North Oldham has a decided height advantage over Lincoln. They're not taking advantage of it. At the half: ✓ Points in the paint tied at 12-12. ✓✓ Patriots are out rebounding the Mustangs 14-7.

Lyon County is more than a one trick pony, but I haven't been this juiced about a player since 2017. Will the young "King" in waiting carry the Lyons to the semis like "The Jake!" Ohmer did for Scott HS? Update on Travis Perry's record assault from yesterday's Final Score thread ~

Layup by LC's Alcorn gives the Patriots their first lead of the game, 11-10.

That's on a 4-0 run by NO over 2 min., and that's how this one plays out I think....low and slow.

NO's Grant strikes first from inside. The game's only points so far. 2-0 Mustangs, 6:08 1Q

Starting lineups ~

Small % margin between the two over the course of the season: NO 68.4%, ranked 9th in the field; LC 66.8%, and 12th. Low scoring game like many are predicting, that "one" FT may be all the difference it takes. Nice detail work as always CM!

Not saying the kid's wrong here, but these were the folks looking for him after following his 1st round picks ...

Late to the party but, like really fancy yikes.

Says the fan of another school in the same bottom quartile of the bracket. Rebuttal: 👎 😁

Halftime stats ~

Both teams just rippin' the cords! Ashland from farther out. 🌧️

Unleash the "Big Russian!" (Rylee)

🎶 All you Colonels rally 'round, fill the valley with a mighty sound ...

🐅 Murray becomes the third small school to join the elite eight. Don't you just love March in Lexington?

I got it RP, thanks for the great updates!

🗂️ Travis Trivia Thursday 2️⃣0️⃣ Lyon County sophomore scoring sensation Travis Perry scored his 3,168th point today. He passed Shannon Hoskins on the all-time list, and into 20th place. ❓ Perry sits at 969 points for the season. 31 more and he becomes the 20th player to join the 1000 point club - for one season. Will he make it? 🥈 Perry's 3,168 points IS NOT the Lyon County school record. That is currently held by Ty Rogers at 3,300. Source - KHSAA Record Book

Murray joining Lyon County as another small school from the west in the elite eight? I like the sound of that. Pikeville from the east already in that group too. M + LC + P = S16

If Murray controls the pace, they're in a good place. Defensive points allowed is 5th best in the field at 48.1 ppg. On the way to holding Clay in that neighborhood.

You must get a free bowl of taters with that hat ...

Just making sure I've got this on record.
