Box Score?????

Scott County will win by whatever they want to win by. They will probably sit their starters in the 4th.

What are the remaining teams rankings?

MS is a well coached bunch. They fought hard and played smart.

There were several college coaches watching the game; BC, Minn, UG, ND, Ala that I saw.

Awesome game, WC shot 50 free throws making 42, Eli was 25 of 28 from the line. Samuel Souers helped his buddy Eli with 16 points. Huff from MS had a strong night with 20.

I think Woodford County-Madison Southern will be the largest margin.

 

I see this one, the Madison Central-Franklin County, and the Henry Clay-Lafayette games all as having the potential to be classics.

Joker don't jinx WC.

In the regional rankings, he has Franklin County over Woodford County. WC just beat FC a couple of days ago??????

Like I said in another thread, Hundley always has his teams rolling come tournament time.

Hundley is doing a great job.

Am I the only one thanking God for the opportunity to play in a tough region and see all of these boys play with such heart.

Thank you Lord.

A hard fought game to the last second. Eli Boggess made a basket with 17 seconds left in the game. After a time out FC brings the ball into their half court offense. After jabbing at WC's defense Rowe drove the ball missed and a scrum of boys rolling on the ground for the loose ball. As the ball was being slapped by seemingly every boy on the floor the time ran out.

What a game. In the last minute and a half there were 6 lead changes.

Definitely agree that there have been times that Souers and Graf have carried Woodford when other teams try and concentrate their resources on stopping Boggess.

Joker, did you get my email. I am premium member and struggle with the private stuff.

Samuel Souers of Woodford County should be higher; 16 points/game, 3 threes/gm at 43% from three point range. I think the only guy that is better than that in the region is Trent Gilbert. I haven't seen his stats but I have seen him play and I am sure that Trent is the best shooter.

Samuel is efficient and can erupt for 6 to 10 points in a few minutes even when the other team is keying on him and Eli Boggess.

Woodford County is one of those teams. We have taken our lumps but in the last 3 games we played West Jessamine, Bullitt East and South Oldham. We were 1 possession difference in each game in the last click of the clock, beating BE and losing to WJ and SO.

You got me. We played just about everyone. Outside of Scott County there is a bunch of teams that could rise up.

Did he include all the games? Note where it say's a minimum of games played and in this week stats sheet, I believe it is 20 games! Does he have 20 stats games posted?

Yes it had more than minimum number or games.

One of our coaches entered our stats and it was included in KHSAA stats. Then the next week it wasn't????

Just heard a second hand account of something that happened during the JV game. Bullitt East helped create a memory for a kid? Anyone that was there care to share? Like I said, I got it second hand from someone that wasn't there, so I guess I actually got it 3rd hand.

The manager on the team is a senior. The coaches wanted to do something special for him. They let him dress and play on the JV. The JV team was getting beat by 20. They let the young man play for a couple of minutes. The BE JV Coach told his guys to back off. The young man made a layup and to the delight of the crowd nailed 2 three pointers. People went nuts and many were crying. I will always have a tender spot in my heart for BE for this kind act.

I will say out loud what I whispered to myself, "Praise God."

Yes they do. He has done a great job there. Great win for them.

We love Scott Hundley. He is a good coach and he loves his boys. You can't ask for a better coach.

Bullitt East made a 2 pointer but the clock ran out a split second before the ball left the shooters hand. A Great victory for WC. Eli Boggess held WC together down the stretch. Samuel Souers lead all scorers with 22 and fouled out with 2.5 minutes to go. It was a great team effort by WC.

With Scott County, I think of it like this:

 

There might have been a point in time where this was more applicable as far as transfers go, but with Scott County's success, I'd say that a lot of kids come to them wanting to play there.

 

Think of it this way. You are Trent Gilbert's parents. He plays as a 7th/8th grader at Wolfe County. If he didn't go to Scott County, do you think he'd be getting the Mr. Basketball attention he gets now? Most people really legitimized Gilbert as a candidate in their mind after he had the big game against Ballard.

 

If you are his parents and you want the best chance of him getting a free ride to a college that's the best fit, do you really think he'd be able to do as much at Scott County as Wolfe County? Well, one option is to move to Georgetown before his freshman year and start school there, then go out for basketball. Regardless of how we feel about the situation, it's legal for a kid entering his freshman year, even if he's played varsity at another school, to move to a new one as a freshman.

 

I know that if Gilbert played at Wolfe County, I'd probably see a small kid who is undersized and puts up ridiculous numbers (he could legitimately average 40 a game for Wolfe) against lesser competition and say that I doubted he could do it against 11th Region schools. Colleges might see and think this same way.

 

Now, before Billy Hicks won 2 state titles, I think that saying "kids come to him" MIGHT not be as strong of an argument, but as of now, I definitely see why they would.

So the 7 footer just heard about how wonderful Billy is?

Thank you for the post. One thing that continues to bother me, transfers in Lexington and Scott County. How many kids in SC's starting 5 didn't go to middle school in Scott County? Think about the boys that are born and raised in Georgetown that start in middle school but are stuck on the bench. What does this teach about team?

Woodford has beaten Dunbar and Tates Creek. They have played a very difficult schedule and they have shown growth in the last week or so. They will be handful.
