Mercer won by 4. I was close though

Mercer by 5.

Mercer really got after it on the defense end and set the tone from the start. I though everyone played well for the Titans. Good win to get them back on track

I have no beef with McCloud and do not dispute that he is a hard worker and a team player and yes he made a couple of threes but how many did he miss and how many turnovers did he have? My point is this, would you as a coach rather have your best outside shooter taking 3 point shots or would you rather have your 7th or 8th man off the bench taking these shots?

BTW, I asked one of the coaches last night how tall he is and he said that Mathew is 5'7 to 5'8 and Cinnamon is 6'2 although the PA announcer listed him as 6'1.

Mccloud was 2-5 against Burgin from 3 which is 40%. Not sure whats wrong with that.

I totally agree with you about the refs but the comment about the subs getting them back into the game?!? I am not for sure what you saw but there is absolutely no reason that McCloud should be in the game and Cinnamon on the bench. Cinnamon is their 2nd best player this year and a future stud (if he keeps working on his game) and should not be out of the game in favor of 2 (McCloud and Yeast) football players who happen to play basketball.

When mccloud came into the game in the 2nd half he hit two crucial threes that helped Mercer make a run. So im not sure how you can say he shouldnt be playing. He is a good ball handler and has good shooting ability which Mercer needed because no one else was hitting anything.

Congrats to the titans.

I actually was very impressed with Penny's play. He is a very unselfish player and really looked to pass first. Yes, Yeast and Patterson were guarding him, but everytime he drove Mercer would collapse down.

Wayne- 17 28 44 58

Mercer- 13 22 40 61

Both teams played with lots of heart. Congrats to the Titans

Honchel was sick with a virus and didnt make the trip. Sagraves played well, didnt score but gave Mercer solid minutes. This was his very first varsity game so he probably was a little nervous.

Mercer, should have their full compliment of players. The football team was beat a couple of weeks, ago. Granted, they won't be in basketball shape but they still should play, IMO.

Yes the football players are practicing, but for some reason they are not aloud to play yet. Has to do with cuts not being made yet.

78-74 Mccreary in 2OT. Yes Watts played and played well, believe he ended up with 28. Mercer had the lead the whole game until late in the 4th it started going back and forth. Mercer played with no football players but looked very good none the less. I think Taylor for Mercer had 29 Dedman 18 and a good looking sophmore Cinnamon had 16.

Mercer is still playing without the football players. This one I believe will go to Mccreary. Mercer is playing with 13 players 6 of which are sophmores.

Mercer had a scrimmage against Nelson County. They lost the 1st quarter but won the next 3 easily. That was without the football players also. Dont know how strong Nelson County is though.

I don't know about a blow out but I do think Southwestern wins this one 21-14.

What about Mercer County I think they will be tough this year they only lose 2 seniors off of last years team and they have a very strong senior class and a very strong sophmore class

I have Mercer winning this one 14-6. Rock has a solid d-fense and so does Mercer I see this being a low scoring game.

Mercer is the most underrated team in the 5A. Do not be surprised if this team makes a playoff run.
