Congrats to Elliott County on a great win.

Me too, 10th and 16th regions are my favorite and I support both.

Very impressive wins this week. Mason Co and now Ballard...enjoy EC fans.:thumb:

 

Hey, I thought the 14th would be one of your favorites. By the way what is wrong with Lee. I thought they would be better than what they are playing.

I seen some post a while back that said Ferguson wouldnt score that many points against the 7th Region competition well I guess that theory is out the window with 34 points last night. To all who said that, Ferg salutes you.

By the way congratuations to the Lions. They are a great bunch to watch.

Big words coming from BigSpikes!:ohbrother:

 

I said I would give them their props if they could pull out both victories against two top ten teams. As I said in another thread, they played one of the toughest weeks for any team in the state this year and they deserve their respect.

 

And FWIW, I never had a problem with any of the player on the team, just some fans. :thumb:

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Ferg is the no doubt the best scorer in the state of Kentucky.

We've always believed that this team deserves our support and recognition. It's just taken some of the rest of the state a little longer to acknowledge this phenominal group of young men!! :popcorn:

Thanks Eta and glad we have won you over. What one must remember though is that things can change very quickly. I remember several games we stunk the building up. But, of course some other top teams have had their bad games also. Here's hoping the top teams of Scott County, Holmes, Shelby Valley, and whoever comes out of the 7th (IMO Ballard) bring their A game because the fans will be in for some kind of show next month in Rupp and some great basketball like we saw last night. If the top teams get to Rupp there will be some talent on the floor for sure and the Greatest Show in Hoops will be on display in its best. Good luck to Holmes and here's hoping we both get to Saturday morning for a fantastic game that will have the fan's buzzing.

Coach Renner deserves a lot of credit for coming to Elliot Co. He is a well respected coach with a great tradition and history at Ballard. He knows basketball and had to be aware the deck was stacked against him. But that's what a winner does. I believe he would play them again if time would allow it. He said before the game it meant nothing in the big picture. He gave the fans and the small community of Elliott one to remember for a long time. Hats off to a gutsy coach and team.:thumb:

Great game last night. It was a great atmosphere for High School Basketball. Those Elliott Co. Boys are something to watch. Ferguson and the Faulkners are 3 of the best High School players I have ever seen. Good luck to the them the rest of the year. I hope to see the rest of your games.

Okay , Elliott County fans , I said if you won one of these two games this week you would get my respect. Knocking off Ballard and Mason in the same week and doing it pretty handily is a great job. You have my repsect now and I'll be pretty excited to see Elliott play in the State, I'm pretty sure you can go ahead and punch your ticket there.

Agreed. I have nothing but respect for Ballard. I'm just not sure why people are so quick to rate them above Eastern. Eagles 2-0 head to head. More importantly they beat them on a college court. J-town handled Eastern by pressing them all over the floor. Remains to seen if they can do that on a bigger floor. 7th region rep will be battle tested at Rupp, hopefully not too beaten up:cool:
