scorekeeper

I know nothing about Paintsville, so couldn't possibly make a guess with score. Does anybody have any info on Ferguson's injury from the Greenup game?

I bet the game was rescheduled so the Elliott staff can watch the All-A 15th region tourney. I don't think that Fairview is afraid to play Elliott again, but I am sure they are not wanting a repeat score.

I wondered why RH dropped Elliott. They used to play the first game of teh season.

I have to believe that Elliott is the most fun to watch. Here's hoping for a trip to Rupp!

I thought the fans were both well behaved. Raceland's clapping as Elliott's starters are pulled--Elliott's did the same. As far as the officials go, it's very subjective. Subjective on their part, and even more so on ours--I didn't like all the calls, but neither did Raceland's crowd. No one could convince me that either official was bias. I make mistakes when doing my job--as do they when doing theirs.

I am glad that the Carter County Station carries Elliott when possible. Since Sandy Hook has no radio station, it isn't often that the elderly of the county can hear the play by play. "Thanks GORADIO for being involved!"

Is this an extension of the previous suspension, or an entirely different one? Has G.C. not completed the investigation, or are there new allegations?

Whoa! Didn't see that one coming. Not looking fwd to the rematch of Elliott and Raceland. Raceland plays very rough at home. It's a hard place to win.

MSU does not charge the 16th region for use of Johnson Arena....In fact they donate all proceeds from concessions to each district (on a rotating basis)--as if the district itself hosted the tourney. I am sure that NKU would probably work on a similar basis.

I didn't learn much about the So. Charleston team from this thread. I have to assume that is because little is known about them. That's fine...I just wish peple could say "I don't know." The family tree stuff is great though--if I were only interested.

I believe the estimates were a little more than 2,000 from Elliott last year watched the Regional Finals--with Russell around 1,200. It's been a time since that game....but I THINK I am correct. I think Elliott fans travel well.

Does anybody know anything about So. Charleton? I know they played closely (relatively speaking) with Huntington H.S. What are thier weapons?

The Eastern Kentucky Conference. Good..my source was less than reliable, so I was hoping that he was wrong.

I heard a rumor the other day that several school will be leaving the EKC next season. Anybody have any more info on which schools are considering the pull-out? What ratonale are they giving?

I guess that's a good way to look at it. THe "no-calls" did go both ways in the game....Can't say that there was any lopsided officiating.

I didn't pick out any particular play. I found nothing wrong with the time-out....BUT the "walks" I refer to didn't just "look funny." They were legitimate walks. A Boyd player held the ball to his hip and took a sold step. Two Elliott players stopped dribbling--but didn't stop moving--in the final minute of the game. I understand that officiating is an ambigious profession--I just really hate to see the fundamental elements of the game (walks, double dribbles, carrying the ball, 3 seconds in the paint) all ignored.

Don't think I agree that Boyd "gift wrapped" it for Ellliott. After all, Elliott had the lead most the game (with the exception of the 3rd quarter). I was impressed with both school...HOWEVER, do officials simply not call "walks" anymore? In my opinion both teams got away with multiple travels????

West is much better than I thought they would be..I still think an Elliott win > 20 though....I am glad that Coach W. has his team working hard though!

The East Carter pep section utilizes modern equipment in thier cheering. A dry erase board is used to relay messages to onlookers. Just a little note for you guys.....You can't read a dry erase board from the back of a classroom let alone in a gym....inside the gym it looks like you are holding up a 2 x3 white poster board with nothing on it. It makes it look like you all can't afford a giant sharpie...or can't write??? Get one of the SUPER dry erase markers...it would be better.

that stand for Elliott Has This One In The Bag....Go Lions

ehtoitb....gl

Let's see..um....Ashland didn't invite Bath or Meniffee last season. If they wanted weak talent...then those were the schools to invite. Don't get me wrong...I always root for whoever is playing against Ashland...they stack the tourney...that's obvious. They tourney has lost its prestige...Was once the premiere holiday tourney...now it's a laugh. HOWEVER--they still have a decent little get together with some strong local talent~and some moderate state talent. (there is a difference between strong local and moderate state talent too).

Who knows if this will happen or not. RH seems to have some issues with keeping thier kids there....when...um...maybe better offers come along...or whatever..... Shouldn't OJ and some others still be in school at RH?

or any team that makes it out of the 15 or 16th region...as I see it..neither of those schools have "punched" thier tickets yet. How would the last team in the 7th region feel about playing Elliott in the Sweet 16....probably like any other team in the state....fortunate to be there. How would Trinity feel about playing for the KHSAA-PRIVATE SCHOOL STATE CHAMPIONSHIP?---

Why not? THey have been involved in the tourney in the past... Ashland likes to have strong local talent as well.
