Grant had 2 very solid players this year in Carr and Anglin but they were 6ft. and maybe 5ft 10, you need some solid size.

Wow, if you saw all the Louisville guards and saw Grants games with the area they played in you are a traveling man. I wish I either had your money or your energy. Lol

Wrong, South Oldam was a runner up also.

Holmes usually has two of the quickest kids on the floor which makes them harder to guard and more apt to be fouled. Tell me, would you rather guard a quick or slow kid?

Not sure on how long he's been there, but he sure has matured. He had some very questionable calls in the first half but he kept his composure and didn't let it affect his decision making, then late in the game when he was trying to hold the ball players took some quick and questionable shots, shook his head in amazement, called timeout and calmly explained in a firm manner score and time without putting unneeded pressure on his players. Great job coach Simpson!

From what I've heard if Grants bigger kids improve at all they will have a great chance at going to Rupp, but that's on paper the same way it was for Collins this year.

No reason to hate SK, they have split Oldam 3times and they still seem to win it on a regular basis. Imagine Scott county being split three ways, you think that might change their success rate just a little.

BGCAT you seem quite sensitive about coach Hicks and the fact that a lot of people seem to think he plays favorites, that's the consensus up around the 9th region and the schools he has coached at before, but everyone has a favorite.

That's true and again as I said Carr played really good in the district, looks like he should have an outstanding senior year.

I now have watched the video and it was an awesome performance, but I am pretty sure none of the players from SK were invited to the tryout either, my reference was about the best in the state, not the 32nd district.

I am sure it is a group of people that is not near as basketball smart as we all are.

Mr. Beal to this point is still the man, but Bolden has a great future.

Let us hope someone has a Revelation.

I researched rosters and was wondering how Hicks and whatever 5ft.10 4 man this squad would use to match up Combs and Bounds.

You have got to be kidding me, seems like yesterday.

Wow, back to to back 30+point loses for the Lady Braves after the Walton win, does make that win look like a huge upset regardless of how you analyze it.

What about Scot Draud and Troy Mckinley.

Anyone have final scores or updates on 8th region girls games.

Some of the guards you name can shoot it but who are they going to guard.

Would be a shoot out, as neither team plays great man defense. Should be fun to watch, I am rooting for SK but I predict that SO wins by 11.

I've not seen Carr play but you will not get many allstar invites playing Grants schedule. I wonder if the list was out before or after the Oldam game. Helton over Mavis was probably the fact he is 6ft.5. Don't know about Carr, but Mavis probably isn't quick enough to score against the bigger, quicker guards in the state.

Advice! Don't put hard pressure on Mcneil 70 feet from the basket. Once in the front court just contain him and make him beat you from the perimeter, I would think by now most coaches would realize he will beat you from the free throw line. After 28 games I am truly amazed that coaches continue to insist their guards pressure him until he either gets past them for a layup or draws a foul.

Carlton quit a few games back.

Agreed WV made some good adjustments from the last time they met. They realized that guarding the Kinmon kid off the dribble was not the best way to go, their zone was very effective, he had the ball in the middle of the floor very little if at all. Grants youth really showed up last night, but I do think with a few adjustments they could be a real solid team next year. Good luck to WV in the future.

Sorry!!!! I was very wrong!
