They have an excellent chance, although I would have to give Clark County the nod as 10th Region favorite at this point. One pre-season scrimmage does not a season make.

 

And let's not forget about Campbell County, Scott, Montgomery County, etc. Several 10th Region squads have the talent to get to Rupp should things break their way.

I think I remember somebody saying Barner and also #5 started, looked like a guard about 5'10 or so.

 

Wasn't at the game, but I am pretty sure #5 is Mandella Rice. He has been apart of the Mason County system since elementary school. Great kid and a pretty good player. He is one of the best shooters on the team.

People didn't think they could win state last year either and if my memory remembers correctly they did. I'll remember this in March. :thumb:

 

Who didn't think they could win? I don't know anyone who didn't think that they COULD win, especially with the best player in the state on their team.

Who were the starters for Mason if three were out?

Middleton and who else?

 

Middleton, Rice, Barner, Setty, and Lang.

WWWaaaayyyy off on that one Gold, East Carter will be a VERY good team also, with the capabilities of beating Elliott!!

My feelings exactly GoRadio. East will be a very good team with lots of returning talent. They will play with anybody.

Middleton, Rice, Barner, Setty, and Lang.

 

So, what's the conventional wisdom on what the starting lineup will look like by the holidays?

Depends if Hammer is healthy. Throw Downing in for Lang and Hammer in for Rice when they return. Pawsat also has a chance to start for Setty or Barner as well.

Greenup I believed had practiced quite a bit that day also. Maybe that was why some of their passes were off mark a bit. Might have been tired before the Mason scrimmage.

It doesnt really matter who the starting lineup is. Mason is deep again.

When all is healthy and ready to roll,Middleton,Setty,Pawsat,Hamm,Downing .

That's kinda what I thought. Three seniors and two sophs. With significant minutes from Gilbert, another soph. Barner, Lang, Rice and others off the bench as well.

 

Still some talent on a squad that graduated Mr. Basketball, two other very solid starters in Setty and King, as well as their sixth man in Tolle.
