Game will be played at 6:30 Saturday night at Warren Central in the first game of the Minit Mart KY v TN shootout.

 

Memphis Central is led by 6'7 Jarnell Stokes, who is rated the #3 sophomore in the country. They also feature 6'4 Tim Peete who is a 3* Tulsa commit.

 

Thoughts?

Will Pittman be playing? Could make a huge difference in the outcome of the game.

I have heard this team resembles Holmes in a lot of ways. It should be interesting but my loyalty to Kentucky and to the Bulldogs makes me say Holmes will win a close one. Anyone know if Elijah will play in this one? If not Holmes may get beat up on inside by the 6'7 kid, and it will also hurt the offensive production. Eli has worked on his post game this summer, he still is a streaky jumpshooter and he is passing the ball well this year from the perimeter and on the block out of double teams. Him not playing would certainly make me think the Dawgs could be out matched.

Pittman did miss the St. Henry game, but will be back for this one.

Was Pittman hurt?

He was not hurt.

Holmes needs to play with a little more urgency tonight even though they won against St. Henry they looked flat.

Still up in the air whether or not Pittman will play but from what I heard, I'm fairly confident that he'll be out on the floor when the ball is tipped.

 

Memphis Central is a very good team. I believe I read somewhere that they're rated the 6th best team in Tennessee. The Stokes kid is the real deal for Central. He already holds offers from Missouri and Memphis, according to Rivals.

 

This will be a very tough game as Central has the size to match up with the Dogs and from the sounds of it, are a mirror image of Holmes. Guard play will likely be the difference in the game. From looking at the box scores in Holmes first three games, it looks like it's the guards who have done the most damage against the Holmes defense.

 

Pittman v Stokes should be a great match up. For whatever reason, Pittman seems to play better when the competition is stepped up. He held the Marrero kid of Bowman to just 8 points while scoring 16.

 

It wouldn't surprise me if Holmes lost, but I'm going to go with the KY team:

 

Holmes- 68

Central- 64

Anyone know if there will be any internet coverage of the game?

If Pittman is not hurt, why wouldn't he play?

Probably found his way to the dog house, he is known to do that once of twice a year. Henley can afford to sit him against St. Henry, but not against this team, I would expect to see him play.

Anyone know if there will be any internet coverage of the game?

 

Anyone know of a broadcast?

Wow, low scoring game. Did Central play a deliberate game? I saw where they were rated # 4 in Tennessee by CalPrep.

No they didn't Holmes played great defense.
