Sounds like your a little worried since you are so concerned with Elliott.

This is just another attempt to try and bash Elliott by throwing the fact that some of our boys were held back. I know for a fact that several Scott County and Holmes players were held back, and schools have done this for years so I dont see how it has anything to do with the so called "legend." Its people like this that just makes my love for Elliott basketball stronger because I can see how intimidated people are at a small mountain teams success.

Making the regional tournament after a losing season, is a good run. It takes one game to get to the tourny and they got there. Thought you said Russel was going win the first game againest Elliott? Ill take Elliott by as many as they feel like putting up that night.

I dont know much about the 15th except for Shelby Valley; is there anyone who has a good shot at beating them? I hope they win, I am an Elliott County fan and love to see mountain teams do well. Would also love to see and Elliott-Shelby rematch in the second round of the state tourny.

Im imagining Russell wished they had a rabbits foot in each pocket as well.:thumb:

Yes this should be a good game. I wish though that Bath was on Elliotts side of the bracket; I would love to see these two teams play. But they still could in the finals.

Great job boys, couldnt make it tonight due to being sick; but I was listening. Im excited for the draw tomorrow..... Lets make it 3 Regional tournys in a role and end with a state championship!!!!

Wow another close game between these two schools. Heres the scores from all there games this year. Dec 29 Fairview 61 Ashland 50 Jan 2- Ashland 54 Fairview 53 Jan 20 Fairview 55 Ashland 54 Tonight Ashland 53 Fairview 52 Talk about a good match up. Out of four games they both won two and the last three look like the same game with a one point win in the 50's. This is great basketball!

Wow, thanks. These boys are very special to us and I am glad you can see why.:thumb:

I was at the game tonight, East played hard and did what they had to, to win. Unfortunately they came up short. They have nothing to hang their heads about. The refs? They were really bad. Billman obviously has it out for Ferguson and the Technical was Jonathan was sick of being rode like a horse all night. East may feel like they were robbed, but let me assure you they got away with more traveling than AAA. So the refs were really off their game. Elliott gutted it out. Perhaps at time Elliott was 1/2 a step slow, but East did a wonderful job of controlling the tempo as they stated in pregame interviews that they wished to do. Congratulations East Carter on a good comeback in their season and best of luck in the future. Good Luck to Elliott onward on their march to Rupp.

Elliott County

Let me say that in a different way. East will be out to take Elliott down and though I think they are dangerous, they have not proved they can play with Elliott. I wouldnt be surprised if it was a close game but I still believe Elliott will win by 25. :thumb:

I agree, East hasnt proved much to me. Ill take Elliott by 25.:thumb:

Nice post...:thumb:

Well West is playing better. Even though East is playing better they have not been what I thought they were going to be this year.

Your right; its going to be a tough game for Elliott playing East in the first round of the district on East's home floor. Though East did not have the season I thought they would have (They were picked #2 in the region) I still think they could be dangerous, and I am sure they will give everything they got to be able to beat Elliott. However I think Elliott has no problem playing in these high pressure games, and have been in this situation many times in the past, and in the end I think they will pull it out. Im always more nervous about the opening of the district, even more then the regional final. With that said, I think Elliott can beat any team in the state if they play their game. It will be a great tourny this year and I cant wait to see how Elliott stacks up against Scott or Holmes or whoever they play. (if they make it to the state which by all honesty they should)

Wow, sounds like a great game. Im kind of surprised it was so close.

Great job boys!!!!! Now lets get through the district, region, then Rupp and bring that state championship to Elliott!!!!!!! (not asking for a lot am I?)

You are so right.

Perhaps if you learned how to drive?.....:thumb:

Would you give it a rest.... We know how you feel about Elliott, we know you want us to know how you feel... so okay we acknowledge your view... Now let us enjoy this article and our boys.. We are not nor ever have bashed Holmes so chill out and stop obsessing over Elliott.

Nice post. You know so many people want to knock what Elliott has done and how good they are. Many people are just waiting for this class to graduate so they can talk about how bad we are. But people dont understand that these last four years have been so special for us and we are just proud and grateful for our little team. Like the article said, in a County were there is economical hardship, our Lions have given us something to believe in and to be proud of. Every year there are so many schools who have great teams; once they graduate they simply reload. We cant do that, and we know that. Thats what makes this group of boys even more special. They will always be remembered not just in Elliott County Basketball lore, but they will be remembered by the state for many many many years to come.

Thought you was finished dogging Elliott and their fans?:idunno:
