Whatever. EC is 3-7. Rowan could have beaten them by 50 if they wanted to. They were in foul trouble cause they haven't a clue how to guard anybody.

 

Elliott has played a a bunch of tough teams is why they are 3-7. Rowan is very good but not 50 better then Elliott. Elliott will be battle tested when it comes tourney time.

16-0 against region competition, region champs....about as dominant as it gets. As far as your "close" argument goes, good teams win on nights when they don't play/shoot particularly well. Most are HOPING RC doesn't do well this year, which is fine. But 27-6 against a statewide schedule is pretty good. So since West played Elliott to a 12 point game, they aren't dominant this year, huh? LOL!!!

 

Just stating my opinion - calm down. I didn't say that Rowan girls are not a good team and that they are not favorites right now to win the region, because they are. I have nothing against Rowan - I think they have hardworking, talented athletes who are well coached. I am saying that the Elliott boys have consistently dominated this region (by wider point margins) more than the Rowan girls have over the past few years. And I stand by my statement that, while the Elliott boys may coast to a regional championship, that its too early to state the same for the Rowan girls. If you disagree, thats your perogative.

Did they call hand checking and reaching in? Difficult not to call when you continuously do that!

 

The called the Fouls 50 feet from the basket and then you get hammered underneath with a no call.

 

The Russell game was the same way. Kevin Hendrickson did the Russell/Elliott game and was terrible as usual.

I can guarantee that EC's schedule, while good, is no better than Rowan's. Notre Dame, Boone Co., and Manual all ranked (Manual #1), along with lafayette and Tates Creek. As far as the not 50 better, you may be right. May not be 50 better every night, but it was 65-30 in the 3rd quarter when the dogs were called off. EC's starters outscored the freshman team 25-9 to make it respectable. Oh...and its ALWAYS the refs, huh? lol! EC shot more FT's than Rowan!

Great observation Mr. Viking. I was at the game and they had three of the top officials in the Region on the game. Certainly not the refs fault. Does any one know the rebounding stats; it seemed as though Rowan had at least a 2 to one advantage; and Elliott had a lot of turnovers. Rowan County has very quick guards who rebound exceptionallly well for their size. I also think that Rowan still plays Lexington Christian and Lexington Catholic.
