Chris is easily the most underrated player in this region. He never stops on defense. And if they back off of him he can knock it down. Doesn't shoot enough, IMO

Did you see Elliott dismantle East at home?? If they are the #2, it needs to be by a wider margin.

Finally someone who knows why CovCath beat us, without talking about all that "Lockdown Defense" non sense. And your right, IMO those three could more than likely walk into any high school (Mason included) and start.

I'd say there are 8 to 10 ankles on this team that are just as important than TK's

As far as the comparisons between him and the Faulkners or Ferguson when they were his age, it is simply not a fair comparison

They faired pretty good last season with John Morgan starting. All I'm saying is, he's a very talented young man. But to watch him last season play with confidence and effort is completely different than watching him this season. And, IMO its because he isn't getting the looks on offense

They had much more experience by that time than Knipp does now. Plus your talking about a 6' 7' Freshman who grew 2 inches this past summer. Let's not even compare the three, because it isn't a fair comparison.

Yeah, I'm not picking on him. I just think him being a freshman, and only playing one year of JV ball, as an eighth grader, He could have really used another year on the Jv. To work on a few things, as well as to keep his confidence up with getting more shots. While still getting quality minutes on the varsity.

Timmy started every game for the JV last season....And didn't really become the sixth man until near end of season.. Thats what I'm saying, he would benefit from another year of JV ball

I agree completely. He'll be fine, if he reaches half his potential, he will be twice the ball player most of us only hoped to be. Yes, he's only a Freshman, IMO (again, not picking on him) he could have used another year of JV to improve his ball handling, post-up, and rebounding skills. But again, he's only a Frosh. Seems to me his confidence isn't were it was at last season. I could see the more touches he would get on the JV level solving this.

No, 21 wasn't under the weather. He never shows any emotion........Or effort for that matter. If it seemed as though he spent the whole game looking at his shoes, its because usually he does. Not picking on the kid, its just the rest of the team is on a whole other level intensity wise.

I wouldn't go ahead and give it to EC. They play Friday night at Lewis county and then have to travel to Sheldon Clark Saturday for a 1:30 game.

haven't heard from anyone who attended the game yet.....Sounds like either Fleming is somewhat of a decent team, or once again EC was off from their usual shooting percentages. Does anyone have any stats??

Closer than I thought

It's played a Sheldon Clark High

Ok, now which is it? In the thread on best coaches in Ky. your all about Listerman. But if this team plays to level of their opponents he's not pressing the right buttons IMO

And, IMO if their 3's are falling they will throw a scare into the Royals. But they don't have the bench or the coaching that it would require to beat them.

My thoughts, and I'm not trying to take anything away from the rest of Rose Hill's kids, is until they at least get a third scoring option they are subject to get beat in almost any game they play. But I look for them to win this one fairly easy.

I thought East was better, but not 20 points better. West will be a 16th contender next year IMO.

Yes he has, and this kid has the potential to be one of the best to ever come out of the eastern end of Ky.. I just hope, (not because I'm an Elliott fan) that he puts in the effort to realize his full potential.

I agree, my previous statement was sarcastic. When is the next game that will provide the Royals with enough challenge to have the starters play 3 quarters or more???

Apparently!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scores straight out of the old UKIT, gotta love those home team tournaments where the home team is never challenged!!

Wow! 30 points, thats it?? Either there was some serious "D" played or the Tomcats were just terrible in this contest.

Yes, they are a great team, but at least wait until they, and the other 15 teams get out of their respective regions before we start talking state titles.
