The Scribe

It seems like the KHSAA is bent on "fixing" everything except what needs to be fixed most.

- Classing non-basketball sports

- Reducing playoffs to district champ and runner-ups

Anything and everything else is just using smoke and mirrors to deflect from the issues that should be addressed

I think it is to deflect criticism of six classes. Everytime there is a push to do away with six classes, they come up with rotating districts instead of 1v2, 3v4, etc. or now seeding the semifinals.

It's done in the same way the KHSAA came up with six classes to deflect the public v private push.

They will do something similar in basketball to deflect the conversation of classing.

Here is video of UHA Coach Grant Shouse explaining the suspension of play

Christian County is a bit deeper than UHA, especially with the return of Trice, which means they can afford to press UHA, especially when Crump has the ball.

The UHA key is Quan Hollowell. He has to stay out of foul trouble and stay on the floor for UHA to give help to Tandy.

The Christian County key is Damikeon Mathis and how well he can control the tempo at point for the Colonels.

Ware has dropped a ton of weight since last season and it has helped his mobility a bunch. He has always had deep range from behind the arc.

Have to go old school and support GT. Good Luck

Livingston Central has everyone back from last year's team, including an experienced backcourt. Webster is very good but lost their point guard in the preseason to an ACL injury.

Caldwell County is the sleeper of the region. They are playing well right now.

Hoptown was losing by 15 points with him on the floor. Bowling Green got too many good looks at the basket and Hoptown had no answer for Jarius Key

Hoptown is now, even with Cager out.

I think UHA is number two. However, if Trice comes back that may give Christian County a slight edge over UHA.

Madisonville is slightly ahead of all three Sixth District teams. There is a good chance that Henderson County and either Hoptown/UHA/Christian County get left at home come region tourney time

Union County is grossly underranked. They are a top 7 team in the region with the players they have back. And I think UHA is the second best team in the region. Tandy's supporting cast at UHA is better than Ware's at Christian County.

Cager has informed his teammates he will be able to play by the end of the week. Apparently there was issue with how the policy is worded. According to a source, one test Cager took was not enough to be a positive, but got charged with a positive anyways. He retook the test the next day, and it was deemed negative.

 

An agreement has been made between the district and Cager's lawyer. It looks like he will be able to play.

 

@chrisjung did a great 2 part piece on the situation.

He didn't write either story. Melissa Pettit wrote them.

No chance!

Just wait. He shouldn't have been given bond in the first place given his history and statements made about not showing up for court

And somewhere, there is a judge in Kentucky that will grant him bail

Bowling Green shot 54% from the field and Hopkinsville did not. Jalen Johnson did not play most of the second half (knee) but that was no factor in the game. Hoptown shot just 35-percent from the field. Jarius Key (22/10) looked real good.

Depends on the region. If you are a small school in the First or Second Region for basketball, you will continually have to get through the likes of Marshall, McCracken, Christian County, or Henderson County just to sniff a state tournament.

Crittenden County was one win away from making the state semifinals in football.

Obviously the answer is football

Detorrion Ware goes for 38 points for the Colonels.

It came down to a 3-way tie at 6-6, so it went to conference records:

 

5-5 Dubtown Snot Rockets

5-5 Possum Trot WarHogs

4-6 Ga. St. Prison Mean Machine

 

That eliminated the Mean Machine, leaving you and the Snot Rockets with 5-5 conference records. Next it went to head-to head, and the Snot Rockets beat you in Week 4, 63-45

I gotcha. No worries or complaints here. Good job as always Godot. I knew missed something somewhere. Good luck to the playoff teams

The Playoff Picture – a rough

West Kentucky Rams have clinched a playoff spot and will win the Division and the #1 seed with a win

Possum Trot WarHogs, needs a win and a loss by Auxier RiverRats and Dubtown Snot Rockets

 

Richmond Outsiders * needs a win and a loss by Auxier RiverRats, Dubtown Snot Rockets and Jacksonville Swaguars

I think this went down. Did I miss a tie-breaker somewhere?

Christian County is a top 20 team. Everyone back from a 17-win season including a 6-3 center that is drawing division one looks.

Sheena Easton and Susanna Hoffs of the Bangles

Freshman KJ Crump is the point guard. Quick kid and able to beat the press. Drew McGowan plays the small forward and can be a double-figure scorer. Kwun Dorsey is a transfer from Clarksville that scored 10 points in their scrimmage win.

Do they go 10 strong off the bench? No. But two years ago it was Tandy and Tray Hollowell and little else. McGowan is going to be the X-factor for this team when others try to limit Tandy and Quan Hollowell
