I found this on twitter. Looks like the game is still on.

Hopefully the weather will cooperate. The game per KHSAA website is scheduled for tomorrow at 6pm.

That's the great thing about this team, they can have one or two players with an off night and the others will take up the slack. They have seven or eight players that on any given night can burn the opponent and bend the defense of the opposing team.

Final from Summit.

Final Ashland wins 88-62.

Ashland outscores Boyd County 29 to 20 for a score of 78-42 and a running clock.

Ashland leads Boyd County by a score of 49-22 at the half. Ashland jumped out to a 10-0 lead. Ashland led 20-5 with 2:51 remaining in quarter 1. Ashland led 25-11 after the first quarter and 35-13 with 3:52 remaining in the second quarter.

Played on a non-regulation court. I wouldn't think that it should have been counted in any record book.

The 233 points would make 7th place in the KHSAA Basketball Boys Record Book(dated 8-13-2021) in scoring total for both teams. The first six are: 257-Boyd Co. 170 vs Blaine 87 year 1953 252-Jackson City 180 vs Millersburg Military 72 year 1992 249-McDowell 126 vs Camargo 123 year not listed 243-Jackson City 215 vs Woodbridge Academy 28 year 1992 243-Dayton 124 vs St. Henry 119 year 1991 234-Wolf Co. 133 vs Morgan Co. 101 year 1986

Player scoring: Ashland: Carter 24 Porter 24 Sellars 15 Villers 10 Atkins 8 Thacker 1 Bardstown: Mason 24 Curtsinger 18 Riley 9 Pope 4 Stone 2

Scoring by quarters: Ashland 22 19 23 18=82 Bardstown 10 19 16 12=57

With a shot clock, it would limit a coach's options. I'm not talking stall but slowing the game down can definitely keep a less talented team close enough to have a chance to win.

I does look like this could be a very tough next eight days for Cov Cath.

Ashland jumped on a good Hunington team early. At the half, Ashland was 11 of 21 from behind the arc for 52.4% and hit 24-37 for 64.9% from the field while hitting 2 of 3 from the free throw line. Ashland had 16 assists on 24 made baskets at the half. The second half began with Ashland leading by a score of 61-25 and a running clock.

Scoring by quarters: Ashland 27 34 20 10 = 91 Huntington 12 13 14 12 = 51

Home standing Ashland beats a good Huntington High team.

Just wanted to point out that even though Sellars is the leading scorer for Ashland, he is also a very tough defender as well.
