I readily admit my prejudice in the matter of choice of player of the year in the 16th region. This prejudice comes as a result of living in Cougar country. Even allowing for that though, I believe McCowan to be the best choice for player of the year in the 16th and I use reason above emotion in making this choice. First of all, McCowan understands the game of basketball thoroughly, he is the consummate team player who takes little pride in personal accomplishment, and he has excellent stats which are not confined to any particular area but include field goal percentage, assists, rebounds, etc.

I agree with Platinum's post because it is logical and he explains his reasoning well. Prejudicial posts unaccompanied by any thinking disgust me.

Since there were no Owens haters on this thread, why did you bring Owens hating up here? AND you are not bursting my bubble, having very little effect on me at all really. I just think your bias thunders for attention and hope to make you realize the extent of your prejudice.

Just because of some disagreement (and very little of it), you say people hate Owens. I think you are just extremely biased because I saw no indication from anybody on here that he/she was, is, or ever has been an Owens hater. Get a grip, smell the roses, and above all get some perspective.

I would definitely buy a ticket for such a performance.

I think choices for the all region team do not relate to any player's performance on "any given night." If these options were confined to just one night, it would be meaningless since performances vary so much. This is a near the end of season selection based on players' overall performance thus far.

I think Morgan County will beat Raceland by 12 points.

Facts already mentioned in this thread plus the TEAM SPIRIT make me dream what would once have been an impossible dream -- a trip to play on Rupp Arena floor.

Since Elliott County has some sharp shooters who can light up the scoreboard with the threes and, since they suffered a defeat from Morgan county in their last game, I predict that Elliott will squeak this win out. Eventhough their team may have less experience than the Raceland squad, I believe they will win by something like 65-62.

Any comments or predictions on this game? Morgan County travels to Raceland on Tuesday night to play their last regular season game.

It really was a wild game, hissister. Elliott County played hard and Morgan County played hard. The fans from both sides yelled a lot and loudly and we won! Elliott County's gym always has an intense atmosphere and tonight was no exception. I am glad we got the win and hope we continue winning for a very long run.

Yes, Elliott County is capable of defeating the Cougars once again but I do not think that will happen. I believe the MCHS team will be victorious. This Cougar team certainly has the motivation and I am certain they will have the preparation to win this one. Being quite unskilled at prognostication, I will not predict the number of points by which I think they will be victorious.

During the last several seasons of Morgan County High basketball, there has been a large contingent of fans who follow their Cougars at home and on the road. I think the main reason for this large group of fans who follow their team is that we have such great pride in all aspects of Morgan County's basketball program. The team, the coaches, and the fans get the highest degree of respect from everyone they come into contact with as being pure class all the way. Cougar players never grandstand, never try to be star players, and are never belligerant. They are good at what they do and take pride in their team. The players' attitudes came primarily from their coaching staff I think and so I say: HATS OFF TO MORGAN COACHING STAFF and thanks for putting us on the basketball map!

UK could certainly learn a lot from the Morgan County Cougars and my emotions about senior night are tinged with a great feeling of sadness as we will watch these seniors play their last home game in a regular season.
