Mack The Knife

Walter Brennan had a Top 5 hit in 1962 with “Old Rivers”.

The NBA’s most underrated player. A statement that would have been unfathomable 40 years ago.

This post even further elevates the legacy of Jon Jones. If that is even possible.

Sounds like the Gallatin-Owen game in the 31st District semifinals. Gallatin trailed 33-10 at halftime and went to a full court press to start the 3rd quarter. Coach Jones instructed his players to foul on every defensive possession because the officials can’t or won’t call them all. They got within 74-71 with 24 seconds left before losing 76-71.

Alone-Heart I hear the ticking of the clock

I will note that a lot years the 8th still had some District finals on Saturday. But I remember a few times they didn’t and still had the draw on Sunday.

Ain’t that the truth!

If my math is correct he is averaging 40.2 over his last 5 games. And last night’s 52 came on just 23 shots. 18-23 field goals and 13-18 free throws.

And 61 in the second half. Should have noted that Gallatin went to full court press to start the third quarter and forced numerous turnovers to get back in it. The flip side of it was foul trouble soon started to mount.

Final from New Castle. Owen’s Teagan Moore scored 52 points as the Rebels held off a furious Wildcat rally to end Gallatin’s run of 4 straight District titles. Owen led 33-10 at halftime, but Gallatin pulled within 74-71 with 24 seconds left. Ashton Gullion led the Cats with 15 points. Heckuva 4 year run by the seniors. Just came up a bit short against a great player.

A carbon copy of the first game in Warsaw. The Panthers only field goal of the first half came with 2:20 left in the second quarter as Gallatin took a 22-7 halftime lead. Carroll cut the lead to 34-32 after three quarters and took a 38-36 midway through the final quarter. The Wildcats regained the lead and led 50-48 with 5 seconds remaining. After a pair of missed free throws (Gallatin was 8 for 21), Carroll missed a game tying attempt at the buzzer. Gallatin advances to face top seeded Owen County at 6:00 tonight in New Castle.

The movie that propelled Scorsese and DeNiro to superstardom. DeNiro had won Best Supporting Actor for The Godfather Part II two years earlier in a non-English speaking role, but this is where he showed off his acting skills. He lost 35 pounds and drove a taxi cab for a few months to prepare for the role. Scorsece used New York as a character as much as any of the actors. A brilliant character study that is definitely not for everyone. The final sequence is still being debated as to whether it was real or Travis dreamed it.

Two straight wins in Crestwood for the Wildcats. They won 79-75 in February 2019.

Final from Crestwood. The Wildcats bounce back in impressive fashion after letting one get away in Owenton the night before. Ashton Gullion scored a career high 30, including 15 in the first quarter when the Wildcats took control. Logan Riddle added 14 points and 8 rebounds. Gallatin now stands at 12-7 after their 11th victory in 13 games.

That should read Terrell with 14. Skidmore with 9.
