38th District Tournament Draw
Won't happen. Classes kill rivalries which kill crowds. Couldn't afford Rupp. If you think any different you obviously have not experienced classes. Check football crowds.

Robertson County 49 Pendleton County 47
Possible change at PC? I assumed they would be down a bit after the past two graduating classes but man...pretty disappointing season. Don't see them beating Harrison Co in the district tournament.

Got hurt last Friday against Lafayette. Believe he dislocated his elbow.

38th District Tournament Draw
What is stupid is that last comment. One class is what makes it great!! Ask Indiana how it's worked out since they changed.

Cordia Rumors
I'm surprised anything that comes out of Cordia surprises anyone.

39th District Tournament Draw
If I'm Nicholas and Robertson I'd never vote to seed. At least have a chance to get to the regional and make money. That's based on Harrison and PC drawing each other.

39th District Tournament Draw
So long Augusta...great run.
-
Montgomery County 89 Augusta 59
Augusta just doesn't have enough to win the region. Bach is a great player but not enough supporting cast. After this year I would assume that Augusta takes a huge step backwards in the 10th.

38th District Tournament Draw
Blind draws are stupid...plain and simple. It makes the regular season useless. If you have two 20 win teams vs. two 5 win seasons, no way should the two 20 win teams have to play each other to move on. Why play district games at all if no seeding?

Scott County 69 Bryan Station 57
Scott Co will win this district..again. The big game will be Station vs. Henry Clay. The district is at Station. Hopefully Jordan Green will get the ok to play before then. If not, I see Station winning that one.

8th Region top four?
One of THE BEST gyms in the state! Awesome facility. Unfortunately for the 8th, if Hop town comes out of the 2nd, it will be one and done.

Mason County/Montgomery County prediction/ canceled
I have not seen Mason this year. How are their guards? I would assume they would have an advantage inside.

Scott County 72 Franklin County 41
So you are telling me that you take the summer serious? Summer is nothing more than getting experience. One cannot base an upcoming season on what happens during the summer. Example...as you said...close game vs. Scott Co in the summer? A few months later down 38 in less than 15 minutes. I wish you well but one cannot fix team chemistry issues.

Lafayette 62 Dunbar 55
Lafayette is one bad shooting night against a zone in the playoffs for an early exit. They really struggle against zones. They aren't great shooters but Davis can carry them if he stays out of foul trouble.

Scott County 72 Franklin County 41
Pre season #5...way too high...team won 8 games last year. Sitting at 10-9 with 5 of those wins agasint Woodford (2), Frankfort (2) and Western Hills. Not at all trying to bash FC but just because kids return doesn't necessarily mean succes.

Scott County 72 Franklin County 41
Yes...during warm ups. They had to move the game to Western Hills.

Scott County 72 Franklin County 41
IMO...I said early in the year the Flyers were getting love from everyone and they just weren't very good. An injury here and there hasn't helped but anyone who has seen them play can see they have team dynamic issues. They were down 38 in the first half...at home...they will be one and done in the regional tournament. They will make it to the region simply by default.

Mason County 61 Lexington Catholic 56
They have little to no inside production. Mason is a bad matchup for them. Also, Mason I'm sure looked to exploit that matchup issue. Coach O'Hearn is one of the best around.

Scott County 81 Henderson County 67 (Toyota Classic Finals)
The word is his dad wants division one or else. I'm not sure that will happen but it doesn't need to. Gilbert shoots it too well not to play somewhere for free.

Scott County 56 Lafayette 52 (Toyota Classic)
As I have said earlier, IMO, he doesn't have much help. If teams, like Scott Co did Friday night, force Lane to handle it and make decisions the others do not make shots consistently. If Davis gets into foul trouble, which he is prone to do, and they go cold, they could make an early exit. There is lots of youth at the guard position and if their pg plays like he did Friday night (6 assists, rebounds and steals on 2-8 shooting with 7 turnovers), it is a recipe for disaster. If they get the ball to Davis, who most certainly will be a candidate for Mr. Basketball and a first team all stater, then they will be dangerous. Late Friday they forgot about Davis and had the wrong guys taking shots. When you have a stallion you ride him into the sunset.

Scott County 81 Henderson County 67 (Toyota Classic Finals)
It will be interesting where he goes next year. The kid can score but he plays in a system where is allowed to take some "questionable" shots. Questionable as in at the next level, most coaches will not allow him to take those. IMO he will not play the pg at the next level. He is having a first team all state kind of year and is fun to watch.
-
Scott County 81 Henderson County 67 (Toyota Classic Finals)
They don't seem to make him a high priority on offense.

That's a lot of games...and wins!

Rules Question
Good officials are preventitive. Guarantee that kid didn't know the rule. Everything isn't black and white. When a kid is in the lane, do refs tell them to get out if they camp out? Yes. If two kids are going at it on the block do refs tell them to clean it up? Yes. This is no different.
