My point is that of RH's current top ten, eight will play again next season... six will play again season after next.

 

If they are all still there:sssh:

 

Seems to be a moving trend in the 16th.

They have only played one game. Relax. Rose Hill is going to be very good. Elliott has the target on its back, but all this early season praise means nothing, and I think those kids know it.

 

I dont think you can say that with the style they are playing this year. That style will allow Boyd County, Fairview and East Carter to play them tight and possibly beat them, because they will have time to set up half-court offense. That pace will possibly get them beat by Ashland, because they will not be used to the uptempo style and really will give them problems matching up against Elliott. I believe RH has the horses to beat anyone, including Elliott, but will not with the slow tempo.

I didn't say where they'd be playing... just that they would be playing. :lol:

 

Still a young team IMO. :thumb:

I think you'll see a mass exodus to Lloyd. It appears that there is no defense played there, and no one likes to play defense.

Everybody is young in this region. Fairview starts 4 underclassmen and Ashland has 6 out of their top 8 retuning next year as well as 20 our of 27 kids being Frosh or Soph's. Elliott has them all back next year and of course RH has several back as well for two more years. Greenup is real young too I believe. Should be a great couple of years in the 16th.

I am not ready to say what style they will play with after one game, but I know they are better off playing a slower tempo with Elliott County. They do not have enough depth to run with Elliott for the whole game. Not many teams in this area do.

Wow...

 

No offense, but it's December 5th. The earliest RH could possibly meet up with Elliott County would be Monday, January 21st at the 16th Region All A Classic. That's if Elliott Co. defeats Raceland in the first round Saturday, Jan 19th. I'd say their chances are good, but anything's possible.

 

If so, that's seven weeks and 16 to 18 games away. I know everybody is tired of hearing about how RH is a young team, but they are and I would certainly like to think they will continue to improve between now and then.

 

From everything everyone has posted, it appears that Elliott has started the season in March form. They're averaging 117 ppg. They clearly have a lot less room (or need) to improve than other teams in the region. So, it is a matter of playing catch up for everybody else.

 

Even so, I think it's a bit premature to hand them the title the first week of December. :lol:

 

Wow!!

So you think Elliott has pretty well peaked out, with two years to play and every one else is going to keep improving untill they catch up with Elliott.

Interesting theroy, but not logical.

From what I heard Rose Hill will not be playing the slow down as much as they originally expected. We will probably be seeing a lot more press defense from the Royals.

Wow!!

You guys crack me up.

 

I was responding to what I have to say struck me as a pretty condescending post by Ms. Liberty:

I think that the teams are just working on getting close to Elliott.

Rather than argue with her, I decided to play along.

 

I have never said one negative thing about anyone; coach, player, fan or general citizen in Elliott County. Not in over 7,300 posts. Not in real life.

 

Thank God, the kids and parents in Elliott County who know me also know I love each and everyone of them, and genuinely wish them nothing but the best. (Including Ms Liberty. )

 

Funny thing is, every one of those Elliott boys are the same way. They look me in the eye, say "Yes Sir" "No Sir" laugh, shake hands with a firm grip, some even let me give 'em a hug. I have nothing but admiration for them. They step across the line or onto the golf course and try their best to cut your heart out, and then when it's all over, win, lose or draw, they look you in the eye, shake your hand and tell you good game. They are proof there are some really good kids left in the world.

 

I don't think any objective evaluation would disagree that they are further along the development curve than most other teams in the region. That's a far cry from claiming they've peaked.

 

Even so, they're going to have to earn any championships they may win. I don't think they'd want it any other way, and I can assure you there's at least one team determined to give them a run for their money. :thumb:

What a classy, and true post. They are tough competitors and fine young men.
