mchsraiders

Don't know how basketball became part of this but Raider Rob does support football and there are 9 football players that play basketball as well.

Like i said it was a good post unt you put your 100-0 remark. The score shows that it was a tough one for the Raiders. You are right about the past being just that, the past, we need to move forward an respect what was accomplished the last two years and get behind these young men that are representing this county. I think the team played hard Friday night but they were up against a great team. Hopefully you won't have to be real upset with the next game when the Raiders play.

You would know about the 100-0 possible scores because you have been behind the wheel of many of these kinds of games. Not a bad post until you put the 100 -0 part, very classy.

No one will walk through any regional tournament. Whoever plays the best for 3 games will earn it. Mercer has already beaten Central once this year, they are good and both teams are different than they were on Dec. 1.

If Sewell does not win you could make up an award to make hime the Platinium winner like the ice skater from Russia did after the Olympics.

Aaron Watts has played against some of the toughest competition in the state this year and has shined on each occasion. McCreary is one of the top 20 in the state this year. Watts would be just as deserving as Sewell or Justice. IMO, I would not take either of the other two for Watts when you compare their all around games. They are both excellent and deserving if they win the award, but to say that if someone besides Sewell wins Mr. Basketball that they are not deserving to win this title is wrong.

It was a great match up of two very good point guards for both teams. I liked the fire and enthusiasm that Wilson for Corbin plays with. It is not cocky or taunting towards the other team at all. He looks as though he is having fun and getting his team fired up when he gets excited. Good luck to Corbin the rest of the season and post season.

It ended up being 31 - 21 in favor of Cobin, but alot of MC's free throws came in the last stages of the 4th quarter. Great game with an awesome atmosphere. I sure do hope there is a return match-up for these 2 this ball season.

I thought the first half was well called. I do not know if Coach P. would not let the refs ride the bus back home if they did not change the way they called the game:lol:JK. At one point of the 2nd half the foul shots were 30 - 9 in favor of Corbin. And this was the only way they stayed in the game. That is my rant about the officials now I will praise the sportsmanship showed by both teams towards each other throughout the game. Both teams have quality coaches on the sideline.

I guess I do have Raider tinted glasses, but I still think he did carry the ball (especially since it gave the ball back to the Raiders). The raiders had not struggled that bad to score this season. The pace had them very frustrated, this is totally attributed to Andrsons defense and gameplan. They are very well coached. Good luck the rest of the year Papa Pigskin.

I was not referring to you saying that they did not deserve to win but the few people that told you they did not deserve to win. Meant no slight to you as a Raider fan. It was an ugly game but that is the only way Anderson could keep the game managelable to put themselves in a place to win, they are well coached and athletic just seemed to have a tough time shooting.

I agree with Banker. It was definitely a carry. He put the ball on his hip, it was very clear that he did put the ball on his hip and it was the correct call. It does not matter at what point of the game it happens it was a good call. The officials were average but it in no way decided the outcome of the game. There was no foul on the play at the end when timout was called. Anderson called timeout and did not get a shot off to end the game.

The officiating had nothing to do with this win. Both teams played hard and Anderson Co. was able to dictate the pace of the game with their slow down offense and excellent defense. Do you not deserve to win just because you do not score above a certain amount of points? Anderson Co. is a very good team and it was a good win and a deserved win by the Raiders.

Central was worn down by the intense defensive pressure from Scott Co. Alot of missed opportunities by Central but alot of that can be attributed to the Cardinals, except the huge amount of missed free throws for the raiders. The Cardinals are the best team that I have seen this year to date. Hopefully the Raiders will learn from this experience and contiunue getting better for when it really matters.

I think it will be MCHS in a nail biter.

I do think McCreay is the best team in the region right now, on Dec. 1st they were not. You are 100% correct on the region being wide open come tournament time. When you are dealing with high school kids many factors come into play and anything can happen in high school sports.

Do the wins against Seneca, Hazard, and Male in Lexington not show that they can compete with and beat some really talented teams from across the state. I think the top 20 rating is very well deserved at this point.

It will be an electric atmosphere with two really good teams facing off for the first time in a long time.

You have now shown your true basketball knowledge, or lack thereof.

I would not call it a no show. The weather and road conditions got bad quick here on friday afternoon. I do not think it is worth risking the safety of players for a ballgame, even if the host team offers hotel rooms and dinner.

Will be praying for this young man and his family. It is gut wrenching to be in their position. Prayers for God's will and comforting hand upon the family and community from Monroe County.

I guess this is the second time that you are not going to talk about this topic. Congratulations to Aaron Watts on his all district selection. It is good to see players be rewarded for hard work and dedication. I will agree with Banker of the South and say that the coaching award was a nice parting gift. It is sad to see you are so envious of the basketball program. I will remind you that this is a football board. With all your knowledge of basketball you should join in or start a thread on the basketball board..

I am pointing out the fact that you always drag basketball into a football discussion and you down the basketball program. All sports teams in McCreary are treated equal. The football stadium does need some updates but they have a very nice fieldhouse and the football field is in excellent shape. There is a weight room, practice field etc. What else do you want from the administration that you so despise? We will hopefully not find out what the basketball team would do without those 2 players becasuse they have a great TEAM assembled and with hard work they will have a successful season. Would the football team have won a game without those 2 players? We will never know. Thankfully we do not live in the hypothetical world that you would like to live in. No one is challenging your vast knowledge of basketball. You are the one that needs to quit beating a dead horse and support all programs in the district.

Why do you always have to compare the football team with the basketball team at MCHS, this is a football board. The two players will not average more than 50% of the points for the basketball team (this shows what you know about basketball around you). That is the difference in the two programs; basketball has developed other players so they will be a complete team with several scoring options on their team, and no they will not feel the pain as much as you would like.:idunno:

I do not think that everyone feels the same as you do about how things are funded with the sports programs in the county. I think that every sports team would always like to have more. It is what you do on the field or court that counts. Many teams have done more with less. Quit whining about the football team always being shorted by the administration. Who do you think would be the right person should be for the job OLD wise one?:madman:
