Boucher

Excellent hire by Mike Black and North Laurel! I wish Coach Sizemore the best of luck, and would love to see him have a long and successful career at NL.

Not just my opinion, but widely known. I am, however, entitled to my opinion. Like I said in my previous post, I wish him the best at PSW.

Wright did well when the administration allowed him to freely get players from other surrounding schools. When they made him start playing by the rules, things didn't go so well for him. He soon wore out his welcome, and off to PSW he goes. I wish him the best.

The game was not near as close as it appears. Without 3 penalties, it probably would have ended up 27-3.

I can't believe the people calling for these men to never ref again. A mistake was made, clear and simple. It's not the first time, nor will it be the last. Let this go, and move on. I was also shocked to hear that the losing coach asked the winning coach to forfeit the game because of the call. Unbelievable...

At first I did not like the idea of having it at The Arena. The first night of girl's games added to my initial opinion. After experiencing the balance of the tournament, I think has ended up being a great move. NL and The Arena officials have done a bang up job hosting this tournament. I don't see why anyone would want to move it away from this venue. I think this venue makes the tournament feel like a much bigger event. It is definately a treat for the players. I don't think there is any way that there will be a 66% vote to move it away.

Actually I thought the foul call with 2 seconds left in the 3rd OT when multiple players from both teams dove for a loose ball was much worse than the charge call. Could have been the worst call I've seen that impacted the outcome of a big game since the Paducah Tighlman Scott County debacle several years ago at Rupp. Bell had the lead and time was running out. IMO it helped determine the outcome of the game. I'm very happy, though, because I just want to see Clay get beat!

I'm with you. Great food! What about the size of the shrimp they were serving? :eek:

Great game, but if I was a Bell County fan, I'd be fighting mad.

Man, there are some misinformed people on here! It appears that a certain bunch have some sort of axe to grind. Let me start this by saying that my original view was against having it at the arena. I have since reconsidered. I'd say the 1800 or so people that were coming for the second game were pretty happy to be inside watching rather than standing outside in the cold waiting for that 4OT game to be over. As for the concessions, I thought the cost was about the same asmost high schools I've been to. I bought a popcorn and a pop, and it was 3.50. If that is too much, please tell me what your school charges, and we'll debate as to whether or not the price difference is significant. The statement about charging for mustard is an out and out lie. As for the mistake in the program, please grow up. It was a mistake, and it was also fixed by the next day. If you think it was intentional, you're crazy. You think anyone would pay to print those things twice? Complaints about travel time and cost have no merit. Some travel more, some less. The fact of the matter is that Corbin is pretty centrally located for the 13th region. If you don't like that, petition the KHSAA for a change in regions. People, quit being short sighted and give it a fair shot.

I wasn't at the game, so don't know if the T's were legit or not. I was just told that it was being investigated because a ref on the game said BEFORE the game he was going to eject Coach Wright. I'm not saying that I know this to be true, only that it was told to me. I guess only time will tell...

I'm really shocked by all of the uproar (& misinformation) regarding the cancelled NL/PC game. People, contracts have buy out clauses for a reason. If this game meant soooooo much to PC, they should have put a bigger number in the clause. I don't know what the reason NL wants out, but when I heard they were buying out, I was thrilled. PC Coach Hines showed his rear end last year when NL beat his team. He cried like a baby, and called out a very classy and professional NL admininstration in the paper. I don't know if that factored into this decision, but I know it's reason enough for me. PC, grow up, quit your crying (like your coach), and MOVE ON.

South Laurel played man? I don't think I've ever seen them play anything other than that 2-3 zone. They played it quite well, I might add...

Not at this time. He'll get some PT, but SL is very deep at guard this year.

Tough road loss for SL. I heard people questioning why SL would even play Buckhorn, I guess we see now. Coach Wright knows playing good quality competition on the road will do nothing but make his SL team better down the stretch. I bet it was a long, quiet, bus ride home
