Give Coach Mays and the Lions credit for a great year. I just get sick and tired of all these fans giving Dodd a hard time. We are talking about a guy who is in the NAIA Hall of Fame as a player and coach. Evidently he done something right. Oh by the way, he just led the Devils to their first regional title in 34 years.

Russell Wins First Region Title Since 1972!!!!!!!!!

YOUR SO CALLED BAD COACH JUST MADE HISTORY BY WINNING YOUR FIRST REGIONAL TITLE SINCE 1972!!!!!!!!!! AND REALIZE YOU HAVE ONE OF THE BEST COACHES IN THE STATE OF KENTUCKY!!!!!!!!!!! 24 POINTS IS A MEMORY NOW!!!!!!! CONGRATS TO THE DEVISL AND COACH DODD, YOU DESERVE THIS CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!:devil:

To my knowledge this is the second year in a row a losing team had the M.V.P. (last year Vanhoose from Russell). When is the last time a freshman was M.V.P. of the 16th region (J.Ferguson-Elliott)???

Fairview 58 Russell 47

Very good information Tubby Friend we were discussing the same thing last night at the regional tournament.

Rowan 34 Russell 24

I get so sick and tired of everybody blaming Flynn. I know and understand the tradition at Ashland but because he has a rough year everybody wants him out. He has done a tremendous job as the head coach at Ashland and at his previous coaching jobs. I am sure that the if he leaves or is ask to resign he will be a success wherever he goes. If he leaves, this region is losing a class act.

Fairview top scorer: Cody Black around 14-15 per game

16th Region Pairings Elliott vs Ashland Greenup vs Menifee Russell vs Rowan Fairview vs West

I have gotten to know Coach Dodd the past couple of years and he has been a great guy to be around. However, this year's team has underachieved and you got to think if his team does not go far in the region that the Devil faithful will demand his firing. The Dodd squad will propbably have to beat Rowan and Fairview in the region for him to have a chance to keep his job. I hope his back next year regardless of the outcome in the 16th Region Tournament. 24 points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1:argue:

Hard To Beat A Team Three Times In A Season But The Eagles Have Easily Handled The Comets Twice. Got To Think The Winner Of Elliott And Ashland Should Be In The Finals. I Look For Rowan To Pull Out The Victory Against Russell And If Elliott Can Shoot Well From The Outside They Can Get By The Tomcats.

Monday Elliott County vs Ashland - Great Match-Up Greenup vs Menifee County - First one to 30 points wins Tuesday Rowan County vs Russell - Look out for Vikings West Carter vs Fairview - Eagles have easily beaten Comets twice this year Friday - Semi-Finals Saturday - Championship GO EAGLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

I second that!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it comes down to free throw shooting the Eagles will definitely win this ball game. The Eagles did miss the front end of the bonus three times last night but they are one of the top five teams in the state in free throw percentage. They will not miss them tomorrow night.

Cooksey's late game adjustments were superb!!!! When Boyd County stayed in the zone late in the fourth Cooksey made sure his team held the ball and wasted almost two minutes off the clock. Everybody was down on this team because they had lost thier last two games but I believe these kids were focused in on this game for the past two weeks. Barker and Hutchinson did a great job on Owens but he failed to get the ball to the open man when he was double-tripled team. He is a outstanding player and I hate to see his high school career end on a sour note. The Swami took the Eagles so we knew were going to win!!!! Only problem is the Swami has the Tomacats over the Eagles tomorrow night but that is not going to happen. This region is up for grabs with five or six teams with a legitimate shot to go to Lexington. Can not wait for next week.

1. Cooksey - better get it this year as Eagles will be young for the next two years. 2. Mays - a regional championship in the next three years 3. Fraley - look out 16th region if this team stays together

Ashland/Boyd County rivalry does not happen on the expense of the Eagles tonight. Fairview 64 Boyd 61

F.Y.I. The Fairview- Boyd County game will be on taped delay on 105.7 WLGC after the Kentucky-Tennesse game BUT will be on live on 107.5 WZZZ.

Sorry West Virginia Boy that your team got beat last night!!! Also, I bet every guard that has played at Fairview in the past twenty years could take you to the rack!!!!

Rex Cooksey 1990 ADI Coach of The Year. He had a guard named Mike Helton who turned in one of the greatest regional tournament performances ever. Ironically, the Eagles lost to Boyd County in the regional finals that year.
