Yes...he actually played a lot in the first half. He had I believe two points on two free throws to put Holmes ahead early on. Spoke with his dad Mike a few minutes ago.

 

5 minutes of PT in the first half.

I saw that. His two points came in the first half though.

Andrew Brown is on any team I have in any sport.

 

Good post. I agree

Key stat for sure, especially on Riley's missed front end with 11 seconds left. Huge rebound by Pittman and converting on both free throws. Someone said he may make a differance in this one.

One on my site. Here's the link

Sure enough!

The little guy was having himself a ball, and seems to interact well with the Bulldogs!!!

I was surprised when Riley missed that free throw. He has been money from the line this year. Pittman did a great job grabbing the rebound over Earls though. BTW, he was 2 rebounds short of a double double...finished with 13 points and 8 rebounds.

Congrats to Holmes and good luck down state. I hope this is your year to bring it back to NKY. Also good season to Boone, I looked forward to seeing these two teams next year battle it out again.

I felt bad for the player who missed the shot right under the goal at the end of the game. If he makes that bunny BC wins the game.

By the way, these two will be #1 and #2 next year as well.

IMO: The top three teams next year will be:

1. Holmes

2. Highlands

3. Boone County

I agree. Tough not to have Highlands in that #2 spot considering they beat Boone already this year and return everyone for next season. Highlands and Holmes will be the two best teams in nky next year.

 

Boone loses too much with Mcfarland, Brown, and Spaulding.

I have been a Holmes fan for 60 years...right on the nose. However, the time out call produced an eruption of pure laughter from all of the neutrals sitting around us. I noticed that the Boone County fans, and it happened right in front of them, were not amused.The Holmes player was not faslling out of bounds...he was flat out of bounds, not in the air and the time out was an after thought on his part and a darn good one.

The time out call on which the Boone County player slid across the floor also produced a lot of questions. If he truly had possession, he should have been called for walking. If not, he could not call TO. When Riley tripped and went to the floor that was called walking. It takes mental gymnastics to separate the 2 call because Riley lay motionless and did not turn over which is, of course, walking. The 2 calls wash each other out.

Even giving the defense it's due, you have to sugar coat the performance of these 2 teams to call it much other than a "root canal" performance. Neither team shot the ball well when wide open, there were numerous misses from close in, there were many walking calls and too many missed free throws (not much defense on those).

Both teams gave incredible effort, but Holmes will have to play much better down state.

Oscar...I also agree with your posts.

This is NOT correct. You can slide the entire length of the floor and it not be traveling.

If Riley tripped and fell with posession of the ball then it is a traveling violation.

I heard that Ryan Popp for Boone is transfering is this true?

 

and where to?

 

Suprised to see his minutes dwindle over the season:confused:. Thought he could have given Boone a legitimate outside threat to open up some lanes for Gabbard to penetrate.
