Final from Flemingsburg

Huge win for the Panthers!!! Listening to the radio, it sounded like it was a great duel between Knipp and Burns. I think Knipp had 37 and Burns had 36 if I can recall. 16th region is absolutely wacky this year!!!

Huge win for Fleming Co.

Big game from the freshman Burns. Another freshman, Troy Stewart came off the bench in the 1st half and knocked down 4 three's. FC got good production from another freshman in Saunders...the future is looking up for Fleming.

Nice win for the Panthers!

Great win for the Panthers. Seem to be coming along nicely under Coach Kelly.

I've heard the Burns kid is really good. He's only a freshman isn't he? And most of Flemings team is really young too aren't they? They'll be dangerous at tourney time, may be too young to get to Rupp but they'll be a tough out.

Timmy Knipp 37 points, 16 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 blocks

Nice stat line for Mr. Knipp. I'd be even more impressed if Elliott County had won. The freshman Burns must have been impressive as well.

 

Not sure who is in Fleming's district. Is it Rowan, Menifee and Bath?

You are correct.:thumb:

Should have shown some Burns highlights, going around through and over the much taller Elliott team all night long. He got to the rim at will.

The Panthers although playing well are still very young and do not have a lot of depth. When they are clicking and play with energy they can play with many of the teams that most consider better than them. At the same time they don't always match up physically and foul trouble can lead to problems. They have 4 freshman playing major minutes mixed in with a few upperclassmen. The freshman have played a lot of ball, know what it is like to win, have good basketball smarts and are competitors. Elliott Co's coach in a postgame interview was quoted as saying Burns is one of the best young guards he has seen (and I don't think he meant just this year). With all that, they are still young and not as physically developed and strong as they will be down the road. They have a chance to be very good if the puzzle pieces all fall into place.
