Toftness is a fine player and a good option when Williams is drawing the defenses on him. Chad McDonald is another shooter who you can't leave open. He hits some threes last night while Williams had everyone collapsing on him inside.

Agreed, and the best part they will decide it on the court in a few weeks. Should be a great regional tournament with lots of interesting angles.

Just told Blaine Forsee is the player. Not sure how long he is out.

Toftness and McDonald both played last night, they are the two players other than Williams who can hurt you. I am not sure to who you are referring. I am interested though! Who?

Maybe not a wide margin, Owen County is clearly the best team in the 8th Region as of today.

"Everything she does is magic. Bee-yo-ohh, be-yo-ohh, be-yo-ohh, be-yo-ohh." That song by The Police always drives away the demons. HAHAHA

This is exactly right. Oldham is clearly behind both Owen County and South Oldham. That is not to say Oldham CAN'T win the region, but it will take a great run by them to accomplish it.

I do not follow the NFL. Sorry.

You are correct. Any high school team will have a weakness or two, even the best. South doesn't rebound particularly well, their quickness is also an issue. But they can knock down three-pointers like crazy. South could pull off some unexpected wins in the regional because of their outside shooting. That is why I can't wait for their game with Owen County coming up on the 13th. Two totally contrasting styles of play, both with strengths that offset the other's.

The best team won that night. Oldham is solid, but they must guard the perimeter to beat South.

This is just for you and all others who don't know high school Larry Bird and what REALLY went on. Larry Bird's Greatest Shot Was the One He Didn't Take

South Oldham is really good, their three-point shooting is best in the 8th Region. I think South is a little better overall than Oldham. Oldham has five solid players, but not quite as good as the kid for South who made about 10 threes in a game last week. I do not want to butcher his name, but he is really good when left open, and it doesn't matter if he's 30 feet out. You have to get on him, or it's a three!

The dark cloud reappears, and blocks out the sunshine.

I say South Oldham is a bit tougher to guard than Oldham. South beat them by double figures last month. It could come down to Owen County and South Oldham. South will have to decide whether to triple team Williams and risk giving up open looks to some good shooters, or play him straight up and take away the perimeter guys. North tried to triple him last night and he still went for 30+ and 17 rebounds. Great game coming up with Owen County and South Oldham, will be a fun contest!

Carson Williams had another dunk over two of the defenders that was amazing. His strength and leaping ability is fun to watch in the open court on plays like this one.

If you make this a topic in the controversial issues forum, I would wager a milk shake that it will shatter the BGP record for views and posts! Land sakes!

Does UC President Ono know about this Cronin and Bostic drama? WOW!

HAHA! Owen County had a packed gym tonight. No Wah-Wah Jones here?

Never mind, he just told me that story! HOLY COW! Does the press up there in Cincinnati know about that stuff?!?!?! WOW!

The dark cloud returns, and the sunshine disappears.

Can you enlighten us on this? My buddy was very cryptic, but it sounds like a good thread in another forum maybe?

I'm with you. This thread was for the 8th Region folks who know Carson Williams. Unfortunately, a bunch of 9th Region people started adding their venom to knock him. Hopefully Owen County can win the state and a lot of people will see the light.

No one said he is THE NEXT LARRY BIRD. I saw both play in high school, which I assume you did not, and said Carson Williams has many of the attributes Larry displayed in HIGH SCHOOL. Like comparing Curtis Bostic to Mick Cronin. Wink-wink. My buddy said to add that last line and I do not get the joke. Do you?

THE HIGH SCHOOL Larry Bird, not the NBA. Can you not understand?!?

My buddy played at Alcorn State, his name is Larry Smith. They called him Mister Mean in the NBA for about 12 years. Larry had NO offers other than Alcorn State, and he is now an NBA exec. You do not need to play at UK to get into the NBA.
