Forrest Gump

Good to see the Panthers bounce back at home after some brutal results from a road trip that took up most of December. The big key in this one was that the Panthers held the Saints' Andrew Sticklen to only 14 points after he dropped 32 on them back in the first week of the season. These two will tangle a week from today at Robertson County in the class a tournament. Should be a good one.

Did not see this coming! Figured it would be much closer!!

Both teams should be extremely motivated for this one. Mason County will look to avenge another district disaster and Augusta looks to prove they don't need Brent Bach to defeat the Royals. This one screams Mason County on paper but the Fieldhouse floor is made of wood. It will take a total team effort for Augusta to pull this one out. I'm an Augusta guy and I started this thread so I gotta go with my guys. Augusta 79 Mason County 75

Give Campbell County credit, they made Harrison County look bad. I expected the Camels to win but thought it would be much closer!! Harrison tried to make a run in the 3rd but blew that by going 1-9 from the free throw line. They have shooters but none of them ever got on track. Too much talent to fall like they did.

Pendleton County took advantage of every opportunity Augusta gave them tonight. And there were plenty!! The Panthers often found themselves out of position underneath which led to numerous second chance points and wide open layups. Hopefully watching the video of this one will have the Panthers better prepared for Saturday's game vs. Scott. After suffering their first loss, how they bounce back will tell a lot about this team.

Yes Harrison thumped the Panthers last year.

Yes they did. An effective zone that kept the Panthers out on the perimeter and kept the game kinda close early as Augusta was not hitting.

Almost forgot to give credit to Silver Grove's Anthony Turcios who led all scorers with 32 points. Was very impressive. Had great speed and a number of moves to get to the basket.

Panthers improve to 2-0 with win over Silver Grove. Connor Maddox leads Augusta with 19 points. Nathan Shrader had 15 and Owens Crawford and Camryn Snapp each finished with 11. Offense sputtered at times but defense was strong again.

I am certain of Hinson staying at Augusta. Now may Bracken County have someone? That could be. Just hadn't heard that yet.

For those waiting to add Augusta to the list, not so fast. Jason Hinson has decided to stay with the orange and black. Bracken County's search continues....

I've heard talk of more 9th region teams invading the 10th. Any rumors of that still out there?

Just my gut feeling here but I don't think Hinson goes anywhere near the BC job. Yes he coached jr high there and he graduated from there but IMO it's the last place on earth he'd go.

I was happy for Chad when he got the job. Glad to see Bracken County award loyalty. Now I would imagine they look elsewhere this time. They do have some talent but it's still young so patience will be needed. Developing that talent is the key to Bracken County having any future success. IMO they have a lot of work to do. Best of luck to Coach Persinger. Hope to see him on the sidelines again soon.

There is no better venue for the 10th region tournament than the Fieldhouse. Tonight's atmosphere was incredible. Try to get what we have somewhere else. Can't happen. We are so blessed in the 10th. MoCo, nice arena, but it'll never be the Fieldhouse.
