Quagmire

This one was a classic. Two teams battling from beginning to end with the Panthers pulling out the win to improve to 17-9.

I was there last night for the first time. They do have a nice gym. Just sayin’.

Wow. The Augusta Panthers sent a very clear message to Mason County and the rest of the 39th district with a huge win at the Fieldhouse tonight. They could very well hold the #1 seed when the 39th district tournament starts. They are now tied with the Royals with a 5-1 district record. Augusta improves to 12-6 and hosts St. Patrick on Friday night. On that particular night, the historic Augusta gymnasium will be designated by the Kentucky High School Basketball Hall of Fame as a Glory Road site. They will be honoring gyms across the state who have played a role in helping make Kentucky high school basketball the cultural phenomenon it is today. The presentation will take place between the girls and boys games. Programs will be on sale for $10 commemorating the history of our tiny historic gymnasium.

Everybody loves to talk about offense. The face of every team is the quarterback. But only one team left in the playoffs has the #1 defense in the league and that would be my Philadelphia Eagles. Jayden Daniels has had a remarkable rookie season but I like my Birds at home to win and go to Super Bowl 59!! #GoBirds

I feel like Noah is the more physically ready to play in the SEC. But don’t count out Perry. How many ppl thought Sheppard would do what he did this season? Good luck to both guys as they prepare for the next chapter.

Custard is a grown man. Could not be stopped. Anyone have scoring in this one?

Harrison got 57 points from two guys and survived against Scott. Can’t do that and beat the Royals. Got to have more guys involved. Mason will wear you down. I say Smiley drops 5 3s and helps the Breds get by the Royals, 70-65.

The quarterfinals were available on NFHS through Prepspin but that didn’t work very well. Only was able to see the second half of the Mason/Bourbon game. The other games wouldn’t even start. Is that an option for tonight? Although free popcorn sounds good… Prediction: Campbell 69, GRC 65 The loss of Ashford makes a difference tonight.

This was a tough one to watch. I haven’t seen many of Mason County games this season but this has to be one of their best performances. Credit to them for making a statement that they are a contender for the 10th region’s spot in the Sweet Sixteen. As for the Panthers, a great season came to an unfortunate end. But this loss will not define this group. They finished the season 20-10, the 8th 20 win season in school history, 4 of which have been in the last 11 seasons. Three of those seasons were coached by KABC 10th region coach of the year, Jason Hinson. We also brought home our 2nd All A region title. We lose KABC 10th region player of the year Kylan Hinson, Conner Snapp, Devante Jefferson, Elijah Johnson and Jesse Johnson. Good luck to our seniors. Keeton Bach, Will Kelsch and Noland Young return to lead the Panthers next season in the first year of seeding in the 39th district. We’ll see you then.

Allow me to answer my own question. The 38th and 40th will be as well.

I know that the 39th will be available on NFHS. Will any of the other districts be as well?

To the best of my knowledge Snapp will play. The Panthers will be ready. Should be a good battle on Tuesday night in Brooksville. I’d get there early.

Congrats to coach Hinson and Kylan Hinson! It’s been a great year, let’s keep it going on Tuesday night!!!

Snapp is hopeful to return before the district game with Mason County. The Panthers have had to find a different way to win w/out him on the floor and have done so. Most of the wins haven’t been pretty but wins nonetheless. Gallatin was as good a win as the Panthers have had this season. Holmes comes to visit on Thursday then a tough one in Cynthiana on Saturday afternoon to close out the week.

Augusta started what they hope will be a new winning streak with Monday night’s victory. It didn’t start out the way they planned as they trailed after 1 quarter, 14-10. Wasn’t long after they jumped in front 16-14 and never looked back. Kylan Hinson led all scorers with 33 points. Joining him in double digits were Conner Snapp with 13, and Keeton Bach with 12. Panthers are on the road again on Wednesday at St. Patrick, game time, 6pm.

Best of luck to the Augusta Panthers as they take on Walton Verona tomorrow in the All A State Tournament held at the Corbin Arena. Game time scheduled for 1pm.

From allaclassic.org Media Information 5. Broadcast media must use cell phones to broadcast as no landlines or electrical outlets will be available in the assigned media seating section. The broadcast rights fee charge for each game is $150 and should be paid prior to broadcast. Checks should be made to the All “A” Classic.

Was wondering if anyone has ever broadcasted a game at the Corbin Arena. We’ve been informed that there are no electric outlets in the media area. I’ve never been there before but this sounds like a huge inconvenience for broadcasters. So, any tips or info would be appreciated.
