Finally got a chance to get to my computer. I was in attendance for the game last night and want to start out by saying Holmes is the real deal by far the best team in the state at this point. The absence of Hicks and Watkins really hurt the Flyers in my opinion, maybe not enough to make a difference in the outcome but still hurts missing them. I was very impressed with the abilty of Holmes' players to get to lane and elevate. I noticed a lot of times where they just hung in the air longer then the FC defender and made the shot. Also Holmes didnt force much on the offensive end all night and took good smart shots. I thought they shot the three very well, a lot better then I was expecting. When Holmes plays like this they are going to be a tough team to beat for anyone, anywhere. I thought Barrett Meyer played a great game for the Flyers. Donovan had a rough night but what do you expect when you have Pittman guarding you, nothing that is Andy's fault. Pittman is the real deal he is a stud, by far the best player in his class, no arguements. Please dont come at me with Euton, Jackson, Guyn, or who ever else Im not going to listen to that, Pittman hands down. Hopefully the Flyers can rebound today against Dixie Heights.

 

On another note I really liked Holmes' gym and setup of the school, was very impressed. It kind of reminded me of a small college atmosphere.

I agree with this. Pittman has definately grown since last season. At 16 years of age the sky may be the limit for this kid. His wing span is so wide it is as if it stretches from sideline to sideline. He doesn't just play above the rim, he plays above the square.

Missing Hicks and Watkins definately hurt the FC, although I agree with mooremiller and Eta Rho that it probably would not have changed the outcome, especially the way Holmes shot the three. FC players had that "short handed look" on their faces as the starters were introduced.

 

The good news is that Hicks and Watkins both performed well in th Border Bowl and came out of the game without injury. Watkins started and played the majority of the game at offensive left tackle and played very well not giving up any sacks. Deron Hicks also played well at receiver and returned a punt for a TD. KY defeats TN 26-20. As a KY fan you gotta love that!!!!
