Ashland 56 Fairview 45

[Ms Liberty]

Kinda thought this one would go the other way. Fairview will be very competive next year.

[Old Soda]

Congrats to the Tomcats and Coach Biggs. Good luck in the district finals and next week at Morehead.

Congratulations to the Tomcats on advancing to the championship. Coach Cooksey and the Fairview Eagles has had a good season and will have for the next two(at least) seasons. When it is tournament time the Tomcats step up to the challenge.

 

IMO they will be VERY talented in the years to come and will be a force to be reckoned with. Good season Eagles!:thumb:

Congrats to the Tomcats, the regional tournament wouldn't been the same without Boyd Co. and Ashland.

Great win for the Tomcats and Coach Biggs. Shows character by the players and coaches to hang in there under adversity. Good luck in the finals.

The curse of the ducksters has befallen Fairview once again. I bet the old duckster isn't very welcome in Westwood these days. :lol:

 

LRCW at least he sticks to his guns and is consistent. I have to admire that in a person. :thumb:

And as many others will say.....A well officated game..............NOT!!!!!!

Congrats to Tomcats- Wish my Liions were there but its gonna be a while for that.....

Do our district proud to both teams!!!!!

:thumb: Good post BH, it certainly does show what the Ashand coach and kids are made of. Ashland, with their sucsess and tradition through the years shouldn't have to explain anything to anyone.

It's hard to beat a team 3 times in one year. I think over all, Fairview probably has the most talant. However, Ashland is one of those teams who like to get physical. That seams to be where Fairview has problems. However, we must remember they're all sophmores except for Armstrong. They'll bounce back and will probably be a lot stronger next season.

Ashlands "D" was the key to the win. Tomcats Bowling and Adams shut Collins down and thats not easy, he's a great player.Thomas made Hall work hard for every shot and he had alot of help from his team.Good Job Tomcats. :thumb:

I have a few observations and they are as follows:

 

1. I must give credit to the officiating crew last night. I thought the game was well officiated. And that would include Joe Billman, who I chastised for the game before. I will say perhaps having a solid crew around him made a difference, I don't know. But Billman and the rest did a fine job! Perhaps he had an off night on Tuesday, but a marked improvement to say the least.

2. I'm very happy to see Mr. Thomas make it to the regional tournament. I've said it here before, that I'd hate for Matt to have ended his senior season not advancing to the playoffs in either football or basketball.

3. I continue to be impressed by Mr. Hall. He knocked down shots with a hand in his face and essentially kept Fairview in the game down the stretch.

4. Finally, that guy in Westwood ain't no Wizard.

 

 

Only in America, baby!

Could it be that you think Mr. Billman had a good game because your team wasn't involved, and you just think Mr. Billman is bad when he makes calls against your team?

Always the detective!!

Nope, I thought last night was the best he's officiated in the times I've seen him. He did a swell job.

And if you will do your slueth work, you'll see that I said he was equally officiating in the game the night before.

 

And I'll go one step further, that Gearhart girl is a fantastic official, and when accompanied with Mr. Hall, they had a quality crew last night. They did a bang-up job. I hope that is the same crew for the final.

Why didn't Fairview use their diamond-1 press?

[Uncle Jed]

Congrats to the Tomcats.

 

Both teams seemed very tight early and made numerous unforced turnovers.

 

LRCW, Yet another of the Duckster's Fairview predictions goes down in flames.

 

Since I picked them to advance and beat RH in the final, should this lock me in to picking Ashland?

 

I sure hope so.
