  1. I think it is way to difficult to try to figure out how freshmen will play or even respond when they go on the road. I really liked the first half at Arkansas; thought they were really playing well. The last 9 minutes of the second half the game really bogged down. It became difficult to score for either team and the fouls were not helping. The only thing that I really wish they would fix, their reaction to fouls and/or bad situation. Facial expressions and hands in the air. They need to get past that. Its all part of the game. When the post season gets here and we see where they have to play and who they have to play; then I will predict how far they can go.
  2. Henderson, along with Madisonville have given Hoptown scares the past 2 years in the regional tourney. Hopkinsville plays Madisonville tonight so that will give us an idea if the Maroons can stay with them.
  3. It was a much closer game, actually tied at the start of the 4th quarter. I don't have the actual free throw stats but I think at one time Hoptown was 2 for 18.
  4. Hopkinsville at Madisonville has been cancelled.
  5. Final. Henderson lead the entire way. Caldwell struggled scoring, got some open looks but just rushed their shot. Henderson and Hopkinsville are clearly the two best teams in the second region.
  6. The middle school is on the same campus, buildings are side by side. Have not heard details about the tournament they are hosting. Roof damage, several classrooms were flooded as well that were around the gym.
  7. I like this so much, I had to repost it to like it twice!!
  8. I would say over the last ten years; softball has been their best sport. Twice they have won the all A regional tournament. They won the 7th district tournament also in that period. Softball dropped off this past year, but still have some young talent but they are in a very tough region.
  9. ASB I understand what you are saying. I have been looking for an interview with Arsenal Tech's player, Trey Lyles. I saw the interview live on air on channel 6 in Paducah as they were covering the Marshall County Hoop Fest. I would love to share it because it might share some light on what has happened to recruiting these athletes. During the interview, Trey mentioned Cal and looking forward to playing for him because of his connections to the NBA. I completely understand this young man's dream is to get into the NBA. But I really would have liked to hear him say something about playing at the University of Kentucky. He never mentioned UK. Mentioned Coach Cal, mentioned high draft picks and the NBA. If he did; I may have missed it. I personally am ready for these athletes to go directly to the NBA, the D league, or whatever. Then we can return to college basketball. I would like to see players who want to play at UK because its UK. Sadly those days might be over as well. The one and done rule is bad for NCAA. IMO
  10. Scribe, I just hope the guy with leaf blower got to where he was going after the game. It sounded as if he was in a hurry! Or as you would say, "unbelievable"!
  11. I had to check the local paper to make sure it was correct. The Maroons had 16 different kids score and the leading scorer had just 12. I have seen Dawson play. The have one senior and one junior. The rest of the team is freshmen. That freshmen class will be a decent group if they don't get so discouraged by what is going to be a very difficult season.
  12. University Heights, Hopkinsville, and Christian County are all in the same district as well as same county. It's very difficult to win that district but for the rest of the region it is very difficult to win the region. In 2000, Hopkins County Central won the region. In 2001, Madisonville won the region. Since then, UHA, Hopkinsville and Christian County have won the region. Great preview Scribe, I would like to see one more stat and I know you have it. Regional runner up numbers. Just curious to see who has the most?
  13. Most coaches love to say, "Boys I hope we are practicing on Thanksgiving Day". I think most would stick with that also. Practice, which would most likely be a Thursday night walkthrough anyway. Then get up on Friday morning and leave. Plan the trip with scheduled stops. Know where your going to stop and eat. Frankfort to Mayfield; you also get an hour back when traveling west. Planning is the key, nothing worse than getting there way to early and waiting. Charter bus would make the travel much better.
  14. Execution is hitting the nail on the head. I didn't see the game but did listen closely at the start of the 4th quarter when Caldwell took over on their own 5. They passed and ran right down the field. They were at the Murray 4 in 6 or 7 plays. Now from there; Murray defense stood up. 4 plays and Caldwell gained one yard on one run attempt. The other 3 plays were in the air and all incomplete. If Caldwell scores there, most likely they win. It would have cut the lead to 6 and all momentum goes to Caldwell's side. Caldwell had 3 possessions in the 4th quarter; all stalled in Murray territory. The last one was an interception in the endzone. I'm not going to give credit to the weather. It goes to Murray's defense.
