Congrats to Ashland on the win. Drew Mcdavid had 43 points and a nice game.:thumb:

A nice win for the Tomcats, but I started to get a little worried when they went on the run to start the 2nd half.

Ashland seemed to play well tonight. Mcdavid had a monster of a game. Way to go TCATS!

Ashland will play for 5th place in the Hoopin It Up Holiday Classic against North Laurel tomorrow at 4:45 pm.

I listened to the 2nd half and McDavid was just unstoppable! I dont think he missed a shot in the 2nd half. 43 points!! I cant remember anyone scoring that many for Ashland since Marty Thomas scored 57 back in like '92. Matt Thomas also played well with 15, Tyler Reliford has also played well the last few games scoring 8. This team will be really dangerous when Wilcox comes back. Remember last year when we would score like 35 or 40 points?!?! Those days are gone!

Nice win for the Tomcats. The North Laurel game could be interesting. Coach Jim Conway (former Russell assistant) has NL playing well and he knows Ashland. Should be interesting. Congrats to McDavid on such a nice game.

Wow Wow Wow 43 points. Most points all year by anyone in the 16th I believe. Good win for the cats. Keep improving every game.

I think that he is the best player in the region. How many rebounds di he have?

What is Knox C. ranked in the 13th?

The final score was actually 72-65.

 

McDavid was amazing, scoring from all over the floor on drives, post-ups, stickbacks, short jumpers, and even a few outside shots. Here's the stat line: 15-of-18 FGs, 1-of-2 3FGs, 12-of-13 FTs, 9 rebounds. Knox Central tried everything, including double- and sometimes triple-teaming McDavid, but to no avail. Just a spectacular performance by the junior, and great recognition on the part of the Tomcats to keep feeding the hot man.

 

In/re to your original question GS: Knox Central isn't rated very highly, maybe eighth or ninth at best, but they have improved dramatically from when I saw them in their season opener to now. They will pull a few upsets against 13th Region teams not named South Laurel. The Panthers were down as many as 18 in the first half and cut it to one on three separate occasions in the third and fourth quarters, but McDavid answered each time.

Congrats to the Tomcats!! They will only get better!!

McDavid is a good player and a quality young man.If earlier posts are correct McDavid(43),Thomas(15) and Reliford (8) had 66 of the 72.What happen with Cannoy and Williams?

I think that he is the best player in the region. How many rebounds di he have?

 

9 rebs.

15-18 is just incredible, nice way to up that shooting percentage! Its officially time for a Drew McDavid avatar, sorry Ian.

This was a good win for the Tomcats. They will be good by tournament time.

 

Congratulations Drew on a big game.
