Amen, and this is coming from a true Bobcat, Marty Reagan is in a class by himself. Shawn Robbins would be second. Both play in the toughest classification in the state (3A). The rest are good players but not in this league. Jones from Belfry would be third.

1. Bell Co. Dudley has never had a losing season in 31 years. 2. Belfry- Coach Haywood one of the winningest coaches in the State 3. Rockcastle- Larkey 1 losing season in his career 4. Breathitt Co.- 3 state championship in a row, tougher region and semi state 5. Middlesboro- going down hill quick, better make changes soon.

Breeding is a good player and can not or will not out run Slusher, not in the same league as Slusher. Slusher has a 35 in. vert, 4.68 (40) 4.16 in the pro shuttle. Has made unofficial visits to Duke,Tenn,Lousiville,Kentucky. Auburn coach made a visit to the school and Wake Forest coach. 6'3 1/2 228

He did play the entire game, but was hurting near the end when the injury occurred. I believe it was the same injury, although I may be wrong!

I must have been mistaken then. It was rumored some of the players quit, but I take it that wasnt the case.

:laugh:

That may be the view you and other Corbin fans have of Kirk. However, I know that when I was a player and the coaches that I knew then dreaded playing Corbin when Kirk has one of your games. I think in the case you are speaking about you ran into the team Charlie Kirk loves more then Corbin.... CLAY! :thumb:

Yeah it does and then again no it doesnt. Probably just coach speak in all honesty. I know personally that from a coaches perspective, saying that it was their "best game" to the media could be a way of softening the loss for Corbin, while simultaneously pouring salt on their wounds. It could also be a way of saying that SL is progressing each game and getting better with each game. It could also mean several things: Could mean it was there most complete game, could mean it was there best defensive game, could mean ....etc etc etc. It obviously wasnt there best scoring game which is a credit to the Corbin defense. I'm really not sure what "Its obvious this was the best game weve played so far" really means. I wouldnt put to much into it, considering that after a HUGE, RIVALRY win most coaches say this as a way to pat their team and staff on the back for a job well done.

In defense of The Riot. I dont think he was arguing that SL didnt get a fair shake, but was just trying to say that officiating had no outcome on the score of the SL Corbin game. Addout made a comment that SL playing at home had an outcome on the SL Corbin game, and that the game would have been closer at Corbin. It seemed that Addout was insinuating that officials played a role in the final score of the SL Corbin game. The Riot was just arguing that if the officials were anything to Corbin, it was that they were very kind and if this game had been played at Corbin, the outcome would have been no different. :thumb:

I think if any team has an argument to be #2, BESIDES North Laurel, it would be Clay, and possible Barbourvile. Clay could argue the #2 spot for the sole reason that they have played no 13th region opponents at this point in the season, and therefore are sort of an unknown in how they will fare against other 13th region teams. Barbourville could argue the #2 spot because they have been very solid this season, despite their loss to Cawood. Barbourville's loss to Cawood at Barbourville is too much for me to put Barbourville at #2 over North Laurel (who beat that same Cawood team). However in the Cawood loss several of Barbourville's best players, including Cox, did not play. Not sure how strong an argument this is for Barbourville being #2, but I could see how one could see it this way. I personally believe NL is #2, and dont see how you can argue otherwise when you look at what they have done thus far this season, ON THE COURT. However, I could see where Clay and Barbourville could have an argument for being #2. Thats the only teams I could see having an argument for being #2 though.

1.)My bad on the math. I just remember SL being up by close to 40 (may have been 40+) at one point and mistook that for the final score. My apologies. 2.)Still yet, a 35 point win compared to an 18 point win. You are talking about a 17 point swing due to home court advantage. That doesnt even match up with your 10 point theory. Come on. Even if we go with your 10 points home court advantage theory, then you are still saying that SL would only beat Corbin by 25 at Corbin and NL would get beat by 28 at SL. In this case NL is still 7 points (25-18=7) better then Corbin based on the outcomes of their games against SL & if your theory is correct. I dont even think your theory really applies in the SL Corbin game however, considering the officials for the game were a Pro-Corbin officiating crew. Everyone that knows SEKY basketball knows that Charlie Kirk and his crew are the kindest crew Corbin could have asked for in the SL game. If you were at the game (which you may have been) then youd know Corbin got the majority of the questionable calls. If not for Kirk and his crew Corbin could have gotten beat alot worse. 3.)IMO it would have been just as bad for Corbin at Corbin, and most who saw the SL Corbin game IMO would agree (unless of course you are from Corbin). Corbin was outmatched and outmanned before the game even started, and once the whistle blew they got outhustled and outplayed. It would have been no different at Corbin. But I guess we all are entitled to our opinions, and they really dont mean squat anyways. :thumb: 4 and 5.) If Im not mistaken, you may have the oppurtunity to see both of these games later on in the season! The real reason we are discussing this though is because you didnt think NL was neccesarily the #2 team in the region. IMO, the way NL played SL at NL isnt even the best evidence for NL being #2. It's just icing on the cake. IMO, the best evidence is the fact that NL beat Cawood by 15. When you look at the fact that Cawood beat Corbin, Barbourville, and Bell (who beat Harlan last night) I dont see how you DONT put NL at #2. The only team I think that can make a legit argument for being #2, besides NL, is Clay Co. However, they havent played any 13th region games, and so are still somewhat of an unknown when comparing them to NL. On a side note: the NL Cawood game was at NL. So using your 10 point theory, NL still beats Cawood by 5 at Cawood. Just an interesting tidbit. Also, SL and Cawood matchup tommorrow night at SL. :thumb:

So you mean to tell me that NL playing SL to within 18 points at NL is the same as SL dismantling Corbin by 40 at SL. This would mean that if SL played Corbin at Corbin, that SL would only win by 18. So SL's homecourt advantage over Corbin was good for 22 points. Doubt it. SL is just that much better then Corbin. SL's homecourt advantage over Corbin meant nothing in their win. Here is why: 1.)Corbin had the best officials it could hope for in the SL game, the beloved Charlie Kirk crew. 2.)Its not as if Corbin had to drive across the state to get to SL, so you cant tell me that travel time played a factor. 3.)Corbin had just as many fans at the game as SL, and there student section was almost as impressive. 4.)Its not as if NL's officials stuck it to SL when SL played at NL. It was a very good officiated game, so its not as if NL's officials influenced the final score of the game or made NL any better of a team by giving them all the calls. IMO, and I'm willing to bet most ppl's, if SL played Corbin at Corbin, it would be a pretty similar outcome, and if NL played SL at SL it would have probably been a pretty similiar outcome as well.

:thumb: i think those reasons are very convincing. although I would debate you on the best backcourt in the region, but thats another story. NL's backcourt is very solid though. I think the most convincing reason is that they beat Cawood as solidly as they did (considering how Cawood has played since then) and played SL better then anyone in the region.

I was hoping that my bobocats would be a contender, but Ryan Whitaker broke a bone in his foot against Harlan and is out for 4- 6 weeks

1. Corbin 2. North 3. South 4. Bell co. 5. Whitley co. You can take it to the bank, that 1,3,or 5 will not even make it to the region in "06" because they are in the same district.

Greer is at Bell til his son graduates. Bell program is a much better program than Corbin and this would be a bad move for him.

This is such a joke, Greer was back at Bell in early July and practice hadn't even started. Whitaker never ran Greer off no field, True Redhound you need to get your facts right before posting lies.

Heres where you are totally off base.... I never disrepect Clay. I only say NL is #2 and then you want to disrespect NL. I actually have Clay ranked higher then you. You act like I disrepect Clay, but I have never done so, unless you call ranking NL ahead of them disrepectful. I think you are the one with the hurt feelings since you are the one who started this whole mess. I really could care less if you dont agree with me, just dont disrespect NL or my opinions. :thumb:

Its not just this post when i refer to blasting... but the fact that you continually want to start stuff with me because I feel NL is #2. Its like you hunt my posts down. So once again... I say whats your deal? You just love disrespecting NL.

This was your quote in response to me stating that NL was the #2 team in the region. Thats my deal.

My deal = I posted that NL was the #2 team in the region in the NL-Leslie thread. I never even mentioned Clay in that post at all. Then you come out and blast me and my opinions instead of just stating what your opinion was. So............. I would ask you the same thing, what was your deal! If you cant stand the heat, dont walk into the kitchen!

So you have seen NL. You mentioned in a previous thread that your opinion of the NL-Leslie game was based on watching NL lose to Clay last season. Kinda sounds like you havent seen NL this season either? Or maybe I misunderstood?

Did not know Cox didnt play. That changed things in my opinion as well. I would say my top 5 looks like yours defender. Although Id say Cawood and Barbourville are close.

Im not on Clays back... just dont think they are as good as you and one other poster likes to make them out to be. Just my opinion though. You are entitled to yours as well and Im sorry if it bothers you that I dont agree. Also, I dont think avg points mean anything when you factor in competition. NL has obviously played the tougher schedule then B'ville.
