If you downstaters havent had a chance to see Dixie Heights Freshman Brandon Hatton on the AAU circuit, I would watch him this weekend. He is a true scorer and was picked in the FAb 50 Frosh this past summer where those kids are invited to play in a Nationwide All Star game in Chicago's Rosemont Horizon.

All games are live and archived on ihigh.com/ckysports from Rupp today.

How did Dixie Heights do?

Dixie Heights 65 Letcher County Central 60

 

DH shot the three well. Missed alot of easy shots around the basket. LCC had alot of easy turnovers. LCC led most of the game. Good scrimmage for both.

How did Dixie Heights do?

 

Dixie did well considering they were missing their big guy in the middle (Pike) who was on a football recruiting trip.

Stansberry looked good from what I saw in that scrimmage. He will lead the Colonels this year. Trammel does a good job running the show but he doesnt look to score and Hatton who normally scores a lot seemed to be off the mark today. I didnt see Pike in the scrimmage at all, whats up with that?

Looked like the college 3 point line may have been throwing a few kids (shots) off in the Dixie/Letcher game.

I have no clue how this event made any money. I attended the final 3 games of the session and there may have been 50 people in the gym (22 of those were the Pendleton County bench). When I can hear every word the coach says in the huddle at Rupp Arena something is wrong

There were more people than that. Not a packed house of course but 100ish or more for each game. Each school is charged an amount and has the ability the earn the money back by selling tickets. I would say all teams lost a little bit of money but the amount each school had to pay probably covered KBA rental expenses.

They made money on the event.....For the middle schoool girls final the gate for those two games made at least $5500. At the end of the day they do pretty well. Each school presale their tickets. It does cover their expenses.

I didnt find the PC/Frankfort game on the archived webcasts.

For some reason, the last game of the day was not on the net. Admittedly, I didn't see all the games, but I think it would have been hard pressed to top this one for excitement. Frankfort made a layup with four seconds left to come away with a 56-55 win over Pendleton County.
