Anything?

Crickets... but as @ChickenWyngzsaid, they may be waiting on CC.

I believe he would have won it last year, hands down. But he’s got bigger goals that he sacrificed that for. 

And that ring says he achieved those. 

The list of teams you can't trust in March:

1. Arizona

2. Virginia

3. Purdue

Dragons want to exact revenge from last year's title game. That quest continues after a 6 point win over Woodford

I know he's not likely to win it, but IMO, Jerone Morton is Mr. Basketball.

Gimme the defending state champs by 4.

Proud of the Norse.

Side note, the Pep Band is getting a LOT of love on social media.

Perry started as a 7th Grader where he played in 31 games, scoring 638 points.  Following his 8th Grade year he had played in 63 games and netted 1,490 points before Kelly Coleman had played his first high school game in his 127 game career..  Perry has now played in 160 games and benefitted 520 points from the installation of the 3-point arc.  He still has the remainder of this State Tournament and all of next year to continue to build on his record.  Comparing Perry with Coleman is very much Apples and Oranges.  However, since the category simply reads - Most Points scored in a career, Hail to the new All-Time scorer in the Commonwealth.

One of the things Perry mentioned post-game yesterday. I believe he said "he (Coleman) didn't have the 3-point line."

I believe these massive crowds that we are seeing are a great representation of where Kentucky High School Basketball currently is standing right now. Loaded with Division 1 basketball recruits, some of them even getting offers from NCAA "blue bloods", and few even ranked highly on the national level!

We have a UK commit, a top-15 nationally ranked sophomore, the #1 scorer in KHSAA history, and much more talent. These games have not disappointed either, the first day was phenomenal, the 2nd day had a few more blowouts. 

If I were to guess, KHSAA won't be seeing these attendance numbers next year, or multiple years after. Especially if ticket prices continue to rise, it is getting out of hand to attend every session...

Those ticket increases are mostly caused by Ticketmaster's fees. 

Last night's attendance was 14,734, the largest session 4 number since 2009 (21,048).  That number blew me away, so I had to look:

Mason County vs. Shelby Valley

Anderson County vs. Elliott County

2 teams from the mountains, Mason County ( a team that always brings a ton), and Anderson County.

I think tonight's session could rival that with Male (large school), Douglass/GRC (large schools that are close), and Lyon County (The Travis Perry Tour).

GRC by 8.

Dragons by double digits.

Will Perry stay for his Sr. year and get to 5K points or leave for Prep School like others?

He’s already getting high D1 offers. Lyon Co will be one of the favorites in the state next year, and he’s playing for his Dad. I don’t see any way he’d leave. 

Broncos pressure causing some problems right now.

I wonder if Double Deuce is still "a little surprised" at people picking Lyon County?

Not sure why he was in the first place.
