Harrison County will be fine.  Certainly not as good as this year, but still in the upper middle of the region.  They will have a new gym similar to Montgomery County in the next 3 years.  

Harrison is only returning 1 player that was in the rotation by the end of the year. I believe they will have a hard time getting out of the district over the next few years.

Senior, Mason Smiley, with a last second 3 at the end of regulation to send it to overtime. His first points of the night. Went back and watched the replay, and it looked like the ball left his hand with 0.1 showing on the clock. 2 great games at the Fieldhouse last night!

I would think Van Isaac (Former Adair HC) would be the heir apparent. I think he was MS HC this past year but could be mistaken.

Simon Clouse HC at Nicholas would be a good phone call too. They are both alumni.

Agree. I believe it will most likely be Van Isaac but Simon Clouse should also be considered as well.

Anything?

Scuttlebutt heard at Rupp last week was Daniel Brown possibly returning to his alma mater. Take that for what it's worth.

Scott had to shoot in the 20% range all night, could not buy a bucket. 

I'd say that is pretty accurate. Will Furnish blocked the first couple drives to the basket and it affected Scott for the rest of the game.

Like we’ve talked about over and over, the 10th is very weak. GRC would have to totally not show up one night for them to not win the region, and taking it a step further that alone will attract kids. Knowing you have a glaring path to Rupp each year!

Agree. I don't see anyone being able to compete with Clark this year, even Mason!

Any chance Kentucky can play themselves into a 7 seed or better?

Sounds like Lunardi had them slotted as a 9 seed last night, against Purdue.

Matt Jones said on post game show that best case scenario, they could play themselves to a 6 seed. I don't see them beating Arkansas at their place or winning SEC tourney. Just happy to be off the bubble for now! 

Coach Adam Reed on KSR this morning: "We're gonna win tonight by 6-7 points, then we are going to win district.."

Harrison - Kendall 26, Furnish 16, Custard 14, Harris 6, Smiley 4, Wilson 1

C Hardin - Decker 36(10 3's), Fredrickson 8, Stith 7, Jaggers 6, Robbins 5, Hobbs 2 

Final from Cynthiana.

To add on the ridiculous Ticketmaster fees, you have to account for the concession pricing. $5 Bottle of Water, $6 Soda, $6 Ice cream cone(6 year old son broke me there throughout the week).

Could you buy them at Rupp this year?

 

They had a hut right outside the security walk through that you could buy tickets at. Not sure what the cost was there.

I was watching it on a stream and the camera caught the sideline view. It happened as time expired and players were walking off the court. From baseline view, it definitely shows the player initiating contact but the referee feeding into it and escalating the incident. Looks bad on both player and ref IMO.

Good for Bracken! Congratulations on a hard fought win. These guys must like OT!

That was awesome. Heck of a game!

13th Region Championship, North Laurel vs Knox Central, will be on WYMT.com tonight at 7.

Two tickets being punched today. Anyone know if 1st or 2nd region championship is being streamed?

I believe I saw a tweet about the first few minutes of this game being played with a girls basketball?!?! And then a delay to find a boys basketball. Can anyone confirm?

I agree 100%.  Making the decision as a Coach that you can't stop them and you can't foul anymore and the only way to do that is to hold the ball was Gutsy as Hell.  Think about if BC loses, Reed gets crucified for that decision, maybe rightfully so.

 

We can use "if" all day. If they lost after stalling, it would be the same, he would be crucified for taking them out of their style of play too early. None of it matters though, they got the W so I can agree that he made the right call and deserves credit! Good, hard fought Win for the Polar Bears.

I believe Davie is the difference in this one. Campbell by 5.

I don’t think it was a good move honestly. They were up 11 when they started holding the ball. Almost lost the game. If they kept scoring very easily could of ended in regulation with a double digit win. 

I'm with you. I don't believe that is Bracken's style of play at all. Was successful the whole game until they began to stall. Those boy's like to score!
