It will be a dandy of a game next year when the Hounds square off against the Rockcastle County Rockets in the first game of the season in the Bob Allen Pigskin Classic at Danville's Admiral Stadium. I can't wait for the season to start already.

Final. Rockcastle County improves to 8-10 on the season while Madison Southern falls to 12-6. Colby Brown, who needed 14 points going into the game, scored 26 to joined the 1,000 Point Club at THE ROCK. He went into the Club by draining a 3-pointer early in the 4th quarter. CONGRATS COLBY!!!!!!!!! :ylsuper: :ylsuper: :ylsuper: :ylsuper: Madison Southern simply could not hit many buckets after having an early 8 point lead. Rockcastle County also got 20 HUGE points off the bench tonight. Don't let me forget to mention how good Weston Riddle & J.C. McClure played in the post tonight. Coach Benny Blanton's Rockets pulled away late from a good Eagles team by making their free throw shots (29/36) while Southern was only 7 of 12. Brown hit 16 of Rockcastle County's 29 made free throws. Double digit scoring: Madison Southern Josey Cruse 16 Ty Robinson 14 Rockcastle County Colby Brown 26 Kyle Mullins 14 Coty Childress 12 Gabe Stallsworth 10

Rockcastle County now leads 49-45 after the 3rd quarter. University of Kentucky baseball signee Colby Brown needs 2 more points to join the elusive 1,000 point club at Rockcastle County.

For the Eagles, Ty Robinson had 8 & Josie (sp?) Cruse added 7. For the Rockets, Coty Childress with 10 & Kyle Mullins with 9. I just got to listen to the final few minutes of the half. So far from what I've been able to hear, Coty Childress and Lynn Miracle have given Coach Blanton's Rockets some GREAT minutes off the bench. Colby Brown, who is feeling a little under the weather, along with Madison Southern's Michael Day have sat on the bench a lot with each picking up their second foul fairly early in the second quarter.

Rockcastle County leads at the half by a score of 36-31. Halftime score leaders for each team to follow in a few minutes.

Just wondering why the school board voted to take black out of the school colors? Is it because they finally decided on Black Bears as the new mascot for the Harlan County High School? Wasn't that school going to be called the Cougars? Just wondering.

Final. This was a VERY exciting game to listen to. The Rockets upset a top notch team in the 12th Region. Colby Brown was UNREAL tonight. Congrats to Coach Benny Blanton, staff and the Rockets for a hard fought effort tonight. Keep up the momentum against Somerset on Thursday night guys!!!!! I also want to say congrats to the Warriors for fighting hard in this one too.

When will Cawood, Evarts and Cumberland beconsolodating into Harlan County High School?

Or how about the Barnyard Classic? I like the play on the nickname Owls.

Since it will be held in Owsley County...home of the Owls...how about calling it the Barnyard Slugfest...playing on Owls living in barns sometimes? I'm actually at a lose for words right now. We just had a fie alarm go off here in the University Suites and I had to go outside and stand around for like 30 minutes in the cold. I'll try to come up with some better ideas in a little while.

What county or city will the possible tournament be played in? Also what schools will the players from the "host" area be from? This could help some folks out if you gave us that information. I have scene many, many differently named baseball tourneys over the years so I could give a few options.

Timeout Casey County with 4:07 as they trail 46-38.

At the end of the 3rd quarter, the Rockets lead 42-33.

Jason Sanders has played real well for the Rebels so far in the 3rd quarter. He has 8 points in the quarter. It's now 40-31 with 2:00 left. Childress at the line for the Rockets.....both are good. Rockcastle leads 42-31.

With about 3:00 left in the 3rd, Rockcastle County now leads 40-25.

Sounds like Corbin is playing well. That Crawford kid for the Hounds should be something special to watch in years to come.

At the half, the Rockcastle County Rockets have BLAZED their way to a 29-19 lead. After leading by seven, the Rebels have squandered the lead away. Actually the Rebels have only scored 4 points since their timeout with a little over 2 minutes remaining in he first quarter. Rockcastle County football player Mikey Denney was honored at the half by being named first team All-State defensive lineman. Kyle Mullins leads the Rockets with 11 points. Casey County's big man Price leads the way for them with 6 points.

Sounds like a good one there addout. I really miss going to the high school games back there in the 13th Region. I have only seen a total of 8 high school bball games this season and all were played here at Northern kentucky University. I know this is one of the most heated rivalries in the mountains.

With a little over 2 minutes gone by in the 2nd quarter, Rockcastle County now leads 21-17. The bench play has been outstanding for the Rockets with Coty Childress and Lynn Miracle given Coach Blanton good minutes. The press defense for the rockets has been awesome as Casey County has turned the ball over at least 5-6 times so far in the 2nd quarter alone.

At the end of the first quarter, Casey County leads 17-12. Casey County started off shooting the ball really well from the perimeter.

For those that want to listen to this game, I'm listening to it on http://www.wrvk1460.com It's the Rockcastle County radio station. Kevin Roberts is doing play-by-play and Jason Coguer with the color.

Following a timeout called by the Rebels at the 2:12 mark, Casey County leads 15-10.

Rockcastle County has it for the 8th graders that will be incoming freshmen next year. I think it gets up and running here in a few weeks.
