Wasn't the Fugate one of the kids who quit last season who at the time was playing the point? Kids demanding a certain position or they will not play sounds interesting....I personally prefer those kids who have the heart and desire to want to play for the love of the game versus those that only want what they think is best for them. A good coach IMO plays to win by maximizing the talent pool within the team that he/she may have while maintaining the proper chemistry among the players.

Hazard played like a well oiled machine. KUDOS to Cordia as they gave it their all. Great season for such a small school. Good luck to Hazard!

PCC over Breathitt by double digits

Congrats Estill!

I have been totally impressed with the Wallen kids performances as of late. Good win for Somerset!

I agree that the Owls have made much overall improvements under coach Noble and his staff and the future does look more promising but the facts at the end of the season IMO do not justify a "great season". When "great" becomes winning 5 games a year and losing 21, ranking 4th in the seeded district and losing the 1st game in post season play there are some issues. I think the more operative word would have been an "impressive" final game IMO.

PCC is a diffrerent team right now as is Powell. Earlier, Powell had the positive momemtum and it has left as a tougher schedule has approached. PCC's momentum has shifted positively to following the coaches expectations. Both teams will be tough for post season IMO.

Knox played well...The score surprised me when you look at past scores and wins that Corbin has put up thus far this year.

I was impressed w/ Lee. Hazard did not play their best and was primed for an upset. Good job on the effort that the Bobcats put forth. I was glad to see thes two schools play tonight...a lot of games got cancelled which is going to make the rest of the tournament tough for who ever comes out.

Coaches come and they go....when you talk about the love of the game and the countless hours a coach dedicates to his team it is apparant that either 1. administrators are not equal to work with/for from a coaching perspective while some are more athletic minded and understand all factors while others it pains to be around any sport and who want to maintain total control within the school or 2. sometimes apparant better opportunities come around that make the move from one job easier than staying. Politics( that is what we call things that don't go the way we think it should) is directly involved in every school in the state which often adds another element to the whole coaching senerio...being able to work with the administrators within a school district. Coaching is a tough job!

I hope that the coaching drama in Owsley like has occurred in the past years(boys and girls) settles down so that the attention can focus on the student athletes...not adults.

Great ballgame..Powell really played well down the stretch. What is the 56th district standings? Where is the District played at??

Very good ballgame to watch. The two new kids really make them a contender in the 14th. Hazard maybe the most athletic team in the 14th along with the most experienced coaching staff IMO.

Good job Owls...nice ralley in the 4th quater. According to the paper this AM they were down 11 going into the 4th. Outscoring an opponent 29 to 13(16 points)in one quater is impressive. Any stats??

IMO....I feel that the choice to stay of go has been left up to the coach...not inside pressure. Better/various opportunities, more control over the program, travel time to and from Owsley County all play a role in the decision for a coach to stay or go at Owsley.
