Place getting full yet?

Everyone talks about the problems stopping Dawalt but I think the really problem will come on the other side with Grant finding a way to stop Rassman.

I also like the cats in this one!

Simon Kenton with another early exit. Certainly seems to be a trend at this point.

Is the 8th region draw tomorrow?

4 straight district championships for Gallatin!

Wow!! I can’t remember the last time you’ve had another 31st district team Ranked in front of Gallatin. Personally I disagree and I think Gallatin will prove that this week. Personally think Carroll beats Henry and then Gallatin wins it all Saturday. I understand why you have it like this in the rankings. Gallatin did split the series with them and now with the Gallatin tumble it is understandable.

Rassman is getting overlooked due to other top tier guards in the region that are playing at the D1 level in the future. Any school that adds Rassman to a roster next year is making an amazing decision for their program!

Gallatin has had SKs number for the past few years but not sure they can keep it up. Gallatin needs this win badly.

Per Khsaa Carroll wasn’t ready as I predicted earlier.

Carroll will not be ready for this one.

Per Khsaa.

Congrats to Jarin Rassman! Truly a very special player. Last week I thought very highly of this Gallatin team and really expected this to be the time for them to get hot. With this being there 2nd loss in a row and not exactly an easy schedule coming up (at Spencer, at Lloyd, home vs SK). With that being said Gallatin has still all but guaranteed there spot in the 8th region tournament by nearly locking up the 1 seed in the district. These next few games could tell a lot.

Much closer then expected!

Somerset started out with a big lead due to a very cold start by Gallatin. The Wildcats seemed to struggle with the size on offense early but seemed to figure it out late in the second. Would say Somerset lead by at least 12 early in the first but Gallatin got it back to 5 to end the half. Gallatin looked much better coming out of the gates in the 2nd half and was even able to grab the lead at one point. Was a very competitive and good defensive game during the second half. With 3 minutes to go it was very easily anybody’s game to win. Somerset was able to get the ball to fall a few times in the final minutes which caused Gallatin to panic it seemed. Somerset is a good team and if there shots start to fall later in the tournament could very easily win the tournament. Gallatin also showed that at points could be a very good team and potentially make a run later in the year. Congrats to Somerset!

To me that sounds crazy. One of the biggest Walton Verona hater to ever live right here but I rooted for them like I was a die hard fan during the state tournaments last year. Love to see the guys in the 8th region do great.

I think that 5:00 pm game would definitely be the crowd favorite but Im gonna go with Somerset vs. Gallatin. This Gallatin County team has arguably the best coach in the state, good amount of talent, and coming out of a very tough 8th region. The 11-7 record of Gallatin doesn't look near as pretty as the 16-2 record that Somerset is bringing in but Gallatin has competed against some very highly ranked teams. This Gallatin team looks hot and I would argue that Jarin Rassman could be the best player in the tournament.

Which game would you call the game of the night tonight?

Supplee was a real trooper down the stretch. Was very clear that he was in a lot of pain but he left it all out on the court. Carroll loses to Gallatin twice in the week, third time on the year, and 6th time in the past 2 seasons. The kids on Carroll have never beaten Gallatin and I’m sure that’s stinging. If they get the chance to play them for a district championship with a healthy Wyatt Supplee that will be a lot of fun to watch.

Gallatin wins 49-30

Gallatin Leads 33-26 with 4:19 left.

Gallatin Leads 27-22 after 3. Should be a entertaining 4th

Gallatin Leads 19-10 at the half. Both Rassman and Suplee have sat some of the half with some type of injury. Seems that both will be fine in the 2nd.

Great rivalry game between 2 teams that have already played each other twice this season. In the small Williamstown gym I would call this one can’t miss basketball in the 8th region.

That one will leave a mark on the Scott players. Not a fun game to be involved in at all
