I think he was consistently in the low 80's last year as an 8th grader. 81-83 He chose not to play basketball at Ashland this year to focus on getting stronger. If he is able to add 6-10 in the next four years he will be a solid prospect. Already has a lot of poise on the mound.

Ashland will also have a freshman lefty throw a lot of innings. Same kid who started at QB this year. Sam Hunter, very high ceiling, especially because he throws with the wrong hand. Threw in several games last year as an 8th grader.

One of a few interesting games on tap for tonight. If West wins, they are for sure the second ranked region team. If not then someone else is #2. (Get it #2)

I believe they are affiliated. I think that they are cousins in the same way that Taylor Webb and Jeremy are cousins. If I'm not mistaken David Rayburn and Joy Webb Rayburn are the parents of Aaron.

I think they should play the next Elliott vs West game outdoors with the barn as a goal support. Somewhere on Mauk Ridge maybe or on 986. What a game that would be. I'm in fo sho. Maybe in the spring so we can chase a few old gobblers while we're out there. I've got it we can use Gary Carroll's parking lot. So we could eat while we were there.

Is the record different come tourney time between East and West? Just curious, I once read a statement from an EC coach something like "I wouldn't trade one game for the overall record" Then he watched WC play in the regional tourney.

Which would lead to another question, if you beat someone by 75+ would it almost have to be intentional? We are off subject and i apologize. Elliott will be able to call the score if they play Boyd tonight.

This is true. Why I mentioned no full court pressure. One would think that up by say 80-90 full court pressure would not be applied.

Heres a what if lets say that Jackson made 35 free throws in the game. That would leave 180 points to gain in 32 minutes. Still very nearly at 6 per minute. If they shot 100% from the field, they would have to make a shot every 20 seconds. If there was no full ct pressure this would almost be impossible. That is just a staggering number of points.

215 without a 3 point line? How many minute quarters? If 8 minute quarters, that is over 6 points per minute.

Out of curiousity does anyone know the state record for the most points scored in one high school game?

If Boyd chooses to press and run the floor with Elliott then 150 is possible. Ashland scored 110 and Elliott is 20+ better. May need a different strategy in this one.

I thought it was a team event, my bad I didn't realize that it was an individual event. I realize that West Carter the team lost the game to a better opponent. I just was "curious" how a certain player performed against the best competition. Thank you for helping me realize the errors of my ways.

Here's a question for those in attendance, how did Rayburn fare? He seems to be a little under the radar right now. I think he will only get better. Soph I believe.

Elliott and West games have always been physical and emotional. Nothing new. I have witnessed fans and players from both sides getting out of control. Sounds like West players have something to prove this year. They will definitely be a team that I wouldn't want to play in March. Does the 62nd seed the district? If so, West and East may be a first round game.

I think this one will be close to 20 in Ashland's favor. No knock on Russell, but I was suprised that they beat Boyd by 17 or so. Long year for Boyd, and from what I hear it is not only the varsity squad that will have a long year. I hear it will be that way down through middle school. Probably just rumors though.

What is a material number of years? Is that opposite of an immaterial number of years? I don't even think that I spelled immaterial correclty. What doesn't matter is how far this fact or fiction can make you pee.

I was fishing with that question. Thought I spotted a muskie, just not of the Cave Run kind.

Where I'm from this is known as cipherin

Does the Rowan BWs serve hors de ouveres like they do in Huntington?

I have heard stories of the "messes" that the Spindoc can cook up.

I wasn't predicting an Elliott collapse don't get me wrong. If they lose in the 16th it may be a sign of the apocalypse. I just have a feeling that this is one of those West years where they can be dangerous any night.

Actually 38 hundredths of a minute is not 38 seconds. It is 22.8 seconds.

With few West posters on here it sounds as if the game would have been played in a couple of weeks that West wouldn't have a chance. I have a feeling that West is a sleeper this year and may suprise some folks down the road. How about this 21 years ago a Webb coached team beat East and Elliott who were both region favorites in route to a district title.

Elliottt is a given, but when you add East, West, and Morgan I feel safe to say that the 62nd will have the best region winning percentage. I also believe that will be true if you figure winning percentage without using the Elliott wins.
