Final in overtime...........

Congrats to East Carter on the win, they become a very dangerous team in Morehead. Simply because you do not know which team will show up.

 

Tough way for the season to end for Morgan Co.

Great win for the Raiders! What a dandy 2nd half! Total team effort!

This was a game of 2 halves. 15-11 East at halftime, then it was like an offensive explosion in the second half. Great game! Hate to see a team lose in a game like this. Johnson had 24 points to lead East. Very physical game. Haney fouled out with about 3 minutes to go in regulation. Henderson and Montgomery fouled out later in regulation. Morgan had 2 chances at the end, missed a pretty good look at a 3 for the win and missed a put back.

 

I was impressed with Brandon Ferguson who led Morgan with 16 points. Good athlete! The one odd stat in this game is that East only hit 1 three point bucket. And that came at the end of the first half to give them the 4 point half time cusion.

Johnson carried East early but it was the play of Tyler Jackson in the closing minutes that kept East close. Made several big plays on offense and defense.

Jackson spent a summer playing AAU ball with Elliott kids. He is a tremendous kid and I think the experience served him well in a close game like this.

Congrats to Coach Brandon Baker, he always seems to do the right thing at the end of games...Best of luck Raiders in Morehead.

Maybe one of the best down to the wire game I've seen in a long time, Hope the shooting team shows up for East cause if not, It could be a long game for them on the big floor...Congrats East

Well said IBleedMaroon! I certainly hope the shooters are able to knock down some shots. Remember East Carter has beat Elliott County once this year. If my memory serves it was on Elliott Counties home floor. Hopefully it will be a great game.

They split close games at Elliott before Christmas and Elliott won in a blowout later at East Carter. When these two teams play anything can happen regardless of the regular season scores.

I couldn't agree more BogeyMan!!
