What a way to start the season. Tuesday 11/29 #3 Scott Co will travel to #2 Ballard for a showdown of two of the states top teams. ( Rankings are based on the Lexington Hearld coaches rankings).

 

Your thoughts and predictions on this game.

Scott Co will already be in mid-season form and takes this one.

Who are the Cardinals going to start? Manning, Ivey, Richardson, etc

 

I think Ballard takes this one at home.

How many guys will Coach Hicks be missing because they are still playing Scott County football?

Ballard is hard to beat at home. I have to lean toward the Bruins in this one.

I believe only one -- Josh Walls. He didn't play last year, but was with the team this past summer and will see time off the bench. There are a couple of others who are playing football, but won't have an effect at the varsity level.

 

Scott County did lose 2 kids from last year that would have helped this year. Christen Cunningham transferred to Henry Clay and Dylan Portwood decided not to play basketball this year.

Other 2 starters in scrimmages have been Gilbert and Harris. Developing depth will be key for Scott County as the season progresses.

 

I think Ballard will be tough to beat in this one, but Scott County is a team that can do it. Scott County isn't ducking anyone this year -- their 3rd game is against Trinity.

Why isnt Portwood playing this season? That is a shock to me.

Scott County did open gyms 5 days a week in the pre-season and Portwood got burned out -- or that was the excuse he gave. I was shocked as well and hope to see him back on the court next year. He is currently playing in the local youth league, which is a total waste of his talents in my opinion. But, it is what it is. He would have played significant minutes for Scott County this year, but if you don't have your heart in it then it's better he's not there.

Portwood not playing is a shocker. Best of luck to him.
