Grundy had a big night in his return too.  His defensive size/activity and secondary scoring is huge for SHS.

Boyle County's records the last 4 years:
2022-23--15-15

2023-24--15-16

2024-25--14-10

2025-26--11-10

Given the athletes that they've had in that time period, they've really struggled. 

 

Boyles never a shortage of athletes, but they’re almost always football kids playing basketball. Who was the last pure basketball kid they had who played year round and really worked at it. Imfeld?

He came to mind.  And, before that Hagen Tyler.  They looked disinterested last night. 

Somerset is sim. to Boyle where it's a Basketball Last school.  Football and Baseball are the priorities, but they have been able to turn the culture.  18 wins per season in the last four years, and the community is jamming the games out.  Great crowd last night, and I think it rattled the Rebels some.  Tough place to play.

First time at Somerset for a game. The setup was awesome.

I think for a big game, it's the best game atmosphere.  The historic gym, with the old school band/cheerleaders makes for a great environment.  I'm team band.
