I think Coach Starns was in a no win situation. Some players violated team and school rules and he dismissed them from the team. Then parents got involved and you know where that went.

Point and facts well stated

Wish I could hit like about a hundred times on this one. Davis was upset with himself after not hitting the free throw the second time around. In the press conference He apologized to his teammates, his school and even his community. That young man is a winner no matter what happens. Was very glad to see him get the Larry Conley Ultimate Teammate award and the Ted Sanford award. He got my vote on the Larry Conley award.

Only problem I have with it is that it was NOT called at the state tournament. I saw several players do it after a made three on the biggest stage and there was no call. Don't call it one way at one venue and another way at another venue. Be consistent that is all anyone ever wants from an official.

Trinity fans were spread out in the lower arena on the sides.

Oh I don't disagree with either of you but I understand why they did it.

Really was impressed by Trinity administration and how they handled their cheering section. Sure boys are going to be less than angels. (Come on guys we were all like that at one time or another when we were young. Some of us still are that way. :laugh:) But when they got out of line with a cheer that was not in good taste or got personal administration was quick to put a stop to it. Not saying I have read the entire book, but this is just my observation of the cover of that book.

After speaking with someone from KHSAA I understand why it was done. They wanted to make state championship trophies more uniform. Was it fair for a state champion in another sport to get a MUCH smaller trophy than basketball?

I think Mason will be above Saint Patrick. Saint Patrick lost Crawford to graduation, Stanfield is now at Mason County and not playing sports and Katie Hamm is at Mason also. Plus Mason has everyone back that beat Saint Patrick twice last year.

I will reserve my comments on this topic as it WILL get me in trouble.

It is official. Julian Tackett has been named the new commissioner. This per a press release from the KHSAA.

I think he is a poor man's John Wall. Same style of play. Attack the basket. (Not saying he is as good as Wall so don't take it that way.) I think he could play in the OVC. Not much size but man can he handle the ball. And has a nice outside shot.

:ohbrother: Here we go again.

Especially with his mother passing last week I am sure that this one is really special to him.

If I am not mistaken they got snowed out.

I wish every fan from every school (Mason included) had as much class as you do. That will not be the case as some will say that Mason got all the calls or they played it at the Fieldhouse or......... or..........or.......... Nice post cardinal/fan :thumb:

60-57 mason with 33 seconds left

He hit 5 vehicles in all according to the K9 officer. Glad you got home safe. The Ads will be in the thick of things come playoff time.

He will be sorely missed at Paris. Just as everyone else has said he was able to get the job done in a way that oozed class. I often wondered how long he would stay at Paris before something big came his way. He is a gentleman that deserves this chance. Good luck Coach!

Administration was something that he was looking into for sometime now. He is a class individual that has made moves that were advancements. He has not even made a lateral move in his carrer. Plus some fail to realize that Coach Hammonds is originally a mountain boy. So this is even a move closer to home.

You are so right. Really hated to see Shawn leave Mason County but understood why he did. He truly cares about the kids and loves the game.

They are a very nice team. Mason will have their hands full that is for sure.

:thumb: Nice tournament with a lot of good teams. Holmes did a great job of hosting.

There is absolutely no truth to that.
