Where did you have Lincoln before thier loss last night?

If Lawrence goes undefeated in regular season then they will most likely play the loser of this Friday's McCreary Central at Rockcastle Co game in the first round.

I don't think too many parents are concerned about how well their kids play against other freshmen, I think they are looking at giving the kid another year to play at the end of those four years instead of at the beginning. I think there is a much better chance they will get some notice from college's if they get that extra year beyond what would have been their senior year. If it means a better chance for your kid to play college sports then I completely support holding back. Age doesn't make any difference in college and generally I don't see how an extra year of maturity could hurt either.

I remember McCreary having a very good 8th grade team and those kids are seniors now. They looked to have a very solid 4 players to go along with Watts who was already starting on the high school team. Roark and the point guard were two of the four on that team. What happened to the others? Is Chitwood one of the players that was on that team?

I say Wayne in a close game 24-20.

Watts ran for 3TD's and passed for 1 while Roark ran for 3 ? That's 42 points without any pat's or 2pt conversions. Did Mccreary get penalized two points somehow?

Didn't Wayne beat the Raiders twice last season and return nearly everyone.

Yes it was. Both semi's are tonight weather permitting.

I think they got the best draw, just not as good of a draw as they thought.

I can't find a score for the last game of the evening. Did it rain them out?

I say throw your best. Depending on the schedule it may come down to your #3 vs the other teams #3. If they saved their better pitchers for the finals then they were lucky it didn't burn them and they get the advantage. You may find youself in the finals but against someone who knocked off the best team because they thought they could save the pitching and it burned them.

Wouldn't you rather have length. Assuming two players have equal "hops" aren't you more interested in how high a player can reach with his arms over how tall he measures at the top of his head. Don't you rebound, block shots, shoot and play defense more with your arms than your head (physically speaking)?

According to the Sweet 16 radio network Elliott's win over Shelby Valley was his 400th. The loss to Holmes would have been his 366th.

Southwestern loses Woolridge, Jones, Young, Muse and Fothergill. They may struggle quite a bit next year. No way would I put them in the top five of the region.

My estimates from largest to smallest Grayson Graves West Jessamine Adair Eastern Corbin (Hard to judge, seems like they had more fans scattered through the lower arena than other schools) Hazard Central

Wow 74 out of 80 people on the contest thread picked Adair over Grayson. I don't think anyone got all four games right for Wed. Maybe one person got them right but I think all six who picked Grayson also had Hazard.

I think the difference may be experience. Hazard won a game at Rupp last year and has played several games in the All A the past two years. They are much more prepared to handle the environment than West Jess. is. I predict Hazard gets out to a solid lead. In the second half W Jess closes the gap but can't catch Hazard. Hazard pulls back away in the last two minutes and wins by 10-13.

Elliott by 15 and maybe even stretching the margin into the lower 20's late in the game.

1 Hazard 1 Grayson 1 Central 1 Eastern 1 Catholic 1 Holmes 1 Shelby Valley 1 Elliott 2 Grayson 2 Eastern 2 Holmes 2 Elliott 3 Eastern 3 Holmes 5 Holmes TB 109

I thought 14th region officials were calling the 12th Region?

Lincoln County 2-9 free throws McCreary 7-11 free throws including 4 of4 in the final minute Work on those free throws kids

McCreary has played in two or three region finals since the 1983 team. Wouldn't those games be bigger games than this game. Regional finals > Region semi's.

In 1983 McCreary beat Somerset in the first round of the region 46-43. They beat Pulaski in the finals, not sure about the semi's but I'm positive about Somerset and Pulaski

Lafayette over Franklin County isn't a bigger upset?

West 74 Wayne 71 in overtime
