EC isn't going to win every game by 40 points. Just as every other top team in the state, they are going to have games where they don't play as well as they can. Great teams find ways to win those games, just as EC did last night. Hats off to West Carter for giving it all they had a causing EC some problems. They will be a tough out for anyone come tourney time.

Reminds me a little of the 2003 Morgan Co. team....team was loaded in size and talent...physically the strongest basketball team in the 16th region I have witnessed over the last 20 years...some of the late 80's and early 90 Boyd Co. teams were physical specimens much like Morgan in '03, but the point is, that team had so much pressure to WIN BIG....I recall people doubting the Cougars abilities because we only won by 15 or 16 points...expectations are a good thing...................sometimes!

 

Of course, no expectations would yield a regional title a year later! Funny how the game of basketball works...and then when expectations went up in 2006, the Cougars got popped in district 1st round by West Carter....probably the biggest upset in 16th region over the last decade.

 

West Carter has proven themselves as a school to pull off upsets and play well in crunch time. Football team has been the same way...hats off to them as well.

NO ONE is invincible or indispensable. ANY ONE can be beaten by the worst team in the league on certain night's. I never count my chickens until they hatch.

I just hope those boy's regardless of the hype, pressure, rumor's, what parents say or do, or what uncle joe thinks, what gran'pa Jon tells them etc, etc, etc, have enough composure to be able to stand all the storm and troubles by sticking together as a team and knowing twenty years from now that they really gave it their all as a team and weren't brought down by outside influence of any kind and IF they go down they go down fighting together.

Is the Webb kid a younger brother of Jeremy Webb?

 

Taylor Webb is his nephew.

Sorry; Taylor Webb is a cousin; not nephew. Taylor's dad is Terrell Webb; who was a standout at WC in the early 80's/

Taylor Webb is his nephew.

 

Not his nephew. Taylor Webb is Terrell Webb's son. Terrell and Jeremy Webb are first cousins.

Scoring West:

Pucket 13

Webb 9

B. Oney 15

Rayburn 20

C. Oney 6

J. Webb 2

 

Elliott:

Ferguson 21

Evan Faulkner 13

Ethan Faulkner 16

C. Knipp 15

T. Knipp 12

 

 

No points off the bench for EC?

No points off the bench for EC?

 

Let's see - that adds up to 77 points, so...

Not his nephew. Taylor Webb is Terrell Webb's son. Terrell and Jeremy Webb are first cousins.

 

Correct.

I just hope those boy's regardless of the hype, pressure, rumor's, what parents say or do, or what uncle joe thinks, what gran'pa Jon tells them etc, etc, etc, have enough composure to be able to stand all the storm and troubles by sticking together as a team and knowing twenty years from now that they really gave it their all as a team and weren't brought down by outside influence of any kind and IF they go down they go down fighting together.

 

:thumb: Excellent post! This post is good bulletin board material, and not just the type to get a team fired up!

Great game, close the whole way. I think West Carter just got a little fatigued down the stretch. Great officiated game and Elliott finished well with free throws.

 

 

I dont believe the game was officiated well at all.

 

Kevin Hendrickson should have been in the JV game. Joe Coldiron has not had a good year with the whistle. Roy Wright just goes with the flow.

 

I hope that these games are assigned before the year starts because Ashland/ Spring Valley had 2 of the better offiacials doing that game and Joe Billman was in Rowan doing the Rowan/ Tates Creek girls game. Bobby Hall was doing the East/ Russell game

I dont believe the game was officiated well at all.

I really liked the non-walk in the first half when a WC player slid 1/2 way down the court with the ref standing right beside him!! :thumb:

I am an Elliott fan and typically when a team struggles or loses people blame it on the refs which is usually a poor excuse, however I was told by many people that the game was not called well at all and though I didnt get to go to this one I listened to it on the radio and it seemed there were some very questionable calls made during this game. Like I said I only heard the game and am going by what several people told me, I do not know for sure.

I dont believe the game was officiated well at all.

ECCHEER - you're in trouble when you past 2 more times :thumb:
