Huge honor in that field!!

Congrads to the whole team on a great tourney and performance. Standing outside the convention area during halftime and breaks between games I can tell you the buzz was about this team (you know that area where many gather, talk, and pollute the air and lungs). Many older local residents who have attended the tournament since its inception in 1981 said this was a fun bunch to watch and they will remember them for a long time. Said they have never seen a school this small (and short with the exception of T. Knipp) come down to this tournament and play the trees like they did. Many of them fell in love with them and were pulling for them each game. They had hundreds of questions about location, size, rankings, Sandy Hook, etc. Most agreed that if we would have shot anything better than 4-30 from 3 point range we would have beat Cedar Hills. Most found it simply amazing that we were within 2 points under 2 minutes left. They said that team, "just hung in there on sheer grit, hustle, and determination". Many said they had never seen a bunch play harder of with more intensity.

 

LIONS--Conrads again you won the hearts of many in the Palmetto State!!

Great news for to two great kids. Thats a good achievement for both them and Elliott Co. Also the 16th region and the state of Kentucky.

Congrats to the Lions!

Congrats to the Team, nice showing.

Outstanding! Congrats to two fine young men on two great individual honors. As those who know them can tell you they would gladly trade them in for a tourney win as that is just part of what makes them truly outstanding both on and off the court.

CONGRATS ELLIOTT,

ETHAN and EVAN

WE'RE PROUD OF YOU!!

 

We've watched you all play for 5+ years and know how much you all deserve this recognition today and for many years to come. :thumb:

Grit, hustle and determination. Add those to sportsmanship, unselfishness, talent and you have the recipe for a great group of kids with a mission to win a state tournament!

Good luck the rest of the way, you did everyone proud!:dancingpa
