HCBreds

It's amazing how poorly kids shoot free throws anymore. Should make at least 70%, and many teams are fortunate to make over 50%. Looks like that hurt HC tonite.

Flu caused cancellation of HC schools today. Thompson is a victim.

Harrison County defeats Scott on the Hilltop. No details.

Call me old school. I don't like all tourney teams, especially for teams that advance to the regional. I especially don't like them when the head coach is left to pick his team's representative(s). I guess in this day of individualism, it's about right to have individual awards in the ultimate team sport. Ugh.

I spent 4 great years at PC. Loved coaching and teaching there. Made lots of good friends. I think a lot of Keaton and his family and think he is very capable, given the chance. However, if what I heard about how the crowd treated Coach Cravens on Tuesday is true, those fans should be ashamed of themselves, adults or students. Evidently, it was bad enough that his wife left in tears. I'm certain I had many detractors there in my tenure, but nothing as overtly hateful and hurtful as that. Shame on you.

Here goes: Campbell over Bracken 68-54 Harrison over GRC 54-52 Brossart over MoCo 56-55 Augusta over Robertson 75-66 Harrison over Campbell 63-62 Brossart over Augusta 66-58 Harrison over Brossart 52-49 Hey, blood's thicker than water. Good luck Little Brother and HC!

Montgomery vs Brossart Augusta vs Robertson I'm sure GRC likes their draw...Harrison probably does too.

Looks like some potentially great first round match-ups in the 10th Region Tournament at Mason County this year. Winners--Augusta, Campbell Co., Harrison Co., Montgomery Co. Runners-up--Brossart, Bracken Co., GRC, Robertson Co.

Tom Wendt at Owensboro Apollo in the 1970s. Tom Boerwinkle at MMI in the 50s.

I believe the final was 70-55. Dillion Pulliam was a DNP for the Breds. Sprained ankle suffered in game-day shoot-around.

Just watched the first half...took advantage of the opportunity to take care of my grandson. Uninspired effort by the Breds vs an inspired effort by Bourbon. Colonels played like the underdog with a chip in their shoulder. Not intimidated by the Breds. Undersized, but controlled the glass on both ends in first half...led by 5 at halftime. Colonels played a 3-2 zone and stifled HC. Made Breds beat them from perimeter...weren't able to shoot them out of the zone.

Wrong Jenkins. Jerry's grandson is Brock, a reserve guard. DJ Jenkins is not related at all.

Early in the third, DJ Jenkins on a breakaway, attempted a backwards lob to Thompson. Simple layup would have put Breds up 12. Instead, Thompson missed dunk, hung on rim and attempted to dunk the miss. Technical foul. Two made FTs by Nicholas, then a trey on the next possession. 5 pt game. Another 3 30 seconds later and it's a two point game. The two players involved in the ill-advised SportsCenter play didn't see the floor again. If those guys would play the game the right way, FOR THE TEAM, they could be pretty good. Too much individualism and too much emphasis on style points by some of these guys.

Harrison jumped ahead 12-2 and never looked back. Running clock in the last 5 minutes of the game, played in the Friendly Confines of the Panther Den in Augusta. A balanced attack for the Breds, coupled with an off night by Bach led the margin. I don't have any stats.

Read in the Lexington Herald that there was quite the ending to this one. Mason's Butler fouled shooting a three at the buzzer, followed by a technical foul in the Fleming coach. Five FTs with no time on the click. Wow! How is Coach Lindsey doing at the helm of the Lady Royals?
