The visiting locker rooms were very nice and have the scoreboard's clock in them, a little thing but a nice touch. There are two different officials locker rooms, presumably a male/female set up if you have a mixed crew? I also heard, but didn't see first hand, that the home locker rooms and coaches' offices have massive touch screen televisions that can be used to watch film and show things to the team. I'm told those are very, very nice and very, very costly. There is also a dual camera in a fixed position for filming the games. This is very nice. You don't have to find someone to film or worry about them doing it well. I've watched film from a setup similar to this and it is pretty great. There are two fixed cameras, one for each half court. Then the software follows the ball and uses that as the primary source on the video you watch. However, if something happens on the other screen you can switch to it. It's amazing for watching film. This isn't a huge amenity but I really like the main entrance. It felt like a much smaller version of the entrance to the Yum! Center. There are two family restrooms on the lower level which are super nice for families. There is corner seating, which is near non-existent in high school gyms. There are the risers for the student sections. There is the standing area on the second level of one end of the course. Many of these things are small but overall I think they are nice touches. They are things you seem to find at newer college arenas but not at the high school level, at least from my travels.

First, that has nothing to do with my previous statements. Second, I don't envision Clark beating Bourbon. However, we are dealing with teenagers, anything could happen.

For sure, Wright has certainly had a better career. But if I had to pick one to win me a game tomorrow, I'm going with Cook. That's not to heap praise on Cook either. He gets very worked up on the sidelines and I think his teams end up reflecting that on the floor.

I'd take Cook over Wright.

I was very impressed with Sarah Weddington from Lewis County.

I agree they could surprise someone but they are still so, so young. They only have two girls above the 9th grade (one SR and one JR). I think they’ll be better than people think this year but are probably a bit away from really making noise.

Montgomery County has named Dustin High the new girls coach. He’s been an assistant coach for the Montgomery County boys for a number of years including including most recently their JV coach. His father, John High, was a highly successful girls coach for Whitesburg, Breathitt Co, and Montgomery County. http://www.montgomery.kyschools.us/userfiles/2407/My%20Files/20190503--MCHS%20Girls'%20Basketball%20Coach.pdf?id=556797

Very young. I believe they started 3 Fr, Jr, Sr.

Good summary of UHA. Lots of talent but too many head down drives to the bucket with no passes and too many jacked up threes that are missed badly.

The bottle play was after a misses Murray break and Brossart rebound. I didn't see it thrown but am pretty sure I know what happened. The Murray "student section" was basically their girls team and some younger (than high school) kids. As soon as I saw the bottle I looked but at their section, all the girls were staring over at the younger kids, the younger kids were all looking at one of them in disbelief. I'll call him Ralph just for fun. Ralph then ran up about 8 rows and over two sections, slouching way down in a seat. Everyone had a reaction like "holy crap what just happened?" My take is the Ralphgot excited and in celebrating what he thought would be a layup for Murray the pop slipped out of his hands. Saw Ralph talking to an adult after the game and he still seemed very embarrassed. I could be way off but it seemed like a complete accident to me.

I'd agree with Jim Schue. I didn't think it was poorly called. There were actually some more plays I thought they could have called fouls on but didn't. Neither team could really stay in front of the other and when they got to the rim they got hammered. This was particularly true for Comptom. He was easily the fastest player in the court, SC couldn't stay in front of him.

This team isn't playing like Szabo's teams of the past. They have a lot more freedom on the offensive end. It is much more entertaining to watch.

I don't remember the exact score but Caverna won easily. They were up by about 18 at the half and won by around the same amount.

Tisdale is a heck of a ballplayer. Very quick the the ball, smooth shot. Is Luke Johnson the younger brother or cousin maybe to Tanner Johnson. The similarities are certainly there.

Is Mason Faulkner the injured player? I didn't see the first game Caverna played but last night I didn't think he played well. To be averaging close to 40 points a game he's better than what I saw from him.
