You have to give Hood and his Dad props for not sending him to a school(ala Scott County, Catholic,etc.) for attention. Madisonville, with a former girls coach ...

Yeah, a coach that has taken a boys' team to the final four ...

Good analysis. Jackson was clearly Scott's best player. They may have played down to the competition a little, but this game should have been a rout. Hood will be a nice addition to UK. He can play but MNH requires him to be everything from a PG to the post man. The other kids seemed afraid to handle the ball or shoot until he was out of the game. Elliott should clearly dominate in the 16th. The only issue may be depth, but Mays seemed to sub alot more last night, so I guess he is working on it.

 

You guys really think that Scott County played down to there competition, for the facts Logan plays against many of your great teams every summer, they have always done very well against many of them.

 

They may not look like much, but are actually pretty good, or maybe they just get everybody to play down to them when they compete. Lets see, they beat Shelby Valley by about 15 this summer, and Scott Co. beat them by 8 at Scott County this summer with the the same team plus phares... Logan beat Lex. Catholic,Henry Clay, lost a close one to Mont. co., beat Feds Creek, etc...

 

I know it is hard for you to imagine, that a small school in WV, could hang with a great KY, school, then you start looking at the situations, Kentucky schools have been practicing for 6 to 8 weeks, while WV, schools have been going for 12 days.

 

I am sure that any time you want to put the best of KY, vs. the best of WV, you might get a little surprised. We can hang, KY, basketball is great, it really is, and overall, your state has more quality players than ours does.

 

More quality schools, but if you take our best and play your best, we would win some, lose probably a few more than we win. Yet we would be very resepectable.

 

Another thing, you do realize that no other school wanted to play Scott County...

 

Lastly, Paul Herbert Williamson who is a sophomore more than proved he could play at the level of some of the other palyers in these games, and Brett sorrelll can shoot with any kid in any state...

 

It would be nice to give a little props to the WVteam and for the guy that said pressing would hurt us. The full court press is easier to score on than Scott Co. 's half court trap, everybody that knows ball in Kentucky knows that.

 

We had 18 turnovers, 12 in the 1st 10 minutes of the game. Oh I am sure that Scott Co. just backed off, and played 2-3 zone the rest of the game and let us hang with them...

 

I hope Scott Co. has great season.

 

the Fast Lane Classic was a great day with great ball, and great fun...

I appreciate your love for WV basketball, but I was at the classic, and actually helped plan some of it. Logan is not on the same level as Scott County, that was painfully obvious in the 1st half. The 2nd half SC clearly didn't put as much into their gameplan and backed off plenty. Logan refused to play Phelps at the classic, and that is mainly why they played Scott County. It had nothing to do with nobody else wanting to play them. Kentucky basketball is a world ahead of West Virginia basketball. Again, I am glad you have great love for your state, but Kentucky>West Virginia.

We will get a good measuring stick on December 20th at Bourbon County when #3 or #4 Elliott County plays #1 Class 3A South Charleston, WVA in a 7:45 nightcap game. Talked with Jonathan Bevins and some of the players form Logan who were good kids and honest. They said they (Logan) were not ranked in the pre-season Top 20 in Class 3A. Said South Charleston was ranked #1 or #2 according to the poll. Logan beat Scott County in the 2d half by 2 on a last second three point shot. I thought Logan had a nice shooting team and I saw Bevins play all summer with the Derek Smith AAU team. He is a real nice inside player and was surprised to hear that he doesn't have many offers on the table. He is a 6'8" big body strong blue collar player who bangs and works relentlessly hard around the basket.

I watched South Charleston play last year and unless they've picked up some players they are not the same caliber of the top team in Kentucky. They defeated Paintsville by 3 points at the Expo Center and were not an overly impressive team.
