Male and Dunbar are a combined 29-29.

Hard to figure out Manual. They lose to Dunbar and Male and only have a handful of quality wins. Impressive against Central once, lose the next time they play them. Hoping Bruins don't suffer from Shamrock Shake hangover. If they shoot the three well- and they do (they've knocked down close to 300 of them this year)- they should win going away.

Also went to Waggener as part of a certain AAU team coached by you know who. Kid lives in Oldham County. Has to be the first Oldham County kid to go to Waggener since never.

Doss is really good with Jefferson. Scary good

Jefferson played in Ballards win over Doss in the LIT.

Thankfully my team is still alive... When the season ends I will once again make my pilgrimage to Knightstown, Indiana. Hoosier gym is where they filmed the home games for Hickory in the movie Hoosiers. It's just 20 miles east of Indy. " I'll make it coach."

Szabo didn't guard Ballards Jamil Wilson... Did anybody? He had his way with a bevy of slower T players. The same thing that continues to haunt Quentin Snider at UofL haunted him in last years game. He has problems stopping guards who dribble drive. Stafford killed Ballard last year when going to the bucket. Wilson put a stop to that. I feel bad for those T kids... But life goes on. Both Kelan Martin and Snider are doing quite well these days. Trinity players are high character guys that'll be fine. Szabo will take a less talented bunch and bring out the best in them next year.

I've never seen a team that bellyaches and complains when a foul has been called on them like Taylor County. I witnessed it firsthand at the KOB.

Did Doss big man Jefferson coming back to the team have anything to do with WKU grayshirting him in football? I was curious to why he left the team then came back. He's a difference maker when he's engaged.

Ballard really penetrates and kicks out well for open 3s. Last years bunch didn't buy into that as much.

Too much speed. Ballard had another gear in the 4th quarter. Agreed- Spalding doesn't get the ball much but on the other hand he doesn't seem to want it either. Go Bruins!

Baiter fail.

Thieneman is 6-6. Ramser is 6-4. Ballard has one big who is 6-8. No other player is over 6-3.

Yep. KOB... They're all starting to run together at this point!

I believe their main point guard is Devin Cooper...he scored 26 last night and averages around 18. If Kevin Kirby were playing Waggener wouldve probably won by more. That AAU coach stocked the team two years ago; since then there have been two transfers. One transfer starts for FC the other at Central. That AAU coach was also a part of one of the biggest point shaving scandals in NCAA history.

Ballard has had more than a couple of closer games in the last two weeks versus regional opponents. They've had to play and beat both Central and Eastern three times. The interesting part of the season now begins...If the 7th region plays out to script they will have to play two teams they have not played yet this year- Trinity and Manual. Manual and Ballard were cancelled because of weather. Trinity lost to Central in the LIT so that game never materialized. Ballard adjusted to Centrals run out breaks and Corey Douglas nearly pulled off a triple double last night. Trinitys length will most likely deny him a repeat performance. Ballards speed most likely will cause problems for the rocks. Somethings gotta give!

Newport Catholic had Ballard on the ropes in the LIT. Covington Catholic is way strong and Taylor County is as fast as any team in the state. Wide open sweet 16! Best state tournament in years...mark it down.

I also think Waggener is more than capable. If Kirby is back theyre hard to defend inside. (6-7, 6-6,6-5) The sophomore guard is really good also. Sure St. X can shoot...but they will have problems with Waggeners height. If Jaalim Hill scores 15 or more- look out.

Perry would blow by him and then dunk and then blow a kiss to his mom as he got back on defense.

News flash... Ballards really good. It's a rivalry game. Ballard has beaten then three times this season. That's all folks!

Fern Creek has taken on the personality of their coach. They are smart and enthusiastic and they can be fearless. The learning curve takes freshmen players a little longer to get there- they've arrived. They don't have a wait till next year attitude anymore.

Ballard has depth now also. They're getting points and rebounds from the bigs coming off the bench. Those role players are tough too. Dare I say this is a rare year where Trinity may be a little soft? Theineman provides some toughness- but who else does? Ballard will body-up this year-

Ballard. Faster better and they move the ball around better than last years team.

He lit up Ballard about two weeks ago at Ballard. Sad.

Happened at school apparently. Gotta hope he doesn't lose his scholarship. Bad decisions...it's been that kinda week.
