I’m not trying to defend Belcher, but he’s a friend of a friend and I wanted to state some facts. I know he does honor the past very well @ Pendleton (a lot of young coaches don’t do this). At age 32 his career record to date in 4 1/2 seasons at PC is 82-64. Keep in mind that Dontaie Allen will have missed 40 games in his career. PC has won 3 of the last 4 districts. Not to mention, if Michael Antrobus didn’t transfer to Rowan County after his sophomore year his career record would be a lot better. Belcher has done a great job of taking his teams all over the state of Kentucky and has played out-of-Region opponents. I’m not saying he’s Billy Hicks, Chris Renner, Dale Mabrey, Mike Szabo or Allen Feldhaus but I do think he has enhanced the basketball program at Pendleton since he’s taken over in 2014. He doesn’t recruit other kids from opposing schools. He’s done this with homegrown kids. Unfortunately, the injury bug has hit his team hard for the 2018/19 season and his young, inexperienced team will struggle for the rest of the season.

Just curious, have you ever met Keaton Belcher? Ever talked to him?

He's had NCAA D3 interest in basketball, and I believe a little bit bigger schools for football.

Doesn't Bourbon, Clark and Robertson all start at least 2 guys that are transfers?

The team with more talent on the High School boys level wins 90% of the time. Billy Hicks does a great job, but he's never not had talent. If he did not have bundles of talented players every year at Corbin and Scott County would he still be as successful as he has been without the talent?

Who are the two transfers that play for Bourbon?

No they actually graduated a NCAA D1 player, Cooper Robb, who has started some games this season at UNC Charlotte.

Bourbon County looked to be more fresh and energetic. Bourbon County had not played since Tuesday. Pendleton County played four games in the week.

Happy for Coach Daniel. Looks like his team was more prepared in this one.

They played in this event last season on December 22, 2017 and beat Mason County 89-77.

Based on their schedule they played in two prestigious events already this season (Zip Zone Classic & Marshall County Hoop Fest) on two different sides of the state. Not to mention they played in the Lexington Catholic Tournament last year and they are scheduled to play in the Ashland Tournament this year.

I think you are getting Campbell and Pendleton mixed up. Pendleton played in the Lexington Catholic Holiday Tournament last year. This year Campbell County was invited to the KOB. They declined because they already committed to the post-Christmas Lexington Christian Tournament and some contract games before Christmas.

12/8 Bracken Game was 3 point game in the beginning of the 4th Quarter and Pendleton won by 18 points. Coach pulled him with 2:30 left. Allen scored 51 points but could have scored 60. 12/10 Augusta game was 81-49 with 5:30 left when Allen was pulled out. He had 45 points and could have gotten 60. 12/12 Robertson game Allen was pulled with 5:12 left in a district seeding game. He finished with 53 points and could have gotten 60. Not to mention, tons of UK fans are coming to watch the kid play so playing 26-28 minutes a night is the opposite of showing bad sportsmanship IMO. I highly doubt that Coach Belcher would try to run up the score on anybody.

Dontaie has missed 23 games in his varsity career. He could have had a chance at "King" Kelly Coleman if not for injuries!

Riherds says 6:00 tip. Is that correct?
