COMET75

West's hopes of defeating Fairview were dashed when Casey Jones broke a bone in the top of his foot during a practice session on Friday prior to the regional tournament. Two minutes later after Jones' freak accident, Justin Wolfe (Center) suffered a concussion requiring several stitches. Neither player practiced for three days and a game time decision was made on both Jones and Wolfe. Jones gave a gutty performance with 16 pionts, but could not move laterally. Wolfe was ineffective and played limited minutes. West had a difficult time matching up against Fairview. West would have played Russell (Region Champs) next had they beaten Fairview. Defeating Russell would have been a difficult task with a healthy Jones and Wolfe.

Yes, Coach Webb and Aaron Rayburn's mother are first cousins. Also, Taylor Webb and Aaron Rayburn are first cousins.

Not his nephew. Taylor Webb is Terrell Webb's son. Terrell and Jeremy Webb are first cousins.

Now that right there is funny!

Tuesday as in today (Apr 22) or a week from today?

The Comets improve to 3-5.

Tell us!!!!

Absolutely agree. That's the best I've ever seen!

Officials are going to make honest mistakes, but one call clearly stands out from last night's game. The two officials nearest this particular play ruled a jump ball; however, the official who was the farthest away came in and overruled the other two officials and called a foul on Barker. In my humble opinion, this trio lost their credibility for the remainder of the game. I also think there should be some stipulation on officials not officiating games at their alma mater. Officiating is a tough job and I don't see too many people standing in line to include me.

Should be a great game. Both teams coming off losses.

Game will be played at West. Bo Thompson for West has played well lately! He's 6'7" and could give Bath some trouble both inside and outside.

True, very true!

Elliott vs Morgan East vs West

Bert scored around 3,125 points. He graduated in 1959 and had no 3 point line. I believe he scored about 50 of those points as an 8th grader.

West will play much better defense than the first game vs Elliott. Don't think it will be a huge blow out.

This game should have more of a tournament atmosphere that did the first game. Elliott-72 East-55

As for the officiating, are you referring to Bobby Hall's blown call in the final seconds?

Good point. I would imagine this situation has already occured more than once in the past. I wonder if there is a possible 16th region connection although I realize this is a hypothetical situation??

Don't think it will be by 30. East can play defense and I believe their guards will take care of the ball.

I believe this game was played in Button Auditorium at MSU. Cornett had 44 points the first half. The Carter City coach (Paul Webb) told his Carter Wildcats they better not allow Cornett to score another 44 points the second half. Cornett only scored 43 points the second half as the story goes.

I believe this is correct for the boys' games and times for the Jack Fultz Classic on Saturday, November 17th, 2007 at West Carter. 12:30: Jackson City vs Menifee County 3:30: East Carter vs Bracken County 5:00: Elliott County vs Georgetown, Ohio 8:00: West Carter vs Postsmouth, West

GoRadio knows his stuff. East Boys won from 1988 to 1993 (6 seasons), West (1994, 1995, 1996), Lewis (1997), East (1998), West (1999), Lewis (2000, 2001), Elliott (2002), East (2003), Lewis (2004), East (2005), and Elliott (2006, 2007)

Isn't the 62nd District Tournament at Elliott County this year?

Yes it is!

You are correct. West also had the Burchett twins who graduated.
