If one would count I believe that this thread is painted more orange/black, maroon/gold than maroon/white.

This looks like a case of the Hunter vs the hunted.

If a rule is applied only when an official feels necessary what keeps him from defining necessary in a manner that gives another team an advantage?

If rules are not followed, then why have them. All we need are guidelines and we can decide when we think it should matter and cause problems.

I agree

I think the Hunter kid has a very high ceiling. He very well may be a fixture. The can't afford hurt feelings either.

It is a difficult situation for an underclassman. The reaction of the other kid will determine the amount of success this team has the rest of the year.

Can't believe that the thread is quiet with a quaterback change in the making. I'm curious, will starting a freshman quarterback give Ashland a better chance to win?

No, but playing time might.

Like I said wasn't there don't know the story, when I turned on the radio I thought that it was odd. Up 4 scores, I would have guessed that the second string would be in with 2 or 3 minutes left in the game. I'm not from either school, just curious is all.

Wasn't there, don't know the scoop, but did find it curious as to why Breathitt was throwing the football up 4 touchdowns and only a couple of minutes remaining.

History would tell you that a transfer of this type will warrant a five game suspension or something like that. I guess that ruling would apply.

Why can't we go to a draft league?

Does anyone know what Ivan's record against Ashland is?

Mr. Damron was a quality man that raised a quality family. My prayers go out to the family. Our loss is heaven's gain.

Why is it considered an evenly called game when fouls and foul shots are close? The amount of fouls and free throws should never enter an officials mind nor should they be a judging point of fairness by the supporters of a team.

That is great to know.

Please don't let individual differences cause this team to implode. A little temperance now could mean huge things in two years. I am not from Sandy Hook but I want to see local teams get some statewide recognition and this bunch has an opportunity to do that over the next three years. Good luck in Richmond.

Never said it was illegal. I said that it is the parent's choice and I hope that it is in the best interest of the kid. I also said that I really don't care. The other thing that I mentioned was that it is larger competitive advantage in middle school than high school. I even got Frances to concur. Therefore no need to check the KHSAA By-laws.

I don't understand why the number of fouls or free throws for that matter have to be equal for a game to be well officiated. I would not want an official to be concerned about the number of fouls on each team and keeping them even. You are just asking for questionable whistles if that is one of their goals. Out of curiousity, how many fouls, in your opinion did the young Mr. Jackson get away with?

If Ashland can bring the energy that they showed last night I think they win by 8-10. If they do not it will be a coin toss.

Holdbacks will always be an issue and until kids are mature it matters. If you think it cannot be a competetive advantage consider this I know of a situation where two boys who attend the same school pitched against each other in a little league all star game and both were league age 12. One of those boys is in the 10th grade now and one is in the 8th grade now. I don't care why really, I trust the parents make choices that are best for the child. I have not seen the 8th grader play basketball but I would feel safe to say the he has an advantage over those he is playing against at that level. As the kids get older, those advantages tend to disappear.

Does Knipp start? If he and Maynard are coming off the bench they are getting a lot of scoring outside the starting five.

The same way that Marshall beats Virginia Tech who beats Duke and UNC.

I agree with a big emphasis on "the right time". I just think right now there are two that have separated themselves. If Elliott wins tomorrow they will have tourney experience this year as well as last year.
