Congratulations to the boys from Elliott County. Also congratulations to Ferguson, and the Faulkner brothers. The big 3 from EC will go down as one of the most prolific scoring trios in State History.

Congrats to Elliott on the impressive win

To date, the EC boys are 97-21 since their freshman year.

First let me not just beat my chest about how great Elliott is, but also give some good things about Ballard. This was a heck of a game and Elliott played one of their best games of the year. Had to against this quality of a team. Ballard is not as big as Mason, Shelby, Holmes, or Scott County, but they have the athletes. They were putting on an impressive dunking exhibition in warm-ups including Keisten Jones who can fly off the floor. Cox and Chiles can shoot the rock and are super quick, but I felt the Faulkners did a great job on them. Ferg was hitting all kinds of fall away double pump shots that found the bottom of the net and then in the second half starting lighting it up from downtown. Timmy Knipp played big inside with some big blocks, but had a hard time with Keisten Jones who is only 6'4" but is a quick leaper who can turn and dunk on you before you know what happened. I have not seen Eastern, but I have seen J-Town twice and I believe Ballard is the better team and will come out of the 7th.

 

Congrads to Ferg on a big time night with 35 points and for breaking the 51 year old 16th Region scoring record. Congrads to Evan for reaching 2,000 points. 7,000 points by three players is an incredible career for the F Troop.

These three may not jump the highest, be the quickest, win a slam dunk competetion, or anything else for that matter. But when it comes to winning and flat out playing the game I will take them against anybody!!! One thing they do well and that is play with intensity, passion, mental toughness, and an all out will to win and they are a pleasure to watch. Never underestimate the sheer determination that these three possess!!! Thanks for an incredible ride and please keep it going so we can have some fun just a little longer.

:thumb: Excellent post!

I'm an Elliott fan (especially after tonight) and I honestly thought 2-1 for the week, but, I expected a loss against Mason.

 

Nothing but love from me, on this Valentines Day. I always knew they could do it, any time they play like they did tonight against Ballard and against Mason Co., they can play and win against any team in Kentucky. Good luck Lions on the rest of the season and thanks for the ride, it's been great!!!!!

Man, that is impressive!

Great Post LM. Would luv to meet up with you at next EC game if you are going to be there.

As Qryche said earlier I've been at a wedding reception all night, but now that I'm in for the night, let me congratulate the Lions on the big win. Very impressive. I'd gladly consider you one of the top 5 teams in the state right now and possibly top 3 (behind Holmes and SC of course ). Jk guys but I would put you ahead of Ballard, J'town, and Eastern.

 

In all seriousness, congrats to the Lions and their fans. Keep up the hard work boys! I look forward to seeing you at Rupp...hopefully in a Saturday morning match up with those Bulldogs or whoever else comes out of the 9th. You've officially made me a believer. :thumb:

Way to go Elliott. I was not a believer until now. I saw the SV/Elliott game and thought EC was just beating up on average teams, this sheds a new light. I also watched the supposed # 1 team play a couple times this week. I am changing my pole.

1. Scott Co.

2. Shelby Valley

3. Elliott County

4. Holmes

 

Go Elliott, would love to see you guys finish up undefeated.

Great post, they are truly a pleasure to watch. To the Elliott Co. fans, I am very proud of the passion you brought to the stands in the last few games, keep it up through district play and hopefully regional play and beyond.
