This does take credit away from Lee. They limited owsley to 39 points and buckhorn to 41 (97 the night before). When a team plays good defense & contests MOST shots that makes the normally easy shots hard. Shooter dont say well no one is around, i'll make it, they get in the flow of the game were they rush shots & when you rush easy shots, you miss. This is all to do with the DEFENSE & not as much to do with the types of shots that are taken.

I'm not knocking him at all. He makes this team better but if they're going to lose then it might be better to let some of the youngers guys get valuable experience. Looking at what "might" be best for the team & not one individual.

I dont think the 14th all a gives mvp or tournament teams. I didnt go to the game but listened to it, i didnt hear the announcers say anything about it.

The saying must be true, "defense does win championships!!"

1-mayfield or st mary 2-uheight/trigg 3-owensboro catholic 4-Russelville 6-beth haven 7-Moore

I've got a few of the winners but have been unable to get the bracket (wont come up for whatever reason). found some regional winners. can i get a little help here?? 1-?? 2-?? 3-?? 4-?? 5-Bardstown 6-?? 7-?? 8-Gallatin Co 9-Newport Central Catholic 10-Bishop Brossart 11-Lexington Christian 12-Somerset 13-Barbourville 14-Lee 15-South Floyd 16-Fairview??

This is true!! I'm guessing that they could meet again for the FOURTH TIME!!

Agreed!!!

thought #1: Lee played good defense and forced owsley into some bad shots thought #2: Owsley has some good talent returning next year thought #3: Smith is a great player but putting it in his hands and his hands only will hurt this team in the long run since he is the only senior. thought #4: Buckhorn & Lee will be a GREAT game!!

Riley played a great game & the entire team was solid. Took probably 5 charges & several that were called blocks (charges imo). Gilbert seemed to try and get everyone involved early but they werent hitting so he took over & at least made it a game late until his shots stopped falling. Buckhorn played really really hard & wanted this one more!!!

Did anyone see Gilberts game against buckhorn??? He turned into kobe bryant for about a 5 minute stretch. cutting buckhorns lead from 20 to 7. Wolves defense was just terrible-97 points against!!!

I've never heard of lee being the BIG SCHOOL but i guess they are tonight!! ironic

How do you figure professor?? Lee played @ owsley without smith in dec & won by 13. played to time with him & won by 19 & 21??? I'm not disagreeing with you totally but I wonder about these facts!! I think Smith is a great kid and a good player but I wonder what impact he is having on "the team." He is the only senior & came back in January as the savior of this team. How do you think the rest of the players feel about this? Smith scored 21 last night & neeley scored 9 equalling 30. How many times prior to smith arriving did Neeley score 30???? I can recall several times. It seems that smith is drawing much more attention & will affect the entire nucleus of this team next year.

When a ho was a ho, coke was a coke & saturday night live was funny!!

Is Crowe playing better?? I've seen him over that last few years & have not been impressed.

Agreed, this game is over so lets move on to the semi matchups!!

I could get a sense of that & was hoping it was just frustration. He's a really talented kid but with "character issues" being at an all time high, it was a concern. I'm sure after talking to him, one would change their minds. Thanks for your insight!!!

KF & MW- Gilbert is very talented & with his skills & athleticism could possibly make it to D-1 (mid to lower level). His size doesnt hurt either. He's seems to be a good kid but his attitude might be a question mark. I've only seen him play a few times & i've questioned some of his actions & behavior. I might be completely off base but if i were a recruiter, this would be my biggest concern.

Read my last post. Gilbert can score, pass, rebound & play defense. If he were on PCC, he would be ranked even higher on the state charts. He was tripled teamed nightly & had to work hard since he was the only scoring option (wearing down & sometimes taking less than high % shots). Things should change now that Stamper can help with the scoring load & he can only be double teamed instead of triple teamed. He is the BEST player, not the Best player on one of the Best teams.

Craig Hodges use to fill it up in the NBA from the 3 point line. Is he the best NBA player ever?? Gilbert scores, passes (more now that he has more help), rebounds (i'm guessing but around 10 a game at least) & draws the #1 offensive player from the opposing team (either the point or center, he guards all).

Hicks is a good player!! Stats are important as long as the players are playing "team ball", playing hard and have a good attitude. To quote Eric Clapton, "Tonight's the night" 14th region fans!!!

Owsley faithful are just that "faithful" 1st game in booneville: traditional will beat lee since they hadnt won in booneville in 19 yrs. lee wins by 13. 2nd game in beattyville: lee cant win 2 district games in one year and they get smith back. lee wins by 19. 3rd game in All "A": Owsley are playing better & 3rd time might be a charm. This is what is great about High School basketball!! Stick with your team!! Ditka playing the Bobcats?? I'll take Ditka 100 to tree (3).

Not to bring up bad blood between these 2 but I found it really enjoyable reading about the last game between these 2 schools (i think it was the last time). There was talk about cheating, playing posseum, injuries, posters & the kitchen sink i believe. I hated they closed that thread!! Will there be more tricks up these 2 teams sleeves come friday???

He would be a better player?? He probably would since there has been a coaching carousel the last few years & one coach would benefit & one philosophy. He might be a better player but he wouldnt get mentioned as much or his stats wouldnt be as good as they are.

You honestly think Bailey is better than Gilbert?? thats how i take your remark. Bailey is a really good player but Gilbert is shoulders about any other 14th region player.
