Jim Hicks Named Grant County Head Coach
I believe originally from Harlan. Coached one year at Owsley County. Coached 2 or 3 years at Green Up County. Coached 2-4 years at Bath County. Now at Grant. I am not positive about the years so I put # to # just because I didn't want to be wrong. He is an offensive coach for sure at both Owsley and Green Up but I have heard that his defensive coaching has picked up since in Bath and he has done well.:popcorn:

14th Region- Who is going to be the top 5 teams in the region?
They have a nice young group but without adding a player or so and the loss of Whitaker they would be a top 5 team but more around 2-4 rather than 1 or 2.

Estill County Head Coaching Job..
Heard that an assistant from South Laurel got the first offer at Estill job first but that he ended up taking another job because there were more talent coming up, was his reasoning. I had heard it was Jackson Co, is the Jackson Co Coaching job open?

Instant Replay
I have been asked a time or two about a reasonable explanation about a way this could be achieved. A friend and I reasoned through this the other day. 1.) The teams within each district come together and buy a replay system. This system would be used during district tournament only. Reason is that a lot of games played on same day or the system may become an extra toy instead of actually becoming useful. 2.) Each regional referring association is obligated to provide a replay system for each district game. This would mean that each association would have to buy no more than 5 systems per region(one for each separate district tournament). Also the home team of the tournament must provide a person to manage the system during games. The system we were talking about is something as simple as a television hooked up to a camera that is specially placed(preferred from a high position) so that the entire court could be seen as any given time. Such as a wide view of the court. And that the system should have restrictions, such as; only be used in the last five minutes of each half, or last two minutes of each quarter. There are ways that this could be done and done easy but imo it would take a combined effort to actually complete the process. What are everyone's thought about these rough copy ideas?

Owsley County 99 Powell County 96 (2OT)
I seen for Owsley where Evans had 39 and 7 assist, Tyler Willams 20, Timmy Murrell 18 and 11 rebounds, Travis Murrell with 14 pts and 12 Rebounds, Marcus Peter with 9 points and 7 steals(and did a tremendous job holding Brewer to only 8pts in regulation), Justin Johnson had 3 points and Dwight Burkhart had a big time freethrow. For Powell Carlisle had 23 points, Reed had 21, Brewer had 18 points and Nolan with 8 points. A few more scored but either I am not for sure or I didn't have time to catch it. A great game both ways and nothing short of a great finish in the 56th Distric. Good luck to both teams come regional next week.

State Tournament Officials
Tommy Hutton and Brian Cook are both good referees. I have seen both call many of the games in the 56th district and around the region and I think that both are well deserving of this honor.

Corbin 58 South Laurel 57
This must been a good game, I think Corbin was suppose to win by more but looks like SL about pulled one off. Heard some people from Laurel county say that this wasn't an upset.
