I still stand by my prediction from last year - I really think Elliott has the team that can win the state title this season. They were a couple of decisions away from beating Mason County in the Sweet Sixteen last season and they should be right there again this season.

Wow, this score really surprises me, but i'm sure if these two played during the season it would be alot closer with GRC pulling out the win. But I do think Elliot is a very solid team.

Which Faulkner kid is going to NKU???

Which GRC players are just coming to the team from football? I know Williams plays but I thought that was it.

I'm surprised by the score, but GRC is still a young team and they will be very strong in the not too distant future. Elliott has the same core group again this year and I would guess is already in mid-season form.

This is a good win for the boys from Sandy Hook.

I just cant' figure out what Elliott has to do to get some respect :confused:

^ They have my respect. Very skilled players.

Looks like the Faulkners have bulked up since last season. They sure are fun to watch. Max effort all the time.:thumb:

I mean, they just beat a preseason top 5 team with a UK player by 21 points and everyone is still coming out with - it was just a scrimmage, football players, GRC would beat Elliott later in the season, GRC has no chemistry, 16th region officials, on and on and on...

 

I mean, some of that is probably true, but it was still a 21-point game. Sorry for the rant, I just think Elliott deserves a little more credit than they get sometimes.

Ethan Faulkner the point guard who scored 28 pts. on 14-14 FT shooting is headed to NKU.

Like you said Ryan Williams, and Cory Rogers both play football. Also Dini their QB is on the basketball team i believe. That is all that i know of, im sure gold sunrise could tell us more.

I agree with you. They deserve respect. But then why did you try and discount Manual's romp over Lexington Catholic last weekend with "its a scrimmage" and "that what I thought" comments? Preseason games like these are played with intensity. I say this solidifies EC's spot in the top 10.

Where did I discount anything? I asked the question:

"Scrimmage?"

 

Someone said yes, it was a scrimmage.

 

I replied with:

 

"That's what I thought. Thanks!"

 

I wasn't discounting anything. I was simply asking if it was a scrimmage or not.

You're a sophisticated basketball fan and your comments are good. It was odd that you did that fully knowing the season was three weeks away.

 

It doesn't matter now and we seem to agree. The point is these games do mean something and Elliott County and Manual have solidfied their spots in the rankings while earning respect even if they are preseason games.

Two starters in Ryan Williams and Cory Rogers. Then possibly Dini and Skinner.
