Was it close the whole game? Was GC ever in the lead?

How important is it to win the District Championship? Whether you win or lose, you still go to the Regional Tournament. Is it more important to win the first round then it is to win the championship?

Who is retiring, leaving, or being asked to leave?

It's going to be a packed house. It's going to be a good game.

Is it really fair to decide to hire within before the position is even vacant? Doesn't automatically determine that qualified coaches will not even be considered for those jobs?

I wanted to post this in this forum even though th source is actually a girls' coach. Coach guffey of GCHS drives his own bus to away games. How often has this occured? Did it occur more often a few decades ago? Do any other coaches do this?

Grant has more talent than Walton. Walton is playing well rights now. Grant County is struggling.

Whos going to win?

How will the game be played?

Did Cody Kinmon play?

No. And this will be the answer to that question forever.

It's important to let the kids have fun with this stuff. The students at my school are just starting to get the idea of what a student section is supposed to be. I think its funny when they yell "Push It," over a bad call. And yes they are actually yelling 'Push It.' Let the edgier stuff go as long as there is no profanity or extreme innuendo.

I hate it when the refs say during the pre game that they will not issue warning for unsportsmanlike behavior and then warn a player about talking trash, slapping the floor after a call, or clapping in another player's face.

Is the guy from Heritage Academy planning to stay? Was he kind of thrown into the coaching role? Is Sharp from Silver Grove going to be looking elsewhere?

I dont think you understand. Every game played in the state of KY has everything to do with the KHSAA-- period. Both coaches were aware of the situation, and the S/A has apoligized in person and in writing. Sounds to me that the administration attempting to ban may be incompetent to administrate??

Or they were just trying to enforce a rule. Chances are that if the studentwas banned, then they must have committed an illegal act on school grounds. As an educator I know that bans such as these are only used in cases of drug dealing, weapons, or sex.

Grant didn't utilize their superior strength tonight. Davis and Prince should have knocked some people over.

Game is tonight at GCHS. It should be a good one. I think GC has a more talented team and Walton has played beyond their potential in a couple of district games. Walton also plays very well at GCHS. David and Prince will have to play good in order for GC to win.

Coldiron has regressed the past two years. That is why he did not go to the state tourney last year. He is still in the top 3, but is not as good as he was last year. Twice this year I have seen a short, somewhat heavy man officiating varsity ball. He looks older, kind of like a mafia guy. I think his name is Marlo or Moe. I haven't seen him the previous three years I've been in this region. Does anyone kow who this guy is and if he's been around awhile?

Watkins is a good ref. He does tend to glare at players after he calls a foul on them though.

Is there any real rule that prohibits a senior from playing on the JV team?

I agree the Demons have lost way to many games in that 3rd quarter, and rebounding is a weakness they definately need to work on. The rebounding situation needs to turn around and quick districts are no that far off. The good news is they have the players that have size, and they have players that have the speed to get to the ball. Its just a matter of getting them to think rebound before thinking transition everytime.

If you look at how WTown plays you see that their offense is very guard oriented. They shoot a lot of threes and jumpers. From what I've seen, their shooting ability is great in the first half but they have a difficult time maintaining the high FG% in the second half. In order for them to win, they need to D up and build a good lead at half time, so they can grind it out and hang on for the victory. OR.. they need to use Vice more often. He posts up and fades away from the basket. Vice is really not a huge offensive threat. Therefore when the 3's don't fall, the players attempt to drive to the rim and force off balanced shots. Last night I thought that Anglin played great, expect for about a three possession period in the fourth where he forced to bad shots and fouled twice.

Is this still an actual rivalry. The last time that Grant lost to WTown was Jan 22, 2005. They are two different programs going in two different directions. Are we hanging on to the past and grasping a ruvalry that does not really exist.

Grant wins by about ten. The last time that WTown beat Grant was I believe 2005, possibly 2004!!! How can we continue to refer to this as a rivalry. I realize the geographic nature of the county but, if Grant always wins, where is the rivalry? Grant is more of a rival to Walton and maybe Simon Kenton before it is a rival to Wtown. If one team continues to dominate the other, then is it still a true rivalry?

He might be one of the better players in the region let alone 6th man. You can't stop his stroke. His intensity is irreplaceable.

Grant vs. Wtown is still going to happen.

Another example of why soccer should be banned in high school.

They're just not that talented a group. Gorby is above average but the team cannot handle any pressure. They lack a true point guard. There's not much coming up either, not until 6th Grade.

As one looks at KCCt Scores, Plan Test Results, Grade, GMADE, and academic indexes located on KDE Website, one finds that WTOWN is slightly behind Walton in academics. Communnity values, geographic location, and lack of diversity may contribute to the differences in scores, but not lack of academic challenge.

Courtney Sandlin came to WV last year. Her familiy moved her from Williamstown mainly for academics. She does well academically and wasn't being challenged at Williamstown. She still lives in that area but her parents bring her to and from WV each day. She is a very sweet gal!

Wasn't being challeneg academically? Give me a break. A classic case of parents putting too much emphasis on their child's school athletic career. I can only imagine what my dad would have said if I asked to move from Bellevue to some other school.
