Wish our board would agree. :sssh:

Good win for the Bobcats, and great to see Thomas battle back from a four run deficit to win the ballgame. I don't believe I have seen a player in quite some time that plays with the emotion that Thomas does! Christopher for the Engineers appears to be just as talented in baseball as he is in basketball. The field looks great. Wonder if Coach Combs would like to offer landscaping advice on my yard :lol:

I believe Congleton pitched for the Owls and there were no homers in this game. Congleton looked a little unsettled all night and seemed to have difficulty with control, throwing behind batters and hitting three ... maybe more. He really seemed out of his element, which is not like him at all. Hope everything is all right. Lee's fielding did a great job too. Congrats Bobcats, and Congrats to Owsley for making it to the finals.

Noone has mentioned here about Caleb Fetters going down in the middle of the 4th. Scary moment and I wish him well. That seemed to take the wind out of the Lee sails when Fetters hit the floor. Hopefully his ankle will get better very soon and it isn't serious.

Either way, regardless of whether they play or not being sick is not going to help.

Actually spoke to one of the mentioned players at lunchtime, when he returned from the doctor... but had been hearing the rumor since last night.

Kind of concerned for my Bobcats tonight. Justin Liesegang has the flu as does Landan Johnson and both are out of tonights game. Justin started every game this year and Landan was our in our first group of subs. Lee will have to play harder than all year shorthanded and we will need big games from Devin Taulbee and Dustin Liesegang tonight. Either way, get well soon.

That seems a little disrespectful to me. I don't think Lee has allowed more than 2 people to score 30 all season. They are defensivley sound. Very quick and very "in your face" with the D. Its not impossible for him to score 30, but I think unlikely.

I disagree. Lee has the deepest bench for sure. 9 deep. They consistantly go 7 or 8 deep every game and they have a really good freshman in Aaron Charles that comes in at times for shooting. Lee has the best bench, but I agree that Estill is deep as well.

I pick Estill because of their experience and ability to stay calm no matter what the situation on the floor is. JBS is young and from the games I've heard on the radio seem to play young... not always focused. Should be a good game though but I think Estill pulls it out in the fourth quarter and wins by double digits. Let's please stay on topic and try to not let this distintergrate into some silly sandbox fight.

Perhaps Estill should've played Riverside and Piarst a coupla times to boost their Cantrall. hehehehe. Just kidding. Makes it look like tonights game should be a close one.

Yes, Fetters didn't play much last year but improved greatly over the summer. How many players did Leslie lose last year? I picked Leslie to win the region before the season started. They have played inconsistant maybe because of injuries. I have alot of respect for the Leslie players and coaches. I am pulling for my Bobcats though to pull the upset.

I agree Professor. Sometimes, IMO, people tend to only look at points scored to judge a player's ability and there are a lot of things other than score a player can do. To take nothing away from Fetters, he is one great player, I just believe Tyler has a leadership quality on the floor that sometimes goes unnoticed (a la Chuck Hayes @ UK).

I pick JC in this one, but Cordia could prove me wrong. Not that I don't have faith in the talent and ability of the Tigers (they are one heck of a team); but I think Cordia is not someone to be taken lightly either.

I take Estill; they are cool headed and have plenty of heart to go around. I enjoy watching these guys play.

I don't know I can see Wolfe taking Hazard out; it happened in the all A. Who knows though just depends on if Stamper can play well and if Gilbert can stay out of foul trouble and keep his head on straight. I think Hazard will probably win, but I think it will be close.

Should be an interesting matchup, I kinda figured Lee would draw Leslie. Hate that we got the late game but C'est La Vie as they say. I can't wait.

Lee has to play Owsley twice, as this district seeds (apparently something JBS would know little about ) and then Lee played Owsley in the all A after Owsley advanced by beating JBS, and Lee played Owsley a fourth time in the district tournament. Don't know why I'm explaining this.... I may do better to write it in Chinese.:jump: Anyway, great game by both teams. I believe Tyler Rich deserved MVP. He earned it and while he may have had an off shooting night, Tyler does a lot more on and off the floor than people realize. He is a great motivator and one down night cannot negate all the nights (including the first round game at Owsley) that he hits his shots and is one of the better players on the floor. Rich also draws defenders inside to allow for open threes. Overall, I'm proud of my Bobcats! This team doesn't seem to get down or intimidated and seems to play with thier heads almost all the time. I don't know what it is about Coach Wright that sticks in people's crawl, I personally love him and love his coaching style! I enjoy the enthusiasm he brings to the game and how he fires up his players, but to each his own. Guess I'm just that old school Bobby Knight/Rick Pitino fire brand kinda fan! That being said, I can't help but love the heart and total determination that this Estill team puts forth, especially Clint Dixon who is, IMO, one of the top three players in the region! The Engineers should hold their head high and be congratulated on a game well played! I for one was glad that there weren't any pesky signs ;) ;) The fans were great, the Lee Co. gym was Rockin' almost the entire game!!!! I couldn't help but think while I was there that this is what basketball is all about! Great game and sportsmanship by everyone. Good luck against JBS Estill. I know you'll represent the 56th well!!!:dancingpa :dancingpa

does anyone know what time Lee and Leslie plays?

any one know who Estill is playing?

In my opinion Larry Stamper was the best ball player to come out of Lee County. He led the Bobcats to the State Semi Finals where they lost in overtime to Louisville, Seneca. There's a pretty good article at http://www.kentucky.com/mld/kentucky/sports/columnists/mark_story/11134821.htm i advise those who attended small schools to read and for anyone at that matter. Another Lee County great that has been forgotten is none other than Orvis Spencer. Spencer as a sophomore helped take the Bobcats to the Sweet 16 in '73 but were defeated in the first round. After his sophomore year the 6'10'' center's glory days seemed to fade due to whatever...I'm really not sure what happened, i'm assuming maybe personal issues. If anybody remembers when Orvis played please respond to help others know how good he was and how good he COULD HAVE BEEN had whatever happened gone the other way. I'm too young to have watched either of these two play but if anybody has any stories please share...

I pick Hazard because I think they are riding high off their win against PCC and that momentum will boost them. However, I will not be surprised to see Leslie win, as they are a great team and capable of winning. Should be a fun one.

I listened to this one on the radio and whew was it ever a long one. The announcers said that Gilbert threw a punch???? And then Fugate???? What was going on on the floor. Man were there ever a lot of fouls called in this one. Congrats to Jackson City.

I'm going to pick Jackson City in this one.

Should be exciting. I'm glad for both Rich and Dixon because their seasons will at least go on at least one more game beyond this game and hopefully more. I can't wait!!!!!
