Adam "Bird" Tackett from Greenup 96-99

Covington Catholic

Officiating favored Huntington, but it did not determine the game. Walls had a solid game, Portwood led the team. Portwood should of got more touches at the end of the 4th quarter. He was on fire.

Mackey had 12, played a good game, but didn't shoot the ball well.

It is a stretch to say Cokksey's first team could have won the region.

Ward's last team with Sutton and Griffith were a lot better and they did not win the region.

Plus I dont remember Lawson being player of the year in the region.

Lawson was the 2000-2001 Region Player of the Year

Greenup beat Boyd and East. Greenup should be ahead of them. Beat Boyd at home and East away. Then lost a close game to Rowan.

The two middle school system is a big part of the problem. When the schools were purposed to be opened they were named Greenup County East (Wurtland) and Greenup County West (McKell). But, then magically those names were literally removed from the schools (I remember seeing the names posted at the Wurtland location on a sign) and the county was once again split with the old animosity from the days of having three independent schools. As far as making it to the Region once in four years, one must understand that when Hicks arrived the program was near the bottom. The previous regime before Hicks seemed to believe that the talent at the school was never ending and seemingly fell out of trees. As I've said before under Ward GC was a program and to have that you have to cultivate the talent, not just expect it to show up. No matter your opinion I think that Hicks was on the verge of bringing the program back to one of the better programs in the 16th Region. Much like his predecessor, I believe that at first he was of the philosophy that the talent would just flood in, but it took a couple of seasons for him to learn differently. The truth is there has always been jealousy in and of the basketball program at GC, it is unfortunate that the many years that one man (Ward) put into a program is no closer to being a contender than it was after he left. As far as who he beat to be 4-1, it's just as hard to judge what his record would be as of now as it is to say the current coach could do just the same.

There may not be a big supply of athletes at Greenup. Who's fault is it? No one. There are several top notch players that could have graduated in the past couple of years or play this year that would definately put Greenup back up on top. These players decided not to play or went some where else to play. Greenup needs a coach to stay there for awhile and the players will come. However, the JV has only lost 2 games and the seniors are a very good group of kids. Together they can make a run in the region. Don't give up boys, we all have faith you in you!

Ashland is tough, they could lose tomorrow and still be a favorite.

Greenup's Wolfenbarker was in foul trouble all game and Ashland got too big of lead for Greenup to overcome. Am I saying if Wolfenbarker wasn't in foul trouble Greenup would win? NO. It probably would have been a closer game when Greenup played a lot better 2nd half.

which week is the region?

I that permant or interim? If interim, is it through the end of the season?

Interim coach for the rest of the season.

The Baker son is doing a great job as well at East Carter

I don't follow your post. I never mentioned anything about 97. Breedens first year was 92 or 93. He went then and again in 96.

I believe he meant to reply to Strike above you.

Roger Zornes would be the closest. Boyd Co. to the State tournament and Ironton, OH to the Ohio State Championship

Did Rose Hill 2003?

The 6,7, and 8th players coming off the bench for Elliott will make the difference in this game.

Elliott 10

Not necessarily at the expense of Menifee, but I'm glad to see the 'teers get a solid win under their belt.

 

Hopefully, the naming of Sutton will help get them settled down, and headed in the right direction.

Agree!

:laugh:

:laugh:

This was a ten point game at the end of the third and about a 13 point game

for most of the fourth. Greenup scored 4 or 6 points against the JV at the

end of the ballgame. For a rivalry game and coming off a tough loss, I'll take

a win on the road.

Greenup's JV was in too.

Greenup showed a lot tonight, they will be a contender if Greenup progresses after this game.

I believe the Coach Marty Mills is currently coaching basketball on the Shawnee State University staff. I believe they are 3rd in their conference with a legit chance to make the national tournament. I'm not sure he would want to give up that position to go coach at G.C. during all this controversy!

Yea, Mills is doing coaching at SSU voluntarily.

Hicks fired and remains as teacher

Sutton Coach

Press was released today

A team could lose every game left on their schedule. A first game victory in Districts can erase everything.

Get a saddle, he's been riding him all night!

Matt is a good player. He is D1 not honorable mention IMO

This was to promote players that don't get the recognition they deserve. I feel he deserves more than he is. But, I truly agree with you all the way.

You couldn't guard a water bucket!!

Playing defense like your stealing hub caps.

Running like your tip toeing in the daisies.

You would be illegal in 7 states.

Why is Matt Daniel's name on here? He is one of the best players in the region and gets alot of recognition?

He doesn't get the recognition he deserves in my opinion.

Here are some players that deserve some recognition for their continue effort on the court. Players that might not receive the recognition in the papers as others may do. Feel free to add some players.

Good Job boys keep up the good work.
