321-good

I hear this all the time BUT at that time in the game the missed call did decide the game. You can always rationalize the other points in the game when things happen but when it comes down to the end is when things do have a major impact on the outcome of the game. The reason is that there is not any more time to make up for what happened...and that decides the game.

Why???

What did you all think of your new experience in the "ARENA?"

Best possible draw for South (don't let anybody fool you)...I see them in the finals again. Clay will finally win a first round game. Corbin - South championship again...IMHO.

I agree, for a big game I thought it poorly officiated all the way around.

Good win for Mboro. The reaction of the players and fans you would of thought they won the district. They should win the all "A" without any problem. The Brown kid for Mboro is the quickest player I've seen in the 13th in a long time. Smith shot the lights out from 3 pt. range. Very physical game, 2 of the refs seemed lost most of the night. Should be a good district tourney.

It will be a total disgrace to Middlesboro and the boy's basketball program if they don't sweep Bell this year. But, it wouldn't suprise me if they didn't win a game aganist Bell.

Any teams from outside the 13th or outside the state that go to Corbin and Clay Co. can expect to get the short end of officiating if they have the usual suspects calling the games. It's a shame but true.

The ONLY problem Mboro has had is coaching.

Mboro should of won the All "A" region at least 3 of the past 6/7 years with the talent that has gone through that school. Improvement under Jones is very debatable because last season was one of the most talented teams Mboro has had recently. Time will tell this season, if the past is any indication I wouldn't look for much.

Talent hasn't been Mboro's problem the past 5-6 years. If no coaching change :confused:,than one can only expect the same as years past.

Has South filled the AD position? JD could be the next AD and not coaching.

Is JD Strange leaving to go to South Laurel?

Is Mboro going to have a coaching change? That's a lofty prediction considering nothing has changed that I know of at Mboro. They sure have the talent to achieve better than you predict. I don't think people in Mboro believe they will do much better than last season unless a coaching change.

As long as MBORO keeps the same coaching they will continue to be a team with great talent that finishes in the middle of the pack in the 13th. I've never seen a bigger waste of talent than MBORO in the last 5-6 years. With all the talent I don't think they have even made it out of the District tourney.

I'm sure Bell, Harlan Co. and Harlan don't want a coaching change at Mboro. Why would they? All the talent Mboro has had and what has been acomplished? I wouldn't want a coaching change either. Give Morris a couple years at Bell and everyone in the region will wish Whitaker was back at Bell.

I guess Mboro would be happy with just being a District contender. With the talent Whitaker had at Bell and NO region titles. Would not be a good move for Mboro, but anyone would be better than what they've had lately.

I agree there needs to be a coaching change at Middlesboro. Mboro has only beat Bell 1 time since Millett was the coach. Best I can remember when Millett was there they pretty much split with Bell almost every year, with 1 District Title. Bruner was before Millett and at the end of his run Bell was dominent(last 4/5 years). With Morris at Bell, Mboro better make a change quick or it will be another 10 years before Mboro wins.

If M'boro keeps the same coaches they had this year, they will have the same result (if not worse) next year that they had this year. M'boro has wasted a lot of talent the last 4/5 years.

That's great for Brandon. I've known Brandon and his dad for years but lost contact with them a few years ago. Last I knew of Brandon, he was an assistant at Ashland. They are great people.

Did Brandon's dad coach at East Carter? Where does Brandon coach?

The two best coaching staffs in the 13th. I'm going with South in a close one.

I agree! If Bell doesn't play hard with intensity on both ends of the floor they could get beat. Bell better not underestimate LC.

Great draw for Bell, no way LC beats Bell (nothing aganist LC). Morris has done a great job at Bell this year and I don't see a let down vs LC. Bell will play very hard and very good defense. Corbin-South final, South wins again.

Clay - Cumberland South - LC KC - Corbin Bell _ Jackson Clay _ south KC - Jackson South - KC SOUTH to RUPP
