Thursday Night Attendence at Rupp
flyin'intheflag replied to gchs_uk9's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
You could rob the bank at Sandy Hook with no problem this weekend, but you wouldn't find any money! It is in the wallets and purses of the Elliott County faithful in Lexington...they have been planning this party for a long time now and I figure the KHSAA and the city of Lexington will be the ones doing the taking. -
Elliott vs East Carter history
flyin'intheflag replied to The Hook 2009's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
East Carter basketball will be fine! They will continue to win around 20 games per year and always be in the hunt for the district championship. By seasons end, they were the second best team in the region. Remember they outplayed Elliott in every aspect of the district contest except for free throws attempted and free throws made. I hated to see the season end as they were continually improving. Oh, what might have been had they not lost twice to Morgan County at home...once in the gym and once in an office? Not many of the "what have you done for me lately" generation understands the level of domination that East Carter has had in the history of the 62nd district. -

What if the tie-breaker says "point differential between the two teams that are tied?" In this case there are three teams tied. Would that force them to automatically proceed to the third tie breaker which is something to do with regular season records and tournament games??? -

Point differential between tied teams in the 62nd...all with 2-4 records counting a loss by East at Elliott. East beat West by 11 West beats East by 4 West beats Morgan by 15 Morgan beats West by 4 East beats Morgan by 9 Morgan beats East by 9 That would leave East with a +7 overall. That would leave Morgan with a -11 overall. That would leave West with a +4 overall. If that is the way it is done...then East is #2 seed, West #3, and Morgan #4. If three tied teams makes them use the winning percentage of regular season games...then we will have to wait awhile to see. -
What happened to Logan and his recruitment to Eastern Kentucky University? I thought he would sign with the EKU. Didn't he take a visit to Richmond this weekend? If Georgetown is getting Logan...they are definitely getting someone who should be playing at a higher level. But Georgetown has a history of getting players like that. Good luck to both.

Why do we still play sports in Kentucky when school is cancelled do to a weather delay? School is cancelled because of the silly way that Kentucky funds public education. You get money based on the number of kids that are at school each day not on the number of students enrolled. If the buses don't run on all the roads and your attendance drops below 90% then you lose tons of money! The games are also played because of financial consideration. A high school sports program depends on gate receipts to pay the bills. No game...no money...simple as that. Those that can make it to the game assume the risk. You also have a contract between the two teams to play the game with financial considerations involved for forfeits. You can always tack the day missed from school at the end of the calendar but you can't always find an agreeable make-up date. Most games that are played on "snow days" are on the ones where most people living in the world of asphalt are wondering why school was cancelled to begin with. Strange enough, sometimes the crowds are better on snow days because mom and dad can't wait to get the kids out of the house!

Any stats on the East Carter game? -
Morgan County vs West Carter
flyin'intheflag replied to IBleedMaroon's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
West Carter over Morgan Co. Did not get a score. Listened to 102.3 postgame for over 5 minutes and did not hear the score...just the result. Gave up on it. -

But was I right in my post where I said seed 2,3,and 4 are still a possibility for West? Here's a good one for you NETS. What if East beats West and Morgan and West split? -

Isn't 2nd, 3rd, and 4th still up for grabs? Couldn't West lose to East and Morgan and still finish 4th? -

Ferg was defended very well by a taller player. -
East Carter Make-Up with Elliott County
flyin'intheflag replied to 16thBBall Fan's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Didn't that happen last year? -
When was the last time the 16th region had a top 5 boys team (Elliott)and a top 5 girls team (Rowan) in the rankings at the same time? Will ask same question on boys forum as well.

West Carter is very impressive just based on their effort. Coach Webb and staff are getting every ounce out of the talent they have. That must be very satisfying to them as coaches! I don't really know how they could improve. It seems like everyone of their guys are playing full tilt. They are certainly an example of how hard work pays off because just from the looks of the teams one would expect East Carter to have won. East has plenty of room to improve. It will be interesting to see how future matchups between the Carter County schools play out. -
Elliott County 78 Southside, SC 69

This was a 16 team tournament. 2 teams finished 0 and 3. 6 teams finished 1 and 2. 3 teams finish 2 and 2. 4 teams finish 3 and 1. 1 team finishes 4-0. Elliott finished 3-1. Is that tied for 2nd? Is it 9th? Is it 7th? Is it consulation champions? Is it the luck of the draw? Could they have gone 4-0with a different 1st round opponent? Could they have gone 0 and 3 with a different first round opponent? Oh the questions! None of them really matter. I think that going to that tournament and finishing 3 and 1 is darn good and that would go for any team in our state. They represented Kentucky wonderfully and I for one pat them on the back...that is if I can find a spot that hasn't already been stabbed by fellow Kentuckians.
