North played very well last night and had the lead alot of the game. Think they made something like 15 threes or so. The big Asher kid made 6 his self. But in the end too much Blake Smith. He had a huge set of plays where he went dunk, block, dunk, block. Had the crowd going wild. He finished with 25 pts, 6 blocks, 4 reb, 4 asst. Farmer had 17 and shot the lights out of the 3. Clay is close to getting back healthy and they are gonna need it. 2 big games next week with Wayne County and Cordia.

Ill take the 87 or 88 with the Battles of Farmer and Alan Houston

Congrats on the win. I thought the game was closer Than the final score. Ballard has a really nice team.

Yes at cordia

Smith hasn't been right since hazard game at Wymt been sick not getting better. Went to dr today to figure out what's going on. Ryan House played 1 quarter with injured wrist and went back out. Clay's 2 best defenders and they was still up 1 with a minute to go.

Clay was up 1 with 1:28 to go and had the ball. Was gonna run clock and make Perry foul. Well Smith ran about 20 to 25 seconds dribbling all over the place. This whole time perry should have had a saddle on him they fouled him 4 or 5 times no call. He throws it to farmer and perry fouls him he loses ball and Perry makes wide open lay up. Next trip down Farmer goes to throw ball to Smith to run offense player trips Smith as pass was coming he falls down , Perry picks up pass wide open lay up. Perry up 3. And all this happens in 35 sec. They wasn't letting Clay win no matter what.

Best in the mountains is Blake Smith. He does some Vince carter type dunks in warm ups.

Cordia is the 2nd best team in this region, hands down.

No, it states that there actually must be contact for a foul to be committed, not on plays where the official thinks there is going to be contact and then there isn't. That a player needs to actually display unsporting conduct to receive a technical, not when a player says "They're cheating" in a soft undirected voice in the lane after one and a half quarters of the other team going to the line to shoot a free throw or two after every single possession. That a player needs to actually be guarded for 5 seconds continuously without break to get charged with a turnover.

 

I always try to give the officials the benefit of a doubt and feel that they never intentionally call an unbalanced game. I just can't believe that this would actually occur on purpose. In this game though, Dunbar was up 23 easy at the half. Wayne had absolutely no answer for Darius Williams. He was scoring at will. They could not handle Dunbar's press and had difficulty breaking the half court zone. The only way Wayne could get back into the game was the constant calls by the officials and the lackluster job of making identical calls for Dunbar - including the last play of the game where Tayvion Hollingsworth was hacked on the last second layup for a no call when just 8 seconds before the identical call was given to the Wayne county boy to take the lead on free throws. There is no way to describe this unless a person was actually at the game. Wayne County went to the line on literally EVERY play for the last quarter and a half of the game. It's hard to defend the basketball when the other team is only shooting free throws. It's hard to push the ball when the play is stopped on EVERY possession. I'm sure I come off like a sore loser, but ANYONE unbiased at the game would call to question the motives on display with the referees in this game. Here's a comment made by the official to one of the players "That may not get called in the 11th, but we call it here in the 12th...." and then on the next play the ref actually doesn't make that call on the identical play for Dunbar. Is there a different set of regional rules used by the officials in the 12th region?

I agree with everything you said. They did Clay County the same way last year, and when you say something about it, the Wayne County folks throw a fit. When we walked into thier gym last year and a couple of older gentleman came up and ask if we where from Clay and what kind of team we had. we made small talk and Ill swear this on anything the man said " Well i sure hope you guys are 30 points better than them because thats what it takes to win in this gym. And then he pointed out an older Referee and said hes gonna be the one that sticks it to you.

Final from OBI. Clay wins behind a huge 1st half from Trey Farmer and a Huge 2nd half from Blake Smith. Farmer goes for 17 pts in the first half while Smith goes for 22pts in the 2nd half. But the story of the game is Clay lost Ryan House to a possible broken wrist. He left the game in the 3rd quarter for X-rays. Will post final stats later.

Wow what's crazy is North is gonna end up with Clay in the 1st round of the district at North

Coach P. Benched his star player Andrew Taylor with 1 minute to go in the 1st quarter and he never returned. Talk about sending a message.

Collier is Cleared to play. Jackson County has 10 days to file an appeal. Norths coaches was @ south tonight watching Clay and this is what was being told.

SW got out coached IMO.

Clay was once again dominated by a Big Man, Taylor killed them all night in the paint and on the boards. I will say this South should have won this game. I dont know how CC pulled this one out. But the Boys never quit and fought to the end. Farmer made a huge 3 to send it to OT. And Clay never looked back. Blake Smith led the Tigers with 19pts on 7-9 fgs, Farmer had 17pts, and House had 16pts.

Clays defense stunk again tonight, but a win is a win

As bad as the he left them i dont see that happening. He really burnt bridges with the way he left, according to Coach Parrot

Wish the kid the best, I really felt thus kid could have had a nice career if he had stayed at one place. Hate to see him lose his senior season but sometimes you have to live with the consequences of your decisions

I was told today by someone who is usually in the know when it comes to the khsaa and that they expect him to be ruled ineligible. And that North would have to put it in the courts. What crazy is the kid left a better team than where he's trying to go. And he would have been there stud. At North he will play 2nd fiddle to Broughton

The Frazier kid can really play from New York. He's in the top 20 in scoring in the state.

He doesn't have one to my knowledge I can get you any of the others. But I will ask him tomorrow and see. He had to delete alot of that stuff when all of Richie trouble went down due to people being idiots but I will ask him for you.

OBI is better than usual and they played Clay tough at Clay earlier. but North has major issues. All the other kids have laid down from what I'm being told. That they don't want to play with Broughton and for the Coach that is allowing him to take over 40% of the teams shots. Major chemistry issues on that team.

Correction on the stats, Trey Farmer only had 20 pts and 4 rebounds.

Tigers win easily tonight. Big games from Trey Farmer with 26 pts, 7 rebounds. And Blake Smith missed a triple double by 1 rebound. 19 pts, 10 blks, 9 reb, for Smith. Smith fouled out with 4 minutes to go. Clay built a lead and costed most of the night.

Most valuable to me is a kid that leads his team in multiple categories not just points. And Imo he must play on a winning team to be considered for a region wide award. JMO but this is a good thread.
