I think LCA was up 5 in the final minute! Dissapointing loss for LCA.

Well, after I saw that Madison Central/ Lincoln Co. score I think Mason should win by 10 points or more if they play well.

Has Rogers from LCA seen any time? If so how is he playing?

I always like to watch UHA play. To me this is not an upset at all. I think UHA is a top 15 team that has a chance to make a deep run at Rupp if they can come together as team. I have seen them twice this year and they didn't disappoint with wins over Adair and Tates Creek. Hopson did a really good job in guarding Ballou in the post in the Adair Co. game. He can play good defense on the inside and out. Edmonson should be an allstate player and they have a lot of help too. I know St. Henry has been on a mini roll as of late but with earlier losses this year to St. Pat, Westen Hills, and St. X I didn't expect them to give UHA much of a challenge.

Welcome to this part of KY!

Yeah I don't know why 1340 AM isn't carrying the game.

Why don't they run the option w/ Pulley and Locke and have Ford blocking on the outside?

There are maybe five teams in the nation that play more than one high quality out of conference team.

Anyone saying no team outside the SEC can be successful is crazy. I would hope everyone realizes that last year the SEC was a great conference but the PAC 10 wasn't far behind. And of course other teams can be successful.

What are you talking about? UK had one of the toughest schedules last year according to computers and that will continue to be the case this year.

Agreed!

Wonder how Lincoln beat Madison Central so bad.

I have only seen them in the two Montgomery County games. I also thought Williams was a sr., guess I was wrong.

They aren't bad at the top but then they get ugly quick!

I'm not saying Montgomery should be higher than 25 I just think GRC should be much, much lower. Losses to #147 Rowan Co. and #101 N. Laurel do not help the Cardinals.

I agree Paintsville is a legit top 15 team. I think UHA and Shelby Valley (despite the loss to Pikeville) should be in the top 20.

GRC has lost to unranked North Laurel, Rowan, Franklin Co., LCA, and #25 Montgomery Co. (twice). They have one win over a top 25 team and that is Madison Central in overtime when the Indians were missing their top 2 players (of course Simpson has been out all year). Maybe Cantrell is from Clark County!

Next year's series will be like all meetings between these teams normally are. Close. GRC has two good ones coming back in Stenzel and Hatton, after that I haven't been too impressed with any of their underclassmen. MCHS has Rash, Hendrix and company. These teams could be battling for a regional title.

These teams seem to be pretty evenly matched.

Great win for the Indians. Blain Stull had 9 assists, Josh Clark played on a slightly tweaked ankle, Brandon Rash played solid, Crisp was a zone buster. Total team effort.

Pikeville beat Shelby Valley and almost beat Paintsville. Is Pikeville really good or did Valley and Paintsville just have off nights?

I thought Derrick Jasper played awesome. A very courageous effort. I love big guards who can rebound and take care of the ball. And, oh yeah, Jasper has can shoot it a little, too!

I hope the Indians win but it is never easy when these two teams get together. I sure hope Josh Clark and Brandon Rash can stay out of foul trouble because Rash needs to be guarding Stenzel and Josh Clark really did some damage in the first game. I have to go with the Indians by 4 points. I wonder if the Clark County coach is going to press this time around. They played a two three zone last time but Cody Curtis put a dent in it with some early threes. MCHS is going to have to watch Hatton and Bennett on the perimeter. I hope the Indians play man-to-man defense. Also the students get pretty crazy for this one I hope no one gets in a fight after the game. If anyone wants to see an intense rivalry come to Mt. Sterling tonight and check out our new gym.

I get really tired of Mason fans bringing up the region final last year and saying that disproves home court advantage. That is the exception rather than the rule. Everyone talks like it was some major upset or something. That is crazy. Preston Knowles, Tristan Jones, Robelle Rogers, Robbie Stenzel and company were a solid ballclub that could match up well with the Royals. Give that team some credit. If it was more common for the away team to win then it seems like Royals fans would be begging to have the region in Mt. Sterling every year. For some reason I don't think that is going to happen.
