What a pleasant change of pace for Elliott County to have a good record and be ranked. The new coaching staff has worked wonders. -
Ashland / Lewis Co. predictions...
BogeyMan replied to happy ol' dad's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Coaching not the difference, but talent is. Ashland should win by more than 20. -
16th Region MVP Last 25 Years
BogeyMan replied to Ashland Tomcat 1959's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
If that is the criteria you choose to use, and not the best player, then I would pick Kelly Wells. Three regional titles in a row is hard to argue with. -
16th Region MVP Last 25 Years
BogeyMan replied to Ashland Tomcat 1959's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
No doubt those are three great players. You cannot in good conscience ignore Mayo. I can't believe I'm the one defending Mayo, but the truth is certainly hard to ignore if we are going to have an honest discussion. I don't care if he did transfer in and out of here after a brief tenure. I have been closely involved with basketball in this region for over 40 years and while here, he was the most talented player I have ever watched in this region, and that is not even considering what he has become since leaving. -
Rose Hill vs Boyd Co. Predictions
BogeyMan replied to ROSE HILL MOM's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
It's tough for a two man team to win, but they beat Morgan County, and Morgan County seems to be better than Boyd County. After watching Boyd's guards I do not see how they can do anything with Jackson at all. You can keep Selby out of the game by pushing the ball hard, but Rose Hill doesn't seem inclined to do that. Euton can shoot over Selby all night, but if Selby is allowed to get physical it could take Euton out of his game. Rose Hill 57-54. Jackson gets 27 and Euton gets 21. -
Russell vs Fairview- Predictions

If Rex doesn't get the charge call, he'll get the T for arguing the blown call. -
Elliott County vs Bath County predictions
BogeyMan replied to mpspencer63's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Bath's guards are decent, but no way the keep Elliott's guards "in check." Elliott by at least 30 and Ferguson will have a huge game. Bath has no one who can handle him without getting in a lot of foul trouble. -
Elliott County VS Christian County
BogeyMan replied to mpspencer63's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
The meaning of any scrimmage game is hard to figure as well. Christian County will be a strong test for Elliott County. I look for a close game with a score in the 70's. This is the first team to match Elliott's talent level so it should be a good measuring stick. -
Elliott plays man, but they double the ball and trap when they want to apply pressure or speed the tempo up. With their quickness it is quite effective.

They will need the important contributions off all of the top 7 players to reach their goals this year. -

Top 10 Players in the 16th
BogeyMan replied to Michael Corleone's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
I agree he spends too much time inside and he draws a ton of foouls, many of which go uncalled. He gets more done inside than anyone I can recall for his isze. Knipp is much weaker than Ferguson, but his size is still an improvement over Elliott's inside game last year. Morgan plays hardbut is not near the presence inside offensively or defensively as either Knipp of Ferguson. Four of Elliott's starters are good rebounders and quick to the ball which really helps offset the size difference the face against good teams. -
Selby had 10 of his 17 in the first quarter and pretty much was wore out. Elliott forced Boyd into 33 turnovers and shot almost 50%.

Elliott County So Far This Season
BogeyMan replied to The Hammer's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
The first 7-8 play meaningful minutes. Flanery and Nickell are getting more time lately as they are learning to handle the ball stronger and getting to play late in the blowouts. They are small guards and opponents immediately press them with their starters when they enter the game. That is probably a big reason one of the other guards has to play late in the blowout wins. -
Rose Hill 63 Morgan Co 60
BogeyMan replied to CountyPride's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Those two are excellent players. They are going to have a hard time beating good teams with scoring lines like 27,25, 6 and 5, though. -
East Carter 82 Greenup 62
BogeyMan replied to RH for three's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
My thoughts on Greenup exactly. Elliott broke the "press" repeatedly and shot layup after layup. That style of play can work IF you can shoot and apply defensive pressure. Greenup does neither. -
Rose Hill 63 Morgan Co 60
BogeyMan replied to CountyPride's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Any stats for this game? Did anyone beside Euton and Jackson score? -
Selby scored when he was fed on the low post. However, he was tugging on his jersey and completely out of breath 4 minutes into the game. He picked up a couple of fouls just grabbing at quicker players. Knipp did a decent job on him defensively. The Faulkners and Chris Knipp completely disrupted Boyd's guards and they really could never get into an offensive set. Ferguson scored almost at will inside and out. A very dominating performance for Elliott. They go on those 10-2, 15-4 runs because of defensive pressure and the game gets out of hand quickly.

Top 10 Players in the 16th
BogeyMan replied to Michael Corleone's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
I tend to agree with about everyone's top 5 in some order, but I think Timmy Knipp is getting overlooked. I rarely say that any player is a D1 talent but he is the real deal. He has added wight and strength over the summer and can score from about anywhere. His ballhandling has improved greatly and he is becoming an excellent passer. His improvement is a big reason that Elliott is stronger this year. They really lacked size last year and his development has allowed Ferguson to play more on the wing and avoid foul trouble. -
Elliott County So Far This Season
BogeyMan replied to The Hammer's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Let's look at that. Elliott plays the conference and District games they are required to, plus Mason County, the Fifth Third Classisc at LexCath and the All-A Classic. I'll match that against most schools around here. -
Rose Hill vs Morgan Co. Predictions
BogeyMan replied to ROSE HILL MOM's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Rose Hill's big two are probably better than Morgan's five. The Hill by 8. -
Greenup vs East Carter Predictions
BogeyMan replied to VARSITY_09's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
East wins without the two starters. Greenup plays no defense and Drew Johnson will have a big night. -
Boyd County vs Elliott County predictions
BogeyMan replied to kingofthejungle's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
I did not say he wasn't a good player. I certainly challenge the statement that he would be the best player on Elliott's team. -
Boyd County vs Elliott County predictions
BogeyMan replied to kingofthejungle's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
I bet Zornes loves all these 20-40 point predictions. I am sure Elliott will be happy to play well and get the win. The score will take care of itself if Elliott plays smart and continues to force turnovers by playing such tough defense. -

That sounds ominous!
