This is the first year I remember where any of the top 12 could easily be in the regional tournament

How do you play with Taylor but get blew out by Barbourville?

Game was over from the start

The lead was around 12 with 4 min left.. Cordia could've made a run. Keita fouled out with a few seconds left in the 3rd off a questionable call IMO.

Cordia pulled starters with about 6 min left in 4th.

Rockcastle winning the coin flip in the 47th district probably gave a nice boost, not to mention they get the district on their home court. They'll look to be in the region for the first time in a few yrs. Probably some excitement right now. They have a solid squad and return a lot of talent next year.

Great win for WJ.. Coach Kelley seems to always have them coached up at this time of the yr.

Mad Central vs Wayne is at 330

Knox Central plays Somerset

Sheldon Clark is in the Martin County School District

A bit off subject to the game but i read where Dylan James dad was named superintendent for Martin Co today.. That could change things for Mercer Co next yr..

How would this "administrator" know anything about them if they hadn't enrolled? Talking to athletes before they are enrolled in your school is a no no correct?

As of now, they're still enrolled at Pulaski

To revisit my initial post, Mercer FG% 24/40 (60%) 3pt 11/19 (58%) FT% 10/19 (53%) PTS: Faulkner 22, James 15, Hager 12, Dow 7, Mink 6, Souder 6, Davis 1 Reb: Dow 8, Faulkner 6, Hager 5, James 4, Davis 3, Souder 1 ---------------- Pulaski, FG% 22/40 (55%) 3pt 5/11 (45%) FT% 9/11 (81%) PTS: Hall 18, Sylvester 17, Powell 11, Elmore 9, Gregory 2, Stevens 1 Reb: Elmore 5, Sylvester 4, Hall 3, Powell 2, Gregory 2

Mercer seemed to shoot the ball well tonight, particularly from 3. I would be curious on the % and how it compares to the season. Mercer has a great team & can grow a lead so quickly with a few missed shots by the opposing team.. A lot of scoring options makes them very tough to defend.

The prep school teams will feature the likes of Miles Bridges Thon Maker Jarred Vanderbilt Sacha Killeya Jones Josh Jackson Deandre Ayton Trevon Dural Billy Preston

10:00 Somerset vs Franklin Simpson 11:30 McCreary Central vs Clinton County 1:00 Barbourville vs Waggener 2:30 Huntington Prep vs Sunrise Christian 4:00 Southwestern vs Owensboro 5:30 Pulaski County vs Bell County 7:00 Prolific Prep vs Virgina Episcopal 8:30 Athletes Institute vs Advanced Prep Institute 10:00 Victory Prep vs Hillcrest Academy

Have yet to see Mercer but 100% agree with you about that on SW

Southwestern did play and beat Lafayette in an uptempo game. Southwestern pretty much controlled it. I would expect Mercer to do the same. Lafayette does have a nice team though with a deep bench and certainly think it will be a good game.

I understand, just more so wondering what the two who moved up had done to earn that when losing a head to head battle, who unlike Rock beat a top 3 team Wayne Co. Hopefully Pulaski will be able to build off some good wins they've had to this point. It seems like they've been adding players to the rotation or had injuries all year. Hopefully Friday they'll be 100% and a set rotation moving forward. I enjoy the rankings and appreciate your work!

If you're going to have Pulaski behind Lincoln and Boyle, the logic could be to put Rockcastle ahead of them for now since they won the only H2H meeting unlike Lincoln or Boyle.
