Big Daddy Bear

Couldn't agree more TC. The very reason I love a game in the Panther Den.

More than a few llbc.

Know you should not go to an away game and expect very much in the way of any calls but my goodness. This game was nothing but a gang war without the knives and clubs. Not one to blame losses on officiating and I won't here. Bracken County did not do much in the way of helping theirselves tonight. But I will say that this game was very close to being out of hand several times. And that can attributed to officiating. Those in stripes have to established control of a game or you get what this one turned into. I will say the stripes did manage to keep the Fleming County student body off the floor tonight but that was about all they controled !

Thanks to LLbcfor compiling and posting the stats. And thanks to the coaches that provide them.

Can only echo the previous 3 or 4 posts. Congrats to the Mustangs. No disrespect to Cavary Christian, but the win over St. Pat sealed the deal for me. That would have been the dream final for me. Still not over it , what a great ballgame !

Lady Panthers. Keep listening to that coaching staff. You are getting better ever time out !

You will only get better playing teams of this caliber.

Real good teams win when the game is on the line. Congrats Lady Royals.

One more time, I do not mean to take anything away from Nicholas County. What a great win for them. That is really stepping it up to get beat by 35 and then turn around take awin from the team that handed you that loss. Just awesome.

Not making any kind of judgement at all. I know some folks can say home cooking or what have you. Also don't think the 35 at HARRISON is a good barometer. All that aside, just saying that playing in the comfort zone of your own gym will , in most cases, always be an advantage. No bus ride, mom's cooking, etc. A relaxed athelete will always play better.

to answer the question by option right: It really shouldn't.....but more often than not it does.

They would not make such a big deal out of home court advantage if it didn't!

Great game. Just an all out war. Very heated underneath. Kinda looked like Anderson and Owens were running out of gas in the fourth. Very tough road to get to the semi. Congrats to the Mustangs, they played one heck of a game !

Wow. Any details or stats out there on this game ? Where was it played at ?

Haven't had the old stripes out in quite some time and I'm pretty sure they'd look like something pshycedelic by now, but I'd be willing to put them on for this one. I even took my last vacation day from last year for this one.

Got it on good authority that the guy on the Augusta bench says he is a LOT better looking. On the topic: I'm going with Bracken by eight, 50-42.

Pendleton struggling right now without the full time services of Natalie Kelsch due to health reasons. Bracken coming off a loss in the All A finals. Both teams have had Jekyll and Hyde seasons at various points. Whose your pick in this Thursday night matchup ?

Hands down. this game always takes on it's own identity. I bleed blue but often root for the orange and black as well. Especially like this game when played at the Panther Den. Always a fan pleaser!

Congrats to Coach Kelsch and the Panthers. Good Luck in the All "A". Great to see Ty Krebs back in the both lineups after some health concerns and a bad spill at the Den. Tough kid, no way to keep him down!

Knowing what's going to happen and being able to do something about it are two different things. I think St. Pat just has Deming's number this year. Going with the Paddies 70-60. The only real question to be answered : Has Coach Hinson invested in that Green sweater vest yet or not ?

Way to go Lady Panthers.

Congrats to the Lady Hounds and good luck in the State tourney. I'm sure you will represent the tenth very well. For the Lady Bears, thanks for an exciting run in the tourney. Keep you heads up - still a lot of ball to play.

Big Daddy will texting on the down low tomorrow. Maybe in person wouldn't be so bad anyway. Man, do I hate missing a ballgame.

Heard the same thing. way to go A Rog. Agree with Country boy. The Lady Bears need everybody to contribute to be successful. But there are alot worse problems to have than being able to play 10 players. Good Luck in the finals Lady Bears. Big Daddy's workin' again tommorrow but I'll be rootin' for ya Long Distance.

The exact thing I've been waiting to see from Miller as well. What a ballgame!
