He had 19 despite the death of his grandfather Sat. night

34 free throws by Lee 16 by Estill - Pelphrey is much improved Charles made 16 free throws for his 26. Both teams played hard and will see each other in Estill and in the districts - Estill Guys - I love you - you are playing your hearts out. It will come together I promise

2 20 minute halves running clock

Scrimmage ended in a tie. Cackling was great with 45 points and Hoover was equally impressive with no practices off a state regional football last night and still scored 25. Depth at the big men slots is much improved. Estill will only get better

I think this move will help the player (getting ready to play college ball) but may well hurt the team (he was very good at using the screens his teammates set for him). Only time will tell.

Never be able able to replace Christopher - but this team I believe - will take on a new persona and be just fine. Cackling is a top 5 player and Hoover will step up to be a top 10-15 player and Roberts is a great Athlete. If they find the inside play with Wiseman and the duo of 6'4" sophs then they will crack the top 4-5, and be a favorite in the district.

Co-favorite IMO Estill has 4 starters returning and a district championship Freshman class that are going to be sophs

Cackling Had 17 points and 6 assists and Hoover had 11 for the 56th underclassmen. Christopher had 14 points in the 55/56th Senior win. Wilson led the seniors with 19.

It is tournament time - all bets are off. All logic goes out the window. In regards to saying Estill with an early exit - It is going to be a tough thing to get them out the door. Perry Central beat them in OT on the same floor and needed a half court shot at the buzzer of regulation. Cordia beat them 5. Breathitt beat them 3 at Breathitt. Hazard and LCC are clear favorites over Estill the rest are toss ups.

Now - That is Funny!!!!!:laugh:

Ther aren't too many walkovers come tourney time - teams tend to be more focused and the difference was Evans starting fand playing most of the game for the Owls. He should have been starting all year IMO. Congrats Owls you deserve alot of credit for your effort. Christopher 28 points 7 assists Cackling 19 points 5 assists Evans 24 pts McIntosh 19 pts

Rest assured the Engineers have taken notice and will be ready for a fight in that first district game.

I want to add that he jumped caught the ball at the top of his leap - then landed - then turned and then shot.

It was a great shot. It wasn't the kids fault - as usual it is an adult issue. It was 1.2 seconds from catch to shot and 1.7 seconds from catch to horn. Verified by film. The play began with 0.6 seconds on the clock. Congratulations Bobcats.

If Estill Loses the last two: Powell would have to beat Estill by more than 11 points at Estill to be Number seed.

Very Hard Collision on a Block/Charge Call. He hit the floor and may have broken ribs and or Back Injury.

Matt was removed by stretcher tonight - Prayers from Estill, Matt Get well soon.
