Congrats Bulldogs on the W over a very good Elliott Co team. Ricardo and Elijah were just too much for the Lions to handle. Listening on the radio earlier today, I felt Rico's defense on Ferguson was the difference in the game. He was the best all around player on the floor. Good luck to all of the Elliott County seniors in whatever life brings them. They are truly a special group that will be remembered forever in EC history.

Anyone know who got Sweet 16 MVP and made all tournament team?

As far as the game... Ridge and Morrison were studs for the Jackets tonight.

Congrats Bulldogs! The state title is coming back to nky and Holmes becomes the only current 9th region team with a state title!!!!! This team showed a lot of character throughout the game. Down 10 in the 3rd quarter and they come back to take the lead. Face adversity in both overtimes but continue to knock down big shot after big shot. Holmes deserved to win and this has been a long awaited celebration for Covington Holmes faithful. I'm especially happy for Holmes coach Wimzie who had his state title robbed from him in '78. :dancingpa

Wow what a comeback by Holmes...12-2 run to close the 3rd...39-37 Holmes heading in to 4th

Pittman grabbed the jersey of a Central player as he went to run after grabbing a rebound.

Central has clearly been the quicker team of the two and played much stronger early on. Patterson seemed to get in Pittman's head and frustrate him in the first half.

Patterson/Wilson have played strong down low for Central both scoring and rebounding and Morrison outside from 3.

Watching on ICN6 here in NKY...Holmes is settling for too many jumpers early on. I believe they're 3 for 16 from 3 point land? Rice looked decent for the Dogs with 7 points.

Great job Bulldogs. Now bring that big trophy back to NKY!!

I just really can't see anyone in the state beating this Holmes team right now. If Holmes stays focused like they have been all tournament, they win comfortably. Holmes 64 Central 49
