Somerset played well tonight with the exception of a few costly turnovers late in the third.. They were ahead by 3 at the half, but after a run in the third Lincoln went up by, I think 5 points at the end of the third and kept the lead all through the 4th by knocking down free throws.. They had to shoot 90% from free throws.. Lincoln came out in the second half on fire! they can shoot lights out..

Somerset has only lost one game at home all season long, and that was to Dunbar in the first game of the season, I can guarentee you Lincoln won't win this one easily..

Yes but Somerset was also up by double digits that entire game and let cawood back in the game there at the end.. Jumpers werent playing very good basketball during that tourny and if they play again Somerset by 20 plus..

Coach Thacker made an emphasis this year of not mentioning the All A untill came around.. Not a word was said about it, till the week before.. I will say they arent exactly playing the best basketball right now, but they do have the toughest schedule in the region for the rest of the regular season.. Sure did put a lot of effort and time to configure the stats for this one post huh?

They got up 6-0 after 2 innings???? How is that slow getting started?

I think your exactly right..

Thats just stupid to put Watts back in with 53 seconds left...Thats asking for trouble

Thacker will have the Jumpers up and ready after losing two straight games for the first time since early december.. Somerset 61 Wayne Co. 53

Somerset 61 Pulaski 51

Wow-- Dont be bitter just because Somerset is second all-time in wins in the Class A tournament, and not a private school! No one said anything about blaming it on something!

Probably because Lincoln has 3 of the top players in the region.. And according to the Cats paws Ryan young is considered the best player in the region.. I think it will be a great game that I wish I could make it to but I think Lincoln wins in a close one..

These 2 match up in the first round of the all a....Somerset is making their 8th straight trip, and Murray is making their 1st in 15 years...Anyone have info or predictions?

Tyler Bourne from Somerset is putting up great numbers

[quote=Boucher;2625638I heard Somerset's coach Thacker complained worse than Feldhaus regarding officiating at the Hoopin' it Up. Maybe they just got beat as well.[/QUO What I didnt hear was anyone say anything about Somerset or Coach Thacker, I attended the majority of games at the 'Hoopin it up' and the offiating was terrible..

The Jumpers were fun to watch in this one.. They passed it well and played great team basketball, the game may not have been in doubt, but they continued to play the right way, they could have scored a hundred tonight if the coaches would have let them..

Ha i believe outside of Lincoln this thing is wide-open.. And even Lincoln is capable of getting beat by a few teams in the regoin..

Fact of the matter is, he doesnt like to see Somerset Succeed.. And that 2-3 zone your talking about, Somerset played a 2-3 zone for maybe a fourth of the game, most the time it was man to man and they held west to 45 points so clearly they did do an "excellent" job didnt they, Banker? What exactly is your reasoning for disliking Somerset? because you having something against the Jumpers is about the only point your making.. Do you even come to any of the games?

10 cupcakes? West Jessamine is not a cupcake... West beat McCreary and they have been playing good basketball all year... The Jumpers won 3 district games including against Pulaski which if you've ever been around, is NEVER easy for either team no matter the talent level...The won the Queen City Classic, beating Louisville Southern a very athletic team that plays in a tough region...Then Grayson County who is no push over... I dont believe your giving Somerset enough credit!

do you have any stats? Was the game ever close?

Sure did, the Jumpers play several different defenses this year, but mainly a tough man to man.. With all the athleticism and talent the coaching staff decided to change it up and it seems to be working...

whoops! I'm not really sure what to do now..

Somerset was only up by 7 at the half but absolutely dominated the second half.. SHS was up 32 when the starters came out with about 5 minutes left.. 9 in a row for the Jumpers now..

Actually 5 out of the 7 teams had a winning record at the time they played Somerset, NOT 1! No one said anything about a tough schedule, just stated that they had won 7 in a row.. Just because your clearly not a fan of Somerset doesnt mean you have to look for a way to bring them down.. They're playing well right now
