IMO Gallatin will be in the finals. Their Seniors have all played and started the the last two years so they have game experience in that atmosphere and gym. They will be focused and ready to win. Gallatin's coaches will have them prepared to win it!!!

Anyone know why Coach Jones chose to keep his starters in up until 2 minutes left in the game with them up by nearly 30? This was a poor performance from WV and GC definatley did not work hard to win this one..

 

I didn't think he had all of the starters in together at that point, but I would imagine it was because Walton can go on a 3 point shooting run and it is better to be safe than sorry.

Taylor Jones has really impressed me this year. He takes care of the ball, takes a beaten half the time and has to deal with jabs and remarks from the opponents, refs, and the crowd for being the coaches son. Way to take care of your team Taylor and keep playing hard!

That is one of the attributes of this team. Keeping their emotions in check. I remarked several times the last few nights that the Gallatin players will hardly ever change expression during the game.

Even during the 17-1 run there was no chest bumping, arm waving to the crowd. Heck, I don't ever think they cracked a smile. It was just like business as usual.

 

I know a peewee football coach that always told his team. "Play like you've been there. If you score a touchdown, no need to celebrate, just give the ball back to the ref, like you've been there 100 times, business as usual".:thumb:

Gallatin County is clearly the best basketball team to ever take a court in the state of KY, they win by double digits easily in this matchup with "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" team from WV.

 

The above statement is meant to be taken as a joke sort of:p

 

 

Pretty sarcastic joke-sort of:rolleyes:

Supposed to go back to work Friday night! Haven't decided yet!

 

You better be there. Hmmm Work or Gallatin/Walton Game? Decision should be easy:confused:

Hmmm.

 

Sounded good to me! :dancingpa

If I had to make a list it would include Penny, Maddox, Dunlap, Minnis, and then you could put about 15-20 different players in the last 6 spots.

 

Maddox and then is his teammates will take the next 6 spots for ya:thumb:

I just have to say that the coaches and the players did a wonderful job tonight to turn things around in the second half. If any of you have not seen Gallatin play, you really should come and watch this group of boys play. I have watched alot of basketball in my life and I have never seen a team play like this Gallatin team. They play to win for their coaches ,their fans, but most importantly for each other.

 

There were many other team coaches there tonight scouting. And one group of coaches said to me. "Now that was a good ol' Country a_ _ whooin. right there"

 

I still have a smile on my face :-) way to go Comeback Cats!

No way Gallatin County is ahead of NCC or Holy Cross.

 

No Way?????

 

Really! You might want to re-think this. Gallatin played with Holmes with one of our best players sitting out the second half.:thumb:

Hey now! That is the closest I have every gotten in a game prediction!

 

It was a very good guess! Closer than mine...

 

 

Doesn't 60-53= 7???

 

Every site has one person that is a math teacher...:lol:

 

 

Geezul! Just joking with TB&G...:eek:

Congrats to the Wildcats.

 

Congrats also to the Panthers. I hear that you played a heck of a game!

 

And for the record...in the prediction thread, I called Gallatin by 8!

 

Doesn't 60-53= 7???

 

Very good game. Capacity crowd there and the atmosphere was electric. Congrats to Gallatin for 6-0 in district play.

Any thoughts, Galatin could lock up the #1 seed in the district with a win.:ylsuper:

 

This is not a could, they will lock up the #1 seed with win.

So, they have Lexington Catholic ranked #1 in the state?

 

looks like it. Mason Co. is #2

What do you think?

Well said I think the record speaks for its self. I think the talent at Walton under a different coach would go alot further. It pains me to say this but a coach like Jones in Gallatin could have done so much more with the past teams at Walton.

 

Spilly, I agree, I have seen many of these boys play ball through the years on AAU and BCPWFL and there have been some talented athletes.

Ryle's basketball program is in good hands with Alan Mullins.

 

I agree:thumb: Coach Mullins is a class individual, and is a good young coach.

Early January games are meaningless. When March rolls around, defense will win games, not 85-64 games.

 

An old football coach I had told me this once... The only way to win is to put more points on the board than the other team. Turns out he was right!:lol:

 

Coach Bennett's Career at WV

1998- 6-13 and wins came against teams with combined record of 48-78

1999- 11-13 " " " 49-136(1 team had wiining record)

2000- 9-19 67-115(3 teams had winning record)

2001- 7-21 70-112(no team had winning record)

2002- 12-17 105-137(4 teams had winning record)

2003- 22-6 114-213(3 teams had winning records) Final 4 Class A State

2004- 17-11 122-178(4 teams had winning records)

2005- 8-15 52-107(no team had winning record)

2006- 15-12 71-151(no team had winning record)

2007- 7-7 25-65(Owen only team to this point with winning record)

Career 114-134

I am not certain I follow what you are trying to say by the winning record statements here. I know that in all the years I highlghted Gallatin County had winning records. So what is your point saying this?:confused:

When was the last time someone from the eighth took home the hardware?

Gallatin will need this homecourt advantage to beat WV, but in the end I think they can do it. Good Luck Wildcats!!!

Are you serious??? Gallatin beat WV in their home floor, and was missing a very good player(J Carlton) in that game. Home court advantage has me thinking Gallatin beats Walton Verona by 20+... especially after seeing them play tough this past weekend in the Lloyd Memorial tourney.

Thanks for clarifying. Also, remember that Walton has a freshman that is contributing much more now than when they played earlier in the season. I still think Gallatin will win, just don't overlook Walton.

 

I'm going to go ahead and predict on the Gallatin/Walton game. With both teams at full strength I'm going to say:

GC: 84

WV:59

 

It's only a 25 point spread because of gallatins "homecourt advantage" and not simply being better than walton.

Good atmosphere, nice tournament. Thanks for the clean restrooms!

Gallatin gave Holmes the best game of the Tournament. Holmes players were very polite to our players after the game. Good Luck to Holmes in the 9th!!!

Good game for the Wildcats! Knocked off another big school.

 

The Cats earn the right to play one of Northern Kentucky's best teams Saturday evening when they take on the Holmes Bulldogs. Good luck Cats and way to go!
