This one was over early and was a running clock in the 4th. Scott County's Quin Richardson (18) scored more than Simon Kenton (15). Feel bad for Simon Kenton with 3 senior starters injured. Still think Scotf County is better even if all SK kids would have played, but it would have been competitive.

He was listed in the preview specifically that Coach Mike Allen expected him to play. He did to start last night, but is obviously a key if Bryan Station will be successful. It's up for a debate whether he is a top 10 player in the region.

He's at Indiana. That doesn't seem undervalued to me

Someone please edit my title and change to Nov. 30 and add a poll. Thanks!

Bullitt East will travel to Lexington to face Henry Clay at Tates Creek tonight in a matchup of top 10 teams. No. 2 Bullitt East will be without Kentucky signee Derek Willis, who was ejected Monday night due to 2 consecutive technicals for unsportsmanlike conduct after a foul call on him, but Rusty Troutman (32 points Monday in the 74-57 win over Lafayette) and Trey Rakes still lead a formidable Chargers attack. The 8th-ranked Blue Devils, coming off an easy victory over Tates Creek, are led by juniors standouts Christen Cunningham, Trey Grundy and Jordan Green. Despite missing Willis, I will take the Chargers to win this one by 5 with Troutman again leading the way and Rakes holding his own against Cunningham. Who you got and why?

Kevin Spurlock will coach his first game at Perry County Central Friday as the Commodores meet 11th Region power Scott County in the nightcap of the PRTC Classic at Jackson County. Justin Johnson joined Spurlock from Sheldon Clark this season and, along with point guard Braxton Beverly and post Dalton Cornett, will form a solid trio. Scott County will counter with the backcourt of Quin Richarson and Trent Gilbert. The Cardinals are coming off a season opening 79-70 loss to Ballard in a game Gilbert struggled (5-18 from field, 1-8 from 3). Look for Gilbert to bounce back against the Commodores. Can the Cardinals match the inside presence of Perry County Central? Can PCC handle the pressure Scott County is sure to bring? Those are the biggest questions for this encounter. Last season, Scott County beat the Commodores 66-56. I look for another close contest. I will take the Cardinals by 4. Who you got and why?

An early 41st District matchup pits Woodford County, off a big win over Dunbar, against Frankfort. Woodford County got 27 from Eli Boggess and 20 from Chris Honabach (who didn't play last year but Coach Scott Hundley had predicted would have a good scoring season this year) in their 2-point surprise win over Dunbar Tuesday. Frankfort is coming off a disappointing season opening loss at home to DeSales (the Panthers do play Berea tonight). I couldn't find a box score from Tuesday's loss, but I am hearing Aaron Jackson has decided not to pla his senior basketball season. Maybe someone can confirm or deny that, but if true it is a huge blow for the Panthers as he was the team's top returnee. I look for Woodford County to win irregardless of Jackson's status, but by at least 15 if he is not playing. Who you got and why?

My point was a college official will typically allow more than a high school official. And, while some of the officials are the same, there are very few of the BBA officials doing Mid South games.

Happy's college antics won't work with local high school officials. No idea what he got a technical for, but the Mid-South officials that knew Happy over the years let him (and every coach in the conference) get away with some things that others may not.

I knew St. X was way overrated in the BGP pre-season rankings at No. 7. Outside of Kiesler, I am not sure they have anybody that puts fear in the opponents eyes.

I said 77-69 in the prediction thread. Richardson scored 19 in the second half to Scott County in the game. Gilbert had an off night, 5-18 from field and five turnovers. For Scott County to have a chance without much from him says a lot.

In my pre-season preview, I obviously had Dunbar overrated at 3rd in the region, although I heard Gary didn't play. But take nothing away from a good win for Hundley and Woodford.

Scott County led 54-53 going to the 4th but Ballard scores first 12 of 4th to pull out the victory. Quentin Snider scored 20 to lead the Bruins, but Kelan Martin's play down low in the 4th when Jordan Tribble fouled out for Scott County was huge. Martin added 15. Quin Richardson led the way for the Cardinals with 22. Good high school game to begin the season.

Ballard 77-69. Richardson and Gilbert keep Scott County in the game.

Dunbar by 8, assuming William Gary is playing. Thought I saw somewhere he was having knee issues.

Play Henry Clay Thursday and in Marshall Saturday. I think he has to miss both.

Louisville commit Quentin Snider leads Ballard against perennial 11th Region power Scott County in what has become a traditional opening game for both teams. Ballard won the last the last 3 years and 4 of the last 5. Beside Snider, the Bruins will count on guard Lavonne Holland and forward Kelan Martin to continue the winning streak. The Cardinals will counter with the backcourt duo of Quin Richardson and Trent Gilbert. Who wins and why?

I heard he got hurt but KOB a month away. Didn't know he would be out that long.

Is Quick not playing basketball this year?

Saw on Twitter he has been ruled eligible. I don't know the circumstances, but it seems like it's time to just rule everyody eligible and remove any transfer rules.

Gates open at 3:00. Game starts at 4:00 Sunday. Only one game, Huntington Prep vs Christian Faith. $10 per ticket, open seating...I would suggest arrive early, many tickets have already been pre sold.

Beyond a fantastic kid!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are actually speaking of senior Deonte Doss, who is a freak athlete and the one throwing down windmill dunks. Austin Kindred is a good athlete, but not in the class of Doss.

Tates Creek at Scott County Thursday. I believe it starts at 6

No doubt Gilbert can fill it up when left alone. Look for Richardson to have a solid senior season scoring the ball. The only younger kid I know about is Tae (sp?) Guyn, younger brother of current UC guard G-lawn Guyn. He is very athletic, but I would be surprised if he was a factor in his freshman season but he will definitely be an impact player before he leaves Scott County. Scott County will depend on some juniors and seniors who have been around the program for years and now must show their worth. Having said that, Thursday's scrimmage with Tates Creek will show much more than Monday did. Plus, projected starter Jalen Haddix is still in football but should be back before the season starts as the football Cards are projected to meet Trinity the Friday before the basketball season begins. Hopefully they pull out the shocker, but doubtful.
