I agree with your conclusion (that the two teams coming out of the 64th will do well at the Regional Tournament, and that none of them should be throwing in the towel. And since this will be your last post in this thread, let me say once again, how nice it is to see that NO ONE from Rose Hill is blaming the referees. :thumb: Frances

My apologies, Duck. You were also quite the soothsayer in your pregame prediction. You know that all of the girls at the Ladies' Auxiliary can't help clucking about you, but I was remiss in not giving you your due. Frances

I think that's a fair question, Westsider, but I think that, without a doubt, as BogeyMan said, they are simply a young team that has run into a couple of well prepared teams that outplayed them on that given night. Also, like BogeyMan, I believe that Rose Hill is far from being "dead". They will (like several teams in the 16th) be a very tough out when the tournaments begin. Frances

I agree, completely with this statement. I think that the point that ZoneBuster was making was not the fact that each school has kids that are holdbacks. We all know that every school has such kids. I think ZoneBuster's point was not that the kids are holdbacks, but that Scooterbob's statement that "They are very young ..." is misleading, since, chronolgically speaking, these kids are (in many cases) the same age. Frances

Or is it possible that this is based upon a decent level of personal view of the situation, with the natural bias that we all carry? Frances

Truly a typo for the ages. Frances

Well, to be fair, Dickie does call many games while taking his feet out of his loafers. Frances

I realize that not all RH fans are saying that the refs stole the game, but looking at the first quote, I would have to disagree with your statement that "NO ONE is saying that the referees stole the game". Frances

I've never seen Dickie call a game with his shirt tail out... Frances

I wasn't at the game, and I didn't even get to listen to it on the internet. I only wish that Ashland had earned the win, instead of having the refs give it to them. Frances

If I'm in town, I could only hope that someone such as yourself (or that handsome, young Scott Pope) could come all the way down I-64 instead of taking the Bluegrass Parkway, and pick me up at the home. I'd love to see the Royalettes play again, and I KNOW that they are better than the outing at Bellarmine. Frances

That is good news, Gerty. Let's hope that it works out. Frances

It's been over an hour since the game ended. I'm sure that the traffic coming out of Anderson Gymnasium was fairly heavy - it looks like there are several posters that may be caught in the traffic. Frances

I would agree with that statement, BB. Completely. Frances

My pleasure, BB. I just wish I had more for you. Frances

From that comment, it looks like you were able to attend, JB. For my money, Wilcox is one of the most underrated players in the entire 16th Region. Great kid, tremendous work ethic, non-stop hustle, and a clutch shooter that can get on a roll. Frances

Good question, Blues Brother. I'd like to see some stats as well. I got online just as they were signing off, but I did hear that Thomas had 15 for Ashland, Wilcox had 12, McDavid had 11 (I believe) and I missed a few seconds of the broadcast. When I got it back, they said the Euton had 12 or 14, and Chad Jackson and Fuller had 9 each for Rose Hill. Hopefully, someone will have more complete stats for us soon. Frances

I have to say that I was rooting for Ashland, but Wireman's prediction was extremely close. Congrats to Biggs and the Cats, and good luck to Rose Hill the rest of the way. Without a doubt, the 64th district will still be a dogfight. Even though the margin was larger than most thought it would be, Rose Hill will bounce back from this one. Frances

... and that's about all you can do wif crow ... Frances

If there has been wrongdoing, I couldn't care less about the cost. Doing what is right may, in fact, cost the tax payers some money. C'est la vie. Allowing wrongdoing to continue because of the price to stop it is shortsighted. Notice that I am not saying that there was wrongdoing - that will be decided by people other than me. My point is that money should not preclude a search for the truth. Let the chips fall where they may. Frances

He's such a loveable duck ... how could you resist a bill like that? Frances

That Gerty - she's a pantaloon ruffler from way back. :thumb: Frances

I'll try to remain above the fray on this one, but I do have to point out that "They" is, in fact, "We". You vote, just as those of us that have children in public schools do. Therefore, if you wish to stop the public financing of education, all you have to do is get a legislator to propose such a law, or find a way to get such a referendum on the ballot, then get it passed.
