I think this is what most people are expecting, and I hope you're right, but I've seen crazier things. The only way I see Walton staying within 15 points is if Simon Kenton comes out completely flat and Walton is hitting everything they throw up. I think the big 3 of Hester, Elbert, and Hurd will be too much, far too much.

Final.

Yes.

I understand that there is no avoiding it, but I'm saying that besides that, there is absolutely, positively no need to play this game.

So you've seen everybody in the state play? If so, then please, tell us all. If not, let us stick to saying who we want, and you stick to yours.

It has worked fine for many many years. There's absolutely no need to change it now.

Once again, are you saying Simon Kenton is at fault for this?

I hope you're not implying the Simon Kenton did something wrong by playing how they did. It's not their option to play this game, and they have to make an effort. If Simon Kenton's JV took over in the second quarter, I don't see much else for the Pioneers to do. I really, really hope you're not placing blame on SK for this. :confused:

It does Williamstown no good as well. There is no need for this game to be played.

I'm not sure at this point I'd take Holmes over Desales or Doss, and I think it'd be a pretty big upset if Holmes beat Mason. Holmes has the talent to do so, but actually putting it together could be a different story. Either way, I'd love to see a NKY team win this.

Nice.:thumb:

Those teams can say what they want, their words would be very tough to back up though, Holmes and CovCath both look strong once again.

Agreed, SK/Scott is a huge rivalry, the talent doesn't always match the score. Scott left everything on the floor Friday night, I'm sure it didn't help to play a great team the very next night. I also do not think that any team getting crushed by Mason County discredits their talent, I think the Royals have proved to be a decent team.

I am in Lexington and I want updates too.... guess we're not getting any....

Vice versa for me.

If you scroll down a little bit you get a nice picture of a SK football player in short shorts. Its amazing.

Great Game! Scott lead for the majority of the game, they did a great job neutralizing Hester with the double team, and forced other SK players to step up. They had control until about 5 minutes left when SK over came a 9 point deficit to eventually lead by as much as 6 with under 3 minutes. A few costly SK turnovers, and a great play by Scott's pg Nathan Sharp brought Scott all the way back and to a 1 point lead with 7 seconds left in the game. A Scott foul put SK's Mike Hester on the line down a point, shooting the 1 and 1. With the Scott faithful going crazy and the SK student section's hearts racing, Hester's foul shot hit every part of the rim before finally falling to tie the game up. The second foul shot was missed, and the ball was knocked around, eventually into the hands of Mike Hester who put up a fade away 3 pointer with a few seconds left, that came up short, but SK's Eric Hopkins caught the airball and put up an uncontested layup as time expired to beat the Eagles 69 - 67, very reminiscient of the University of Houston and Jimmy V. As the SK players celebrated, the Scott players fell to their knees. It was a great addition to a great rivalry. Both student sections came to play, as did the players. This is what high school basketball is all about. The only complaint was the amount of fouls the ref's called, i believe there were around 36 total fouls in the game. In a fierce rivalry like this the ref's have to keep control, but they also have to let the boys play. Amazing game, hard fought by both sides, strong win for Simon Kenton over a pesky Scott Squad who will have their hands full with Mason Co. tomorrow. :dancingpa

This will be the first time I will miss this game in a long time. I wish SK luck and I hope that student section makes me proud.

Can anyone post a link or something with SK's schedule?

Congrats to Elbert from SK.

Trinity big... real big

Good to know.

I really hope they do well as a whole this year. Do they have any games near Lexington this year?

He will be fine.

He can play and produce while injured. I'd sit him the first week or two then let him play.
