  1. Brandon Hatton had a very good weekend for Kentucky Select. He was scoring almost at will. He scored 30 plus vs Team Toledo, 30 plus vs team SYF, and 38 vs Team Jordan. He shot the ball very well and no one could stop him from getting to the basket. I believe he was one of the better players that I saw in the 15u division even though he is 14u. Congrats to the entire Kentucky Select team they competed very well.
  2. I witnessed the incident. I will say I can't blame him for his reaction. The coach was cursing at Hatton using in appropriate language and threw a basketball at him. Hatton's dad went after him across the basketball game during play. However they did not kick him out, he was allowed to stay due to the nature of the incident and the coach being in the wrong for his behavior.
  3. I do believe alot of players from Holmes play with "swag" but I will also indicate I have seen some things that I would consider dirty, imo. Let me make myself clear, I am not indicating this as a whole team concept. I am just defending Dixie because by stating their tatics are dirty when your opposing team is doing the same thing, is hypocrisy.
  4. I don't think it would be respectful to come out and pinpoint which players I am speaking of. I am not taking away Holmes athletic ability by any means, but when we are watching them play we must be watching two different teams. They are a fantastic ball club no doubts there but to indicate that there is no dirty tatics I would disagree. I am not sure what their coaches teach, I am not at their practices as neither are you at Dixies. So I think clearly it wouldn't be fair to place blame of dirty playing necessarily on a coach. However if you read my post you responded to , nowhere did I indicate that Coach Henley taught those tatics. I simply stated that Holmes has that same reputation. I am speaking from what I have heard from other parents from different ball clubs. Obviously we are both entitled to our opinions. I can tell you though that several different basketball players from different schools through out the region have complained about dirty play from a few of the Holmes players and the names are always the same. Again I will state Congrats to Holmes on excellent ball playing.
  5. Holmes is too much for Boone County. I see Holmes taking this win easily by 14 points.
  6. I think Pike having a reputation as being somewhat thugish is stretching it just a little. I do agree his emotions sometimes take hold and you can see that frustration play out on the court. However I dont think that there is one team any of us could name that don't have other players react in a similiar manner. I also believe when you are on the floor playing a team who has multiple players that react with emotion as well, sometimes not always positive, you are going to get some of that back. I would like to see Pike gain some maturity , he has great potential. Holmes played an excellent game and hope they are able to advance to state. If they play as well as they did against Dixie, in the rest of the tournament, there will be no stopping them.
  7. That is interesting you make that comment considering Holmes has that same reputation. I guess somehow those dirty tatics that certain Holmes players use aren't a point of discussion because of their winning season?
  8. Plain and simple Hatton was off tonight. I don't think it was the pressure of this particular game, I just think he had an off night. Wes Smith played well for Dixie. I don't think Dixie could have beaten anyone in the ninth region tonight the way they played. Congrats to Holmes for making it through the first round. Ricardo is a nice player all around, very enjoyable to watch.
  9. I totally agree. Hatton is a well rounded in sports. I have witnessed him play football, basketball and baseball. I can honestly say I am not sure which sport he aspires above than the other. I think it would be a huge mistake for him to decide at such an early age.
  10. I would agree Clyde, storming into the refs room is not appropriate behavior. The officiating may have been autrocious but no excuse for poor behavior on a coach's part. This will just have to be a lesson learned for Dixie's JV coach. Kuddos to Ken for handling the situation as he did. I think every now and then a coach can lose their head and let their emotions take hold.
  11. I don't have a dog in that fight, but I would have to disagree. I am not going to discredit a win by Boone's JV team. However the refs in that game were deployable. I am not sure what the outcome would have been had there been different refs, but this was one of the worst officiated games I have ever witnessed.
  12. This is the final from Boone County on Senior night.
  13. Dixie looked very uninterested to be there. They had lots of turnovers, poor defensive efforts, no rebounding. It was just a very poor night of basketball for the Colonels. Cooper was in the game the whole night. The shift in score came with all the fouling in the last minute and half. Dixie Heights 45, Cooper 33 Cooper (4-22) -Langley 0 3 3, Klute 1 0 2, Bradley 5 3 21, Webster 1 0 2, Storey 0 1 1, Thompson 1 1 4. Totals 12 8 33. Dixie Heights (11-13) -Armbruster 0 2 2, Stahl 1 2 4, P. Stansberry 2 0 4, B. Stansberry 1 1 3, Wigger 0 1 1, Pike 3 2 8, Boone 1 2 5, Raleigh 1 8 10, Hatton 4 0 8. Totals 13 18 45. Cooper 4 12 9 8 -33 Dixie Heights 11 8 10 16 -45
  14. I heard Hatton is going out for baseball this year. I know he played short stop previously in summer ball. I heard his infield abilities are pretty good. Is there a possibility he could be playing second base?
  15. I am surprised by this one. I thought Conner would win by a much larger margin. Does anyone have box score?
  16. I agree Clyde. I was somewhat dissapointed with Dixie. They didn't seem to have any spark last night. Good win for Cov Cath.
  17. Hatton is 14 years old. When he is a senior he will not be 19 until basketball season is over, in fact he will not be nineteen until about three weeks before graduation. This is coming from his dad who I talk to on a frequent occasion.
  18. I think Dixie will take the win on this one, in a very close game.
  19. I think HC is going to give Cov Cath some trouble , but I see Cov Cath pulling out a win. Cov Cath 61 HC 50.
  20. I think this will be a fun game to watch. I take the Cougars on their home court in a close game.
  21. I think Holmes is too much for Highlands. I give Holmes the win by 8.
