I have to say the 14th officiating is interesting. Especially when one of your best wears a belt with their pants, been a long time since I have seen that. In a high school game anyway, I see it all the time in my son's rec league, just not in a regional semifinal game. For all of that complain about the 12th region officiating, bite your tongue.

To be the MAN, you have to beat the MAN!

Unless Colby Long can average 30 next year, the next 1000 point scorer may take a while.

If Danville wins and Lincoln Beats Boyle tomorrow night that will make Lincoln, Danville and Garrard all 4-2 with their losses being against each other, does anyone know the tiebreaker.

The 12th has 5 or 6 teams who could all compete within the top 25, but I do not think there is a team in the 12th that could compete within the top 10. However, you have to remember that West Jess beat Lex Cath a few weeks back. The 12th Region tournament should be a blast. Other than the 47th each district could put 2 teams into the Regional Tourney that could win it. There will be a team left out of the 45th and the 48th that right now you could make a case for winning the Region.

Lincoln County's Ethan Spurlin scored his 1000th point Tuesday night during their game against Pulaski SW. Congratulations to a great kid and a great player.

Terrible scenario for Lincoln, SW played a box and 1 and Lincoln was content with sticking Spurlin in the lane and letting the others Jack up 3's all night. The few they hit in the first half was fools gold, 3 for 3 looks good in the first quarter 3 for 10 for the game does not. With all that said the game was still in reach midway through the 4th quarter when Lincoln just completely quit, I know that sounds harsh but anyone who was there would have to agree. It was very similiar to the Garrard County game @ Garrard Co. Looking on the bright side, we now know how Lincoln can not beat SW.

For whatever reason Cameron Burgess could not get any clock last year. Did not dress JV and did not play hardly any in Freshman games. I have heard the reason was because of a bad attitude but I honestly never saw it in the kid. Oh, well like someone said LC's loss is definitely Danvilles gain.

Lincoln will not win on pure talent this year, They will have to get much better to repeat.

I would not rule out Jeff Jackson just yet. At least until you hear from him or Somerset that it is not going to happen. Pretty reliable source says that it is still in the works.

Anything shaking on the Somerset Job?

Word I am hearing is that Coach Masten told his team after the game that he is resigning.

Congratulations to Noah Keeton 6'-2" Guard from Lincoln County for signing with Northwood University in West Palm Beach, Florida. Rollie Massimino ( NCAA Champion Villanova 1985 ) is the coach at the NAIA school, which according to the article plans to go DII in two years. I am happy for this kid, I loved watching him play. He did not get as much pub as some other kids but was a solid basketball player. I think Rollie definitely got a diamond in the rough on this one. http://www.amnews.com/public_html/?module=displaystory&story_id=40215&format=html Signing Story http://www.amnews.com/public_html/?module=displaysection&section_id=100&format=html Signing Video http://www.amnews.com/public_html/?module=displaystory&story_id=40331&format=html Rollie Massimino Q n A

Great to see Noah Keeton from Lincoln County get a little recognition. This kid has been passed on for all the all star games and gets almost no pub. Talked with his dad the other day and he said that he is thinking about going to a small school in Florida. How this kid was not looked at more blows me away. IMO, he is one of the best pure shooters in the state.

SNOWCAT, I disagree with you on the corner comment. I have never seen Keeton back down from handling the basketball ( ie. Madison Central ). I think it may be that Jackson wants the ball in Youngs hands? Most of the games I have seen like Boyle and the other night against Dunbar Lincoln has Edgington back with Young, which doesn't make sense to me. I love watching Keeton and Young with the ball in the open court.
