Zero evidence that any of this is working.

The meeting was today. I know Danville plays Lincoln and Garrard plays KSD on Monday, then both boys semifinals are on Wednesday and the final is Friday.

Look at these elimination games next week. I could see every one of them coming down to the wire. Lincoln/Danville then the winner vs. DCA Boyle/Garrard East/Mercer Pulaski/Rockcastle Both games in the 48th, whoever is playing

Went to a football game there years ago. Great colors, neat place. That part of the state looks much different from where I live but it was a wonderful trip.

Centralia Orphans and Centralia Annies. The Orphans got their unique nickname during the early 1900s when the boys basketball team made it to the state tournament. The school was low on funds then, and the team was forced to pick its uniforms from a pile of non-matching red uniforms. At the state tournament, an announcer commented that the team looked like a bunch of orphans on the court because of their mismatched uniforms. The name stuck. Previously, the team had gone by nicknames such as the Reds and Cardinals. In 2013 and 2014, the Centralia Orphans were named the Most Unique Mascot in the nation by USA Today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centralia,_Illinois

The way Florida’s finishes at the rim compared to Kentucky is unreal. UK seems to be faux-tough, while Florida is the real deal.

Florida 63-54, 12 minutes left. Florida has been up as much as 14, Kentucky has been as close as about 5 here late. But it’s never really seemed in doubt to this point.

Watching Garrison hop around while attempting to rebound is one of the most frustrating viewing experiences possible.

How does this team miss so many shots in the paint? Even when fouled, they never finish to get an And-1.

Difference in athleticism and physicality is startling.

I believe it is voted on late in the regular season.

A friend of my mom and dad used to always say things were "bigger than Corbin." I've never heard anyone else say it until your post!

This was the question I was about to ask: how many teams can win three games and get to Rupp? Its always more fun when multiple teams have good shots.

No, based on the knowledge of the situation presented here, he absolutely should have been suspended. However, as @Carl Spackler said, I think it made it easier to suspend for two games when you had two winnable games coming up. If Bracken had one regular season game remaining and then the playoffs, would it have been a 1-game suspension? That's why I said it was cynical of me. Either way, it doesn't matter. Serve the suspension, play the games, don't do it again.

I've always loved to read but as I've gotten older, what you said is one of my driving factors. When I spend 30 minutes on my phone, I often have nothing to show for it. Reading seems like a much better use of time.

The cynic in me says those two opponents are 3-20 and 4-21, respectively. That said, based on the seeming information at hand, it's still the right move.

This is the first time in school history Garrard has won at Boyle, at Danville, and at Lincoln in the same season, let alone in seven days.

What a terrific district season it has been, 1 through 5.

Might have been!

Central last missed the region tournament in 1985 when they lost to the old Madison High in the district. Berea beat Model in the other semifinal that year and Madison then beat Berea by 9 in the championship game. Both lost in the first round of the region, Madison to Bryan Station and Berea to Tates Creek.

Any vote to change from draw to seed has to be by a majority. Berea and Model will never vote for it, so no matter what Madison Southern wants, it will always be 2-2

What did Ohio State win?!

I believe Darnold was the first quarterback from USC to even start a Super Bowl, which is a little surprising.

Yes, the Patriots have dominated the series both recently and throughout history, save for a stretch from 1977-79 and 1999-2004. Oddly enough, Garrard's last two series wins both came in Stanford, late in the season in 2016 and 2018.
